-Prologue-
"Spottedfeather, is it your wish to retire to the elder's den, after so many moons of endless commitment to your clan?"
Spottedfeather's voice shook as she replied, "It is." Nightstar bowed her head to the old she-cat.
"Then shall toi live the rest of your days in peace."
Fallenmoon, one of MapleClan's elders, helped guide Spottedfeather to her new nest. Her denmate, Stormcloud, stared wearily at the new elder.
"Welcome,"
he grumbled. Spottedfeather nodded weakly to montrer she had heard.
"She doesn't look well,"
Fallenmoon quieried quietly to Stormcloud after she had watched Spottedfeather fall asleep. Stormcloud flicked his tail. "She's old. A little rest will do her well."
Fallenmoon shifted her paws worriedly.
"We're older then her, yet none of us are jouer la comédie like that."
Stormcloud rolled his eyes.
"You're always like that, fussing over the new ones. Remember when I came in? toi nearly Lost your fourrure over me!"
Fallenmoon ignored him.
"I'll bring her to Turtlepelt if she doesn't get better."
Stormcloud sighed loudly, circling on his nest before lying down.
"Goodnight, Fallenmoon."
"Goodnight, Storm. Please keep your eye on Spottedfeather."
Fallenmoon listened for his reply, but none came. She shook her head.
Maybe she was just worrying.
* * * * * * * * *
"Fallenmoon! Fallenmoon!" Fallenmoon awoke to see Stormcloud leaning over her, his eyes sparkling with fear.
"What...what is it?"
"Spottedfeather! She's not in her nest."
Fallenmoon quickly got to her paws. "She can't be gone...no, no..."
But Stormcloud was right. Spottedfeather's nest was empty. Stormcloud rested his tail on her shoulder.
" Its okay. I'll tell Nightstar and he'll send out a patrol to look for her."
Fallenmoon could only stare blankly at her denmate. It was the middle of leaf-bare. The snow would hide any scent of cat.
Stormcloud gazed at her with sympathy brimming in his eyes before whisking out of the den.
Suddenly, a familier scent lingered in the air.
"Spottedfeather?"
Fallenmoon held her breath as the reply came.
"I am in Starclan now, but beware...the stars shall fall when dusk awakens..."
-Chapter One-
"Got you!"
Bluekit squeaked, pattering her sister, Duskkit, with tiny sheathed paws.
"No, toi didn't!"
Duskkit charged at Bluekit and clawed her belly.
Bluekit shrieked, ducking away from her sister's claws and racing into the nursery.
"Yellowsun! Yellowsun! Duskkit is being mean!"
Their mother, Yellowsun, gazed at Duskkit sternly.
"What have I told toi about bullying Bluekit?"
Duskkit growled.
"She started it... "
"You made it worse. It doesn't matter who started it." Duskkit stared at her paws.
"Sorry, Yellowsun."
Yellowsun narrowed her eyes.
"Not me, Bluekit."
Duskkit hissed. "Fine. Sorry, Bluekit." Bluekit didn't think the apology was sincere, but she accepted it anyway.
"Now go out and play, toi two. Its your last jour as kits; Your apprentice ceremony is tommorow."
Bluekit's eyes widened in excitment.
"It is?"
"Yes."
Bluekit glanced at Duskkit to see if she was just as excited, but her sister just sat with her tail-tip flicking from side to side, her face expressionless.
"All the warriors in this clan are weak,"
she grumbled. Bluekit blinked in surprise, expecting Yellowsun to lash out at her kit, but she only gazed wearily at Duskkit.
"Don't let the warriors hear toi say that,"
she warned. Duskkit scowled.
"Like they would care. I wish I lived in a different clan! Like the one from the nursery tales: Shadowclan!"
Both Yellowsun and Bluekit gasped. "Sh-Shadowclan?"
Duskkit smirked. "Yep!"
Yellowsun gave Duskkit a worried, fearful look.
"Go outside to play. I'll call toi when toi can come back in."
Bluekit raced out of the nursery, Duskkit hard on her heels.
"Whats so bad about Shadowclan?"
Duskkit mewed when they had stopped. Bluekit hissed at her sister.
"Where has your loyalty gone?!"
Duskkit growled.
"Nowhere!"
"It must have gone somewhere, calling Mapleclan warriors weak and siding with the worst clan of them all!"
Duskkit scoffed.
"Yeah, well, its true. I don't want a weak mentor."
Enough was enough. Bluekit leapt at Duskkit, claws unsheathed.
Duskkit darted out of the way quickly, and Bluekit, missing her target, slid across the leaf-strewn ground.
"Ha! toi proved me right! Mapleclan is weaker then weak!"
Duskkit stuck out her tounge. Bluekit leapt to her paws and lunged at her sister.
"I hate you! You're plus mouse-brained than I thought!"
Suddenly, Yellowsun bounded out of the nursery, watching as Bluekit bit and scratched Duskkit.
"Bluekit! Stop!!"
Bluekit jumped off Duskkit, her fourrure hot with guilt.
"Sorry, Duskkit."
Duskkit rose to her paws, fourrure matted and torn. Yellowsun glared at her kits.
"Go to your nests at once!"
Bluekit and Duskkit sulked back to their nest, Yellowsun following.
Bluekit lay in the nursery, listening to the soft breathing of Ravenkit and Riverstream.
Duskkit curled up beside her, growling softly in her ear.
"Duskkit, stop growling!"
She whined. Duskkit scowled.
"Why should I?"
"Just please stop!"
Bluekit squeezed her eyes shut, trying to block out the sound. Duskkit kept at it. Finally, Yellowsun lifted her head warily.
"Duskkit, stop growling in Bluekit's ear."
Duskkit rolled her eyes.
"Fine."
Bluekit gave a relieved sigh, closing her eyes and drifting into sleep. Bluekit awoke to see watery sunlight filtering through cracks in the nursery.
"Bluekit! Bluekit!"
Ravenkit was pawing at her shoulder. Bluekit lifted her head.
"Yes, Ravenkit?"
Ravenkit gave a bouce of excitment, his bright blue eyes flashing excitedly.
"All of us are going to be made apprentices today!" Bluekit suddenly remembered.
"I know! I hope I get the most brilliant mentor ever!"
Ravenkit nodded in agreement.
"I'm hoping I get Leafmoon. All the other apprentices say she's not strict at all!"
Bluekit purred.
"She might start with you."
Ravenkit pretended to look hurt.
"Aw, Bluekit, don't be so mean!"
Bluekit laughed.
"I want Dappleheart as a mentor because she's clan deputy!" Ravenkit rolled onto his back.
"Like you'll ever get her!"
Suddenly, Yellowsun yawned. "Bluekit, what are toi doing up?"
Bluekit bounced on her paws.
"Its our apprentice ceremony today!" Yellowsun's eyes widened.
"I've got to get toi cleaned up!"
She prodded Duskkit awake, who rose groggily to her paws.
"Oh, yeah, the apprentice ceremony."
Bluekit thought she looked bored out of her mind. Yellowsun quickly finished grooming Bluekit and went on to clean up Duskkit.
After a little while she stood back to admire her kits.
"You both look beautiful!"
Ravenkit bounded over to Bluekit happily, looking freshly groomed.
"Look! chats are gathering outside!"
Bluekit turned to look outside the nursery. There was so many cats!
A small knot of worry built up inside of her. What if she is unable to become an apprentice? What if she loses her voice when Lynxstar's talking to her?
"Let all chats old enough to run gather here beneath the High Branch!"
Bluekit, Duskkit, and Ravenkit bounded vers l'avant, vers l’avant to stand par the giant érable Tree.
"Ravenkit, Duskkit, and Bluekit, come forward."
Lynxstar's yellow eyes shone, and his white and black striped pelt shone under the greenleaf sun.
"You have been kits for 6 moons now, and are ready to learn the ways of a Mapleclan apprentice. Ravenkit, are toi ready to learn the ways of Mapleclan?"
Ravenkit trembled with excitment as he replied,
"I am."
Lynxstar lifted his head.
"Then par the powers of Starclan, I name toi Ravenpaw until toi become a warrior. Whitelily will be your mentor."
Ravenpaw showed no dissapointment as he padded over to Whitelily and rested his muzzle on her head.
"Bluekit and Duskkit, are toi ready to learn the ways of Mapleclan?" Bluekit and Duskkit replied in unison, "I am."
"Then toi shall be Bluepaw and Duskpaw until toi earn your warrior names. Bluepaw, Robinflash shall be your mentor, and Snowtuft will be Duskpaw's."
Bluepaw rested her muzzle on Robinflash's head.
"Ravenpaw! Bluepaw! Duskpaw!"
As her clanmates called their names, Bluepaw felt strangely uneasy. The medicine cat, Windflight, was calling all their names except Duskpaw's.
Why would he not call hers?
~To be continued.~
DUSKPAW
Duskpaw cringed as the clan called her name. She didn't want to be noticed. She wanted to be an apprentice in Shadowclan, not in stupid Mapleclan!
Lynxstar's gaze swept over the new apprentices. Something was off as he stared at her, though. What was wrong with her? She had seen the way Windflight looked at her, how hatred had flashed in his eyes. "Duskpaw?"
Duskpaw shook herself back to reality to see Snowtuft looking at her, as if he had asked her a question. Duskpaw blinked.
"I'm sorry, what was that?"
Snowtuft sighed.
"I was asking what toi wanted to do first."
Duskpaw gazed out into the forest. "Can we explore the territory?" Snowtuft nodded.
"Stay with me, though, in case we encounter some trouble."
Duskpaw bit back a sharp reply. Stupid Snowtuft, thinking he knows everything!
Bluepaw and Robinflash padded in behind Duskpaw and Snowtuft.
"Hi,"
Bluepaw mewed when she caught Duskpaw's gaze.
"Hi,"
Duskpaw mewed.
Ravenpaw padded up beside Bluepaw, his bright blue gaze sparkling.
"This is so exciting!"
Duskpaw wished she could block out their conversation. She would never admit it, but she had a huge crush on Ravenpaw.
He would never know, though, because he never spoke to her. Snowtuft suddenly steered Duskpaw away from the others.
"Wha-?"
Duskpaw's paws were knocked out from under her and she slid down a huge, rocky hill.
"Snowtuft!"
She squeaked, trying to cling onto the grass. Snowtuft watched her from the haut, retour au début of the hill, eyes narrowed with hatred.
"You should never have been born."
Duskpaw clung even harder to the hill.
"What do toi mean?"
Her voice trembled. Snowtuft narrowed his eyes, and recited the long-ago told prophecy.
"The stars shall fall when dusk awakens..."
Duskpaw's attempts to hold onto the colline were growing weaker, and she felt herself sliding down.
"I hate Mapleclan! I hate it! I knew no one ever liked me!"
Suddenly, a screech sounded above the hill. Ravenpaw coming to save her...? No.
Yellowsun was staring down in horror at her struggling kit. Snowtuft spoke,
"She fell down. I tried to save her, but the colline was too steep..."
Liar. Duskpaw let out a terrified yowl as her paws slipped.
"No!"
Yellowsun screeched, bounding down the hill. Duskpaw felt herself falling, falling to her death.
* * * * * *
Duskpaw awoke to see the stars shining down on her. Like old, dead leaves, the stars meant nothing anymore. Starclan had abandoned her. She looked around for the colline she had fallen from. It was a far distance away, indicating that she had rolled quite a bit. The only injuries that she had were a few scratches. Duskpaw licked them, thankful for something to do other than stare at the hill.
Once she finished, Duskpaw decided the best thing to do would be to start walking back. So she rose to her paws, legs shaky, and began walking. After a little while she came to the hill. It was very steep, with jagged rocks pointing out at odd angles. Duskpaw wondered why it was even called a hill. plus like a cliff...She skirted around the colline and instead padded up a smaller colline surrounded par érable trees.
Why am I even returning to this clan? She wondered, beggining to bristle. They all hate me, which is obvious because Snowtuft tried to kill me! Duskpaw lashed her tail, furious for thinking this was a sûr, sans danger place to return to. Mapleclan was a horrible clan! She should never have tried to come back.
YELLOWSUN
"My kit, my precious kit..."
The world spun around Yellowsun. Snowtuft had told her that Duskpaw had fallen into the hole. But she knew that wasn't true. How could it be? No one ever trusted Snowtuft. One jour he would be in the Place Of No Stars. Grief flashed in Yellowsun's eyes as she saw Bluepaw return happily with Robinflash, mice dangling from both their jaws. Bluepaw bounded over to Yellowsun excitedly.
"Yellowsun! Robinflash taught me how to catch mice and I caught the fattest one ever!"
Yellowsun just stared at her kit with dull eyes. Bluepaw tilted her head to one side.
"What's wrong?"
Yellowsun rested her tail on Bluepaw's shoulder.
"Duskpaw is dead. She fell down the rock colline at the edge of our territory."
Bluepaw let out a wail of grief.
"She can't be! No!"
"I'm sorry, Bluepaw."
Grief threatened to overwhelm her as she saw Bluepaw race out of the clearing.
"My precious kit..."
Yellowsun dragged herself to her nest in the warrior's den, stumbling around other cats. Maybe I can dream this all away...she felt her eyes close as she drifted into a long, uncomfortable sleep.
DUSKPAW
Duskpaw padded nearer to the camp. She still didn't want to go back, but she was curious on how they reacted when she went missing. Maybe the clan missed her. Maybe Ravenpaw asked about her... As she neared the camp, Duskpaw began to hear voices.
"I hope Duskpaw never comes back,"
mewed Shadowpaw, one of the older apprentices.
"Yeah, did toi know there was a prophecy about how bad she was?"
That was Jayflight. Suddenly, Ravenpaw's voice sounded.
"She'll destroy Starclan! Evil fox-heart."
Duskpaw felt hurt well up inside of her. She wasn't mean! Her denmates were mean. The whole Mapleclan was mean! She felt a lump rise in her throat. Why did everyone hate her?
BLUEPAW
Bluepaw had been outside for a while, searching for her Lost sister. Suddenly she paused.
"Bluepaw."
Bluepaw's eyes widened.
That was Duskpaw's voice! "Duskpaw?"
Duskpaw bounded over to Bluepaw, her eyes wide.
"The whole clan hates me!"
She wailed.
Bluepaw rested her tail on Duskpaw's shoulders, steering her away from the camp walls. Normally Duskpaw was mean to her, so this was a rare moment.
"I don't hate you, and neither does Yellowsun."
Duskpaw's voice was hoarse with sadness as she replied, "Ravenpaw does." Bluepaw couldn't find any words to reply. Ravenpaw had told her he thought Duskpaw was mean and annoying. "Maybe toi should stop being so rude,"
she mewed.
Duskpaw jerked away from Bluepaw.
"How dare you! I'm nicer than the rest of stupid Mapleclan."
Bluepaw opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out.
Duskpaw sighed.
"I'm sorry, Bluepaw. I shouldn't take it out on you."
She gazed at her sister.
"Did toi know there was a prophecy about me?"
Bluepaw shook her head, startled. Duskpaw sat down, curling her tail around her paws.
"Snowtuft recited it to me before I fell. 'The stars shall fall when Dusk awakens.' Do toi know what that means?"
Bluepaw thought for a moment.
"Well, I'm guessing Dusk is you..."
Duskpaw blinked.
"Yeah, maybe. I think the stars falling means Starclan getting destroyed, and Dusk awakening is me being born!"
Bluepaw gave a startled gasp.
"So...that means...YOU are going to destroy STARCLAN!!"
Duskpaw blinked.
"Yes, I believe so."
Bluepaw narrowed her eyes.
"Come with me."
DUSKPAW
"Where are we going?"
She asked mildly. Bluepaw turned to look back at Duskpaw, her eyes narrowed. "Just follow me."
Duskpaw lashed her tail. Bluepaw could at least tell her where she was taking her!
For all she knew, Bluepaw could be sending her to Starclan!
"Okay,"
Bluepaw mewed, stopping at the edge of the territory.
"What?"
Duskpaw stared out at the bleak landscape, wondering what Bluepaw expected her to do.
"Duskpaw, do toi want to run away and leave the prophecy behind?" Duskpaw stared at her in surprise. "Well, I...I don't know...leave toi and Yellowsun? I don't think so." Bluepaw scraped the ground with her claws.
"Bad things might happen if toi stay,"
she warned. Duskpaw scowled.
"I can stand up to myself, thanks. I think I'll be okay."
Bluepaw sighed, turning away.
"Alright, come with me."
Duskpaw couldn't help but notice the flash of fear in Bluepaw's eyes.
BLUEPAW
Bluepaw glanced up at the sky. Surely Starclan wanted Duskpaw to have left? ou did they want her to live the prophecy she was destined to live?
Bluepaw saw the clearing through the trees. She heard the murmuring and muttering of her clanmates-talking about Duskpaw, most likely.
Behind her, Duskpaw stopped walking. Bluepaw glanced at her sister.
"Stop being so anxious. Nothing will happen if toi don't make it happen."
Duskpaw hissed.
"I know! It just, Snowtuft tried to kill me, and he must have gained followers."
Bluepaw sighed. That was true.
"Lets just go back and make a good impression,"
she decided. Duskpaw nodded.
"Okay."
So the two apprentices padded over to the very edge of the clearing and peered in. Snowtuft was talking with Orangeleaf and Moonpelt.
Moonpelt was nodding, her light gray eyes narrowed. Orangeleaf looked worried, peering at the nursery and elder's den. Bluepaw stood up, shaking her fourrure out. "Duskpaw, come on. We're going in now."
Duskpaw got up, looking furious.
"Mangy flea-pelts!"
Bluepaw blinked.
"What did toi hear?"
Duskpaw lashed her tail.
"They a dit that I would kill all the kits in the nursery if I had my way!"
Bluepaw felt horror rise on her throat. Who told everyone about the prophecy?
Then it hit her. Snowtuft...Bluepaw began padding back to her clan, nudging her sister along.
"Duskpaw, lets get toi back to camp,"
she mewed.
Duskpaw blinked in misery.
"They all hate me though!"
Bluepaw softened her tone.
"You can explain what happaned, and assure them that the prophecy will never happen."
Duskpaw snorted.
"It might if they continue on like this."
Bluepaw gave a startled gasp.
"Are toi serious?!"
Duskpaw scowled.
"Of course not."
Bluepaw sighed. "Please come with me."
Duskpaw hissed.
"Whatever. Just don't expect me to be happy about it."
Bluepaw sighed inwardly.
"Okay, follow me..."
She led the way back to MapleClan, hopping over a small arbre that had fallen.
The chardon barrier was in view now, and Bluepaw excitedly bounded over to it. Yellowsun was waiting par the entrance.
"My dear kit! She's alive!" Her eyes were full happiness and joy.
Yellowsun leaped onto Duskpaw, covering her in licks. Duskpaw scrambled away from her mother. "Stop it!"
Yellowsun looked up, surprised.
"What?"
"Stop treating me like I belong here, because I don't! I hate MapleClan!"
YELLOWSUN
Yellowsun's eyes widened in surprise. Her kit somehow lived, came back, and burst out that she hates her clan!
"You don't really mean that,"
she insisted. Duskpaw dug her claws into the ground, fury lighting her eyes.
"Everybody hates me here. They want me to leave."
Yellowsun rested her tail on Duskpaw's shoulder.
"Thats not tru-"
A loud screech interuppted Yellowsun.
"Why is that cat back here?! Get it out! I never want to see that again!!"
Yellowsun saw Windflight, the Mapleclan medicine cat, standing at the opposite side of the clearing.
His dull orange fourrure was ragged and ungroomed. His eyes were wild. Yellowsun took a step back.
"Wha...?"
"He means me."
Duskpaw held her ground, claws unsheathed.
"What do toi want?"
She snarled.
"I've done nothing to deserve this hatred!"
Windflight lashed his tail.
"You are the cat in the prophecy, the cat that is to destroy Starclan!" Duskpaw snorted.
"And how could I do that? chats can't fly, mouse-brain!"
Windflight padded over to Duskpaw until the were nose to nose.
"Just get out of this clan, okay? I never want to see toi again."
DUSKPAW
Duskpaw couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"W-wha...?"
Yellowsun and Bluepaw looked equally surprised.
"You can't do that! Only Lynxstar can exile!"
Bluepaw was screeching as loud as she could to Windflight, but he ignored her. His eyes danced wildly in his head, and drool hung from his jaw.
A crowd was beggining to form around the four cats.
"What is going on?"
Dappleheart screeched. Yellowsun spun to face the deputy.
"Windflight thinks he can exile my kit!"
Dappleheart opened her mouth in ashtonishment.
"You can't do that, Windflight!" Windflight sneered.
"Watch me."
Beside Dappleheart, Shadowpaw and Rosepaw were trying to squeeze through.
"Let us through!"
Shadowpaw hissed. Duskpaw stared at them hopefully. Maybe they would be on her side...?
Then she remembered when they were gossiping about her. They hate me to...
Once through, Shadowpaw and Rosepaw marched to the middle of the crowd.
"We think Duskpaw should leave Mapleclan!"
Shocked gasps spread through the crowd.
"What a thing to say!"
Spat Briarsong, an elder. Whitelily and Ambermoon looked worried.
Shadowpaw held his head up.
"Duskpaw is supposed to destroy Starclan! How can we possibly trust such a cat?"
Rosepaw piped up,
"Yeah, even if she says she won't we know she will!"
Duskpaw felt horror rise in her throat. They were convincing the clan she was evil!
A loud snarl interuppted the voices. "Enough!"
Duskpaw turned to see Lynxstar standing on the High Branch, looking down at his clan disgustedly.
"So this is how we treat our apprentices now?"
He hissed. His eyes blazed with fury.
"What sort of clan is this?!"
Moonfall, a light-furred tom with a gray moon-shape on his side, stepped forward.
"Shadowpaw and Rosepaw believe they can exile anyone they dislike. Windflight agrees with them."
Lynxstar glared down at the three cats.
"What reason do toi have to do this to Duskpaw?"
Shadowpaw and Rosepaw looked indignent.
"There was a prophecy that she would destroy Starcan!"
Lynxstar snorted, turning to Windflight.
"I suppose that's your reason as well?"
Windflight nodded, his eyes less crazy.
"It is."
Lynxstar narrowed his eyes at the old medicine cat.
"Has Duskpaw done anything out of the ordinary to confirmer this prophecy?"
Windflight shook his head.
"Then this meeting is over. Duskpaw shall not be exiled!"
Duskpaw watched as the group of chats around her broke up. Shadowpaw and Rosepaw were the last ones to leave. But just before the left Duskpaw heard Shadowpaw mutter in Rosepaw's ear:
"I bet she'll pull off a little trick before nightfall. Then we'll get her exiled!"
Duskpaw felt fury bubble up inside of her, blocking out all her senses. Those little foxhearts! Bluepaw, beside her, rested her tail on Duskpaw's shoulder.
"I heard them to. Don't attack ou you'll be helping them out."
But Duskpaw couldn't hold back her anger any longer. Who cares if she got exiled! Nobody liked her anyway.
Duskpaw lunged at Shadowpaw, claws unsheathed.
"Why don't toi say that to my face, toi little foxheart?!"
Shadowpaw turned, his eyes wide with surprise. Rosepaw dived in front of her brother, taking the blow and rolling over onto the ground.
Duskpaw felt panicked. She hadn't had any training yet, and these apprentices were a moon older than herself.
"You fight like a kit!"
Rosepaw yowled. Duskpaw screeched as Shadowpaw dived on haut, retour au début of her and bit hard into her scruff.
"Lets see toi fight like a warrior,"
Rosepaw hissed. Duskpaw pushed herself up with her forepaws, knocking Shadowpaw off, then swung around to lash out at Rosepaw. Rosepaw yowled as Duskpaw's claws connected with her nose. Suddenly, Duskpaw was dragged back par the scruff. The
voice that spoke was ominously low.
"What are toi doing?"
Duskpaw stared at her paws gloomily. Lynxstar had caught her.
"Shadowpaw and Rosepaw started it,"
She grumbled. Lynxstar hissed, making Duskpaw flinch.
"I don't care who started it!"
Duskpaw shrunk lower to the ground.
"Are toi going to exile me?"
Beside her, she felt Bluepaw and Yellowsun tense. Lynxstar didn't reply.

-Prologue-
"Spottedfeather, is it your wish to retire to the elder's den, after so many moons of endless commitment to your clan?"
Spottedfeather's voice shook as she replied, "It is." Nightstar bowed her head to the old she-cat.
"Then shall toi live the rest of your days in peace."
Fallenmoon, one of MapleClan's elders, helped guide Spottedfeather to her new nest. Her denmate, Stormcloud, stared wearily at the new elder.
"Welcome,"
he grumbled. Spottedfeather nodded weakly to montrer she had heard.
"She doesn't look well,"
Fallenmoon quieried quietly to Stormcloud after she had watched Spottedfeather fall asleep. Stormcloud flicked his tail. "She's old. A little rest will do her well."
Fallenmoon shifted her paws worriedly.
"We're older then her, yet none of us are jouer la comédie like that."
Stormcloud rolled his eyes.
"You're always like that, fussing over the new ones. Remember when I came in? toi nearly Lost your fourrure over me!"
Fallenmoon ignored him.
"I'll bring her to Turtlepelt if she doesn't get better."
Stormcloud sighed loudly, circling on his nest before lying down.
"Goodnight, Fallenmoon."
"Goodnight, Storm. Please keep your eye on Spottedfeather."
Fallenmoon listened for his reply, but none came. She shook her head.
Maybe she was just worrying.
* * * * * * * * *
"Fallenmoon! Fallenmoon!" Fallenmoon awoke to see Stormcloud leaning over her, his eyes sparkling with fear.
"What...what is it?"
"Spottedfeather! She's not in her nest."
Fallenmoon quickly got to her paws. "She can't be gone...no, no..."
But Stormcloud was right. Spottedfeather's nest was empty. Stormcloud rested his tail on her shoulder.
" Its okay. I'll tell Nightstar and he'll send out a patrol to look for her."
Fallenmoon could only stare blankly at her denmate. It was the middle of leaf-bare. The snow would hide any scent of cat.
Stormcloud gazed at her with sympathy brimming in his eyes before whisking out of the den.
Suddenly, a familier scent lingered in the air.
"Spottedfeather?"
Fallenmoon held her breath as the reply came.
"I am in Starclan now, but beware...the stars shall fall when dusk awakens..."
-Chapter One-
"Got you!"
Bluekit squeaked, pattering her sister, Duskkit, with tiny sheathed paws.
"No, toi didn't!"
Duskkit charged at Bluekit and clawed her belly.
Bluekit shrieked, ducking away from her sister's claws and racing into the nursery.
"Yellowsun! Yellowsun! Duskkit is being mean!"
Their mother, Yellowsun, gazed at Duskkit sternly.
"What have I told toi about bullying Bluekit?"
Duskkit growled.
"She started it... "
"You made it worse. It doesn't matter who started it." Duskkit stared at her paws.
"Sorry, Yellowsun."
Yellowsun narrowed her eyes.
"Not me, Bluekit."
Duskkit hissed. "Fine. Sorry, Bluekit." Bluekit didn't think the apology was sincere, but she accepted it anyway.
"Now go out and play, toi two. Its your last jour as kits; Your apprentice ceremony is tommorow."
Bluekit's eyes widened in excitment.
"It is?"
"Yes."
Bluekit glanced at Duskkit to see if she was just as excited, but her sister just sat with her tail-tip flicking from side to side, her face expressionless.
"All the warriors in this clan are weak,"
she grumbled. Bluekit blinked in surprise, expecting Yellowsun to lash out at her kit, but she only gazed wearily at Duskkit.
"Don't let the warriors hear toi say that,"
she warned. Duskkit scowled.
"Like they would care. I wish I lived in a different clan! Like the one from the nursery tales: Shadowclan!"
Both Yellowsun and Bluekit gasped. "Sh-Shadowclan?"
Duskkit smirked. "Yep!"
Yellowsun gave Duskkit a worried, fearful look.
"Go outside to play. I'll call toi when toi can come back in."
Bluekit raced out of the nursery, Duskkit hard on her heels.
"Whats so bad about Shadowclan?"
Duskkit mewed when they had stopped. Bluekit hissed at her sister.
"Where has your loyalty gone?!"
Duskkit growled.
"Nowhere!"
"It must have gone somewhere, calling Mapleclan warriors weak and siding with the worst clan of them all!"
Duskkit scoffed.
"Yeah, well, its true. I don't want a weak mentor."
Enough was enough. Bluekit leapt at Duskkit, claws unsheathed.
Duskkit darted out of the way quickly, and Bluekit, missing her target, slid across the leaf-strewn ground.
"Ha! toi proved me right! Mapleclan is weaker then weak!"
Duskkit stuck out her tounge. Bluekit leapt to her paws and lunged at her sister.
"I hate you! You're plus mouse-brained than I thought!"
Suddenly, Yellowsun bounded out of the nursery, watching as Bluekit bit and scratched Duskkit.
"Bluekit! Stop!!"
Bluekit jumped off Duskkit, her fourrure hot with guilt.
"Sorry, Duskkit."
Duskkit rose to her paws, fourrure matted and torn. Yellowsun glared at her kits.
"Go to your nests at once!"
Bluekit and Duskkit sulked back to their nest, Yellowsun following.
Bluekit lay in the nursery, listening to the soft breathing of Ravenkit and Riverstream.
Duskkit curled up beside her, growling softly in her ear.
"Duskkit, stop growling!"
She whined. Duskkit scowled.
"Why should I?"
"Just please stop!"
Bluekit squeezed her eyes shut, trying to block out the sound. Duskkit kept at it. Finally, Yellowsun lifted her head warily.
"Duskkit, stop growling in Bluekit's ear."
Duskkit rolled her eyes.
"Fine."
Bluekit gave a relieved sigh, closing her eyes and drifting into sleep. Bluekit awoke to see watery sunlight filtering through cracks in the nursery.
"Bluekit! Bluekit!"
Ravenkit was pawing at her shoulder. Bluekit lifted her head.
"Yes, Ravenkit?"
Ravenkit gave a bouce of excitment, his bright blue eyes flashing excitedly.
"All of us are going to be made apprentices today!" Bluekit suddenly remembered.
"I know! I hope I get the most brilliant mentor ever!"
Ravenkit nodded in agreement.
"I'm hoping I get Leafmoon. All the other apprentices say she's not strict at all!"
Bluekit purred.
"She might start with you."
Ravenkit pretended to look hurt.
"Aw, Bluekit, don't be so mean!"
Bluekit laughed.
"I want Dappleheart as a mentor because she's clan deputy!" Ravenkit rolled onto his back.
"Like you'll ever get her!"
Suddenly, Yellowsun yawned. "Bluekit, what are toi doing up?"
Bluekit bounced on her paws.
"Its our apprentice ceremony today!" Yellowsun's eyes widened.
"I've got to get toi cleaned up!"
She prodded Duskkit awake, who rose groggily to her paws.
"Oh, yeah, the apprentice ceremony."
Bluekit thought she looked bored out of her mind. Yellowsun quickly finished grooming Bluekit and went on to clean up Duskkit.
After a little while she stood back to admire her kits.
"You both look beautiful!"
Ravenkit bounded over to Bluekit happily, looking freshly groomed.
"Look! chats are gathering outside!"
Bluekit turned to look outside the nursery. There was so many cats!
A small knot of worry built up inside of her. What if she is unable to become an apprentice? What if she loses her voice when Lynxstar's talking to her?
"Let all chats old enough to run gather here beneath the High Branch!"
Bluekit, Duskkit, and Ravenkit bounded vers l'avant, vers l’avant to stand par the giant érable Tree.
"Ravenkit, Duskkit, and Bluekit, come forward."
Lynxstar's yellow eyes shone, and his white and black striped pelt shone under the greenleaf sun.
"You have been kits for 6 moons now, and are ready to learn the ways of a Mapleclan apprentice. Ravenkit, are toi ready to learn the ways of Mapleclan?"
Ravenkit trembled with excitment as he replied,
"I am."
Lynxstar lifted his head.
"Then par the powers of Starclan, I name toi Ravenpaw until toi become a warrior. Whitelily will be your mentor."
Ravenpaw showed no dissapointment as he padded over to Whitelily and rested his muzzle on her head.
"Bluekit and Duskkit, are toi ready to learn the ways of Mapleclan?" Bluekit and Duskkit replied in unison, "I am."
"Then toi shall be Bluepaw and Duskpaw until toi earn your warrior names. Bluepaw, Robinflash shall be your mentor, and Snowtuft will be Duskpaw's."
Bluepaw rested her muzzle on Robinflash's head.
"Ravenpaw! Bluepaw! Duskpaw!"
As her clanmates called their names, Bluepaw felt strangely uneasy. The medicine cat, Windflight, was calling all their names except Duskpaw's.
Why would he not call hers?
~To be continued.~
DUSKPAW
Duskpaw cringed as the clan called her name. She didn't want to be noticed. She wanted to be an apprentice in Shadowclan, not in stupid Mapleclan!
Lynxstar's gaze swept over the new apprentices. Something was off as he stared at her, though. What was wrong with her? She had seen the way Windflight looked at her, how hatred had flashed in his eyes. "Duskpaw?"
Duskpaw shook herself back to reality to see Snowtuft looking at her, as if he had asked her a question. Duskpaw blinked.
"I'm sorry, what was that?"
Snowtuft sighed.
"I was asking what toi wanted to do first."
Duskpaw gazed out into the forest. "Can we explore the territory?" Snowtuft nodded.
"Stay with me, though, in case we encounter some trouble."
Duskpaw bit back a sharp reply. Stupid Snowtuft, thinking he knows everything!
Bluepaw and Robinflash padded in behind Duskpaw and Snowtuft.
"Hi,"
Bluepaw mewed when she caught Duskpaw's gaze.
"Hi,"
Duskpaw mewed.
Ravenpaw padded up beside Bluepaw, his bright blue gaze sparkling.
"This is so exciting!"
Duskpaw wished she could block out their conversation. She would never admit it, but she had a huge crush on Ravenpaw.
He would never know, though, because he never spoke to her. Snowtuft suddenly steered Duskpaw away from the others.
"Wha-?"
Duskpaw's paws were knocked out from under her and she slid down a huge, rocky hill.
"Snowtuft!"
She squeaked, trying to cling onto the grass. Snowtuft watched her from the haut, retour au début of the hill, eyes narrowed with hatred.
"You should never have been born."
Duskpaw clung even harder to the hill.
"What do toi mean?"
Her voice trembled. Snowtuft narrowed his eyes, and recited the long-ago told prophecy.
"The stars shall fall when dusk awakens..."
Duskpaw's attempts to hold onto the colline were growing weaker, and she felt herself sliding down.
"I hate Mapleclan! I hate it! I knew no one ever liked me!"
Suddenly, a screech sounded above the hill. Ravenpaw coming to save her...? No.
Yellowsun was staring down in horror at her struggling kit. Snowtuft spoke,
"She fell down. I tried to save her, but the colline was too steep..."
Liar. Duskpaw let out a terrified yowl as her paws slipped.
"No!"
Yellowsun screeched, bounding down the hill. Duskpaw felt herself falling, falling to her death.
* * * * * *
Duskpaw awoke to see the stars shining down on her. Like old, dead leaves, the stars meant nothing anymore. Starclan had abandoned her. She looked around for the colline she had fallen from. It was a far distance away, indicating that she had rolled quite a bit. The only injuries that she had were a few scratches. Duskpaw licked them, thankful for something to do other than stare at the hill.
Once she finished, Duskpaw decided the best thing to do would be to start walking back. So she rose to her paws, legs shaky, and began walking. After a little while she came to the hill. It was very steep, with jagged rocks pointing out at odd angles. Duskpaw wondered why it was even called a hill. plus like a cliff...She skirted around the colline and instead padded up a smaller colline surrounded par érable trees.
Why am I even returning to this clan? She wondered, beggining to bristle. They all hate me, which is obvious because Snowtuft tried to kill me! Duskpaw lashed her tail, furious for thinking this was a sûr, sans danger place to return to. Mapleclan was a horrible clan! She should never have tried to come back.
YELLOWSUN
"My kit, my precious kit..."
The world spun around Yellowsun. Snowtuft had told her that Duskpaw had fallen into the hole. But she knew that wasn't true. How could it be? No one ever trusted Snowtuft. One jour he would be in the Place Of No Stars. Grief flashed in Yellowsun's eyes as she saw Bluepaw return happily with Robinflash, mice dangling from both their jaws. Bluepaw bounded over to Yellowsun excitedly.
"Yellowsun! Robinflash taught me how to catch mice and I caught the fattest one ever!"
Yellowsun just stared at her kit with dull eyes. Bluepaw tilted her head to one side.
"What's wrong?"
Yellowsun rested her tail on Bluepaw's shoulder.
"Duskpaw is dead. She fell down the rock colline at the edge of our territory."
Bluepaw let out a wail of grief.
"She can't be! No!"
"I'm sorry, Bluepaw."
Grief threatened to overwhelm her as she saw Bluepaw race out of the clearing.
"My precious kit..."
Yellowsun dragged herself to her nest in the warrior's den, stumbling around other cats. Maybe I can dream this all away...she felt her eyes close as she drifted into a long, uncomfortable sleep.
DUSKPAW
Duskpaw padded nearer to the camp. She still didn't want to go back, but she was curious on how they reacted when she went missing. Maybe the clan missed her. Maybe Ravenpaw asked about her... As she neared the camp, Duskpaw began to hear voices.
"I hope Duskpaw never comes back,"
mewed Shadowpaw, one of the older apprentices.
"Yeah, did toi know there was a prophecy about how bad she was?"
That was Jayflight. Suddenly, Ravenpaw's voice sounded.
"She'll destroy Starclan! Evil fox-heart."
Duskpaw felt hurt well up inside of her. She wasn't mean! Her denmates were mean. The whole Mapleclan was mean! She felt a lump rise in her throat. Why did everyone hate her?
BLUEPAW
Bluepaw had been outside for a while, searching for her Lost sister. Suddenly she paused.
"Bluepaw."
Bluepaw's eyes widened.
That was Duskpaw's voice! "Duskpaw?"
Duskpaw bounded over to Bluepaw, her eyes wide.
"The whole clan hates me!"
She wailed.
Bluepaw rested her tail on Duskpaw's shoulders, steering her away from the camp walls. Normally Duskpaw was mean to her, so this was a rare moment.
"I don't hate you, and neither does Yellowsun."
Duskpaw's voice was hoarse with sadness as she replied, "Ravenpaw does." Bluepaw couldn't find any words to reply. Ravenpaw had told her he thought Duskpaw was mean and annoying. "Maybe toi should stop being so rude,"
she mewed.
Duskpaw jerked away from Bluepaw.
"How dare you! I'm nicer than the rest of stupid Mapleclan."
Bluepaw opened her mouth to reply, but nothing came out.
Duskpaw sighed.
"I'm sorry, Bluepaw. I shouldn't take it out on you."
She gazed at her sister.
"Did toi know there was a prophecy about me?"
Bluepaw shook her head, startled. Duskpaw sat down, curling her tail around her paws.
"Snowtuft recited it to me before I fell. 'The stars shall fall when Dusk awakens.' Do toi know what that means?"
Bluepaw thought for a moment.
"Well, I'm guessing Dusk is you..."
Duskpaw blinked.
"Yeah, maybe. I think the stars falling means Starclan getting destroyed, and Dusk awakening is me being born!"
Bluepaw gave a startled gasp.
"So...that means...YOU are going to destroy STARCLAN!!"
Duskpaw blinked.
"Yes, I believe so."
Bluepaw narrowed her eyes.
"Come with me."
DUSKPAW
"Where are we going?"
She asked mildly. Bluepaw turned to look back at Duskpaw, her eyes narrowed. "Just follow me."
Duskpaw lashed her tail. Bluepaw could at least tell her where she was taking her!
For all she knew, Bluepaw could be sending her to Starclan!
"Okay,"
Bluepaw mewed, stopping at the edge of the territory.
"What?"
Duskpaw stared out at the bleak landscape, wondering what Bluepaw expected her to do.
"Duskpaw, do toi want to run away and leave the prophecy behind?" Duskpaw stared at her in surprise. "Well, I...I don't know...leave toi and Yellowsun? I don't think so." Bluepaw scraped the ground with her claws.
"Bad things might happen if toi stay,"
she warned. Duskpaw scowled.
"I can stand up to myself, thanks. I think I'll be okay."
Bluepaw sighed, turning away.
"Alright, come with me."
Duskpaw couldn't help but notice the flash of fear in Bluepaw's eyes.
BLUEPAW
Bluepaw glanced up at the sky. Surely Starclan wanted Duskpaw to have left? ou did they want her to live the prophecy she was destined to live?
Bluepaw saw the clearing through the trees. She heard the murmuring and muttering of her clanmates-talking about Duskpaw, most likely.
Behind her, Duskpaw stopped walking. Bluepaw glanced at her sister.
"Stop being so anxious. Nothing will happen if toi don't make it happen."
Duskpaw hissed.
"I know! It just, Snowtuft tried to kill me, and he must have gained followers."
Bluepaw sighed. That was true.
"Lets just go back and make a good impression,"
she decided. Duskpaw nodded.
"Okay."
So the two apprentices padded over to the very edge of the clearing and peered in. Snowtuft was talking with Orangeleaf and Moonpelt.
Moonpelt was nodding, her light gray eyes narrowed. Orangeleaf looked worried, peering at the nursery and elder's den. Bluepaw stood up, shaking her fourrure out. "Duskpaw, come on. We're going in now."
Duskpaw got up, looking furious.
"Mangy flea-pelts!"
Bluepaw blinked.
"What did toi hear?"
Duskpaw lashed her tail.
"They a dit that I would kill all the kits in the nursery if I had my way!"
Bluepaw felt horror rise on her throat. Who told everyone about the prophecy?
Then it hit her. Snowtuft...Bluepaw began padding back to her clan, nudging her sister along.
"Duskpaw, lets get toi back to camp,"
she mewed.
Duskpaw blinked in misery.
"They all hate me though!"
Bluepaw softened her tone.
"You can explain what happaned, and assure them that the prophecy will never happen."
Duskpaw snorted.
"It might if they continue on like this."
Bluepaw gave a startled gasp.
"Are toi serious?!"
Duskpaw scowled.
"Of course not."
Bluepaw sighed. "Please come with me."
Duskpaw hissed.
"Whatever. Just don't expect me to be happy about it."
Bluepaw sighed inwardly.
"Okay, follow me..."
She led the way back to MapleClan, hopping over a small arbre that had fallen.
The chardon barrier was in view now, and Bluepaw excitedly bounded over to it. Yellowsun was waiting par the entrance.
"My dear kit! She's alive!" Her eyes were full happiness and joy.
Yellowsun leaped onto Duskpaw, covering her in licks. Duskpaw scrambled away from her mother. "Stop it!"
Yellowsun looked up, surprised.
"What?"
"Stop treating me like I belong here, because I don't! I hate MapleClan!"
YELLOWSUN
Yellowsun's eyes widened in surprise. Her kit somehow lived, came back, and burst out that she hates her clan!
"You don't really mean that,"
she insisted. Duskpaw dug her claws into the ground, fury lighting her eyes.
"Everybody hates me here. They want me to leave."
Yellowsun rested her tail on Duskpaw's shoulder.
"Thats not tru-"
A loud screech interuppted Yellowsun.
"Why is that cat back here?! Get it out! I never want to see that again!!"
Yellowsun saw Windflight, the Mapleclan medicine cat, standing at the opposite side of the clearing.
His dull orange fourrure was ragged and ungroomed. His eyes were wild. Yellowsun took a step back.
"Wha...?"
"He means me."
Duskpaw held her ground, claws unsheathed.
"What do toi want?"
She snarled.
"I've done nothing to deserve this hatred!"
Windflight lashed his tail.
"You are the cat in the prophecy, the cat that is to destroy Starclan!" Duskpaw snorted.
"And how could I do that? chats can't fly, mouse-brain!"
Windflight padded over to Duskpaw until the were nose to nose.
"Just get out of this clan, okay? I never want to see toi again."
DUSKPAW
Duskpaw couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"W-wha...?"
Yellowsun and Bluepaw looked equally surprised.
"You can't do that! Only Lynxstar can exile!"
Bluepaw was screeching as loud as she could to Windflight, but he ignored her. His eyes danced wildly in his head, and drool hung from his jaw.
A crowd was beggining to form around the four cats.
"What is going on?"
Dappleheart screeched. Yellowsun spun to face the deputy.
"Windflight thinks he can exile my kit!"
Dappleheart opened her mouth in ashtonishment.
"You can't do that, Windflight!" Windflight sneered.
"Watch me."
Beside Dappleheart, Shadowpaw and Rosepaw were trying to squeeze through.
"Let us through!"
Shadowpaw hissed. Duskpaw stared at them hopefully. Maybe they would be on her side...?
Then she remembered when they were gossiping about her. They hate me to...
Once through, Shadowpaw and Rosepaw marched to the middle of the crowd.
"We think Duskpaw should leave Mapleclan!"
Shocked gasps spread through the crowd.
"What a thing to say!"
Spat Briarsong, an elder. Whitelily and Ambermoon looked worried.
Shadowpaw held his head up.
"Duskpaw is supposed to destroy Starclan! How can we possibly trust such a cat?"
Rosepaw piped up,
"Yeah, even if she says she won't we know she will!"
Duskpaw felt horror rise in her throat. They were convincing the clan she was evil!
A loud snarl interuppted the voices. "Enough!"
Duskpaw turned to see Lynxstar standing on the High Branch, looking down at his clan disgustedly.
"So this is how we treat our apprentices now?"
He hissed. His eyes blazed with fury.
"What sort of clan is this?!"
Moonfall, a light-furred tom with a gray moon-shape on his side, stepped forward.
"Shadowpaw and Rosepaw believe they can exile anyone they dislike. Windflight agrees with them."
Lynxstar glared down at the three cats.
"What reason do toi have to do this to Duskpaw?"
Shadowpaw and Rosepaw looked indignent.
"There was a prophecy that she would destroy Starcan!"
Lynxstar snorted, turning to Windflight.
"I suppose that's your reason as well?"
Windflight nodded, his eyes less crazy.
"It is."
Lynxstar narrowed his eyes at the old medicine cat.
"Has Duskpaw done anything out of the ordinary to confirmer this prophecy?"
Windflight shook his head.
"Then this meeting is over. Duskpaw shall not be exiled!"
Duskpaw watched as the group of chats around her broke up. Shadowpaw and Rosepaw were the last ones to leave. But just before the left Duskpaw heard Shadowpaw mutter in Rosepaw's ear:
"I bet she'll pull off a little trick before nightfall. Then we'll get her exiled!"
Duskpaw felt fury bubble up inside of her, blocking out all her senses. Those little foxhearts! Bluepaw, beside her, rested her tail on Duskpaw's shoulder.
"I heard them to. Don't attack ou you'll be helping them out."
But Duskpaw couldn't hold back her anger any longer. Who cares if she got exiled! Nobody liked her anyway.
Duskpaw lunged at Shadowpaw, claws unsheathed.
"Why don't toi say that to my face, toi little foxheart?!"
Shadowpaw turned, his eyes wide with surprise. Rosepaw dived in front of her brother, taking the blow and rolling over onto the ground.
Duskpaw felt panicked. She hadn't had any training yet, and these apprentices were a moon older than herself.
"You fight like a kit!"
Rosepaw yowled. Duskpaw screeched as Shadowpaw dived on haut, retour au début of her and bit hard into her scruff.
"Lets see toi fight like a warrior,"
Rosepaw hissed. Duskpaw pushed herself up with her forepaws, knocking Shadowpaw off, then swung around to lash out at Rosepaw. Rosepaw yowled as Duskpaw's claws connected with her nose. Suddenly, Duskpaw was dragged back par the scruff. The
voice that spoke was ominously low.
"What are toi doing?"
Duskpaw stared at her paws gloomily. Lynxstar had caught her.
"Shadowpaw and Rosepaw started it,"
She grumbled. Lynxstar hissed, making Duskpaw flinch.
"I don't care who started it!"
Duskpaw shrunk lower to the ground.
"Are toi going to exile me?"
Beside her, she felt Bluepaw and Yellowsun tense. Lynxstar didn't reply.

Hi! I'm Spottyfur, I'm a kittypet and I've just snuck onto my owners computer to give toi my opinion on warrior cats. Now, my owner is always going on about them so I know pretty much everything about them!
Ok enough talking my opinion time, it does sound fun, no pesky little humans grabbing toi but no free food, I mean I'm used to nourriture just appearing magically in my bowl and I cant be bothered to hunt! Ok now lets talk about 'starclan' I don't really get it I mean I guess its fine but I cant be bothered to worship them, I don't believe in anything I cant touch...
So that's my opinion and, "spotyfur what are toi doing?!" uh oh I got to go, uh, byeee!

So that's my opinion and, "spotyfur what are toi doing?!" uh oh I got to go, uh, byeee!
Is it because they didn’t like each other at the start? Is it because Bristle liked Stem first? Is it because Bristle is better off single? Is it because they hate the characters?
In my opinion this ship is the best. Because it actually takes time unlike most ships where they are mates and toi never realize it until they have their kits. Root and Bristle are still processing because they want to remain loyal to their clans.
This ship takes time and I have no idea why people hate the ship so much.

So, i was thinking the other jour what to add to my article yesterday and some out of the blue theory came up. I a dit in that article that faded chats go in a endless loop of meamories, and they go from kit to fading, and they keep knowlege from they re real life(and afterlife, like starclan, d f. etc). Well, what if they could make diff choises then before, because they would learn from mistakes right? Like so a dark forest cat could have a secound chance. And also there would be a lot of what ifs. There is litallary no evendise for any of this but, its just fun to think of. Signing out, berrynosestinks(he does!).
1. Its DUMBASS DUMB
2. Guys, if we be true, he uses the stick for one thing, one thing, and thats for talking with his gf, half moon, so i say ride the half moon jayfeather ship
3.wtf are we talking about jayfeather and stick having kits(im talking to u, the fucken person who made stick kits image
4. the stick got broken and has been laying on the ground for last past decades
5 ship sinks right now, jayfeather does not mate, he iz very oppesed to that do to (spoiler alert) his dead mother, leafpool.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 it took 5 missles and boom, blew up ship, signing out, berrynosestinks
I mean seriously. People think Cinderpelt was Fireheart's mate ou crush at one point. Fireheart was Cinderpelt's mentor before she hurt her leg. They did not like each other in that way. I am going to liste a few reasons why they could not be together.
1. Fireheart was and is to old for her.
2. Fireheart liked Sandstorm.
3. Cinderpelt became a medicine cat.
So yes, those are some reasons. I hope I did not offend anyone. This is just my opinion.
Please commentaire if toi agree with me:)
