Chapter 4

Hey! So I know this was quite late and I will make it up to you by making this chapter longer than the others ^-^ Sparrowkit is a day to 6 moons now. I hope you will enjoy!

Sparrowkit ran around in circles trying to get away from these crazy Starclan cats. "IM NOT GOING" she screamed. But the Starclan cats kept chasing her. "You must go or you will DIE!" One of them screamed.

Sparrowkit started to wail and looked behind her. The cats were still chasing her. She lunged into the crack of a rock, where the other cats to too big to fit though. The sighed with relief. Thank Starclan… I mean thank Goodness that's over.

Sparrowkit sat in the crack for what felt like hours until she decided to poke her head out. When she looked she saw the same Starclan cats. Moonberry was with them. "There she is!" One of them exclaimed, "GET HER!"

At that the cats came running. Sparrowkit quickly ducked back into the crack. She thought she was safe. She was wrong. The cats came pressed against the opening "YOU ARE GOING TO DIE" Hawkeyes yowled. Moonberry had an evil glint in her eyes "You were never meant to be born" She snarled. They started digging until there was space for them to come in. Sparrowkit started to run but Hawkeyes caught her by her tail.

"Where do you think you are going?" Hawkeyes questioned with an almost mocking tone. His claws unsheathed and drew closer to her. Sparrowkit screamed and shut her eyes. They soon flashed open. She was back in the darkness of her den. "What an awful dream!" She exclaimed, still trembling.

Sparrowkit stuck her head out of the den. No cat was awake. She decided to go out so she could see the camp one last time. The moonlight reflected over the sparkling pool where Starclan cats would send dreams and prophecies to the living cats. She had never seen a living cat. Maybe they were extra big and full of feathers? No, most likely not.

The brown kit loomed over the glimmering pool. She would miss seeing the night being sprawled out on the water. It was one of the prettiest things she'd known of. Sparrowkit flinched as she heard a voice behind her. "Awake so late?" The voice said. She spun around and saw Hawkeyes. "Oh I was umm" she began awkwardly, "Just saying goodbye to the place."

Hawkeyes only looked amused. "Oh well, I guess I will let you do that, but make sure to be in the clearing by sunrise." Then he added sternly, "Or we will make you."

Sparrowkit was already frightened from her dream; she didn't want it to come real. The words of her dream kept echoing in her head. You were never meant to be born….

Yes I was, she retorted in her head. Hawkeyes turned and dramatically padded off into the night. Sparrowkit decided to keep going. She started to pad off. Fireflies lit up the night and crickets hummed their songs. Sparrowkit cherished the peaceful nights, and hoped the new world would have them as well.

As she arrived at a large tree, she stopped. "The great tree" She meowed. Sparrowkit would usually climb up into the trees and look down at the other cats. It was very fun to see what they were doing. Once she saw two cats wrestling over who got to use the dirtplace first!

She climbed up onto the bark, and hauled herself onto a branch. Looking down on the forest below, she sighed, knowing she wouldn't see this place in a long time.

As the sun started to shine over the horizon, Sparrowkit instantly woke from her doze. Wow, I fell asleep in a tree, she thought, laughing silently at herself. She leapt off the tree and landing gracefully on her paws. They are probably waiting for me

Hawkeyes and many other cats, bright and pale, stood in the clearing by the glimmering pool. As she walked in, the other cats dipped their heads. Sparrowkit looked around, seeing if she could see Moonberry, but the she was nowhere in sight. Suddenly, Hawkeyes lifted his head and narrowed his eyes. "Go in the pool" He ordered silently.

Sparrowkit obeyed and slid into the pool. The water rose up to her upper leg. "We gather here today to send the young cat, Sparrowkit, to where she belongs," Hawkeyes bellowed, "She will soon be with the cats from below. Several cats yowled and others grunted and some did nothing at all.

"We will begin the ceremony now!" Hollered the wisest cat in Starclan, Thunderstar. All of the cats, old and young, circled slowly around the pool. "To the land you go! To the land you go!" They chanted. Sparrowkit didn't understand what they were doing.

Starclan territory started to fade and Sparrowkit's eyes widened in panic. She saw a familiar cat run into the crowd. "Goodbye Sparrowkit!" Moonberry called, "I will always be with you!"

"Mother?" Sparrowkit cried, but starclan territory was already gone. She felt herself hovering. Sparrowkit looked down and saw the land stretched out underneath her. She started screaming franticly and she started to fall. Four large trees stood in the middle of the land she saw. Four other terrains were around the four trees. One with lots of trees and undergrowth, one with pines, another with rivers, and one just with open moorland. Where will I land? She wondered.

Sparrowkit noticed herself getting closer and closer to the undergrowth terrain. Cats of all sorts walked around. "Those are the real cats!" Sparrowkit thought aloud. The ground got closer and closer, Sparrowkit's paws started flailing wildly.

When she got close to the ground. She saw a large cat on a high rock. Three other cats about her age sat next to him, their eyes gleaming. "Today we are making three new apprentices!" The tom yowled, "I am sure that they will make good apprentices"

Sparrowkit landed hard on the ground, the breath knocked out of her, yet she didn't feel hurt otherwise. Several cats gasped in shock. Thunderstar soon appeared. "Wait!' He rumbled, "You have one more apprentice!"
