The Shining hope

Prologue

Runningpetal stretched his small legs. His claws were chipped and broken almost as he had been in many battles, but the truth was he had once almost drowned. He had managed to save himself but with a price that would be no claws. His golden fur glisten to the sun light reflecting against him. His green eyes a deep forest green. He then padded away from the strong scent of herbs to the camp center were every cat and kit would stand before they could eat in a line. There right beside him one of his best friends, Snapsnow, who was very strong and tall. 

"Good mornin' Runnin'petal!" She said in her accent. That was one thing he enjoyed about her. 

"Morning Snapsnow" He replied with a soft kind smile. Cats started to yawn and poor out of there dens. Snapsnows grey fur seemed not to enjoy the sunlight and reflect nothing at all.

"Im so hungry I could eat a horse!" Emberleg said stretching her long legs. The hairless cat had once had so much fur but now held on a few patches of gleaming ginger fur that was almost yellow, but never the less the she cat held a pretty smile and a caring heart. 

"Oh really I could eat two!" Her little apprentice, Whitepaw yawned padding into her place on the line. 

As all the cats gather he noticed that Redstar wasn't looking very friendly today. he thought it was just a hunch but he couldn't shrug of the feeling that something terribly bad could happen any moment.

"Ok before we pick our share of the prey I have had a vision!" Red star said leaping onto the Yowlingrock. Everyone started to wisper to each other.

"It was very vivid, Silverear came to me telling me that the shining one would be darker than any thing we've encontered before" Redstar yowled again. 

Runningpetal looked around for someone it could be and then he spotted the small kit. Shinekit! His eyes widened. Many cats started to stare at the poor kit who was looking around wondering what was happening. 

"Shinekit! Due to the seeing of starclan I have no choice but to keep you away from each cat and keep you heavily guarded! You are no longer Shinekit, you are now Deathkit! I hope you understand why I am doing this," Redstar padded back inside while the whole clan was left to torture the poor kit who wasn't even a moon old.

"Get this thing away from me!" Shouted  Fennelfur arching her back at Deathkit.

"Its going to hurt my kits!" Ashfang said wrapping her tail around her kits. 

"Make it have a separate nest!" Poppyberry the deputy yowled. 

Why was this happening so quickly? This couldn't be happening! Why would star clan say a innocent kit would become a dark traitor? He watched as Firestorm looked at Deathkit her eyes full of sadness. She was sad because her only kit would be taken and tortured by the clan only because starclan said so. In an instinct Runningpetal leaped over all the cats and landed right beside Deathkit. The tiny brown tabby kit with his golden eyes looked at Runningpetal with pleading eyes. So he put his paw over Deathkit protectively. Everyone stoped talking. Then after a few seconds of silence Most of the crowd started to whisper. 

"What are you doing?" Sandcloud murmured as he lashed his tail at the kit. Then Firestorm leaped to Deathkit finally. The crowd started yowling a hissing insults at the poor kit who was holding Runningpetals paw. The crowd then started lashing at them.

"Yewstripe help me," Firestorm called out to her mate.

"Why are you helping him?" Yewstripe said.

"Because he's my kit!" She yowled back in despair.
