Valley Of Secrets

==  Prolouge    ==
Lionstar watched the rogue slowly. She was carrying a bird to a small bush. He scanned the area over and scented the air. The cat slowly crouched over the mouse and started to eat it. Lionstar slowly inched his way closer, never taking his eyes off of the foreign cat, and pounced.
"Get off me! Get off me!" The cat yelped. She clawed at his nose. 
"Who are you and what are you doing here?! Why are you on OakClan's territory!" The tom snapped. He flipped her over so she was pinned on her back. "Don't make me hurt you."
"Help! Help!" The cat yelped again. "This cat is going to kill me!" Her ivy green eyes looked into his sea green ones.
"I'll make you a deal, you come to OakClan as a prisoner and I will leave you unscathed. If you don't agree, we will still take you as a prisoner and treat you as one. Your choice," Lionstar growled. The rogue looked into his eyes and slowly nodded her head. Lionstar got up and lead the prisoner toward camp.
"Who's that Lionstar?" A shiny silver tabby mewed, swaying her tail. Her dark blue eyes glistened in the sunlight. 
"Silvernight, this is a prisoner. I don't know for how long," Lionstar replied. He nudged the rogue to where she would be held captive. She slowly moved forward. He nudged her again and she quickened her pace. They soon arrived at the den. 
"Darkpelt, you're in charge of watching our prisoner, but first may I talk to her alone?" Lionstar mewed calmly. Darkpelt nodded and left the den.
"What's your name?" Lionstar snarled, his eyes shining with hatred.  
"It's Ivy, shouldn't you know that?" Ivy hissed. Her eyes narrowed and stared into his. Lionstar stared at her. He scowled at her and flicked his tail, walking out of the den. 
"I didn't know you Ivy, until now," Lionstar grumbled quietly as he made his way to High Rock.
==Chapter 1==
~1 moon later~
"Lionstar! Ivy is having her kits!" Rowanfern, the medicine cat, mewed as she stood in the leader's den entrance. 
"Go help her, I'll be there shortly," Lionstar mewed. He rose to his paws, and flicked his tail, motioning Rowanfern to go. She left the den, and so did Lionstar. Lionstar made his way to the nursery, looking for Oceanbreeze. She was perched on a rock, near the nursery, that was just a little bigger than herself. He padded over to Oceanbreeze and whispered something into her ear. Oceanbreeze looked concerned, but Lionstar whispered something else and Oceanbreeze calmed down as Lionstar padded out.
They made their way to where Ivy was and saw her nursing three kits, A solid grey kit, a silver tabby, and one white, each with a white V on their right front paw. 
"What will their names be?" Lionstar purred, looking into Ivy's eyes. "Kit names, not rogue names."
"The white one will be Winterkit, and this grey one," She nuzzled it with her nose, "will be Dovekit," She nudged the silver tabby, "This one will be-" She was cut off by Silvernight, who had rushed into the den.
"It's FernClan, they're attacking!" Silvernight mewed, out of breath. 
"Silvernight, Rowanfern, go get the warriors to help!" Lionstar demanded. 
"Lionstar," Ivy purred. Lionstar looked at her. Ivy got up and whispered something in Lionstar's ear. He nodded and sprinted out of the den. 
Perched on Highrock, was Sagestar, the leader of Fernclan. Lionstar pushed off cats trying to attack him, his muscles rippling with the effort. 
"Surrender your clan! Do it before we take over!" Sagestar snarled as he watched Lionstar push his way through.
"Never! Now get off my clan's territory!" Lionstar snarled back. He leaped onto Highrock, facing Sagestar. He growled, showing his sharp teeth. Sagestar bared his teeth as well.
"Then I'll make you!" Sagestar hissed, leaping toward Lionstar. Lionstar dodged the attack quickly and tackled Sagestar. He put a claw up against Sagestar's neck. 
"I'm going to say this one more time," Lionstar hissed. "Get off my territory." 
"FernClan, retreat!" Sagestar yowled and retreated with his cats.  
Lionstar padded around camp, making sure every wounded cat was being taken care of in the medicine cat den. He spotted a cat lying down on the ground and recognized it, almost immediately. 
"Blizzardpaw!" Lionstar yowled and sprinted toward the cat. Luckily, she was concious. He picked her up by the scruff and ran to the medicine cat den. 
"Lionstar! Lionstar!" Someone yowled. It was Silvernight. "One of Ivy's kits is missing!"
== Chapter 2 ==
"What kind of cat would steal a kit?" Lionstar hissed. He unhappily swayed his tail back and forth.
"Lionstar," a sweet voice mewed, "Oceanbreeze is having her kits!" Lionstar turned around and saw Rosepetal, a sweet queen. He swiftly dashed out of Ivy's den, toward the nursery.
"Oceanbreeze!" Lionstar mewed, as his mate laid uncomfortably, waiting to have her kits. Lionstar sat down next to Oceanbreeze, trying to calm her.
Shortly afterward, Oceanbreeze was nursing four kits, two grey, and two golden, and they all had a small white V on one of their front paws. 
"What shall we name them?" Oceanbreeze purred looking down towards the kits, then up at Lionstar. He nuzzled the oldest one, a golden tom. "How about Sunkit?" he purred gently. Oceanbreeze purred in agreement.
Oceanbreeze lightly nudged a grey kit, then a golden kit. "Let's name her Rainkit and let's name her Honeykit," She purred.
"And the last one," Lionstar mewed. He nuzzled the smallest and youngest kit, a light grey she kit with dark markings. "Let's name her Swiftkit."
5 days passed after the kits were born. Rosepetal, a mother of one kit, Maplekit, has taken in Ivy's kits, Winterkit, and Dovekit.
Lionstar quietly padded into the Ivy's den. He dipped his head to Ivy in greeting.
"Greetings Ivy. I have good news for you today," He mewed.
"What? It's not good news unless I can care for my kits," Ivy spat. She curled up into a ball and closed her eyes, trying to ignore Lionstar.
"No, you will not be caring for your kits. However, after Clan Meetings and Gatherings you may see them. And because of your kits, OakClan will not harm you. I want the best for your kits," Lionstar added on, ignoring the fact she was drifting to sleep.
"You want the best for them? Let them be with me! Let me care for them!" Ivy snarled. "Treat them like how you would treat your own kits, treat them like you treated Jaykit, before the accident." Lionstar rose to his paws.
"I told you Ivy, Jaykit is not to be spoken of! I control when you can see your kits, and I can make that hard, very hard."
==Chapter 3==
After Lionstar left the den, he walked over to the nursery, where Oceanbreeze was nursing their kits. Less than a week old, their eyes hadn't opened yet. He sat down next to Oceanbreeze, wrapping his tail around his paws. 
"The gathering is tonight," Lionstar purred, trying not to wake the other sleeping queens. "Ivy gets to see her kits today," Lionstar mewed, as Oceanbreeze flicked her tail. She slowly rose to her paws, causing the kits to squeal faintly. 
"Echo, watch my kits for me please," Oceanbreeze mewed softly. Echo assisted the queens when they needed a break. She once had a kit, but she died on the journey to OakClan. 
Echo, perched on her rock, dipped her head and jumped down to the sleeping kits. She hovered over them and wrapped her fluffy, tawny tail around them. 
Oceanbreeze padded over to the nursery exit. She peeked her head out, and then a paw.  
"It hasn't been long, but it feels like it," She murmured. Her ocean blue eyes glistened as she moved completely out the den. 
She padded off to the Sunning Rocks, her favorite place to relax. A sudden breeze ruffled her fur. She passed the apprentice den, watching Blizzardpaw play with her sister Dasiypaw. She smiled. She continued walking  to the Sunning Rocks.
She lept onto one of the rocks and she sat down, wrapping her fluffy tail around her paws. The sun's rays warmed her blue-grey pelt. She glanced down at a rustic brown pelted cat, and smiled.
"Boulder, is that you?" She mewed, her ocean blue eyes meeting the tom's yellow ones. The cat dipped his head.
"It's me!" Boulder mewed back. "I haven't seen you in awhile." He moved closer to Oceanbreeze. 
"I had my kits. Four of them." Oceanbreeze purred. Her fluffy sliver tail wrapped around her paws.   
"That's great! I'm guessing they're Lionfur's kits?" Boulder mewed back.
"He's Lionstar now. And yes they're his." She purred back.
"Second litter right?" Boulder mewed, laying down and flickering his bushy tail. Oceanbreeze shuffled her feet. 
"I think its best I go." She mewed uncomfortably. She rose to her paws, and before he could respond she was gone. 
She made her way make to the nursery. She wrapped her tail around the kits. She laid down and let them suckle. She wrapped her tail around them, protecting them. And without moving her tail, she fell asleep. 
==Chapter 4==
Two moons later
Swiftkit darted out of the nursery. She ran around camp, the wind brushing against her fur. Her brother, Sunkit chasing her. 
"Face it Sunkit! You'll never be as fast as me!" Swiftkit snickered, continuing running around the camp. 
"You're probably trying to sneak off to see Sparkkit! I bet you are!" Sunkit spat back at her. Swiftkit stopped running and stood there. She turned toward Sunkit. She jumped on top of him and pinned him to the ground. 
"Pinned you." Swiftkit sneered. Her brother's eyes expressed his anger, after being pinned by his smaller and younger sister. She got up and ran off toward her meeting place with Sparkkit. 
She waited and heard paw steps behind her. She turned around and there was the ginger kit, her bestfriend Sparkkit. He faced toward Swiftkit and swayed his tail back and forth. 
"Your here! I almost got busted by Sunkit. But I think he's going to see Lionstar about something." Swiftkit purred. She wrapped her tail around her paws. Sparkkit nodded, and they got up and walked to meet Dovekit and Winterkit behind the medicine cat den. 
"Swiftkit! Sparkkit! Over here!" Someone mewed. Swiftkit turned around and saw Dovekit and Winterkit. They walked over to them, and the four kits padded to the prisoner's den. 
"I'll meet you in there. Darkpelt will tell my father if he sees me go in the front way." Swiftkit whispered. The four cats huddled together. 
"Ok, I'll go with you. Dovekit, Winterkit, go in the front way. Darkpelt will most likely think it's normal you two are going into the den." Sparkkit explained. Dovekit and Winterkit nodded. "Ok kits, split." 
Swiftkit and Sparkkit made their way to the back of the prisoner's den. Swiftkit spotted a small hole, only big enough for Sparkkit and Swiftkit to get through. They slipped into the hole and faced Dovekit and Winterkit. The two sisters nuzzled Ivy, their mother.
