Chapter 2 A New Friend
Lightkit left the medicine cat den and saw Doespring walk into the den. A shriek alarmed him and saw two white toms carrying a beated dark brown she-cat, but it wasn't Kinkpaw. This one had black stripes on her body and had blue eyes. Coming into camp behind the two toms was his father Whitestar. Blood was dripping on the poor she-cat's fur and Lightkit started to fear for the worse. He didn't know what happened and so, he approached the two toms.
"Hey what happened to her?" Lightkit asked concerned and worried.
The two toms looked at each other then put down the she-cat gently then looked at Lightkit
"None of your business kit" Snaketooth spat.
Lightkit's eyes turned into a glare of anger.
"It is my business so tell me what happened to her!" Lightkit yowled with fury.
Icetuft stepped forward feeling guilt and sadness however, he hid it from his brother.
"She's being sent to death for stealing Snaketooth's food by the star council" Icetuft explained calmly.
"To death?! Just for stealing prey?" Lightkit thought.
"Well then by the order of the clan leader's son I order you not to kill her" Lightkit said in a playful leader-like tone.
"Ohhh i'm so scared what are you gonna do claw my eye out well too late for you someone beated you too it" Snaketooth mocked
Icetuft and Snaketooth are brothers and look alike however, there's a difference. Icetuft has white fur true, but he has blue eyes. Snaketooth on the other hand has white fur too but has green eyes and a bad scar on his right eye previously from a fox incident.
"Now now Snaketooth, Lightkit's right. We should let her live" Whitestar said.
"WHAT! Are you going to allow your son to boss us around like this" Snaketooth hissed.
"You know the rules Snaketooth "The leader's kit shall be spoiled no matter what" Whitestar growled.
Snaketooth growled but said nothing else and retreated along with Icetuft to the warrior's den.
"Lightkit can you please fetch Doespring from Cloudberry's den? I need to have a word with Flowerpaw. Whitestar asked.
Lightkit nodded and retreated to the medicine cat's den. Whitestar's eyes were narrowed on the she-cat looking terribly hurt but not dead yet.
"Now Flowerpaw you got off lucky but if this happens again then Lightkit won't be able to save you got it." Whitestar growled
The terrified she-cat spranged up and nodded to Whitestar's orders and retreated to the dark-pelt medicine den. Whitestar's thoughts were on Lightkit and the prophecy he thought that the best way Lightkit wouldn't cause harm is that if he was spoiled, but Whitestar begin to think that may not be at all of what he needs.A few days had passed since the incident with Kinkpaw and Flowerpaw and Lightkit was doing nothing but bathing out in the sunlight. He got up to go fetch some fresh kill but as his head turned to see Brightkit and Wolfkit playing with each other, Lightkit bumped into a cat without noticing. He shook his head and saw a dark-pelt kit shaking his head as well. As the black tom saw Lightkit he spranged with alarm and looked at him with fear.
"I-I'm so sorry i didn't mean to bump into you" the black tom said fearfully.
Lightkit came close to him and starting to lick his head for comfort.
"Its fine I should've watched where I was going" Lightkit said apologetically.
"By the way i'm Lightkit what's yours" he asked.
The black tom looked at him with surprise. After a few moments, he looked at Lightkit.
"I-i'm Darkkit." he meowed.
"Well nice to meet you but wait how come i've never seen you before?" Lightkit asked confused.
"W-well I don't really like going out of the nursery." Darkkit explained.
"Why not is it because of the warriors?" Lightkit asked.
"W-well yes and because i'm afraid i'll get killed by them." Darkkit said.
"Well don't worry i'm nothing like the other cats, but hey is it okay if we be friends?" Lightkit asked polity.
Darkkit looked at him with surprise and wasn't sure whether or not to trust him or not but he agreed. It was that point a Friendship was born.
