Sandpool's Story

The four clans of the forest, ValleyClan, OrchidClan, MistClan, and OakClan, have been at peace for many moons. But when a drought hits the forest, and prey is scarce, tentions rise between the clans.

Five cats gathered around Cinderstar, a soild black she-cat, a white and silver tabby she-cat, a pale ginger she-cat, a blue-grey tom, and a silver tabby she-kit. 
When Cinderstar woke up, she glanced at the cats, stopping at the small kit. She began to say something to the kit, but she couldn't. She tried to not focus on the small kit and focus on the other cats. Hollyfern, Silverpelt, Gingerflower, Moonfur, She thought, recgonizing the cats. She realized something about the cats, these cats are in StarClan.
"Why am I in StarClan? I have eight lives left!" Cinderstar panicked. Her eyes shifted from cat to cat, not including the small kit. 
The kit was the first one to speak. She slowly padded over to Cinderstar, making eye contact with the sleek leader. She curled up next to Cinderstar's leg. 
"Your not dead, we need to deliver a message." The kit purred. "A prophecy." Cinderstar tilted her head. She wrapped her fluffy grey tail around the kit, trying to keep her warm. She heard the little kit purr faintly. 
"The clans are in danger, a group of cats from ValleyClan can save the clans." Hollyfern mews, as she raises to her paws. Her emerald eyes met Cinderstar's.
"The clans are in danger, you may not see it, but they are. You decide if the clans will be saved or not." Silverpelt mews sternly. Her sun yellow eyes showed her seriousness. 
"You need to leave before Leafbare. Or else, the clans will be in even more danger." Gingerflower, the old ValleyClan medcat purred. Her pale ginger tail swayed. 
"I accept, I'll send them the cats on a mission." Cinderstar mews, sitting confidently, facing the StarClan cats. She looks down at the small kit, who fell asleep on her fluffy tail.
"Good. Shall we deliver the prophecy?" Hollyfern asked the other StarClan cats. The StarClan cats nodded their head, except the small kit, who was fast asleep. "Gingerflower, you were a medcat, you can tell it." 
"After the moon rises, the waves will rise, the sand will sink, lightning will strike on the doe in morning light." Gingerflower mews wisely. Her eyes flamed with seriousness. Cinderstar met her eyes, hoping it would help her relax after that. 
"I think it's time I go." Cinderstar mews, rising to her paws. The kit bounded behind her as she walked. Cinderstar bent over to the kit. 
"Ivykit, do you know who these cats are?" Cinderstar purrs to Ivykit. 
"Don't look for them, they're not born yet." Someone mews. Cinderstar looks behind and sees Gingerflower, and Moonfur. The blue-grey tom steps forward. "They're unborn kits. But some are warriors, queens, apprentices, that's for you to find out." He mews, moving toward Cinderstar. He touches noses with her, and pads away. 
"Cinderstar, tell Feathermist that I said she can do it, tell her to believe in herself." Gingerflower mews, "Tell my daughter I miss her." Gingerflower adopted Feathermist when she was a kit, and raised her ever since. Gingerflower inspired Feathermist to be a medcat.  Cinderstar nodded, and continued walking away. 
When she woke up, she was back in her den. She stretched on the moss, and left the den. She padded toward the medicine den, to see Feathermist. 
"Feathermist?" She mewed as she arrived at the door. "I've recieved a prochecy from StarClan." Feathermist looked up, and gave Cinderstar a look, saying what is it?
"After the moon rises, the waves will rise, the sand will sink, lightning will strike on the doe in morning light." Cinderstar recited. Feathermist dipped her head. 
"Gingerflower says to believe in yourself, and she misses you." Cinderstar purred before leaving the den. 
==Chapter 1 Sandkit's P.O.V==
Darkness surrounded the pale ginger kit, as she squirmed in the hot, cramped, space. She had been trapped in the darkness for many moons. Her siblings crawled around her eager to leave the dark place. They knew today was the day. The day they would leave the dark space. 
They felt their mother push, as they scooted forward. One by one, the kits broke out of the dark place. Until there was one left, the runt. She was far back compared to where her sisters were. She felt her mother push multiple times, but she only scooted forward a little bit each time. 
After an hour or two, the small kit squeezed her way out. A fresh breeze hit her, as the medicine cat yelled at her father to come pick her up. The tom scooped up the small kit and licked her sleek pelt. 
"Dovefeather she's so small I don't think she will survive." A voice mewed, the small kit guessed it was the medicine cat. 
"Feathermist, will she die?" Another voice mewed back, but this voice was sweet.
"I don't know. But this is in the hands of StarClan. I hope she will make it." The other voice mewed again.
"Dovefeather, I guess we will only have four kits, instead of five." A deeper voice purred. 
The tiny kit squirmed, reacting to hearing the cats talk about her. She tried to suckle on her mom's stomach, but she couldn't find a place. Something pushed her closer, allowing her to suckle. 
"Let's name them Shadowmoon." The sweet voice purred. She felt a lick on her head. "This one will be named Sandkit, in honor of my sister Sandfur." 
"This one, in honor of her light brown pelt and white stripes, will be Doekit." The manly voice mewed. Sandkit guessed it was Shadowmoon. She felt her mother's tail wrap around them. 
"This one will be named Dawnkit." The sweet voice mewed, she guessed this was her mother Dovefeather. 
"This one, will be named Ravenkit, because of his black pelt, and in honor of my dad, Ravenflight." Shadowmoon mewed. "One more." 
"And the last kit will be Lynxkit. In honor of Lynxfoot, the deceased deputy. And her long ears." Dovefeather purred as she repositioned herself. Sandkit stopped suckling and laid in her mother's fluffy tail. 
"How much longer?" Dovefeather mewed, as she moved her leg over Sandkit. 
"Until sunrise I would say. I'll check on her at sunrise, we should get back to the nursery, and out of the woods. Shadowmoon, you should go back to MistClan." The unrecognized cat mewed. 
"Feathermist, what will we do with these kits? I don't want to give them away. I want to raise my kits. But how am I going to explain this to the clan?" 
"I recommend telling your mother about this. I could give you parsley and we could give them to Shadowmoon and they could be raised in MistClan." The cat explained. Sandkit guessed this was Feathermist. 
"Absolutely not. I'm not telling my mother. She's the leader!" Doverfeather exclaimed. 
"Dovefeather, what if you were honest? Telling the clan they're my kits." Shadowmoon mewed putting out that idea. Sandkit felt another sleek tail wrap around her and her siblings. 
"Then I would have confessed to breaking the Warrior Code!" Dovefeather panicked. 
"Then I'll go at sunrise, to your clan, and request to be a warrior. Cinderstar, your mother would let me join right?" Shadowmoon mewed. 
"I think so. I'll stay in a bush for the night, and at Sunrise return to the clan. Shadowmoon, will you stay with me?" Dovefeather mewed. 
Sandkit felt her self get scooped off her mother's tail. She squirmed as a cat held her by her tiny scruff. Her tiny legs brushed against leaves as the cat and her made their way into a bush. She felt the cat lower her down on the dirt. She tried to suckle her mother's stomach, but once again couldn't. She felt her mother push her up so she could suckle. Then she felt her mother put her leg over her again. 
She heard her mother's soft words in her ear. "It's ok Sandkit, I love you." 
==Chapter 2 Sandkit's P.O.V==
Sandkit felt a nudge on her back. She squirmed around, and tried to get back into the same position she was in. 
"Has Shadowmoon gone?" A voice mewed. Sandkit could tell it was Feathermist, the she-cat who helped her mom last night. 
"Yeah, he left awhile ago." Her mother's sweet voice mewed in response. She nudged Sandkit closer to her, making sure she's in reach to suckle. 
"Well, I think she's going to make it. It's a true miracle. But she's very small." Feathermist purred.
"Should we go back to camp?" Dovefeather asked. Her tail wrapped around her five kits.
"No, I told Cinderstar to come to the boarder right after sunrise. I think there's a bush that we can hide you guys in for now." Feathermist responded.
One of the she-cats picked up Sandkit by the scruff, and started padding toward where ever they were going. She let out a small mew, as she dangled in the she-cat's mouth.
She was finally placed on the ground, she squirmed around, bumping into her siblings, looking for her mother. She felt something wrap around her, it was big and fluffy, her mother's tail. She rested on the tail, feeling relieved. 
"Cinderstar, your here!" She heard Feathermist exclaim. Sandkit felt her mother's tail wrap around tighter. 
"Greetings Feathermist." She heard a sweet voice say, almost exactly like her mother's, except it sounded older. "What brings us here?"
"It's about your daughter, Dovefeather. It's serious." Feathermist responded. 
"What's wrong, is she hurt?" 
"No, but she broke the Warrior Code."
"Did she kill someone? I don't care if she's my daughter, I will still exile her." 
"No, it's not that. She, well," 
"Feathermist, just say it." 
Sandkit listened to the two cats. She felt the fluffy tail unwrap around her. She huddled against her sisters as they awaited her return. 
"I had kits, with Shadowmoon from MistClan." Dovefeather mewed. "There in that bush, five of them." 
"Dovefeather, I don't know what to say. We can't give them away. The queens in the nursery are either expecting kits, that won't be delievered for atleast another moon. And the other queens, their kits are atleast five moons. And we can't have any warriors held back, especially with leafbare coming, even though its Newleaf." 
"I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was thinking." Dovefeather mewed shamefully. "Can we just say we found them in the forest, with no mother, and say we gave me borage leaves so I could produce milk?"  
"No, that won't work." Feathermist mewed. 
"Just don't tell the clan who the father is. They can speculate, but don't tell." Cinderstar mewed. "Now let me see the kits." 
Sandkit felt a cat lift her by the scruff. She squirmed in the air, as she found herself dangling from the cat's mouth once again. She was placed on top of something fluffy, she guessed it was a tail. 
"They're beautiful," Cinderstar purred. "Now come on, we're going to camp." Sandkit squealed as a cat picked her up. She dangled from their mouth, as they walked a distance. She felt the cat stop walking after they traveled for awhile. 
"I don't want to go back to camp! I can't! Not with my half-clan kits!" Dovefeather mewed, sounding tense. 
"Come on, you'll be fine." Feathermist purred. The cats kept walking to camp. 
After awhile of walking, Sandkit was laid onto something soft, not like the ground she had been born on. 
"Welcome home my kits," Her mother's sweet voice purred,"Welcome to ValleyClan." 
==Chapter 3 Sandkit's P.O.V==
Two moons later...
Sandkit cuddled against her mother's soft pelt. She pushed herself up against her siblings. Her tiny tail wrapped around her small paws. She laid there restless. 
She got up, and decided to visit the elders, mostly to see if Peachfeather was awake. The elder often had trouble sleeping, and the two of them would sit outside the nursery on those restless nights. 
As she padded out of the den, Peachfeather stood infront of her den arguing with another cat. Sandkit slowly padded over to Peachfeather. The cat she was arguing with was a flame colored tom. 
"Peachfeather?" She mewed. Peachfeather looked over at her. She got up, and picked Sandkit up by the scruff. Peachfeather swiftly walked over to the nursery. She lowered her at the nursery entrance. 
"Sandkit. Don't come back to the elder's den, unless you're with your siblings. I don't want you getting hurt." Peachfeather snapped, and before Sandkit could reply, Peachfeather was gone. She hung her head, and quietly entered the nursery. She burrowed into her mother's tail, and slowly fell asleep. 
"Sandkit wake up!" A cheery voice mewed excitedly. Sandkit opened one eye, and there was Doekit, and Lynkkit. She swiped her paw at her siblings, causing them both to squeal. 
"Hey! Don't swipe at us!" Lynxkit growled. Sandkit opened both eyes, and sat up. She looked around and saw her two of her siblings, but not Dawnkit and Ravenkit. 
"Where's Ravenkit and Dawnkit?" Sandkit mewed, stretching her paws on the moss. 
"Come on! You'll see!" Lynxkit nagged Sandkit. Sandkit gave her a glare, and got up and followed Lynxkit and Doekit. When they came to the clearing, she saw Ravenkit, Dawnkit, and Ashpaw at the base of an oak tree. She looked at Ravenkit, who was staring directly at Ashpaw. 
"Ok Ravenkit, climb the tree to the third branch from the ground." Ashpaw smirked. He swayed his tail back and forth, mocking Ravenkit. 
Ravenkit glared at Ashpaw. He sat up, and mocked Eaglekit. 
"No. I'm not climbing the tree." He mewed confidently.
"Are you scared Ravenkit?" Ashpaw sneered. He swayed his tail faster.
"No!" Ravenkit mewed back, fear took over his voice. 
"Then go!" Ashpaw demanded. 
Ravenkit got up and walked away. Ashpaw hissed at Ravenkit's siblings. They scrambled away, and headed back toward the nursery. 
Sandkit curled into a ball, and slept on a thick sheet of moss that was against a rock. When she woke up, the dusk hunting patrol was back. She padded out of the den, and sat at the entrance. 
"Brackenpelt, get three cats to go search east of the boarder near OrchidClan for Ravenkit. Owlmoon, get three cats to search west of the boarder near MistClan. Lilyheart, get three cats to search north of the boarder toward rouge territory. Treestripe, get three cats to search south of the boarder near OakClan. Rosepetal, try to go comfort Dovefeather, but get the rest of her kits." Cinderstar mewed. Sandkit entered the nursery, and something grabbed her by her scruff. She squealed, as she dangled from the cats mouth.
