Chapter one~ The beginning of the end.

"What in the name of the Dark Forest is wrong with you?!"

Irispaw staggered up. Her sister, Murderpaw, stood, crouched down, her white and silver coat stained with blood.

Tears streamed down Irispaw's face. "You're not the cat you once were! You changed your name, your ways, everything!"

Murderpaw growled, unsheathed her long, thorn-sharp claws, and leapt at Irispaw, aiming for her throat.

Her name is Irisflower. She knows what you are thinking. Who is Murderpaw? Why is she fighting with her? Well all your questions will be answered soon if you listen to her story. Let's go back six moons ago, just when she arrived in DuskClan.

"Iriskit! Wake up!"

Iriskit opened her dark green eyes. Her sister, Rainkit, stood above her. Rainkit's fluffy white and silver coat complimented her bright amber eyes.

"Slashkit, Happykit, Stripekit, she opened her eyes!"

Slashkit, a dark red tom with black slashes and his tabby sister, Stripekit, bounded over. They were followed by a jet black she-cat named Happykit.

"Finally! A tom to play with in the nursery!" mewed Slashkit. "You are a tom, aren't you?"

Iriskit shook her head. 

Rainkit stepped on Slashkit's tail. "That ball of cream fluff is a she-cat!" she squealed.

After a moment, Rainkit and Slashkit burst into laughter, falling onto the mossy floor of the small cave that made up the nursery.

Iriskit turned to her mother, Swanwing, for support. But she was dissapointed when she saw the pure white she-cat was asleep.

"Hey, let's fight!" Slashkit said, pulling Rainkit to his side. "You EmberClan scum!" he hissed to the remaining kits. "DuskClan is the greatest!"

"No fair!" squeaked Stripekit. "We got the newborn!"

It’s not my fault I opened my eyes so late! Iriskit thought.

Rainkit squealed and pounced on Iriskit, bouncing on her. Slashkit hurled himself at Happykit and Stripekit, knocking them over with his huge paws.

Iriskit struggled under Rainkit's weight.  You’re a warrior of Duskclan, the clan of the lush forests.  Iriskit quickly thought. . I can take these cats!

Iriskit leapt into the air, twisting herself around and landing on Rainkit's back. Rainkit squealed and shook Iriskit off.

Slashkit had thrown a shouting Happykit and Stripekit off his stomach and was now coming closer and closer to Iriskit his tiny, yet sharp, claws extended.

"Well, you are quite the little warriors, aren't you?"

A tall, pure white, and fluffy tom stalked into the den. His eyes were piercing yellow and his muzzle, covered with scars from battles many moons ago.

"Talonstar!" All the kits shouted. Happykit and Stripekit bounced at his paws while Slashkit unsheathed his claws and stood up straight, trying to look big and powerful.

Rainkit climbed onto Talonstar's back, jumping and pawing at his fur. There was something about Rainkit and Talonstar's fur and body shaped that matched so much. Iriskit couldn't put her paw on it.

Swanwing awoke from her nap and padded up to Iriskit, whispering in her ear, "It must be nice to meet your father for the first time, hm?"
