Prologue
"There's only one kit." Rabbittail said. "A little she-kit. She's pretty weak so you'll want to watch her. What do you want to name her?"

Brackenfur looked at his mate. Duskberry was curled up against the tiny bundle, licking it. She looked up at the two toms, then back at her kitten. She paused for a moment thoughtfully," Starkit." she meowed. "Perhaps our ancestors will take pity on her and she'll live."

The she-cat clearly wasn't optimistic about her kit's survival and she licked it's head again.

"What if she becomes leader?" asked Brackenfur. He snorted. "Starstar?"

Rabbittail's whiskers twitched and Duskberry rasped her tongue against her kit for another moment, then stared directly into Brackenfur's amber gaze. Her green eyes were serious and sorrowful.

"Brackenfur, all of our kits have been dissappointments," she said, thinking of their other litters, not even trying to make him think more of Starkit. "Traitors, running away to be kittypets, evil and ambitious....what makes you think this one'll be any different?"

Brackenfur nudged Starkit with his tail, not noticing that Rabbittail had slipped out. "I dunno...." he muttered.

Duskberry broke her gaze with him, "So she's Starkit."

Brackenfur nodded and his gaze softened a little when he licked Duskberry's cheek, "Whatever you want."

Duskberry nodded and her eyes slipped back to her kit. Brackenfur licked her ear quickly and padded out.

"Oh Starkit," she meowed softly, drawing her kit closer, glad the nursery was empty. "Please don't be as much a failure as your older siblings....please. You don't have to be leader, just don't die....or..." she thought of all the things her previous kits had done and decided to save some time by not listening them all, "Or do anything your siblings haven't done."

Starkit didn't move much, just nudged closer to her mother's belly. Duskberry decided to take this as a sign that her kit was stronger then she seemed.

Lilypaw ran in. Duskberry looked up at the medicine cat apprentice. "Yes?" she said drowsily.

"You'd better come quick," the small she-cat told her worriedly. "Shrewpaw and Foxpaw have been in the medicine storage!"

"I just had another kit, surely some of my older children can wait!" Duskberry snapped.

Lilypaw nodded and backed away as the older she-cat turned back to her new kit, "Now where was I..."

Chapter 1
Starkit opened her eyes and looked around the nursery. It was empty and the pale dawn light streaked into the shafts at the top of the nursery ceiling, casting a shadowy light on Duskberry's tan, brown, and black tortoiseshell pelt as she slept peacefully.

Starkit wondered what her pelt look like. ''Is it as pretty? ''

She twisted around, trying to glimpse it but her eyes were still not very good and moss was covering her pelt. She thrashed around, trying to see what she looked like but all she managed to do was crash against her mother and let out a squeal.

"Oof! What the-" Duskberry's eyes flew open and she saw Starkit and gave a purr. "Hey little one...you opened your eyes!"

"Yes!" meowed Starkit, pleased with how pretty her voice sounded. She looked at Duskberry's pretty green eyes and wondered what hers looked like in frustration.

Duskberry purred, "I can't wait to tell Brackenfur! And all your siblings!"

Starkit looked around. The nursery was completely empty. "Did they already go out?" she asked curiously.

"Well...in a way. They're all apprentices or warriors now."

"Really? How many? What're their names? Will they visit me?" Starkit perked her ears.

Duskberry didn't look too flustered and starkit got the feeling she'd been pestered like this a lot. "I've had 2 litters before you. One of 3 and one of 2. The first one was Mouseclaw, Flowersplash, and Darkwind. The second litter are apprentices now, Foxpaw and Shrewpaw. They might. They're very busy making tro-with their warrior duties."

Starkit blinked in confusion, wondering what her mother was saying. They she nodded. "Well..."

"Don't you want to go explore?"

Explore?

The thought hadn't crossed her mind. She suddenly felt very excited, realizing that this was her chance to see her territory-or at least sme of it.

I'm going to be a warrior!

Excitement pricked at her paws and she nodded, "Yes please!"

Duskberry's whiskers twitched. Her eyes seemed confused though as though none of her other kits had ever not wanted to go exploring as soon as they opened their eyes. She blinked slowly, then licked Starkit's head.

"Go ahead little warrior. Come back soon."

Starkit nudged her mother with her nose and pushed her way out of the nursery, making sure to avoid the barbed brambles.

She blinked and gasped at the new world in fornt of her.

Chapter 2
It's HUGE!

Starkit looked aorund, not trusting her eyes to take in the entire camp at once. An appietizing yet revolting planty kind of smell drifted from a cave. Complaints rose from a tree trunk with a gap in it. A few cats were playing outside of a lowhanging bush. One of them, a slender, ginger, she-cat with gleaming green eyes caught Starkit's eyes. A huge, huge bush was still, but then it trembled and a big cat pushed it's way out. Starkit let out a gasp. The other cats playing, that already seemed so large, were little compared to this cat-who could be nothing other than a warrior.

And there was still more! A big pile of grays and browns was in the middle of camp and Starkit tentavily padded over. She saw they were the dead bodies of different animals. A small animal with a tail as long and fluffy as its body, a tiny, round creature, a thing with feathers and wings....

Starkit nosed her way further and furth inside the pile. Suddenly she realized she couldn't see the way she had come back in. Was she lost?

"Hey, what's this?"

A voice sounded from all around her and there was a hard tug on her tail. Starkit let out a squeal and tried to squirm away.

"Hey, Flowersplash, I think this one's still alive!"

Starkit was dragged out of the fresh-kill pile by her tail and out into the light. She stared up at a narrow faced tom in fear. Were his whiskers twitching? She was too frightened to care.

He looked puzzled and amused at the same time, "Starkit?"

"Um....yah...?"

He snorted. "Foxpaw! Come check this out!"

The ginger she-cat Starkit had seen before stalked over, her black paws hardly making a sound on the camp floor. She looked at the tom, "What Shrewpaw?"

"I found Starkit, you know, Mom's latest litter," both of them giggled a little at the last word and Starkit flinched. It wasn't her fault she was all alone! "Was trying to make a nest in the fresh kill pile!"

Foxpaw burst out laughing and Starkit suddenly realized these cats were her siblings. She ducked her head, wondering how she could've been so stupid as to make a fool of herself in front of them.

"Now what's this?" another voice sounded form behind Starkit.

More later!
