Life of Sparklepaw
by nine-year-old Scribb
Chapter #1
A grey-blue she-kit peered though the mist. She could see the faint outline of a cat walking toward her. Then the sun appeared, shining on the remaining mist that was still one paw-hight high. The sun shone brightly, showing a yong grey-blue tom. A warrior of another clan. the she-cat thought. Besides her loilty to her clan, she felt something tingle in her heart when she looked at him.
"What do you want?" She hissed.
"We are closer then you think." The yong tom said soothingly. His body slowly fadded out in the growing mist.
"Wait! I want to know more!" She hissed running after him. "Wait!"
She awoke in the warm walls of the nersory. She pressed her muzzle against her mothers side. She streched and padded out side. She was five and three quarter moons old, so she could go out of the nersury unsupervised.
"Sparklekit!" hissed a voice. Sparklekit spun around to see Whiskerkit, her rival.
"Whiskerkit, What are you doing out here alone? You're only moons old!"
"Stop treating me like you're my mentor!" he hissed.
"Neh, Neh, Neh, Neh, Ney, Ney, Ny." Sparklekit teased.
"What's going on here?" asked Midnightflower, Whiskerkits mother.
"Sparklekit's out here without being sooper-vised!" Whiskerkit taddled.
"Well she can do that, tomarow night she's going to be an Apprentice!"
Whiskerkit frowned, and went back into the nersery. Sparklekit dipped her head in thanks. Midnightflower dipped her head before padding back into the nersery. Sparklekit watched her go, and padded toward the entrance of the Worriors' den.
"I wonder who will be my mentor." Sparklekit murmured, then yawned. It was almost dawn. She should be getting back to the nersery. Sparklekit imagened going into the nersery and fell into a deep sleep.
Sparklekit awoke outside the Worriors den. She felt emmberesed that she fell asleep there then in the nersery. She scrambled up and padded to Raven's den. Raven is a tom medicen cat. He was one of Sparklekit's closest friends.
"Raven? You here?" Sparklekit called through the echoing den made out of tree roots.
"He's out collecting herbs." Replied Moon, the medicen cat Apprentice. Moon was one of three cats sent by Starclan that was born in Starclan to gaurd Thunderfoot - Thunderpaw then - when he was just an Apprentice. (ok i feel like i should explain; the "main series" that this was supposed to be a special edition of followed the main character Thunderpaw/Thunderfoot. it was the stereotypical "outsider to leader" story, except he was from a different clan originally and fell in love with a cat from a different clan, etc. etc. also, the four clans are ones i made up, and i think they are "lightningclan", "snowclan", and then some clans for fire and water. i don't remember. anyways, back to the story!) Raven had fallen in love with Moon yet Medicen cats couldn't have kits. Sparklekit nodded.
"Where's Comet and Star?" she asked. Comet and Star were the other two cats sent. Comet had started clan life as an Apprentice yet now he's a Brave Worrior. Star started clan life as a Worrior yet now he has joined the Elders. Moon, Comet, and Star are siblings.
"Comet's enjoying the sun while it lastests, Star's gwnawing on rabbit bones while gossiping with Lonfur."
Sparklekit nodded again and serched for Comet. She spotted him talking with Thunderfoot. She bounded toward them. It's easy to find him because of his comet blue fur. She thought.
"Hi Comet. Hi Thunderfoot" She meowed.
"Hi sparklekit. I hear you're going to be an apprentice tonight." Thunderpaw comented.
Sparklekit sat up proud and was about to say something, but something burst into the clearing.
"A Twoleg!" Grasspaw spat. Grasspaw was Crookedstar's son (aka the evil leader after the good leader (*cough*bluestar copy*cough* died), and although his name is "Grass"paw he looks just like his father. Sparklekit has heard many stories about the power-thirsty cat, and how Thunderfoot saved the clan by killed him out of greif because Crookedstar killed Thunderfoot's foster mother Dottedflower. Grasspaw's nothing like Crookedstar. She thought. Though she had never lived to see him - which she was glad - from stories she could tell. She ran towared the nersery and coward on the ground. She felt a pelt and looked up to see her big brother comferting her. Sparklekit knew that he would fight all of Starclan for her. A rule of the clan was siblings about the same age had to become Apprentices together, so he had delaid becoming an Apprentice for a moon.
"It'll be okay." His soothing mew sounded by her ear. Suddenly a yowl of pain filled the air unlike any cats. Sparklekit peeked out of the hanging vines and saw the twoleg on the ground, dead. "Stay close." her brother warned.
"Stop treating me like a kit!" She growled. Then relizing she was a kit and he was just concerned about her She meowed, "Sorry..."
He nodded.
"What'll we do?" Frostpaw's high pitched mew came from the crowd.
"With the body? Easy. Leave it out for the ravens'!" Sparklekit turned to see Oakpelt walking toward everyone with Speklednose folowing him. Oakpelt is leader but he hasn't jorneyed to moonstone yet to earn his nine lives as well as the "Star" in his name. He was right, to. if you leave a dead body out in the middle of camp ravens' will take it. Oakpelt gustured with his tail for Sparklekit and her brother to follow him.
Sparkleit hurried after her brother on the high rock.
Oakpelt had no need to call the clan, as everyone had gathered already.
"Cats of my clan." He began. "We have two cats who will be named as Apprentices." He put his chin on Sparklekits brothers sholder. "By the powers of Starclan, Shine down on this kit and make him an Apprentice! Until he joins the worriors he will be named Twistedpaw!" The name suited him as her brother had his right front-paw twisted facing him.
"Lightningcoat, you havn't had an Apprentice yet so I hope you'll pass down everything you learned from Pellowpelt to him." (lightningcoat was thunderfoot's bff, but i think some drama happened or something and now they're not friends anymore??) Twistedpaw padded calmly down highrock and when he passed Sparklekit, She saw unhideable exsitment. He had waited a moon for this. Oakpelt put his chin on Sparklekits sholder. "By the powers of Starclan, Shine down on this kit and make her an Apprentice! Until you have joined the Worriors, you shall be named Sparklepaw! Thunderfoot, you havn't had an Apprentice yet so I hope you'll pass down everything I taught you to her." Sparklepaw scrambled down and toched noses with Thunderfoot.
"I'm so glad you're my mentor." She whispered. She looked at Comet, who looked crushed.
"Sparklepaw! Twistedpaw! Sparklepaw! Twistedpaw!" The crowd chanted.
"Here, let me show you the best places to sleep you two." Thunderfoot offered.
"I can show my own Apprentice where to sleep!" Lightningcoat hissed.
"Any ways, come." Thunderfoot mewed as Lightningcoat and Twistedpaw slunk into darkness. "I found it good to sleep where there's more tree cover, And far from the entrance. Like... Here!" Thunderfoot mewed pointing his muzzle to a dry patch of grass. "Use leaves, moss, grass and twigs for beding."
Thunderfoot padded out and Sparklepaw closed her eyes wishing she was in the warm nersery and not going on dangerus jerneyes in the future. Then she remembered Thunderfoots words: "Every cat counts." And her mother's words.
"Every paw-step is the start of an adventure." Sparklepaw felt breathing and she opened one eye to see Twistedpaw laying by her. "Goodnight brother." She whispered.
