Hey everyone! Light here. I've decided to make this into a trilogy and added more to the title. I hope you enjoy the first chapter!


Chapter 1

Lilykit mewed as she was locked in a nightmare. Though the Clan around her was peaceful and her mother was grooming her to try and wake her up, she couldn't escape it.

Blood was splashed all around the camp. The dead bodies of her Clanmates were everything, but three stood out most to her. Fawnsong, Eagleclaw and Treestar. "StarClan save us!" She wailed then saw fours stars sparkle brightly in the sky. She blinked up at them thoughtful then screeched as claws grabbed onto her. "No! Please someone save me!" Darkness filled her vision. StarClan will never help you.

"Lilykit!" Her eyes shot open and she looked around frantically. "Mama?" She whimpered. "I'm here my sweet Lilykit." She looked at her mother in relief. "Mama I had the worst dream ever! Everyone was dead and StarClan wouldn't save me from these bad cats!"

Fawnsong's eyes hardened a little. "Sweetheart, you can't trust them. Remember what I've told you... StarClan does not care about us." Her big, fluffy tail lashed. "You can't trust them. They'll take away everything you've ever loved." She licked behind one of her gray ears.

Lilykit nodded and purred softly. "Yes mama. I understand." She then heard her denmate calling for her. "Lilykit! Come play with me and Featherkit!" Her blue eyes lit up. "I'm coming Lionkit!" She bounced out of the den. "Be careful! Don't get hurt!" Fallowsong called. "I know mama!"

Lionkit was throwing a mossball to his sister. "There you are! I thought you were going to sleep the day away!" Lilykit huffed. "I'm awake now! Let's play!"


Lilykit sighed her paws growing heavy from exhaustion. "Come on Lilykit! Sagepaw came back with a huge squirrel and rabbit!" Lionkit called. He was her best friend, but he could be so annoying.

Lilykit walked after Lionkit her paws dragging. "Look!" She looked at the fresh kill pile and was surprised that the older she-cat could caught such prey. She vowed to herself that she would do even better when she became a warrior.

"This was my final assessment! I wish Yarrowpaw and Tansypaw were being named with me." Sagepaw meowed with longing. Lilykit had heard about Yarrowpaw from Stormheart. She was his last apprentice, but died in a battle with ShadowClan along with their mother Birdtail. In her mates grief, Mallowtail retired to the elder's den even though it was his time to do so and his sight was failing him.

"I'm sure Birdtail and Yarrowpaw are watching over you from StarClan." Eagleclaw ran his tail down Sagepaw's spine. "And Tansypaw will call your name and wish you feel. His calling is to be a medicine cat."

Lilykit forced herself not to scowl when her father said StarClan's name. She never understood how he could still trust them while her mother hated them. She trusted her mother more though as her father was never around. Even if he wasn't training his young apprentice, he shared prey with Sagepaw and went on midnight hunts with her.

Lilykit snorted a little. "What's wrong?" She looked at Lionkit's worried eyes. They found out about Sagepaw and Eagleclaw together, but didn't want to hurt Fallowsong. "Nothing." She muttered back her blue eyes cool.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath the Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Lilykit looked up and saw their Clan leader Treestar. She couldn't help but look up to the noble leader even if she obviously believed in StarClan. Treestar had a hard life as everyone made fun of her because of her extremely long tail. Even her warrior name had reflected this: Treebranch. But she never let that stop her from being a great warrior and now leader

"Today one of our apprentices have had their final assessment and from Eagleclaw and Blossomfang's report, she is ready to become a warrior. Sagepaw please step forward." Treestar meowed her tail twitching as she motioned the she-cat forward

Sagepaw looked ready to burst with pride as she walked forward. Mallowtail is dlistened from outside the elder's den whillooking very happy for his daughter while Tansypaw watched from the medicine cat's den his eyes warm.

"I Treestar leader of ThunderClan upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn." Treestar looked down at Sagepaw her green eyes warm. "Sagepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"

Lilykit watched her exhaustion suddenly gone. "I do." Sagepaw said with determination her amber eyes sparkling.

"Then by the powers if StarClan, I give you your warrior name." Treestar went on. "Sagepaw, from this moment, you'll be known as Sageleaf. StarClan honors your loyalty and kindness and we welcome you as a full warrior of ThunderClan."

"Sageleaf! Sageleaf!" All the cats of ThunderClan called out her new name. Mallowtail called her name loudest of all as though calling her name for his fallen mate.

Eagleclaw went to her side and licked in between her ears making Sageleaf purr in delight their tails intertwining. Lilykit growled her fluffy pelt bristling as she saw this. They aren't even trying to hide it from mama!

Lionkit looked at Lilykit ssadly then tensed looking behind her. Lilykit followed his gaze and saw Fallowsong glaring at the two, but she looked heart broken. She ducked into the nursery without a word.

Lilykit bared her little teeth. "We will soon have more apprentices with Silverwing's litter in only two moons and then Fallowsong's in four. We are growing strong, I an proud of you all." Treestar mewed. "The Clan is dismissed. Stormheart will make the evening patrols and Sageleaf will sit guard tonight for her vigil."


"Mama where are we going?" Lilykit asked her paws dragging and her eyes trying to close. Fallowsong was leading her out of camp. "I need to speak to you away from perked ears my kit." She stopped underneath a big tree. "Listen to me. You are to never speak to Eagleclaw. He has betrayed us by being with Sageleaf. You have no father."

Lilykit tilted her head. "What about Stormheart? You're going to make sure he's going to be my mentor right?" She asked. "Of course. He will teach you right without all this StarClan nonsense." Her green eyes darkened. "StarClan let my sibling die and now Eagleclaw left you for another she-cat. They aren't worth anything at all." Lilykit said firmly. "I hate them."

"Good... because they won't help us." Fallowsong narrowed her eyes. "StarClan doesn't exist. Stars are just tiny lights in the sky." Lilykit mewed something in agreement. "Don't let them turn you away from being the best warrior you can be." Fallowsong wrapped her around her little body. "I love you my kit. I want what's best for you."

Lilykit purred and started to fall asleep.StarClan is nothing. Mama knows best...
