Water Cat

n RiverClan, every 100 years a so-called Water Cat is born. These are mystical cats who have powers to control water, ice and snow, and share their soul with the legendary Water Stone, a huge glimmering crystal blue stone guarded by RiverClan cats in their camp. Songkit was born to a normal mother, and knew nothing of what she was. As she grows up she learns more of her powers, and discovers herself. But her sister Pebblekit is jealous. And seasons later when the evil ShadowClan plan an attack to destroy the Water Stone, what will happen to Songkit and Pebblekit's lives as they know them? '''This is also set in early clan life, when clans still don't follow very good rules. It is set before Herb Secrets, although the two stories have no link.'''

Chapter One
"Mother! Mother, look!" Songkit squealed with delight and hurtled out of the shady reed nursery, streaking across the damp grass. A tiny butterfly was fluttering around, it's dainty wings dappled with rich shades of red and orange. "Yes, it's very nice," mewed Doveheart, Songkit's mother, from where she was lying inside the nursery den near the entrance. "Hey, wait for me!" cryed Pebblekit, launching off after her sister. The elder One-Foot's whiskers were twitching in amusement from where she was watching them from the Elder's den. Pebblekit launched herself at her sister, paws outstretched, claws sheathed. She rammed into Songkit, but Songkit simply sprang back up and raced after the butterfly, occasionly swiping out with her little blue paws. "No fair!" squealed Pebblekit, scrambling back up and after her sister.

Songkit's glimmering blue eyes lit up. She was miles ahead of her sister. She reached out with a shaky paw. She swiped out a one of the butterfly's wings, but she missed and the momentum tossed her over in a huge circle. Thump! Songkit picked herself up from the heap she had landed in. Thankfully she was uninjured and shook her long, glossy blue coat. It blew in the wind like a flowing river, and the tabby markings looked like gentle ripples. Her eyes were a deep blue with lighter blue and silver flecks. Songkit bent over and briskly licked her fluffy white chest fur. She then licked a paw and drew it over her ear. When she looked up again, she only just managed to catch a glimspe of orange fluttering away. Songkit sighed and rolled onto her back, watching the sky. The translucent clouds floated across the soft blue sky, soft like candyfloss. Songkit had always wanted to touch the fluffy clouds, but had no idea how to. She sat up. She had an idea!

Songkit padded into the warm Elder's den. The two elders, One-Foot and Birchwhisker were curled up in one corner, sharing tongues. "One-Foot..." began Songkit. The elder raised her head. She had warm blue eyes that were always shining. One-Foot was the nicest elder in the forest (or at least she was for RiverClan cats!). She always loved to tell kits stories, and let the apprentices off their duties. Birchwhisker however, is a grumpy old tom who never stops complaining. Fetch me this, or Change my bedding, or bring me fresh-kill. He never stopped moaning and bossing the apprentices around. One-Foot had let everyone in on a fact though. Birchwhisker had a soft heart deep down, but a hard shell to break through. She always described it like some human candy she had once eaten. Nicest thing in the world, but gives you belly upsets!

"Why, hello Songkit!" mewed One-Foot. One-Foot knew all four kits by name. "What can I help you with today? Do you want a story? I could tell you the one about Tailstar, or the one about the time camp flooded. I was only an apprentice then-"

"Well, actually I was wondering if you knew how I could touch the clouds." Songkit shuffled her paws on the moss bedding. One-Foot stopped and thought, tilting her head to one side. "Songkit, there are many things that cats want to do, but not all are possible. You can keep trying to find a way, but I do not know of one." Songkit was confused. "Well, err, thanks." She padded out of the den. "Now don't come and hassle us with stupid questions again!" called Birchwhisker after her. Songkit padded back to her den, and curled up by her mother, breathing in her warm scent. Maybe Birchwhisker was right, she shoudn't go hassling the elders.
