Prologue

An orange kit padded through a muddy forest, her eyes wide with terror and excitement. Though she had no idea where she was, the kit smiled, until she heard a very, very dark meow.

 

"Welcome, Marshkit," The dark meow came from a bush.

 

Marshkit, named after Marshstar, spun around, the orange fur on her back rising, her eyes narrowing with slight curiousity. "Who is that? Show yourself!" The young kit squeaked.

 

A black tom emerged from the bush, his eyes fixed on the small kit that stood in front of him. His fur was flat, his eyes calm. "Im Blackhowl." He dipped his head.

 

Though Marshkit was young, she growled. "I dont trust you."

 

"Why not, Marshkit?" Blackhowl meowed, weaving around the young she-kit, his pelt brushing hers.

 

"Just..because." Marshkit stepped back.

 

"Do you want to be a good warrior?" Blackhowl stopped, looking into Marshkit's eyes.

 

Marshkit was locked in his powerful gaze. She began to feel lightheaded and dizzy. "Yes," She meowed.

 

"I can help you with that." Blackhowl meowed with a slight grin.

 

Marshkit looked at her paws. She didnt know where she was, or how to get back. All she knew, was if she didnt say yes to his offer, she would regret it forever.

 

The shivering orange she-cat swallowed, shifting her paws. "Okay." She meowed.

 

"Great." Blackhowl smiled, and Marshkit was drawn to the twinkle in his eyes. Then he touched his muzzle to her head and everything went black, though his dark voice was heard one last time.

 

"We will start tomorrow."

 

 

 

Chapter 1.

A paw prodded Starkit's side. The light gray she-kit opened her eye. "What is it Marshkit?" She asked.

 

"I, uh, had a dream.." Marshkit shifted her paws, staring at the ground.

 

Starkit, curious, pushed onto her haunches, careful not to disturb her mother, Mistylake.

 

"About what?"

 

"Well, you see, there was this..this cat, and well, he-"

 

"What are you guys doing?" Mistylake sat up, gazing at her kits.

 

Starkit spun around. "Well, uh, that is, we were..talking about mossball." Starkit smiled weakly, throwing a glance in Marshkit's direction.

 

"Uh huh," Mistylake narrowed her eyes. "Well, ill be in the clearing." She added, exiting the den.

 

Starkit heaved a huge sigh, turning her blue gaze to her sister once again. They were filled with curiousity.

 

"So, the cat?" Starkit asked.

 

Marshkit looked at her. "Cat?" She echoed. "Oh, right. I was in a forest." She wrinkled her nose. "A muddy, dirty, smelly one, and the cat came out of nowhere. He-he offered me training, im pretty sure, to become a good warrior. I..wanted to refuse, but i couldnt."

 

Starkit listened as her siste told her about the dream, her ice blue eyes never moving from her sisters. Her eyes filled with understanding for her sister, and pure love. She rested her tail on Marshkit's shoulder.

 

"Listen, you did the right thing." She meowed softly. "Go train with him. You might learn something useful."

 

Marshkit's face flushed with relief and gratitude. "Thank you, Starkit." She purred, licking her sister's ear before padding from the nursery.

 

After a few mintutes, Starkit padded out as well. The sleek gray she-kit slipped over to where her mother was sitting with her tail wrapped around her paws.

 

"Wheres Fireclaw?" Starkit asked.

 

"Probably on patrol, dear." Mistylake purred. "He'll be back soon."

 

Starkit looked around. She recognized the white fur of Snowtuft as she slipped from her den. Starkit yowled in delight and bounded to her great aunt.

 

"Hi, Snowtuft!" Starkit purred, kneading the ground.

 

"Hi, Starkit." Snowtuft smiled, purring, as she bent to give the kit a lick on the head.

 

Starkit smiled. She admired the older medicine cat for her work and dedication. She liked to watch and help her sort herbs, and had soem interest in becoming her apprentice.

 

"Snowtuft!" Mistylake yowled across the clearing.

 

Snowtuft and Starkit padded over to Mistylake. As Mistylake and Snowtuft exchanged a warm greeting, Starkit looked around for her sister. She saw Marshkit, laying beside the nursery, eyes shut.

 

She was asleep.

Chapter 2.

 Marshkit reared, flinging her tail around her paws. as she did, the she-cat lost her balance and tumbled backward.

 

"Mouse-dung!" She spat.

 

"Your almost there, Marshkit." Came the deep rumble of Blackhowl. He emerged into the muddy clearing.

 

"Almost?" Marshkit mewed, rearing again. "Right, so falling is almost?" She fell, shaking her head.

 

Blackhowl's tail flicked, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Try spreading your legs farther apart." He meowed.

 

Marshkit nodded, rearing, spreading her legs farther this time as
