Keep Your Hopes Up High and Your Head Down Low: Prologue

'''Hiya! So I decided to make a story about....Wait I shouldn't spoil it. Anyway, I have a song called All I Want by a Day to Remember, and some of the lyrics encouraged me to write a story about the meaning of the lyrics (well my version of the meaning). So I hope you enjoy the story when I'm completely done. Allegiances and Prologue today! By the way, this is like...maybe 12 years after the Last Hope....And also you might recognize a Marvel and G.I Joe character name....'''

'''OMG I'M DONE!!!! Okay now for prologue....'''

Prologue
"You will never be a good warrior, Badgerkit!" The white she-cat spat at the black-and-white kit.

Badgerkit shrank to the root of the tree, afraid. ''What did I do wrong? Why do you only treat me like this? What about Stormkit and Rainkit like this?''

"Pathetic little kit! Come on, go back to camp. And don't you dare tell anyone what I did!" Badgerkit's mother hissed.

Badgerkit limped behind Frostwing, his shoulder stinging and blood welled on his nose. He crept through the thorn tunnel and ignored the curious stares that the warriors and apprentices gave him.

"Go in there with your brother and sister," Frostwing ordered, shoving Badgerkit.

Badgerkit glared at his mother and shook his pelt out, then crawled inside. Stormkit and Rainkit were sound asleep, and Leafshade was cleaning her pelt.

Badgerkit turned his face and curled beside Stormkit. His nose stung, and dried blood caked his nicked ear.

What did I do to deserve this?

Waking from a short nap, Badgerkit flinched at the sight of Frostwing standing in front of him.

"Come on, I want to take you on another walk," She mewed.

"No," Badgerkit mewled firmly.

"Come on!" Frostwing growled, snatching Badgerkit up by the scruff.

Where's Ashclaw? Badgerkit thought as he searched the camp for his father, Frostwing doesn't treat me right!

He winced in pain as Frostwing threw him to the ground once in the forest.

"What is it now?" Badgerkit asked in a scared tone.

"I never want to see you in ThunderClan again! You hear me, piece of fox-dung? If I see you, I will kill you! You know what you did, think about it! Now go!" Frostwing snarled.
