Dapplestrike

Dapplestrike was born to Petalshine and a kittypet named Stone . Her sister Blossomkit died a few moments after birth. A few days before her apprentice ceremony her mother died in a battle. She felt like she had to get revenge for her mother and has a deep hatred for most cats. Her mentor, Morninglight, loved her deeply and Dapplepaw soon grew close to her. She only let herself grow close to Morninglight because she was the only thing she had left of her mother. Morninglight was Petalshine's sister. Tho the two cats are completely opposite of each other, the love each other dearly. Morninglight never new that Dapplepaw would sneak out of camp in the middle of the night and go to each of the borders and any lone cat she found, she would murder and drag the body over to a small steam and wash off her scent and any tufts of fur that was on that cats body. Then she would drag them over to the rouge border. She also killed a few Rouges who watched her kill them. Before she became a Warrior she killed 9 cats. She killed 14 in total, including her own kits. One night when she was looking for lone cats at the border, she saw a sleek white tom with black marbled patterns. They soon grew close, although she knew it was wrong, she couldn't help it. The next morning when she woke up she had her Warrior ceremony. She thought about leaving the Clan to join the other cat's Clan but she decided to wait a few days. (Yes the tom has a name, his name is Aspenfrost.) She then announced that she is leaving the Clan. She waited at the border until a patrol came. To her surprise they weren't angry when she asked to speak with their Clan leader. He accepted her because there weren't very many Warriors and most of the cats were sick so she became a Medicine Cat Apprentice. She later found out she was expecting kits. She trotted over to Aspenfrost and told him the news. She knew she had to keep it quiet so she decided to hide her pregnancy. It wasn't hard because she's pretty fluffy. (Btw she's a Brown she-cat with black and white markings.) To her surprise Aspenfrost didn't want the kits. This made her mad but she managed to keep her cool. On the day her kits came she had 5 tiny kits. She knew how to deliver them because she helped deliver a different litter for another queen. She thought for a few moments about how the Clan would react. They needed kits but she couldn't tell them they were hers. She named them, Needlekit, Darkkit, Crowkit, Ravenkit, and Amberkit. She picked up one by the scruff and bit down hard, killing it almost instantly. She did the same for all the kits and was left in tears. She felt terrible for killing her kits and a new generation of her mother. Well they get to meet their grandmother before their mother. She burried her kits and trotted sadly back into camp with a few herbs. When she got back she noticed the deputy nuzzling Aspenfrost and realized her belly was swollen with kits. She watched with sadness at the thought of her kits and her mate that betrayed her. She crossed the rouge border without realizing and a moment later claws sharp as thorns dug into her throat. She felt herself being carried across the border and then everything went black. A few moments later she saw the transparent bodies of her mother and her kits.

Story(Birth to death type thing):

"Your doing fine." Ravenflight, the medicine cat mewed. A ripple went through Petalshine's stomach and a tiny kit slipped onto the ground. "It's a she-kit." Ravenflight meowed. The tiny she-kit was brown with black and white patches. Petalshine moaned as another ripple went through her stomach. There was something wrong though. Her eyes glazed with pain and terror. *The kit is stuck!*, she realized. "Ravenflight, help!" She screeched. "What's wrong?" She mewed trying not to let fear show. "The kit. It's stuck!" She cried. "It hurts!" She squealed. Ravenflight put her paws on Petalshine's stomach, and pushed gently. The kit slithered into the floor, but there was something wrong with her. "She's not breathing!" Petalshine cried. Ravenflight tried to lick warmth into the kit, but it was no use. She dipped her head sadly, tears streaming down her face. "Do you have names for them?" Asked Ravenflight, trying to change the subject. "The dead one is Blossomkit and this one is Dapplekit." She meowed pointing with her muzzle at the tiny she-kit suckling.

Petalshine's thoughts clouded with greif. *Why did Blossomkit have to die*?, she thought sadly. *Why coulden't it had been me!* she wanted to screech. Ravenflight wrapped her tail gently around Petalshine's back, trying to comfert the greiving mother. "It should have been me instead of her." She sighed. "Then both of your kits would've died." Ravenflight meowed softly. "No. No, they could've grew up with Squirrletail and her kits. She's still producing milk. She could have fed them." She cried. "Could you bear the thought of leaving your kits? Not being able to watch them grow? Bearing the thought that you missed their naming ceremony? Missing their first hunt? Could you bear the feeling that you let down your kits and Clan?" Ravenflight mewed sternly. Petalshine looked at her, speechless.

*What is she talking about?* Petalshine thought. There was a hint of sadness in Ravenflight's eyes. "Wha-what do you mean?" She finially stammered. "I'll tell you later when were alone." She whispered so only Petalshine could here. She dipped her head. "Thank you Ravenflight. I'm very greatful to have you as our medicine cat." She mewed. "I'm honored." She replied. Ravenflight backed out of the den. "Petalshine needs rest now." She told the gathered cats. "How many kits does she have?" A ginger and white tom named Firepatch asked. "She had 2 kits named Blossomkit and Dapplekit. Sadly poor little Blossomkit was born dead." She replied with a hint of sadness to her mew. "What do you mean?" A white she-cat with brown paws named Snowbranch asked. "We tried to save the kit, but it was too late. It got stuck. There was nothing we could've done to save her." She sighed.

"Are you ready for the truth?" Ravenflight meowed when all the cats have left. The other queems were outside relaxing in the afternoon sun. "What do you mean truth? What happened?" Petalshine asked confused. "I-I had kits. I know what it's like to lose them." She said, tears began to fall down her face. "I-I-I had to kill them." She cried. "What! Why?" Petalshine screeched quietly. "The Clan leader forced me to kill them right in front of him." She replied, tears streaming down her face. "What were their names?" She asked. "Sparrowkit and Larckkit." She replied. "You mean Ravenstar forced you to kill those two inocent kits!?" She said, clearly shocked and confused. "No I was born in LionClan not LeopardClan." She said. "His name was Lionstar. He was cruel. I was his medicine cat too. I never meant to have kits." She growled at the memory. "What do you mean, you never meant to have kits?" She asked. "I mean I never had a mate and I was forced to have kits. I didn't want to break the code but the cat said if I told anyone he would kill me." She replied. "Was it Lionstar?" She asked. "No, it was his deputy Shadowclaw." She replied. "Shadowstar did that to you!" She growled. Ravenflight nodded. "Next time we go into battle I'll claw his pelt off!" She spat.

"Mom?" Dapplekit squeaked. "Yes," Petalshine replied. "Who is the white cat with the black tail and paws and black patches?" Petalshine pinned her ears back. *How does she know about Blossomkit? She is too young and I'm the only cat who's talked to her,* she thought. "Th-that was Blossomkit. She was your sister." She replied at last. "What happened to her? She's right here but she has stars in her pelt." She asked letting her curiosity about her lost sister take over. *Why is Petalshine looking at me like she can't see Blossomkit?* "Um...Blossomkit's dead. What do you mean, you can see her?" Petalshine stammered, looking around confused. "She's right next to you, how can't you see her?" Dapplekit squeaked. Blossomkit's spirit nodded her head. "No, Dapplekit, she can't see me. Only you can." She whispered. "What do you mean? Your laying between her paws." Dapplekit squeaked. "Who are you talking to?" Petalshine squealed. Dapplekit only glanced at Petalshine for an answer. "What mom said is true. I died before I was born. I got stuck and suffocated. I'm sorry Dapplekit, I have to go to StarClan, I can't stay with you anymore. I'm so sorry, we'll be together again someday. Good-bye for now Dapplekit." She meowed, and faded away. "No! Blossomkit come back, don't leave yet!" Dapplekit cried. Petalshine bent her head to touch noses with her crying kit. "It's ok Dapplekit. Nobody lives forever." She mewed trying to calm Dapplekit down. "Yeah, well Blossomkit never got to live!" Dapplekit hissed.

Blossomkit rubbed her tail across Dapplekit's spine. "Good-bye Dapplekit." She murmured. She leapt up and bounded up into the sky. She watched from a cloud as Petalshine tried to calm down the distressed Dapplekit. Blossomkit sighed. *I wish I didn't have to go so soon. All I ever wanted was to play with Dapplekit.* She stood up and ran up into the sky. She dipped her head to Willowpaw. A white she-cat with a grey stomach. She had befriended Willowpaw not that long ago. She had asked how she had died. *I wonder what it would feel like to be hit by a Monster.* She wanted to ask Willowpaw that because that's how she died. *Maybe I can play with Dapplekit tonight when she goes to sleep.* "Mosspelt, where's Badgerstar?" She asked the mottled brown she-cat. "Over there." She replied, pointing with her tail at the large tom that was crouching under a tree. "Can I have my apprentice ceremony here?" She asked him. "Yes, but only StarClan will know. Every cat in the living world will remember you as Blossomkit." He replied.

Ravenflight went into the nursery to check on Dapplekit and Petalshine. "I heard screeches is everything okay." She asked staring at Petalshine's shocked expression. "N..no Blossomkit was talking to Dapplekit." She squealed. "Wait. My prophecy. There was a branch, it snapped and part of it was washed away.. Petalshine you know what this means? Dapplekit is part of a prophecy." She purred. "What? How? What does a stick have to do with my kits!" She screeched. "Well the stick represents both of your kits. The part that washed away was Blossomkit and the part that stayed is Dapplekit." She answered.
