Chapter 3

Darkkit felt her paws strain when she lifted them up. She tried to sit up, but her legs still wouldn't respond.

'Darkkit? Are you awake?' Lightkit called into her mind.

'Yeah. I would try to turn to talk to you, but...my legs won't work.' Darkkit responded in her thoughts.

'Yeah! Mine either. I just...can't feel them. Like they're broken. But I'm sure Jayfeather can fix us!' Darkkit could tell Lightkit was sad.

'Yeah...Jayfeather will fix us! But we missed our apprentice ceremony…' Darkkit thought sadly.

'Let's think of something else, okay? Like...well, I can't stop thinking about the cat who saved us, and brought us here! Who is she, anyway?'

'I'm not sure...well, okay, I do have a theory. Remember how she said that we have a great destiny ahead of us? Well...don't StarClan cats say that type of stuff?'

'Wow! StarClan...that's so coo-' Lightkits thoughts were cut off from inside of her. She tried to see what was happening, but It hurt too much.

"Hello Darkkit, Lightkit. It's me, Jayfeather." Jayfeather spoke loudly.

'Why Is he talking to us like we're deaf..' Darkkit thought.

"I...I'm so sorry...but…your legs will never work again."

Darkkit froze.

"No...no.,no! It's all my fault...It's all my fault!" Darkkit whispered, "If I hadn't gone to the river...Lightkit would've never followed me and got hurt!"

-A Few Moons Later-

Lightkit felt her heart sink when Jayfeather padded out to the fresh kill pile. Her dreams of becoming a warrior were gone now, just like the usage of her legs.

"Hey, you two...how It going?" Lightningpaw walked into the medicine den.

"Well, knowing that we can never be warriors, or even apprentices is making me wanna scream in joy right now." Darkkit murmured sarcastically.

"I'm sorry…I'll fetch you two some new moss bedding!" Lightningpaw dashed out.

Lightkit felt guilt grasping her, knowing that he should've been on a patrol.

"Hey! Wait u-" Lightkit stopped. She was walking.

"What?" Darkkit screeched. Darkkit slowly stood up, too.

'I don't get It! We were supposed to not be able to walk!' Darkkit screeched into her mind.

'What is going on!?' Lightkit thought.

'When the StarClan cat said that we have a great destiny ahead of us, and we can't afford to lose you now...did StarClan...heal us?' Darkkit replied.

'I...don't...know…'

There was a sudden flow of blood into the medicine den. Darkness grasped Lightkit, trapping her with the blood. Darkkit was standing above her, smiling.

"There will be four,

Thunder and Shadow,

With the power to save,

Or to destroy the stars….."

Lightkit gasped when the darkness no longer had a hold on her. The blood was gone, and the medicine den reappeared. Darkkit was trembling with fear in front of her.

"Was that a…" Darkkit sputtered.

Lightkit choked. "Yes...a prophecy for us"
