The elder deputy Tawnyspots has one wish, and that is to raise kits. But, having no mate, he asks the younger warrior Willowpelt if she is willing to carry his kits. Willowpelt, feeling pity for the old cat, agrees without much consideration with the offer.
Tawnyspots never lives to see his kits, and Willowpelt decides she made the wrong choice. Now she is stuck with the kit.
When Darrkit is born, Willowpelt doesn't care for him. He doesn't care though, he has Redtail and Swiftbreeze. Until tragedy hits, and Redtail is left depressed and greiving, while Swiftbreezeis dead. Willowpelt has now stopped feeding him altogether.
Desperate, the young kit it taken to WindClan in hopes for a better future.
This is the story of Darklily, the cat Darkstripe might have been.
