The Rise Of Sun's Wing

Chapter Two

(The picture is how I think Frozenkit looks like.)

Frozenkit started awake as he heard commotion in the camp. He realised that he was the only cat in the nursery and he stretched his muscles awake. He was feeling better after the shock of his and his sibling's play fight. Why do I have to be so feeble. He thought. He stumbled out of the nursery and blinked the sleep out of his eyes. He saw the border patrol by the entrance to the camp. He saw his clan mates surrounding the patrol bristling with anger. Frozenkit padded up to Mothkit that was at the edge of the group of cats. 

He slided next to her and asked, "What's happening?" 

"See for yourself" She answered with a tone of anger. 

Frozenkit used his size to slip through all the cats around him to the front of the group. There stood Sweetstem, Tallfrond, Gingerheart, Sedgepaw and Littlepounce. And next to them a stranger... He didn't recognise the smell of any other clan that hung to the pelts of his clan mates after patrols. A rogue. 

He gulped and could help himself from wailing, "Rogue in our camp! "His squeeky voice filled the clearing and almost a heart beat later Hailstar and Nightfern emerged from the leader's den.

" What is the meaning of this! "Hailstar roared, startling Frozenkit and as it seemed everyone around him too. 

Everyone dipped their heads in respect as the leader passed by and Sweetem bowed as low as Frozenkit has ever seen a cat bow to their leader.

" Please d-do lis-sten. I ca-an e-expl-" She muttered but the rogue interrupted her. 

"Please do not punish this innocent cat if anything please do punish me." The rogue quickly continued before Hailstar could say anything. "I'am Night and I have come here with news which you ought to know." Hailstar blinked  blankly at Night as if she was seeing something else. 

"Go on tell us then."Hailstar finally replied.

"This news is not for all ears." Night warned. 

"Anything I have to know the clan should know too." Hailstar insisted. 

"You don't have to fear me, but even though you are not the only cat that has to be informed. I wish to speak to you, your deputy and two other loyal cats in your clan." Night went on. 

"You are free to say what you have to say." Hailstar agreed. "But what other two cats would you like to speak to?" 

Night stepped away from the patrol and swept a glance over the clan. He stared at Frozenkit for a while and he could help but yelp. 

"Nothing to fear little one, do you want to show me to your mother." Frozenkit hesitated but was encouraged as Littlepounce, his mother's sister nudged him on.

 He struggled to get free from the group of his clanmates when he finally did his instincts showed him straight to his mother and he brought her into the clearing with Night, Hailstar and Nightfern. Whitefrost followed him and bowed low to Hailstar. 

"Ah yes your the one, but I can't quite find the second cat that has to be spoken to." Night meowed in his hypnotising accent. 

"There are a few cats on a hunting patrol they should be back soon." Hailstar informed him. "If your OK to wait." 

"We don't have all the time in the world but a bit of waiting won't hurt." Night explained. 

The clan dispersed into their den's and Whitefrost herded Frozenkit and his siblings into the nursery. "Now stay here ill send Littlepounce to take care of you."

"But!" Pebblekit, Sunkit and Mothkit exclaimed. 

Frozenkit didn't argue as he didn't want to be near the new mysterious new  cat. Especially that he seemed to look deep down into his soul when he had asked for his mother. Frozenkit didn't want to listen to his mother and siblings arguing so he curled up in his nest without the warmth and safe feeling of his littermates. His eyelids slowly closed and he slipped into sleep. A bright light flashed infront of him. And his eyes flooded open. But instead of seeing the re assuring brambles and the milky scent of the nursery around him he was in a crisp but warm forest. He took in this sight as he had never been outside the camp and had been wishing for so long to leave it. A black cat just like Night slipped infront of him. 

"Hello?" Frozenkit trembled. 

"This is not your path little one." The new cat's raspy voice raked his ears. 

"Look into the night stars and you will find your path" The cat continued.

 Suddenly the floor underneath him collapsed and darkness...
