The Shadow of Night

&nbsp OK. This is my first Faniction, and it could use a little work. I'm sorry if it sucks, but here it is so far. Some of these names came from other people, so I wanted to give them credit. They know who they are!! Rainfire 01:53, March 27, 2010 (UTC) Rainfire

-Prologue-
After the familiar faces took the unruly cat off of my paws, I continued to search for what I sought.

And there I found them.

Pelt to pelt, eye to eye, strike to strike, they were equal.

They were together but they couldn't have been further apart.

I had learned to tell between them, but the fire in their eyes was equal, and all recognization was lost.

As they dissapeared amongst the fighting WindClan cats, another rouge slammed into my side, and the fight was on again.

Chapter 1
"Is ahe awake yet?" I heard from across the nursery.

"Hush Nightkit. She was born two days ago. Give her time," purred a queen.

I felt a prodding in my side.

"Wake up you stupid kit! Open your eyes!" another voice, a bit deeper than Nightkit's, said.

"Shadowkit! Redkit is not stupid! Get over here!" growled the queen.

"It's OK Redkit," whispered my brother, Solarkit, "Open your eyes whenever you feel like it."

He rasped his tongue over my ear and I purred.

I slept curled next to Solarkit. I raised my head and fidgeted a bit. I felt Solarkit sit up. He was a light sleeper, and was easily awakened.

"Redkit, are you ready to open your eyes?" he asked.

I nodded and opened them. Everything was so big and interesting, but I looked at my mother first. She was a stunning russet she-cat. Her eyes, watching me, were like big pools of green. Reflecting in them, I saw my own eyes. One gold and one that was all red except for my pupil.

She opened her white muzzle and said, "I think I know what your Warrior name will be."

I purred and looked at my brother. He had fluffy ginger fur and green eyes like our mother. His white tipped tail flicked when he saw my eyes.

"Cool!" he exclaimed.

He purred at me and said, "Your fur is so nice!"

I craned my neck to see my fur. It was shaggy and russet colored.

"The sleeper has awakened," said Nightkit from across the nursery.

I looked over and saw him and his twin, Shadowkit, sitting by their mother. Their mother was black with blue eyes and white paws. The twins were black with blue eyes, but I could see subtle differences. Nightkit had a longer tail and his eyes showed warmth and kindness. Shadowkit had broader shoulders and his eyes showed contempt and icyness.

"Nice eyes," Shadowkit sneered.

I shrank back a bit, and Solarkit stepped infront of me.

"Leave my sister alone!" he hissed bravely.

"And what if I don't," he retorted and pounced on Solarkit.

"Stop it!" I yowled and scratched at the bigger tom.

Nightkit bowled him over and the two brothers fought, but it was useless since they were evenly matched. The scuffle was broken up by my mother and the black queen.

"Stop it! Right now!" yowled the black queen.

They broke up, panting.

"Kits never learn do they, Ravenflight?" asked my mother.

Ravenflight looked at the twin toms and ordered, "You two go outside and play."

Shadowkit stomped out, while Nightkit look nonchalant about the whole thing.

"No they don't, Flamingsoot," replied the black queen, Ravenflight.
