False Peace

Prologue
"Six kits.

All born on the same day.

They are tied together.

Like it or not, they are one."

The medicine cat stared at the Starclan messenger incredulously. "That's .. all?"

The messenger dipped his head. "That is all Starclan can say Dappledfeather."

Dappledfeather nodded. "I see Swiftstar."

"Be careful Dappledfeather. Evil rises from the least expected places."

"Evil? But the clans are safe. Nothing could happen to us."

Swiftstar looked sad. "Do not be blinded by deceit, you will need all your vision in the moons to come."

With that, he was gone.

Chapter 1 My Beginning
Some have a hard beginning.

I didn't.

I was lucky.

Looking back I see what I was blind to.

"Snowkit!"

I sighed. "Yes mother?"

"Where are you going? I need you to help clean up bedding! Why can't you be obedient like Silverkit?"

Silverkit was sitting behind mother, a smug look on her face.

"Because Silverkit's a brat." I thought silently.

"I don't want to!" I whined. "Why can't I help dad? It's funner!"

"'More fun' Snowkit." Mother corrected.

"More fun." I repeated, thinking, "Whatever."

"I need you to help me, and your fathers out hunting." Mother explained. "Now get to work."

I pouted sullenly as I obeyed as slowly as possible, picking up a wad of old moss and carrying it out of the nursery.

Silverkit picked up a wad too, dropping it the next second. "Oh! Ouch! Mother! There's a thorn in it! I can't pick it up!"

I watched in disgust as mother led a whimpering Silverkit to the medicine cat den. Now I would have to clean up that baby's mess as well as mine. I picked up Silverkit's moss, realizing there was a sharp thorn in it, but I was determined to think badly of my sister.

"I bet she did it on purpose, just to get me to do her work." I grumbled.
