Prologue

"Call Shadowfire! Quickly!"

The small kitten bundled out of the Nursery, hurrying toward the medicine den. "Shadowfire! Leafstripe is kitting! Quickly!" The black she-cat scurried forward, dashing towards the Nursery.

"How is she?" Shadowfire burst into the den, seeing blood all over the floor. "No..."

"Molekit! Go and bring me cobwebs. Its sticky! Hurry!"

The little brown kitten hurried off, trying his best to reach the Nursery quickly. As they waited for Molekit, Shadowfire tended Leafstripe. "Sister, you must heal. Please, two kits are waiting for you..."

Leafstripe lifted her head, and smiled as she stared at two lovely kittens. "Too bad they're father isn't here." Shadowfire stroked them, then asked. "What are they're names?"

"Sunkit and Moonkit."

Shadowfire nodded. "Lovely names." Then she gasped. "Look! They have marks on them."

"One Sun, one Moon... Perfect names..."

"Here!" Molekit was here now, holding a swath of cobwebs. His worried gaze comfirmed everything. Leafstripe might be in the hands of StarClan.

Shadowfire stepped back worried. "She's in the hands of StarClan now. They'll decide whether or not she leaves."

The gathering cats watched silently as Leafstripe let out a final sigh, and left to StarClan. The remaining cats sighed, as they left the medicine cat to mourn.

Was this where the Clan rises?

StarClan left a message at the death of Leafstripe.

Life ends at one point,

but it starts again at another point.

One moon, one sun,

together like the sky.

Fate has chosen

Fate has started.

Shadowfire gasped. Stars were glowing brightly, even though it was still day. The stars were in a formation. One pattern showed a picture of the sun, one showed the picture of the moon.

"Two kits... Two symbols..."

The patterns glowed brightly, and Shadowfire bowed her head. "Fate has chosen..." She glanced at the two, struggling kittens. "Sunkit. Moonkit. Fate has chosen you."

Chapter One ~Life at First~ -Sunkit

"Sunkit!"

I rolled over. "What?" I always woke up early, but it seems like all the other kits got up earlier than I did. Except maybe one...

Moonkit was stretched out, so her pale belly fur was showing. I considered tickling her, but then held back. Moonkit was a monster when she was woken up early. It was only dawn though!

I scurried outside, spotting Thornkit. He was a good-looking tom who ignored all the she-cats. He wasn't very talkative, but was always pestered by she-cats. But to me, he was the best tom in the world. He shouldn't care about the other she-cats. His eyes should be on me.

But, Thornkit never seems to notice me. I shrugged, and padded towards the freshkill pile. We were almost six moons old, which meant we would become apprentices!

I spotted a vole, but then saw the warriors grumbling about their empty bellies. A good warrior always feeds their Clans first. I trotted over, picked up the vole, glanced toward the Nursery. The queens were well-fed. I walked over to the warriors, and places the vole down. "Here. This is for you."

The warriors smiled at me. "Thanks Sunkit. But are you sure you aren't hungry?"

"Nope, its okay. A good warrior always feed her Clan first. You need to eat, to feed us." I smiled at them, then walked away.

"Sunkit! Where have you been? We've been waiting for you!" Petalkit, a soft she-cat with luminescent green eyes stared at me. She was the nicest out of all the kittens, and she never backed down from an argument. After Moonkit, my sister, Petalkit was my best friend.

Everyone scorned me for sticking with Moonkit all the time.
