Owlstar's Destiny

== Chapter 1: Kit's Play ==
Graykit's tail twitched. "Bet you can't catch me!" She mewled. "Bet I can!" Owlkit squeaked. Graykit began to dash across camp. Owlkit leapt, landing straight on the gray kit. "I win" Smirked Owlkit. "Yeah yeah, now get off me!" Graykit hissed. "Fine, kit." Owlkit leapt off. "If you keep leading this up, the enemies will squish you with one paw!" Nightswipe hissed to Graykit from the shadows. Owlkit never really liked Nightswipe, she always ruined their fun. Graykit looked at her paws. Owlkit frowned. As Owlkit went to comfort her cousin, a yowl pierced the clearing. Hazelfall was covered in blood, laying down. Owlkit scurried over. Squirrelstar stepped out of her den. "Hazelfall!" Squirrelstar wailed. Hazelfall had been deputy for many moons, was this really her time? Owlkit scurried to the Medicine Cat den. "Cloverleaf! Ashpaw!" Owlkit called. Ashpaw poked his gray head out of the den. "Wh-" Ashpaw's face went blank. Ashpaw leapt over. Poor Ashpaw, Hazelfall is his mother Owlkit thought. Cloverleaf came over to the body. Owlkit scurried over. She plopped down next to Graykit. "She's hunting with StarClan now.." Cloverleaf declared. Ashpaw was crouched, his face pressed against his mother's fur. Squirrelstar sat there, emotionless. Owlkit sighed. She nudged Graykit, then stood and walked to the nursery, Graykit at her tail. Owlkit padded over and sat by her mother, Oakflower. Oakflower was feeding Littlekit at the time. Owlkit sighed, quickly glancing over to Nightswipe, Graykit and Tigerkit. Owlkit glanced out the nursery, Lunarpaw was going to the apprentices den at the time. Owlkit padded over to Littlekit's side. Owlkit laided down, resting her head on her paws. Darkness washed her view until there was nothing.
Owlkit woke in an empty, misty place. Alarmed, she stood, breathing heavily. A brown striped cat approached her. "Hazelfall! Ashpaw misses you so much!" Owlkit mewled. "I know" Sighed Hazelfall. "But, you we're brung here to talk about the past. We're here you talk about the furture." Hazelfall meowed. Owlkit's eyes widened, "The furture?". "You are destined to succeed, be remembered. A huge part of Clan history." Hazelfall smiled. Owlkit gasped. "That's all I can say." Hazelfall exclaimed. Hazelfall's form began fading. "But what what do you mean!?" Owlkit squealed. "What do you mean!" Owlkit's eyes flickered open. "Owlkit, are you okay?" Oakflower asked. "Yeah, fine. Just a dream" Owlkit stood up. "All Cats of MossClan, gather!" Squirrelstar yowled. Everyone in the nursery stood. Oakflower picked up Littlekit. Soon enough, all cats were sitting below the high rock. "Owlkit, Graykit, Tigerkit, please step up" Squirrelstar declared. Owlkit, Graykit, and Tigerkit sat on tiny ledges on the rock. "Owlkit, Graykit, Tigerkit, you have all reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Owlpaw, Tigerpaw and Graypaw. Your mentors will be Birdgaze, Dartcloud and Runningheart. I hope they will pass down all they know know on to you. Birdgaze, Dartcloud, Runningheart, you are all ready to take on an apprentice. You have all received excellent training, and you have all shown yourself to be loyal and brave. You three will be the mentors of Graykit, Owlkit and Tigerkit, and I expect you to pass on all you know to them.".
== Chapter 2: Impatient ==
"Tigerpaw, keep your stance." Ordered Birdgaze. "Birdgaze? More like Bossygaze!" Graypaw whispered to Owlpaw. Owlpaw let out a mrrow of laughter. "Owlpaw, today you will be sparring with Graypaw" Dartcloud meowed. "Yes!" Owlpaw purred. "Lucky, I have to hunt with Bossygaze!" Meowed Tigerpaw. "What was that?" Birdgaze looked back. "Uh, I said "I'm lucky! I get to hunt with Birdgaze!"" Tigerpaw lied. "Good" Responded Birdgaze. "Now, Graypaw, Owlpaw. Sparring." Runningheart meowed. Owlpaw and Graypaw stood in fighting position. Owlpaw flung herself at Graypaw, throwing her down. Graypaw kicked her off. As Graypaw went to bite Owlpaw's tail, Owlpaw tucked it in. Graypaw fell on her chin. "Good job." Dartcloud meowed. "That's enough for today." Runningheart added. Graypaw shuffled up. "Wow, you're good at this!" Graypaw purred. "Thanks." Owlpaw responded.
Owlpaw padded into the Apprentices' den with Graypaw. "I made you nests." Lunarpaw purred. "Thanks, Lunarpaw!" Owlpaw smiled. Both apprentices' shuffled into their nests. "Did I ever tell you the time me and Badgerjaw defeated a fox?" Lunarpaw asked. "No, but I wanna hear it!" Purred Graypaw. "Me too! Me too!" Owlpaw meowed. "Alright. So it all started when me and Badgerjaw were training..." Began Lunarpaw. Lunarpaw will be an Warrior soon, I just wish we could be sooner!.
== Chapter 3: Squirrelstar's Final Stance ==
A paw proaded into Owlpaw's side. "Hmm?" Owlpaw yawned. "Gathering! Squirrelstar's deciding!" Lunarpaw meowed. "Wow!" Owlpaw smiled. Owlpaw stood up, following Graypaw and Lunarpaw. "Lunarpaw, Graypaw, Owlpaw, Badgerjaw, Softnose and Iceslash will be coming." Squirrelstar declared.
"MossClan have been hunting on SwiftClan's territory!" Hissed Specklestar. "I supposed you would say that, our Deputy, Hazelfall has died. She had SwiftClan scent all over her." Squirrelstar snapped. Owlpaw glanced over, Quailstar and Cloudstar seemed alarmed, Owlpaw wondered why. "We will battle in two days! Be there!" Hissed Specklestar. All leaders jumped down, gathering their Clans together.
"Dartcloud will be the new deputy of MossClan." Squirrelstar declared. "Dartcloud, Dartcloud!" Chanted the Clan, Owlpaw tried to be the loudest. "Squirrelstar is on her last life, this battle won't end well." Cloverleaf meowed to Ashpaw. Owlpaw heard what she said. Oh StarClan bless us. Owlpaw gulped.
Squirrelstar stood still, staring into Specklestar's daring gaze. Squirrelstar's tail twitched. All cats dived in, shreding, shrieking, it was awful. Owlpaw glanced around. Owlpaw was thrown to the ground, brown apprentice standing over her. Owlpaw hissed. The apprentice tore across Owlpaw's chest. Pain rushed through Owlpaw. Suddenly, she felt free. Owlpaw looked around, Lunarpaw had the apprentice pinned. Owlpaw stood up. She looked for Squirrelstar. Specklestar had her pinned. "No!" Owlpaw began running at them. But she was to late, Specklestar crushed Squirrelstar's windpipe with her jaws. "SwiftClan, retreat! They've learned their lesson." Called Specklestar. The cats ran away. Cats gathered around the body. I was too late.. She died because I couldn't save her! I killed her! Owlpaw thought in terror.
== Chapter 4: Dartstar's rain ==
Owlfeather padded into camp, a vole in her jaws. She heard hissing. "Huh?" Owlfeather looked over at the clearing. Grayheart, Littlepaw and Dartstar stood. Littlepaw had pinned herself onto the ground, Grayheart and Dartstar were hissing at eachother. Owlfeather flattened her ears. Owlfeather padded over. "What is the meaning of this, Dartstar. Must you be so defensive?" Owlfeather hissed. "Are you questioning my order!?" Dartstar hissed back. "That's it! Grayheart, Littlepaw, Owlfeather, Mossfall, Oakflower, leave now!" Dartstar whipped around. Owlfeather stood still. "C'mon everyone" Owlfeather meowed. They all rushed over. Owlfeather led them out of camp. "Dartstar's order will not last long. Not when we overpower her!" Owlfeather meowed to the group. They all looked at each other, then nodded. "But there's only five of us!" Littlepaw remarked. "But, we will grow larger. We will be a Clan!"
