Moonpaw(Warrior Fanfiction)

*Edited*Chapter 3

"Dreaming?" Moonkit squeaked, excited and confused. "In Starclan?"

"Yes, my dear kit. I have an important message for you. The Claw of the Moon will protect the Sun from Blackness." She watched as the grey warrior faded away, but she still had so many questions.

"Wait! Who are you? What is this? Will I go back to my nest?" She suddenly blurted all the questions out at once.

"Only time will tell." The misty warrior faded away, and Moonkit was back under her mother's pelt again, and the warm pelt. She had no idea what happened, What does she mean The Claw of the Moon will protect the Sun from Blackness? She decided to forget it all, what harm could it do?

She peeked outside the warm pelt, it was dawn and all the cats were awake, while Skylight was assigning the patrols. Blackkit, Ashkit and Ravenheart were asleep, but Moonkit could not fall asleep any longer. She let out a big yawn and stood up, waking the whole nest up.

"Moonkit, why did you wake us up?" Ravenheart meowed sleepily.

"I could not sleep anymore!" Moonpaw squeaked.

"What was that for?" Blackkit moaned.

"Sorry." Moonpaw meowed to her mother.

"That's okay, you know what you've done. Now go out to the clearing, you may be able to find some fun, don't be naughty!" Ravenpaw meowed to Moonkit and fell back asleep, she padded outside to the dawn clearing. The grey cat's words were stuck in her mind.

The Claw of the Moon will protect the Sun from Blackness.

She wished the grey cat never appeared in her dreams, and that she did not meet Starclan. She had heard stories of Starclan, how you received nine lives if you were leader, and the story of Firestar, how he was a kittypet and became leader. She never thought she was going to receive anything from Starclan, surely this was normal for a kit to be welcomed?

"Up early!" Brightpaw meowed.

"Yeah, I couldn't fall asleep." Moonpaw meowed back.

"Well I'm just heading over to the elder's den doing some apprentice duties, do you want to listen to Mottledapple's stories?" Brightpaw asked

"Yes!" Moonkit squeaked excitedly. She followed Brightpaw to the elder's den-like how a kit follows a mother. Moonpaw had never seen Mottledapple, she was the only elder in the clan. She had heard a lot of great stories about how Mottledapple fought badgers twice and ended a battle between Cloudclan.

"Hello! I see you've brought a youn' one!" The elder, Mottledapple meowed. Moonkit could tell he had tons of great stories to tell.

"Yes, here's your herbs, Amberleaf told me you had to eat these." Brightpaw replied.

"Nasty herbs!" He complained while eating the bitter looking herbs. Moonkit watched the herbs slowly being gobbled up and waited patiently for him to finish.

"What would you like to hear youn' one?" Moonkit had so many options, she could ask him absolutely anything.

"Did you ever meet Starclan?" Moonkit asked, curious about what her dream was.

"Once." He replied, even Brightpaw seemed interested. "It was when the Dark Battle had finished and that night I had a dream and a grey warrior, and he told me The Claw of the Moon will protect the Sun from Blackness."

That was the same message I got! Moonpaw though.

"What was the Dark Battle? Moonkit asked as Brightpaw was searching for ticks.

"The Dark Battle." Mottledapple hesitated. "The battle where the clans fought together for no reason, and while we soon realised there was another clan, Darkclan who was trespassing the clan territory, and wanted to destroy the clans."

"Wow." Moonkit shivered. Moonpaw wondered about the Dark Battle. What was it like?

"Is Darkclan still here?" Moonpaw asked, wondering if the horrid clan was still here lurking in the woods, waiting for the right time to attack.

Mottledapple hesitated once more. "We...don't know. None of the clans know, we killed their leader, but we'll never know if the clan still stands." Moonkit felt a cold wind spread through her body, Darkclan could still be roaming the forests. She pushed the thought out of her mind, she was safe in Sunclan, she had warriors to protect her, a deputy, and a leader. Moonkit was safe. "I know you've heard Starclan as well." Mottledapple whispered to Moonkit. How does she know? Moonkit blinked a "yes" at Mottledapple, and the elder whispered to Moonkit once more." Come to me when you are ready."

Moonkit didn't quite understand what Mottledapple meowed but pretended that she did. She was truly confused by this old cat's words, she did not know that this old cat had communication with Starclan.

"Will Darkclan attack us again?" Moonkit meowed, deciding to break the silence so that Brightpaw would not suspect anything, and go on doing her apprentice duties.

"No Moonkit, you don't need to worry about that, we chased them away for good." Mottledapple confirmed to Moonkit, in a confident voice. But what if they are still here? She thought chasing away was not enough, killing was the answer. Just because Darkclan's leader was gone, does not mean the clan was gone, and like Sunclan, a clan was big.

"Who's their leader?" Moonkit asked, willing to know more just in case she ever met the vicious leader.

"He's dead, but his name was Black, and to be more like the other clans, his name changed to Blackstar." The elder replied once again to the many questions Moonkit asked about Darkclan. Blackstar...wonder if Blackkit would ever become a leader, he would get so much hate. She was worried about Blackkit, Blackkit could very much be banished from the clan if his classmates hated him enough.

"Was Blackkit named after him?" Moonkit squeaked again, and it was time for the elder to whisper to the white, blue-eyed kit again, this was only for Brightpaw's ears to hear.

"He was named that for a reason."

HEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry I haven't updated in 2 days, I've just been so busy (Shopping, I know -.-) lately, I will be speeding through Moonkit's kit moons pretty fast, the next one is at when she is two and a half-moons.
