== Prologue ==
She stared down at her paws, the images not going out of her mind. TiberClan betrayed her. Her heart was beating as loud as thunder, as she watched the dark shadows coming closer and closer to the bush she was hiding in. She lapped the three bundles that were sleeping at her paws. Their tiny bodies shivering at the coldness of snow falling on their sensitive pelts. She heard her leader's vicious call. She stared at him from the bushes, his crooked, yellow teeth glinted in the moonlight. She shivered, she wasn't used to this, this cruel treatment. The little lumps mewled ever so silently. Three cats came behind her leader, she saw Nightfang. Nightfang, her best friend, her only friend, she betrayed her. Cinderwing couldn't believe it, even when her clan turned their backs to her. "Greystar have you found her yet?" Nightfang rasped at her leader, "No, not yet Nightfang. But we will find that little ball of mouse-dung." The three shadows slipped away to their camp, she watched her leader coming closer and closer to the bush. Her eyes widened in fear, for the first time ever she was scared of her leader. "Come out dear little Cinderwing," he rasped. What had happened to him? Why was he doing this to her, and her kits, they were just born. She slowly backed away, but her fears came true. She stepped on a leaf. Greystar's head jolted to her bush and he smirked. "I know where you are, oh what a shame it is to do this to you." She sprung out of the bushes onto him, and kicked his belly. She regretted that. Her heart thuds out of her chest as she watched her leader tower over her. He kicked her face, and claws her belly. He scratched her flank and continued his vicious attacks. She stumbled back, her head was spinning, and she was staring to feel dizzy. She collapsed and watched blood pool around her white pelt, it was turning it red. She recalled the good memories of her clan, how all cats would complement her about her sleek pelt, how they would spend time with her. She saw a cat leap from the bushes. She gave a weak smile, her eyes couldn't believe what she saw. It was Sagestripe, her beloved Sagestripe. She looked at his vivid green eyes before blacking out.
She felt herself being dragged to a canopy of trees, she stared after her leader, who was loosing his last life. She smirked weakly and looked up to see Sagestripe carrying her kits and dragging her back to his camp. It wasn't her clan, but a much kinder more caring clan. She stared up at him, "You don't have to do this." He looked down shocked that she was awake, "I don't have to, but I would do anything for you." She smiled again, and gave him a quick lap on the cheek. She was being dragged more into the trees and she finally was in MistClan camp.
"Treefoot, you have to save her, I can't live without her." Cinderwing heard Sagestipe's plea to the medicine cat. She shook her head smiling to herself. Her wounds were still open, and she was loosing so much blood. She knew that she was going to die. This was her destiny, just like every cat had one. She was going to die, StarClan had a reason for every cat's life. A crowd was forming around her, she lifted her head up, no matter how painful it was. She curled her tail around her kits, the three furballs that were laying beside her. Sagestripe came sprinting towards her. "You aren't going anywhere," he meowed frantically. "You are going to watch our kits grow up, and you will always be here with you." he staggered, she could see him swallowing the lump in his throat. She smiled gently at him. "You and I both know I will not survive, StarClan knows what each cat is supposed to do. We all have destiny. You have one and so do I, this is mine, and raising our kits is yours." she murmured softly. "I have one last plea, please take care of my kits." She looked up at the cats that surrounded her. "Take care of them as if they were your own clan." She tiled her head to the pure black kit."This is Eclipsekit, and this is Moonkit." She pointed to the white kit with blotches of black, "This is Drift... Driftkit" Her eyes slowly closed before she was taken away, away to StarClan.
I KNOW THERE ARE SO MANY OF "SHES" BUT I WANTED TO MAKE IT AS MYSTERIOUS AS POSSIBLE NOT THAT MYSTERIOUS BUT WHO CARES
== Chapter 1 ==
"Get off of me Driftkit, you're so heavy!" She heard Ashkit meow. She smirked, "Not unless you say sorry!""Ok, ok I'm sorry," he whined. "Oh stop that whining, get over it." She snapped. In the corner of her eyes she saw Cloudheart chuckling at them. "What?" she snapped, "Come on tell me is there something on my fur?" Cloudtail smiled and shook his head padding away. "What's wrong with him?" He shrugged at her, and looked at the figures approaching behind. She turned and looked at her brothers, Eclipsekit and Moonkit. They never did like Ashkit, and Ashkit never liked them. Moonkit grinned at his sister and bounded towards her halting when he saw Ashkit. He gave him a rude, curt nod and lapped her cheek. "What are you two doing?" He said two as if it were the worst thing possible. "Oh, we were playing TimberCLan versus MistClan, you want to join?" She grinned up at Eclipsekit as he looked at Ashkit doubtfully. "You know what Driftkit? Maplefur said he would tell me a story earlier, You three can play. I'll see you later?" She nodded and stared after him, she didn't look away till Eclipsekit coughed. "What's up with you two? Always playing with each other? Have you forgotten about us Driftkit?" He scoffed and nudges her shoulder. His eyes glinted playfully, and she knew it was on. Driftkit pounced on him and he chucked, "Get off, you are heavy," her eyes widened and she scrambled off. "I am not heavy!" She meowed embarrassed. "I'm kidding, you are just fine Driftkit." She always loved Eclipsekit and Moonkit, they were so supportive even if the other kits would always make fun other. They made her feel like she mattered and she would do anything for them. No one really liked her, she was snappy and cold. But the cats that were her friends knew she wasn't really like that. It was just of how she was bullied by the other kits made her conscious. She didn't want to be mean, it's not like she was born that way, and it was her... destiny. All of her clan hated her for some reason. She never knew why, but they did. She always wanted to curl into a ball and go to sleep forever when they yelled at her. It wasn't her fault, why was everyone always like that?
"She is so weird, why would any cat be her friend?" Driftkit turned to the source of the talking, she saw Pebblekit snickering to Grasskit. She knew those kits were talking about her. Her eyes started burning, did all the cats really think of her that way? What did she do wrong? Why did ever cat hate her? They always pushed her aside, they acted as if they could careless, as if.. as if they wouldn't even care if she got killed by a fox in the most brutal way possible. She glanced up at the bright sky. She stared at the white clouds slowly moving. StarClan would lead her to the right path. They would lead her to the right destiny and she could feel it in her bones. She slowly padded to the nursery, her bushy tail dragging slowyl in the soil of MistClan camp. She glanced at Grasskit and snapped her look away. "What's the matter Driftkit?" She smiled at the voice, her mother Amberfall padding towards her. "Nothing, I'm just tired," she lied smoothly. Her mother's warm gaze bored into her, she felt a little guilty for lying.She turned her body away and stretched her neck to look outside the nursery. Sagestripe the deputy was staring at her, he stared at her longingly. She felt like she knew him, but she didn't, other than knowing he is the deputy. She grinned at him, and he snapped out of his trance.
== Chapter 2 ==
The sky was getting darker and darker until it turned black. She still couldn't get the words she heard the she-kits saying earlier. She sighed and let her head drop. She couldn't let that get to her. The warriors were all padding back to their den to got o sleep. But, she was wide awake, she paced around trying to get tired. She let out another heavy sigh and sat down, curling her tail around her paws. She stared at the queens and their kits curled at their bellies. She quickly turned away and continued to stare off into space. There was a brilliant flash of a light in the night sky. "That is my star," she murmured silently. "That is my streak, it's my streak to shine," she whispered. She felt another body press to her's and she gasped loudly. She turned around to see Ashkit giving her a weak shrug. Driftkit murmured to herself silently and looked at Ashkit. "You know Driftkit, you can't let those mouse-brains get to you. They aren't special like you. You are amazing, and you will always be. Dont let them get to you." he said quietly and nudged her shoulder with his. She smiled at him softly and purrs. "Thanks you Ashkit, how do you know about that though?" she questions him curiously. "Driftkit," he laughs,"They are my sisters." "Thank you though," she murmured and stared at his light green eyes. He met her gaze and smiled. They stared at each other for hat seemed like moons, she couldn't break away their gaze. She felt her eyes slowly closing, until she fell into a deep sleep filled with a beautiful forest, and plenty of prey
"Wake up Driftkit, wake up," She blinked up to see Eclipsekit staring down at her. She felt something warm against her, she turned to see Ashkit curled around her. She blinked and scrambled away, awakening Ashkit from his sleep. He hissed, "Driftkit, I told you to stay away from Ashkit!" She narrowed her eyes, "Why should I? I can take care of myself, and you know that. You are not the leader." "I don't like him, he gives me a bad feeling." He growled back at her. "I can do what I like." She growled back at him. "Driftkit, he doesn't like you, he is trying to lure you away from us." He spat back."He never will, and you will never get him. He will never like a cat like you." Eclipsekit's eyes widen as he realized what he just said. "I did..didn't mean to say that. Driftkit you know I wouldn't," Driftkit slowly backed away, how could he say that? She scrambled away avoiding any cat in her way. She ran into the warrior's den and smacked in a warrior, looking up she saw Sagestripe. She looked up at him, and she knew he saw the hurt in her eyes by the way he reacted. "I..I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she finally found her voice. Ashkit stared at Driftkit and shook his head grinning.
"Driftkit, Driftkit! You want to play? Mousewing taught me how to play another game. It's called mossball!" She heard Ashkit call from the other side of camp. Did he really just play with her because he felt bad? Why didn't anyone like her? Did she do a crime? Did she ACCIDENTALLY kill a cat? No. Then why was every cat like that to her? "Driftkit! I'm talking to you!" She heard him calling again but she ignored him and kept walking. Ashkit caught up to her and panted. "Hey! I was talking to you! Your name is Driftkit right?" He smirked and shoved her playfully. She gave him an icy glare and continued to walk. "Driftkit, wait up!" Ashkit shouted again. She turned on her heel and stared at him. "What do you want?" She hissed clearly angry. He cuffed her and it made her even more angry. "Oh shut up! Lets play!" She sent him another glare and kept on walking. "Driftkit!" He whined. She had enough! "Just shut up Ashkit!"
==Chapter 3==
His big green eyes rouded as he stared at her. She immediately felt guilty. But it wasn't her fault! He started it. well, maybe she was harsh on him. But she did want to be alone! So it wasn't her fault! So it doesn't matter. She grinned at herself for realizing it maybe wasn't her fault. She shrugged at him before walking away. She quickly glanced over her shoulder to see him crouched down and hurt in his eyes. She felt a pang of guilt but quickly shook it off. She trotted to the elders den to hear another story from Mousewing. Out of the corner of her eye she caught Sagestripe looking back and forth between her and Ashkit. He was shaking his head and frowning. "Hey Mousewing! Can you tell me another story?" Mousewing looked up at her with her big amber eyes. They looked tired and Driftkit felt a little bad for her. She quickly looked around to find something else to do. Something other than ignoring her brothers. She wasn't going to speak to them. How dare Eclipsekit say that to her! How did she get caught in this? She laughed internally. "Well Driftkit, let me think of one, " she was brought back to reality by Mousewing. "It's ok! Sagestripe wanted me to do something to do something earlier." She easily lied, she didn't want Mousewing to get more tired. At the mention of Sagestripe's name, she sweared to StarClan she saw Mousewings face flash in surprise. She trotted away and shook her head. That is such a silly idea. Before she even realized, it was getting darker. She quickly raced back to the nursery and curled up beside her mother.
== Chapter 4 ==
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather below highrock!" She heard her leader's call ring around camp. She blinked and the morning sun flashed on her eyes. She shook her head and padded outside. It has been over a moon since she and Ashkit stopped talking. Who cares if he wanted to ignore her so be it! Amberfall was padding outside e den, and Driftkit followed her, silently sitting by her tail. Eclipsekit and Moonkit sat on the other side. She was still ignoring them. They had tried once in a while to talk to her. But she ignored them. The nerve of Eclipsekit! "Ashkit, Pebblekit, Grasskit, please step forward," she looked up in surprise, it was Ashkit's apprentice ceremony. When she looks up he caught her eye. But, he quickly looked away. She felt her pelt prickle with guilt but it wasn't her fault! She felt a little jealous, she wanted to be an apprentice! Why couldn't she be born a moon earlier. She was shook out of her thoughts when Cederstar called, "Do you Ashpaw promise to uphold the warrior code, are you ready?" He nodded and murmured, "I do," "Then from this moment you will be known as Ashpaw, your mentor will be Cloudheart!" She zoned out during Grasskit's and Pebblkit's turn. The ceremony was really boring. But she knew Grasskit got Shallowpond as her mentor, and Pebblekit got Yellowfur as her mentor. She sighed and got up. Amber fall purred," your time will come soon. Don't worry. " "but it will take so long! I will have to stay in the nursery!" She frowned and let her head hang. She looked up and saw Ashkit smiling and pad towards her. She looked around, was he smiling at her? He was. She quickly turned, making it clear she didn't want to see him. She started a conversation with Streamkit. She saw Ashpaw frown and shrug. He padded to her and Streamkit. "Hey guys!" He meowed happily. "I have to go," she quickly padded away and saw Ashkit frowning. She felt guilty, but he did start it! 
The morning sun was still bright as she heard a shrill yowl. "SwiftClan, attack!" Her ears percked as she shook her head. A stream of cats flooded into camp, Cederstar came running out of his den. He mate Tawnyleaf was right behind him. Sagestripe bolted out and hissed. She stared at Cederstar, he and Riverstar were in the middle of a vicous fight. She crouched down and shivered. What was going on? Why was SwiftClan attacking? "Driftkit, watch out!" her head twitched up as she saw a SwiftClan warrior dashing towards her. What did she have to do? She froze and could only hear the yowls of cats getting hurt. She was knocked out of her trance when someone pushed her out of the way, she glanced up to see Moonkit cowering below the warrior. Driftkt heard a painfilled yelp, looking down she saw Moonkit laying in a pool of blood. "No! Moonkit!," the warrior's yellow teeth were glinting, his faced was scarred and hideous. she trembled as his paw raised to slam her. He was caught off gaurd when Sagestripe rammed into him. She glanced up in relief and dashed away. She saw Sagestripe battling the tom, and so many of the warriors were laying in pools of blood. "We will get back the kits!" she heard Riverstars hoarse voice echo throught the camp. Cederstar rammed into him, "Not even in your wildest dreams, " he growled. He continued to slam his paws down on Riverstar's head. but, that wasn't good enough. Riverstar was much much bigger. He quickly batted Cederstar aside and held his teeth down on his neck. She saw Cederstar twitch once before he didn't move again. Hawktail was battling an enormous shecat in the corner of camp. Every cat, every cat was battling. She couldn't stand it! She stumbled around and collapsed on the ground. She heard every cat go silent. Cederstar was holding Riverstar's neck. It was in his jaws, he continued twitching before he let him go. Every cat went silent. The deputy, she believed her name was Goldenheart gave a sharp yap, "SwiftClan, retreat!" they grabbed Riverstar's scruff as they sprinted out of camp. 
==Chapter 5==
Her eyes darted around, the warriors were all laying in pools of blood. She felt dizzy as she stared at the blood. Out of the corner of her eye she saw a  black ball of fur. It was small, she padded closer, it was Moonkit! Around him was blood, just like very cat. It was soaking his fur, so it was tinted. She felt her heart stop, was he dead? She padded closer to see the medicine cats were all rushing to his aid. Beside them were plenty of herbs, and green plants. They continued to work on him, but he didn't seem to be waking up! They both looked up, they shook their heads. He was dead.
She felt hot tears stream down her eyes as she looked down at Moonkit. He was dead. This was all she could process. She gave a loud wail which caught every cat's attention. She felt some cat press beside her. She looked up to see Eclipsekit staring at Moonkit's dead body with disbelief.  She caught Eclipsekit's eye as she looked up. She couldn't take it anymore. She pressed herself to him and let her shoulders sag. She ignored him, she ignored Moonkit, and now she own't ever hear his voice again. Never. He was gone. A yowl startled her and she jolted up. "Amberfall is dead."
==Chapter 6==
Ashpaw started towards her. "I am so so sorry Driftkit," he murmured softly in her ear. She glanced up but couldn't help making a pained expression on her face. Her mother was dead, and so was her brother. They were gone. She would never see them again. She didn't even notice the tears falling like rain from her eyes. She was laying beside the cliff, the cliff that seperated MistClan from SwiftClan. She curled up int a tiny ball, and felt Ashpaw curl around her in response. She didn't mind, Ashpaw was the least of her worries.
She was silently sobbing into Ashpaw's warm fur. He was quietly murmuring comforting words to her. Why was StarClan so cruel to her? Why was her life like this? She couldn't let this get to her. She shoved away Ashpaw, and saw him stare at shock to her. She stalked away and swallowed the huge lump in her throat. Out of nowhere Eclipsekit came and lapped her ear. She looked up at him, and saw him staring down at her. "It's ok Driftkit, we have each other don't we?" He chuckled dryly, and she narrowed her eyes. She slowly padded away, her paws dragging stiffly behind her. "Hey Driftkit!" she turned around to see Sunkit padding towards her. She narrowed her eyes at him, she stared at him coming closer and closer. "Hi Sunkit," she meowed slowly. His golden pelt gleamed in the sunlight as he shook it. His eyes were almost grey, "Do you need anything?" She murmured quietly. "No! I just wanted to spend time with one of my fellow kits," he chuckled at his own joke. She silently laughed, she always did enjoy Sunkit's company. "What do you want to do?" He meowed in his usual booming voice, she shrugged and continued staring at the clouds. "Do you want to play mossball? Or SwiftClan versus Mist-" he stopped mid-sentence. "I mean MistClan versus-" she hissed at him, "I dont care what you meant, you said it," she felt tears well up in her eyes. Every other kit had their mothers. She wanted hers!
== Chapter 7 ==
"Driftpaw,Eclipsepaw,Driftpaw,Eclipsepaw!" she let the chants wash over her as she smiled. She closed her eyes andstared at the sky, was Amberfall watching over her? What about Moonkit? It had been almost two moons since their deaths, it was almost a moon since Sunpaw had become an apprentice. She grinned at her brother as he lapped her cheek. Sunpaw came up at lapped her cheek, "Great job Driftpaw," he mewoed exaggerating her name. "Thanks!," she meowed cheerfully. She turned her head to see Ashpaw staring at Sunpaw with a pure look of hatred. As soon as he snapped out of his trance he came to congratulate her, "Great job Driftpaw," he shot Sunpaw a hot glare and smiled at her warmly. Sunpaw shot him a rude smirk, she watched the toms in their silent battle. Sunpaw was one of her best friends, but Ashpaw was also a friend. Her mentor was Lakefrost, and Eclipsekit's was Lilydapple. She smiled at Lakefrost, he was one of the best warriors in the clan! Her mother would be so proud. She stared at her paws, Moonkit died for her. He saved her from the wretched SwiftClan cat. Why did they have to take everything from her? Was StarClan's destiny for her a life of misery and darkness? The elders told her that cats with the darkest past are some of the greatest warriors, could one of those possibly be her? "Driftpaw, Driftpaw!" Her head twtiched to the source of the noise. She looked up to see Ashpaw beaming down at her. Want to go hunting with me? She smiled, it was going to be her first hunt. But weren't apprentices forbidden to go out in the forest alone, because of the SwiftClan attack? Sunpaw came trotting towards them. He beamed at her and turned his head tos ee Ashpaw, he frowned. "What are you two doing?" "Ashpaw wanted to go hunting, but I don't know." she meowed quietly. "Well we could go," Sunpaw meowed brightly, "I'll show her that I'm way better than him,"I don't know you two..." she meowed. "Oh lighten up Driftpaw, it will be fun!" "Fine," she muttered unsure.
Ashpaw, Sunpaw, and herself had snuck out of camp silently. The two pests were bickering in front of her. It was dark, she still wasn't sure about this. It seemed extremely dangerous, and they could get caught. Sunpaw stopped and looked back at her. "Come on, don't walk alone," he smirked. She nodded and padded forward silently. Sunpaw was on one side of her, and Ashpaw on the other. They were on each side of her like escorts. She rolled her eyes and smiled to herself. A crunch of a leaf stopped her. "Shut up Gingersplash, I hear something." I knew this was a bad idea, Ginersplash, Gingersplash. She has heard that name before. But where? "Nightfang, I see small cats," Stupid Sunpaw stupid ashpaw, why did they have to drag her into this? She saw that the two toms had stopped and stared at her, their eyes were wide with fear. "Quick up that tree," she meowed desperately. "Hurry up," they quickly sprinted up the trees, scared for their lives. She bumped into a something, and looked up to see a black cat, one green eye and one brown eye. Sunpaw and Ashpaw were knocked out cold, the last thing she saw was the evil glint in her tiny eyes.
== Chapter 8 ==
She groaned, her pelt was aching as if she was just in a battle. She felt warmth on each side of her. She lifted her head to see Sunpaw curled up on one side of her, and Ashpaw on the other. "Ashpaw, wake up." She murmured softly. He grunted in response, but she couldn't give up. "Wake up Ashpaw" She meowed a little louder, in a hushed whisper. He moaned and winced as she gently jabbed him. She glanced over to Sunpaw, he was slowly stirring from his slumber. "Ashpaw," she murmured in his ear, "wake up!" He still didn't, toms. She presses her muzzle against his, and soon enough he was waking up. She rolled his eyes and watched him smirk. Sunpaw gave him a cold glare, "Stop being so...so...immature!" She finally got out, her eyes watered for some reason. This place seemed oddly familiar, she didn't know how. "Well I see you have awaken!" A booming voice echoed through the dark den. The voice made her cold, it was a cruel voice. She was trembling, it scared her. "It's ok he can't do anything to you, as long as I'm here," Sunpaw murmured, "Well I am here too!" Ashpaw retorts hotly. She rolled her eyes, why do they always have to fight? She stared at the source of the voice and saw that. A silver tom came padding in, he had plenty of battle wounds. His eyes were as black as the night. She could feel Ashpaw stepping forward protectively. She pushed him aside and boldly stood up. "Who are you?" "I am Silverclaw, warrior of SwiftClan," he smirked at her, it was a look of hatred. I winkled my nose, "What kind of name is that?" He glares at me, and I give him a smug look.
