Lightningbolt was in the nursery, nursing her last kit, Lightkit, all of her other kits died of greencough. She watches Lightkit bounce around the nursery. Lightkit is only a moon old. Lightningbolt smiles at Lightkit.
"Mommy, can I please go outside of the nursery today?" asked Lightkit.
"Fine, but remember, you must stay inside camp!" yelled Lightningbolt after Lightkit.
"I will!" said Lightkit over her shoulder.
Lightkit makes it outside and she looks around at the camp. She sees a stump at the center of camp, this must be Highstump, she thought to herself.
A golden she cat walks over to her.
"Hello!" said Lightkit, excitedly.
"Hello, you must be Lightningbolt's kit. You are a very special kit, young one." said the she cat. "My name, is Goldensun."
"Why am I so special?" Lightkit asked. "Also, my name is" she gets cut off by Goldensun.
"Lightkit, yes, I remember your name only because I was nearby when you were named, and you are very lucky because you did not get sick like your siblings, Applekit, Skykit, and Dawnkit. They all died a few sunrises after you were born. I bet your wondering how I know all of this."
Lightkit nods.
"Well, Lightkit, I am LightningClan's medicine cat."
"What does a medicine cat do?" asks Lightkit.
"Well, I help cure sick cats as best as I can, it does not always go as I hope."
"Oh... just like it did with my siblings..."
"Yeah, I did all I could, but StarClan wanted them back..." said Goldensun.
Lightkit looks at the ground.
"Do you want a tour of the camp?" Goldensun asked looking at Lightkit.
Lightkit nods.
Goldensun looks around and spots a red apprentice. "Redpaw, are you busy right now?"
"I was going to go hunting, but if you need me to do something I will." said Redpaw walking over.
"Yes, Redpaw, can you show Lightningbolt's kit around camp?" Goldensun said.
"Sure! I always wanted to do this, but since I am the youngest of all apprentices, I never got to do it, because my litter was the last before Lightningbolt's." said Redpaw excitedly.
Lightkit smiles.
"Come on Lightkit! I will show you around camp!"
Lightkit follows Redpaw to all of the different places in camp. Once Redpaw was done, Lightkit was tired, and went back to the nursery. Redpaw went hunting.
What none of LightningClan knew is that the Twolegs were getting closer to their camp, and getting ready to destroy the camp.
