Shadowstar's Prophecy

CHAPTER 1: The begining of her life

There are four clans, Dawnclan, Rainclan, Twilightclan, and Poppyclan. These are cats that are desendents of Shadowclan,Thuderclan,Windclan, and Riverclan. One cat named Blackpaw she was casted out by her father, Poppystar. Her father hated her when she came to this world. He casted her away from the camp near the willow and she never had a chance to prove herself worthy.

"Poppystar! Come see you kits!" Yellowwhisker yelled for the Poppyclan leader. "How many?" The reddish-brown tom asked. "Four. Three males and one female." The old medicine cat replied with a soft purr. "Shadowwhisker, the middle tom looks like you and the other toms look like me!" Poppystar stiffled a purr. "What about the female kit she looks like me, too." Shadowwhisker replied softly as she twitched her tail to the small black kit huddled in a ball. He tried to change the subject, " Barkkit for the first one, Sandkit, an Nightkit" Shadowwhisker brought it up again, " the female black one, Poppystar!"
"Ohh....yes her....umm..Blackkit." Poppy star suggested with uncertainty about her small size. Her clear green eyes were staring at her mother. "Beautiful......." Shadowwhisker awed about her name and her eyes.
* * *
"Poppystar!" Yellowwhisker hollard his name. "What Yellowwhisker?" Poppystar said as he poked his head into the nursery den. Yellowwhisker whimpered, "Shadowwhisker is dead...." Poppystar didn't even realize that Yellowwhisker had blood dripping from her paws and whiskers and the floor of the den was covered in blood. Shadowwhisker had bright red blood dripping from her jaws and three of the kits were dead also.
"I tried Poppystar,I tried. Rainfeather said she just started to cough up blood. She also said that she tried to take the kits so they didn't get sick and she found out that they were dead. She ran to get me and by the time I got there she was....dead." Yellowwhisker whimpered. "Shadowwhisker......Shadowwhisker don't go, not yet.... " Poppystar whispered in her ear. "Poppystar, look." Yellowwhisker flicked her tail in the direction of the small she-kit covered in her mother's blood.
    Poppystar stared at the lifeless ball of fur. "She's alive...." Yellowwhisker trailed off as the kit twitched and opened her pink mouth and let out a little whimper. Poppystar stared at the kit with digust as she let out another whimper. "Since Shadowwhisker is dead we can send her down river?" Poppystar offered in hope to get rid of the pathetic little flea bag.
   
     "Poppystar! You can't do that she is just a kit and Shadowwhisker wouldn't have done that if she was alive!" She groweled. "I'm not Shadowwhisker." He argued. "Why would you send her down river!" Yellowwhisker wailed in anger. "Shes the runt she won't last long in Poppyclan." He replied cooly.
                                                             *         *        *
     Seven moon later her father told her to follow him to the border of Poppyclan she thought that she was becoming a warrior already and wanted her opinion on her naming ceromony. "You dont belong here Blackpaw leave and never come back," Poppystar growled staring at the river as if something was there. "Poppystar? Why?" She argued back in defence. "Just go and never return to this place." He turned quickly and growled, as he did so he startled her in his anger.
    "No." She defended herself. "Fight me if you want but you know you are going to lose." He said cooly.She tried to fight him to show him that she was worthy of being a cat of Poppyclan. Her father forced her into the river that bordered Rainclan from Poppyclan. She slipped on a rock falling into the water. With a twitch of his whiskers he was gone.

  "Blackpaw! What are doing here on our side of the territory! If Starshadow finds out your here she'll rip your pelt off and use it to warm up the kits during leaf- bear!" Her friend Mistpaw told her. " Sputtering up water she coughed " Don't you think I....know that!.... Hey thanks for helping....me out of the water." Mistpaw replied back in her soft friendly tone " Follow me I'll take you to our camp so you can warm up."
    Mistpaw lifted Blackpaw up by her scruff and helped her to her feet. Blackpaw leaning on Mistpaw, they walked passed a hare that hopped passed as quickly as
possible to outrun us as if they were attacking it. "I was sopposed to be out hunting. Hey, is that fine with you? Can you stand?" Misypaw questioned with worried eyes. "Yeah I can stand and you can go." Blackpaw answered. Mistpaw bounded away into the shrubs.
    When her scent was stale Blackpaw lifted up her foot to reveal a deep wound down the side of her belly, dripping blood onto the moor of Dawnclan. She placed her paw over it to try to stop the pain. Cringing in pain she laid down to rest.
                                                                    *       *      *
    "Hey wake up. Blackpaw, wake up it's sun high and I caught enough to make sure my deputy doesn't go haywire. Ok?" Mistpaw said as she prodded Blackpaw awake. "Let's go." Mistpaw whispered helping her to her paws. They passed a few trees not many on the moor. "How do you hunt like this?" Blackpaw asked with a quizzical look on her face. "Easy." Mistpaw replied. "Hey we're here. I think you should go check with Skybreeze for wounds and illness while I go deal with Dawnstar." Blackpaw had another pain but she put it behind her and nodded to hide her pain.
