The russet color tom jumped onto Shaderock and his leaf green eyes blazed with pride. The clan looked up to see the tom on the rock and murmured things with pride and honor in their voices. A black she-cat was sitting outside of the nursery talking to another she cat licking her kit to comfort them.
"Nightspark maybe I should head-" the she cat looked up to face the black she cat when she was interrupted by a yowl.
"Let all cats old enough to hide in the shadows come gather underneath the Shaderock for a clan meeting."
"What were you saying?" The black she-cat asked the she cat who was interrupted by the yowl. "Haha very funny Nighty" she mewed before she disappeared with her kit in the nursery forgetting it was a clan meeting.
"It's Nightspark, Swirly" the black cat mewed after her then added, "It is also a clan meeting" Then the cat came out of the nursery and said quietly, "Oops" Nightspark let out a mrrow of laughter them went to join the meeting with her friend. Darkstar said loudly, "I am sad that Tigerkit is only three moons away to becoming an apprentice."
Nightspark's friend, and Tigerkit's mother, jumped up and hissed, "My kit was only born a few days ago! Do you really think that he can be an apprentice at three moons old, a kit can barely leave their mother then!"
The tom on the rock flexed his claws out. Anxiety stabbed through her as she prayed, Starclan don't let Darkstar hurt, or kill my friend! She saw the tom stand up and hissed, "Do you remember what happened to the last time a cat disagreed with me?"
"Swirlwish stop, it's not worth it. I promise I won't let your kit die but you can't disagree with Darkstar I don't want you to get killed!" Nightspark said quietly so no one but Swirlwish could hear. Swirlwish glanced at her with an uneasy glance then sat down holding in her anger. Darkstar smirked.
"Redheart set some patrols will you" he said with a hiss in his voice. Redheart, the clan deputy, listen to Darkstar, the clan leader, and her mate. She saw a bit of hurt, anger, and affection in her eyes, Nightspark knew she must love the tom enough to kill anyone.
"Meeting has come to an end" Darkstar said leaping off Shaderock and padding over to Nightspark. She hated when Darkstar padded up to her, he usually hiss insults and asked when the kits will come. He only came to ask about the kits because he wanted to know when they will be born so he can train them to be a evil as he is. And because he is the father of the kits.
"Greetings" he said glaring down at her. Her fur bristled as she greeted him. "What are you doing sitting around here?" He demanded "Go to the nursery you peice of fox dung!"
"I was, fox heart!" Nightspark hissed them added boldly "If you didn't get in my way I would be there alseep or talking to Swirlwish!" But before she could turn to the nursery and get away from him she was grabbed by his tail.
He snarled "One you never call me 'Fox heart'. Two you listen to me and do as I say!" He let her go the stalked off. She gasped for air. She sprinted to the nursery, half frightened and half in fury.
She saw Swirlwish and Tigerkit curled up together in deep sleep. So she started to create a hole the den of bramble trying to make it look like something broke in. Swirlwish lifted her head and blinked the sleep from her eyes. She mewed "Hello Nightspark, what are you doing?"
"Something,"
"What though?"
"I'm making a hole so it looks like a fox or badger broke in. Then I'll leave through this way and leave some blood around so it looks like the was a fight."
Swirlwish had confusion in her eyes. "But why are you leaving? At least let me come with you"
"No, I am leaving so Darkstar doesn't kill my kits and I need you to cover for me" she mewed, regret clawed her. "Okay but can you take Tigerkit with you?" Swirlwish asked that shocked her. "What? Do you have bees in your brain? I-" she broke off the rest when she saw that there was no use on fighting her.
"Okay, but I can't keep him with me. I'll have to take him to a different clan. Maybe-" she was about to say "Thunderclan" but Swirlwish already said it.
That night Nightspark slipped through the hole she had made to make it look like a creature, like a fox or a badger, had broken into the nursery and took her and Tigerkit. When she was at the edge of the camp, she could hear Swirlwish yowl with fear and fury and cat raced to the nursery to help. Nightspark started to pick up her pace then, before she knew it, she was running for Thunderclan territory.
The forest was so unfamiliar to her. But she somehow found the camp. Oh Starclan, I bet they can smell my fear-scent, she feared. Once she was in the middle on the clearing, cats noticed she was here and started hissing at her. Their fur bristling, claws unsheathed, and the queens nudging their kits in the nursery. She feared that they might chase her out.
"Enough!" a bright golden and white tom on top of a rock, that was so high she thought she might die to go up there, yowled. Tigerkit started to mewl for food. She couldn't help but feel heartbroken for her friend who gave Tigerkit to Thunderclan until he was rightfully old enough to become an apprentice.
The tom jumped down and walked over to Nightspark. "Greetings" he dipped his head. "Hello" she studdered. "Get her out of here! Those crow-eating-savages should be dead for the forest and Starclans sake!" A Thunderclan cat yowled. There was murmurs of agreement through out the camp.
"No! If we drive this queen and kit out we'd kill them!" The tom hissed starting to lose his control of this emotions. She could see the fury and pain in his eyes. A beautiful silver-blue she cat mewed "Sunstar is right" She must be so quiet no one heard, it seemed anyways.
"I just wanted to know if you'd take care of this kit for Starclans sake!" She put kit down before those words blurted out of her mouth. The clan was silent for a few moments.
"Why?" Sunstar asked to puzzled to think what to say next along with the clan.
Nightspark took a deep breath and said calmly "Darkstar wanted kits to train to young and I don't want it to happen to this kit or my kits, I wanted to know if you cou take care of him until he was six moons old."
Sunstars eyes gleamed with sympathy. "We will I promise"
"One more thing, teach him some fighting moves before he goes back, please?"
"We will"
Her heart sank when she left the camp. She left the handsome tom to deal with the clan bothering him about the Shadowclan kit. She also left the kit there too. She raced towards the Fourtrees. Then across Windclan territory straight to the barn. Her heart raced just as fast as her paws. She stopped at the white fence that sperated Windclan from the barn.
Nightspark took deep breaths before she climbed over it and walked cautiously to the entrance of the barn. She heard a cat hissed and turned to see a cat lunging at her. Starclan give me strength! She thought desperately but before she could defend herself a white bler flashed in between her and the cat.
"Stop in Blacknight!" The white blur hissed then she realized it was a cat. "I was about to say the same thing!" The cat hissed. The white cat ignored him and turned to meet Nightspark.
"Sorry about him," the cat flicked his tail to the black cat. "I'm Claw" he mewed. The tip of his tail pointed to a silver she-cat and a black kit "That's Silver and her kit, Nyssa"
"And that's Browny and her kits, Sugar and Orange," he pointed to a brown she-cat whos amber eyes shone with fear as she pushed her kits closer to her. "And that is Cherry and her kits, Clouded, Lucas, and Dark" as he named all the cats names she started to wonder what names she would name her kits.
"So , what's your name?" Claw asked interrupting her thoughts. "Oh, Nightspark"
"Okay. Why are you here? This is the rogues and loners place and, well, you're a clan cat" he mewed then she started to talk about how Darkstar train kits to young and how she feared for her kits.
"Oh no, you poor thing!" A voice meowed. It came from Silver. "I'm fine really I just need to eat something and get some sleep" Nightspark reassured her.

About a quarter moon later Nightspark had her kits. "They're beautiful!" Browny meowed. Thank Starclan I have kits who would not be born in the darkness of Darkstar! Nightspark thought.
"What are we naming them?" Claw mewed. "The she-kit is Shadow and the tom is Bark."
"I must leave them here and go back to Shadowclan before someone realizes that I'm living here. Windclan knows every Shadowclan cat there is. Windclan lives near this barn in the moorlands. They will recognize me and tell Shadowclan." Nightspark said with sorrow is her eyes. Claw licked the top of her head and rapped his tail around her. "Okay, we'll go back."
Nightspark and Claw left after saying goodbye and raced cross the moorland towards the Fourtrees. There was a tunnel that is a few rabbit hops it Thunderclan territory. The tunnel lead under the thunderpath so Shadowclan cats can cross safely. They were finally at the camp.
They cautiously walked into the camp. Oh Starclan help us! Nightspark thought. The camp was full of cats. Swirlwish wa grieving for her and Tigerkit. A huge golden tom saw her and raced towards her claws unsheathed. "Goldenpelt wait! That's Nightspark!" Swirlwish called for him, then Goldenpelt halte to a stop.
"Nigtspar-" h was cut off with a yowl. Fear rushes through her like a bolt of lightning. "Nightspark is a traitor to the clan!" Howls of agreement and rage was through out the camp. Nightspark thought her heart had stopped when she saw who yowled that she was a traitor.
It was Darkstar.
"I'm not! I swear to Starclan I'm not!" Even though she new she went against the warrior code by taking her kit somewhere else. But even though Swirlwish, Goldenpelt and spa few other warriors said she was telling the truth, Darkstar attacked Nightspark with rage. Redheart tangled with Claw and Hailstorm at her side, Claw managed to pin her down. Cloudedeyes can to help Darkstar. He finally pinned her down.
"I loved you, and this is how you repay me?" he hissed quietly so only Nightspark can hear.
"Love me? You hated me! My kits will kill you! Everyone would know that, if I told them my kits were alive! Only you know that! You stupid piece of fox dung!" She hissed back. She was lucky Redheart wasn't listening and if she heard she didn't show any sign of it.
Darkstar yowl for everyone to stop ad watch what he was about to do. Nightspark new her life was about to end. Once he had everyones attention, he lifted his paw, pin her down by the throat and slashed her throat open. Blood trickle down. Fear rushed into Swirlwish's eyes and pain was in Goldenpelt's. There were yowls of happiness and approval everywhere.
Claw let out a yowl of pain, hate and of sadness. He rushed to Nightspark picking her body up and slashed Darkstar's eye then hissed to everyone "You'll pay for this! Her kits will make sure of that!" He ran out of the camp heading straight to the barn.
