SUGARCLAN (being rewritten)

[The Stars]

Future (the kit) sat in his nest. It was snowing. Every other cat was asleep. While Future was sitting there, he saw a star wandering around the camp. He got up to follow it.

The star started to go further away, leading him out of camp.

"Uhm, hello..?" Future mewed. No answer.

The star went to the middle of the thunderpath, sitting on the yellow line as monsters sped past it. Future couldn't cross that! But, as a monster sped by, the star turned into a dull, green she-cat cat with stars spangling her fur.

"You must tell no one but the medicine cat." The cat said.

Future stepped back. "..What?"

"A bad future lies ahead. Cats will be lost. Be ready."

As the next monster drove by, the strange cat disappeared.

Well, now, Future was curious about what it would feel like to be on the yellow line, and started to pad across the thunderpath. As he walked to the line, a monster ran straight for him. Future screeched, and then.. woke up. It was still the middle of the night, so the whole camp was still asleep. Future snuck onto the tall rock, and watched as the stars sparkled in the sky.

"The stars.." Future meowed.

The next morning, Future awoke, still on the tall rock, while BerryStar waited patiently beside him.

"Welcome back to the real world, Future. You must've been sleep walking last night." BerryStar purred in amusement

"Yeah, sleepwalking.." Future murmured, before getting up and walking towards the medicine den.

ChocolateTail was sorting out herbs. Vanilla was helping.

ChocolateTail: "Don't be mouse-brained, Vanilla. That's clearly the wrong pile! You're my apprentice, act like it!" ChocolateTail meowed in frustration.

Vanilla almost snarled from ChocolateTail's meows of dissatisfaction.

Vanilla: "Sorry, ChocolateTail-- Oh, hey Future!" Vanilla's eyes sparkled as she saw the kit.

Future was silent for a second.

Future: "Uh." 

................

Future: "can i talk to ChocolateTail for a second?"

Vanilla: "Of course." Vanilla padded out of the medicine den, glaring at ChocolateTail with slight disdain.

Future made sure that Vanilla was out of sight. "So, uhm.. I had a weird dream.. and.."

ChocolateTail immediately looked worried. "Was it a bad dream? I can see if I have any herbs that can sooth you before you sleep!" 

Future: "No, actually. There was a Starclan cat.. and... she told me to tell you, and you ONLY, that cats would be lost.. she didn't specify what from, but it.. doesn't sound too good."

ChocolateTail immediately thought back to one of her dreams. Leaf-bare..

"Thank you for telling me, Future." CholateTail purred. "Could you call Vanilla back in here? We need to finish sorting herbs, and.. maybe you could help, just.. to take your mind off of things."

"Okay.."

The other kits were running around the nursery.

Gizmo: "I'm so cool, tomorrow I'm gonna be an apprentice!" He mewed proudly.

Muddle: "WOAH! That's awesome!"

Lavender: "Yeah, but you won't have time to play anymore! Your mentor will stick around you like the mud that sticks to Muddle's pelt! You'll have to do WORK!" The purple kit continued, "Plus, with leaf-bare also starting tomorrow, your paws will be buried under the snow, and the other apprentices will probably put thorns in your nest! AND, they don't have pre-made nests, you'll have to nidificate!"

Gizmo: "Yeah yeah, whatever that means. I'm a hardworking cat! Redwing said that I was the bravest kit here!"

Emmy: "She probably said that just so you'd feel good about yourself, stop gasconading!"

Gizmo: "GASP. How dare you! RAHH!" Gizmo pounced onto Emmy, and they started to wrestle and tussle with each other. 

Redwing watched the kits in amusement, purring. These kits can be annoying, but at least they aren't insane.. If only Moss could see how they're doing now.. The kits were all yowling and cheering for Emmy. Ugh, but their yowls are a cacophony.
