Magicstar's Curse

Prologue

An orange she-cat glared out at an empty field. "Is everyone here?"

A gray tom, a slightly younger gray tom, a blue-gray she-cat and a golden tom appeared.

"Whitefur and Firestorm couldn't make it." The golden tom replied.

"That’s my mother and friend for ya." The orange she-cat flicked her tail. "We should continue."

"Are you sure cursing Magicstar is a good idea, Emberstar?" The blue-gray she-cat mewed. "He has suffered enough losing two mates and three kits."

"I know." Emberstar mewed, her heart twisting in grief. "But he's losing himself, Bluefire. I don't want him to turn out like his father."

"Darkclaw killed all of us here." The golden tom spat, darkly. "I don't want the next generation to have to deal with the same issue."

"My point exactly, Aloestripe." Emberstar replied. She looked at Bluefire. "Please trust us. No harm will come to him or his loved ones. I give you my word."

Bluefire raised her head defiantly. "If that were the case, we wouldn't be dead now would we?" She stormed off, her pelt's stars shining after her.

Chapter 1

"What did I do?!" Turtleclaw wailed.

"You fool! You keep catching measly amounts of prey, because you're too busy flirting with Novablaze!" Magicstar growled. "Do you think I like that?"

"No." Turtleclaw shrank back in terror.

"Hey! Back off rattail!" Streakfur appeared, her black and white speckled tail rose angrily. "You didn't seem to care when your own daughter became a mate and pregnant as an apprentice. So leave my sister alone, Fox-dung!"

Streakfur's mate, Skystorm wrapped his tail around her. "Please... don't." His green eyes filled with sadness. "There’s no hope for him now. His grief has killed him on the inside." His voice was low as though he didn't want to be heard.

Magicstar glared at Streakfur, then Turtleclaw, then Skystorm. "You all have apprentice duties now."

"For how long?" Skystorm looked at his father/leader.

"Until I say so." Magicstar replied.

Skystorm's shoulders slumped and he led the she-cats away.

Incomplete, I just don't have time to work on it now. I'll write more later.
