Warrior Cats: Lost Moon

Chapter 2

A horrifying scream echoed around camp. Cinnamonkit looked at the Nursery entrance with big eyes while Rainykit hid behind Sweetsong. Tigerflower was giving birth. A white tom was pacing next to Sweetsong. At one point Sandytail raced to the medicinecat den and came back with cobwebs. After what felt like a whole day Juniperleaf returned. 'Congratulations Flurrygaze, you have two kits.' The sound of the black toms voice was soft but his eyes were dark. Flurrygaze entered the Nursery to be with his mate. 'Somethings wrong, isn't it?' Sweetsong whispered. Juniperleaf looked down. 'One kit didn't survive. The only kit that looked like Tigerflower.' He mewed. Cinnamonkit looked at the Nursery. Tigerflower must felt heartbroken. The tabby queen had always told them that if she got a kit that looked like her, she would name it Rosekit. But that didn't happen. Sweetsong gave Juniperleaf a friendly lick. 'Things like that happen.' The golden queen mewed. 'Now come kits. I'd like you to see one of the most beautiful things StarClan gave this world.'

Cinnamonkit looked at Rosekit. The tiny kitten lay in midst of camp while the Clan mourned her. Weatherstar jumped on Highrock. 'StarClan was brutal to give away a Warrior at such a young age.' The big gray tom mewed. 'But they did gave us hope trough Fernkit and Creamkit.' Sandytail was inside the Nursery, looking after the two kits while their parents mourned their sister. 'With this last journey, together with the elders. We will guide her to the safe place that is StarClan.' The dark gray leader jumped down and touched the kittens nose with his for the final time. Foxfang and Badgerclaw looked at eachother, then at Flurrygaze and Tigerflower, and picked Rosekit gently up. They let her ride on Foxfangs back while bringing her to her grave. Sweetsong had, together with her kits, collected a buttercup to fall on the grave. 'Lets go inside kits.' The golden queen mewed gently. Cinnamonkit followed her mother. Sandytail was grooming Creamkit. The white tom was midget next to Sandytails older kits. Fernkit layed curled up next to her brother. The white she-cat with brown splotches looked to peachfull for this world. Cinnamonkit knew that the two kits would have a life much more complicated then hers. She curled up in Sweetsongs nest en let the warmth of her mother overwhelm her thoughts. 
Cinnamonkit woke up trough the rays of sunlight. She openend her eyes and saw that Tigerflower was curled up in her nest. Creamkit and Fernkit lay beside her. Sandytail and her kits were already awake. Sandytail was grooming Falconkit while Mudkit and Stormkit jumped around them. Cinnamonkit poked Rainykit. Clearly it was the kits first day outside. 'Let's go outside.' She mewed once her gray sister woke up. Rainykit jumped up. 'Yes!' The two sisters sneaked to the entrence so Sandytail couldn't see them. It would be way to embarrassing if the yellow queen had to tell them they weren't allowed to play outside. Once outside the two sisters saw that Ryewing was leading the dawn patrol, the kits could see their friend Brightpaw with them. Bluepaw was sharing a vole with Redpaw. Cinnamonkit ran to them, Rainykit right after her. 'Oh hello' Redpaw purred. Cinnamonkit looked happily at her Clan. Although Rosekit had died ThunderClan was still the safest place she knew. Rainykit was watching Bluepaw. The gray tom was clearly uncomfortable with the kit mooning over him. Redpaw couldn't stop a giggle. Cinnamonkit looked around, it was way to embarrassing for her. 'Look there are Mudkit, Falconkit and Stormkit!' The golden and black kit mewed. The siblings struggled with the new type of sunlight. Redpaw understood what she was doing and stood up. 'Let's help them.' The red she-cat mewed. Bluepaw smiled. 'Remember when we got the chance to leave the nursery?' He purred to his sister. Redpaw started purring to. 'Chervilpaw told you that if you'd go to the leadersden, you'd be send to Snake Rocks on you'r own.' The ginger apprentice teased. Bluepaw gave her a flick of his tail as warning, but his eyes were warm and the love he felt for his sibling was clearly endless. Cinnamonkit looked at Rainykit, she couldn't imagine losing her. Stormkit saw the young cats and immediately started sprinting to them. His brother right behind him. Falconkit, their sister, was much smaller and it took her much longer to be there. 'You're to slow Falconkit!' Stormkit mewed. 'We all know that Turtlestar will come at you.' Mudkit grunted. Falconkit looked angry at her older brothers. 'Well fine then! I'm going to Sandytail. She is not angry with me for being short!' The golden and white kitten stomped back to the nursery. Whispersoul saw it happen. The young golden Warrior looked furious at his kits. He walked to the group of cats and Cinnamonkit hid behind Redpaw. The big golden tom looked terrifying. 'Go back to the nursery.' He groweled to his kits. The two toms sprinted back to the nusery, Stormkit wailing. Leopardspeckle came to. 'Mosscloud wants us on a hunting patrol Redpaw.' The tom mewed. Redpaw jumped up. Bluepaws eyes started sparkling. 'Can i come!' He asked hopefully. Leopardspeckle shook his head. 'Sorry, but Silverspark wanted to meet you at-' But before the senior warrior could finish, Brightpaw bursted into camp. 'ShadowClan is attacking!' She yowled. Leopardspeckle looked around camp. 'Dayfur and Woolypelt! Follow me. Redpaw, go to Sunningrocks and find Mosscloud and Weatherstar. Bluepaw tell everyone in camp to prepare for an invasion and protect the elders. You two.' He looked at Cinnamonkit and Rainykit. 'Go inside the nursery and tell you're parents.' The four young cats nodded and Leopardspeckle ran, together with her patrol and Brightpaw. to the ShadowClan border. Cinnamonkit and Rainykit looked at Bluepaw, who stepped to Drizzlecloud and Juniperleaf, who were eating a blackbird and clearly hadn't noticed Brightpaw and Leopardspeckle. He talked to them in a low voice and then looked at the two kits. His expression made it clear: go inside. Rainykit immediately did as told and Cinnamonkit followed her, hoping that everything would be alright.
