Prologue
She was in front of the nursery as the WindClan cats streamed into the RiverClan camp. A black WindClan cat named Nightstripe, lashed out with claws, killing VineTail, her friend, and fell to the ground dead. She cried out in horror, but did not move from her spot, knowing if she did her kits and Wrenflight´s kit would be left alone and harmless. Her kits were 3 moons old and Wrenflight´s kit was 5 moons old. I wish that stupid WindClan apprentice didn´t accuse us of prey stealing… she thought.
She glanced around and saw Songstar get smashed, head first into the Wet Rock praying she thought, get up!!! You have nine lives, you have to get up!!! Watching in dismay she looked at her mate, Troutsplash, fighting two WindClan toms. She was knocked down by Nightstripe, pinning her shoulders and hindlegs.
´´YOU SMELLY FOX-HEART!!!!´´ Smallfire screamed, wriggling, trying to escape as the tom held her down.
´´Maybe you should not have stolen prey, but anywho, if you want to starve us will well hurt you!!´´ Nightstripe forced her head to the side, Nightsripe yowled to a white and orange tom.
´´NOW!!! DAWNSTEP!!! KILL TROUT SPLASH NOW!´´ Smallfire watched in horror as Dawnstep spring to Troutsplash, killing him within seconds, but before her mate fell, he mouthed. ´I love you… Smallfire…´
´´NOO!!!´´ Smallfire screeched, flinging her paw upward, meeting something hot and heavy, she glanced up to see blood spilling downward from her leg. Nightstripe´s body fell on top of her. She heard Dawnstep yowl something, and saw Dawnstep standing over her one second and waking up on glittering starlight grass, feeling saddened when she saw Vinetail, Beepaw, Troutsplash, Grasspaw (The medicine apprentice), and… Songstar. Realizing this was Starclan, she looked up to see a starry forest filled with cats glittering with stars.
Chapter one
Ripplestar was the new leader of RiverClan, and had appointed Willowsong as the deputy. After the battle Skipkit and her sisters had sat next to each other as the elders had taken the other dead clanmates and their parents, Smallfire and Troutsplash, to bury them. Rainkit had begged to help bury them, with grief she padded back to the nursery when they had told her no.
Wrenflight had taken care of them, along with her own kit, Fleetpaw, but ever since Fleetpaw had become an apprentice, Wrenflight had gone back to warrior duties but still slept in the nursery to take care of them. Skipkit had remembered when the WindClan attacked, that two of her clanmates, Grasspaw and Firefoot had tried to get help from Thunderclan but Grasspaw had been hurt by a wound on his leg and had drowned, then FireFoot had gone to get help and did. But had returned more injured then he had left.
She snapped back into focus when RippleStar spoke once again.
´´Rainkit, you have reached the age of 6 moons and it's time you are apprenticed. Willowsong? You are young and eager and also the deputy of RiverClan, i trust you to hand you wisdom and happiness down to Rainpaw.´´
´´RAINPAW! RAINPAW! RAINPAW!!!´´ the clan cheered, Ripplestar waited until the chants calmed down and flicked his tail for Pearlkit to step forward.
´´Pearlkit, you as well have reached the age of 6 moons, Bearfur? You may be a little old, but you have plenty of life ahead of you, you well mentor Pearlpaw.´´
´´PEARLPAW! PEARLPAW! PEARLPAW!!! Ripplestar nodded, shaking his fur as he continued.
´´Skipkit, you have reached the age to become an apprentice, I will be your mentor and train you in the ways of a warrior, and in return I hope you try your best, Skippaw.´´
´´SKIPPAW! SKIPPAW! SKIPPAW!!!́ ́ Skippaw sat back, embarrassed. Her sisters lashed their tails and sank their claws into the ground with excitement, their green eyes glittered with happiness. But she couldn't share their excitement, she wasn't sure why, but all she knew was that she didn't think she could help her clan when they needed her, and she wanted to drown herself for thinking that.
´´I can't wait to see what's outside of camp!´´ Rainpaw meowed happily, nudging her shoulder, almost making her fall.
´´Me too…´´ Skippaw murmured.
´´Are you ok?´´ Pearlpaw asked, twitching her whiskers in concern.
´´Of course why would I not be?´´ Skippaw forced a smile, as she lied.
´´alright…´´ Pearlpaw said, not convinced.
´´Skippaw, Pearlpaw, Rainpaw, it's time you made a nest in the apprentice den, it's late.´´ Wrenflight mewed, licking the sisters each on their heads. The sisters nodded, looking up to see the sun setting the padded ino the apprentice den, making a nest and falling asleep quickly.
Chapter two
Skippaw was standing over the river, watching random cats clawing for air in the river, ́help them!´ she screamed at herself. But she couldn't move, her paws stood static in place, her body was numb, she heard a large BOOM from above, she glanced upward, seeing huge star-like things exploded. She flattened her ears as all sorts of colors showered down. ´ Oh no!!! The stars are exploding!´
She snapped awake, her fur was puffed out like a hedgehog, she blinked a couple of times and licked her fur in, quick, strokes. She glanced at the entrance and saw a sun slowly rising, she sat up grooming her chest. Pearlpaw groaned, sitting upward and rubbing her eyes with her tail. Pearlpaw shook her long fur, slowly and gracefully started grooming herself.
´´Ugggghhhh, it's morning…´´ Pearlpaw grunted, flupping down on her moss bed dramatically. Skippaw sighed, glancing outside the apprentice den again, thinking, I wonder if Starclan showed me that dream… she flicked her ears, standing up and stretching before prodding her sisters awake.
´´Wake up mouse-brains, it's time for training.´´ Rainpaw shot upward, sleepiness gone.
´´I CAN'T WAIT!!! I WONDER WHAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE!!!´´ Rainpaw said, dancing on her toes. Ripplestar, Willowsong and Bearfur walked in the den.
´´Come on, we are all going on patrol together, let's hurry up.´´ Pealpaw let out a grunt, standing up and padding out of the den with Rainpaw dash after her. Skippaw got up hearing a whisper in her ear.
´´Remember your dream!!!´´ Skippaw shivered, fur rising along her spine.
´´Go get something to eat.´´ Ripplestar said as they padded back into camp, Skippaw mewed happily as she remembered Rainpaw as she fell in the river, she glanced at her and saw she was dripping water.
´´HAHA! You got a Riverclan experience today!´´ Skippaw laughed as Rainpaw licked her chest fur in embarrassment.
´´Shut up well you?´´ Rainpaw murmured. They all padded over to the fresh-kill pile, Rainpaw and Pearlpaw grabbed a trout to share and Skippaw grabbed a large minnow.
´´Hey… ah! What happened to Rainpaw?´´ Fleetpaw asked, racing over to them. Pearlpaw started to explain and Skippaw walked over to Rainpaw and settled down. Skippaw took a bite out of her meal, chewing the gummy flesh.
´´Oof, what a day!´´ Pearlpaw said, sitting down and starting to share tongues with Fleetpaw. Fleetpaw flicked his black and white tail,
´´I agree!´´Fleetpaw said as Wrenflight padded over to them, her white and light brown fur glimmered, in the sunlight.
´´How was your day guys? Also i´m sorry to hear that you fell into the river today Rainpaw.´´ Wrenflight asked, flicking her tail in worry.
´´I´m fine, Someone just pushed me into it!´´ Rainpaw growled, nudging Pearlpaw as she giggled.
´´ Everyone gather around the Wet Rock for a clan meeting!!!´´ They all fell silent as they padded up and around the Wet Rock. Ripplestar sat on the top with Willowsong at his side.
´´We are going to war, Windclan has attacked us and believes they are stronger, so we will prove them wrong!´´ Ripplestar declared, the cats of Riverclan yowled their agreement. ´´We will attack at sunhigh! I am going to take 3 patrols to surprise them. I will lead the first patrol and I will take Firefoot, Bearfur, Lightningtail, and Fleetpaw! Willowsong will lead the second and she will take Daypaw, Halfpaw, Oceanwave, and Skyclaw! Wrenflight will lead the third patrol and take Shimmertail, Nightpetal, Ravenblaze, and Petalcloud! Clan dismissed, go rest and we will attack at sunrise!´´
Skippaw felt happy that, now, her clan would fight back, for revenge of their fallen clanmates.
Chapter three
Skippaw looked as the patrols left to fight Windclan, she felt snow pelted down on the camp, but Ripplestar had insisted that, since the snow had started to fall they could get a better chance to win. She knew that Pearlpaw didn't want Fleetpaw to go since they were good friends. But she was disappointed that most no one was in the camp, only the elder, Alderstone, the only expecting queen, Starlingfire, her sisters, Doveclaw, and the medicine cat, Raysplash.
´´Wanna go outside the camp and explore? We are apprentice´s after all.́ ́ Rainpaw said as she padded up alongside Pearlpaw. Skippaw nodded, ́ ́That sounds fun!´´
They all dashed outside camp, Pearlpaw balled up a snow-ball and hurled it at Rainpaw.
´´Hey!!!´´ Rainpaw exclaimed. Skippaw laughed, Jumping in a snow-hill, she landed heavily, smashing face first into the snow. She opened her eyes expecting to see pure white but saw a small brown and ginger ball of frozen fluff instead. She grabbed it and lifted her head out of the snow, mumbling.
´´Huys, I found somefin´.´´ Rainpaw and Pearlpaw turned their heads to look at her.
´´is that a kitten?´´ Pearlpaw asked at the same time Rainpaw said, ´´Ooo!!!´´
´´I thing it a kif.´´ Skippaw said, flicking her tail. ´´We better get to camph then.´´ Rainpaw and Pearlpaw nodded, Skippaw took the lead, racing ahead. They almost smashed into Raysplash.
´´woah! What´are you young apprentices doing?´´’Raysplash said, lifting his hairless head.
´´We found this kitten, well Skippaw found it, but it was in the snow for who knows how long.´´ Rainpaw declared, as Raysplash nodded.
´´Follow me, Pearlpaw go get Starlingfire is starting to make milk since she is close to kitting. Skippaw and Rainpaw come with me.´´ They all nodded and Skippaw trotted after Raysplash. Skippaw entered the Medicine cat den alongside Rainpaw, gently sitting the kit on a moss-bed. They both sat back as Raysplash sniffed the kit a couple of times then layed it on its back and started bumping the kits chest gently then crouched next to it, got up again and started rubbing the kit and licking the fur the wrong way. She watched for what felt like moons until the kitten stirred, letting out the smallest mew.
Starlingfire burst into the medicine den., laying next to the kit, bathing it with her tongue. Slowly the kit rose its head, its blurry eyes rested on her.
‘’Mother?’’ the kit asked, shaking her head.
