Morning Shine
-=-=-=-

I've always thought the world was just a dream. Everything is fake to me,
but to everyone it seems real. Life feels like were all being
controled. I never understood how life was just another ordinary nightmare.

-=-=-=-

Chapter One

The sun broke above the snowy mountains. The dew in the grass sparkled
as a new day came apon the clans. Snow sparkled as the light
shined against it. The clan awoke emerging from their dens slowly.
Silence broke at the noise of kits playfully attacking eachother in the nursery.

"You can't catch me, Morningkit!" Teased an older kit in the nursery. Her
fur shone in the light showing her true colors, but clumps of moss still sticked to her
fur. A smaller kit ran out, and chased the older kit.
"Berrykit!" Groaned the younger kit. Laughing came from the other clan cats
watching them play in the snow.
"Calm down, Young kits." Meowed a skinny, and old cat padding out of the
warriors' den. Berrykit turned toward the older cat, and stuck her tongue
at the cat.
"You're not my mom, Raincloud!" She giggled, and chased Morningkit, which
was the creamy-orange bi-color padding around in the melting snow.

"Kits these day." Smiled Raincloud heading towards the fresh kill pile for a
morning bite. Berrykit spotted Poolingstar leap onto the
high ledge.
"Morningkit! I'm getting my apprentice ceremony!" She mewls excitedly.
Berrykit barely could stay still. Suddenly, she spot the medicine cat talking with
Poolingstar. She began to get curious. Berrykit padded
up the hill, and carefully listened to what
their medicine cat is saying.
"I'm not sure who I want to become a medicine cat apprentice." Meowed
the medicine cat. Poolingstar stared at her sharply.
"You know your mentor hasn't died yet." Poolingstar laughed.
The medicine cat spotted Berrykit suddenly.
"Well, Berrykit is being terribly impatient, come on!"
The medicine cat smiled at Poolingstar. Suddenly, Morningkit
crept up behind Berrykit.

"Hey Berrykit!" She mewls at her startling her.
Berrykit groans, then pads down the hill spotting Poolingstar
on the high ledge.
"Let all cats old enough to hunt for their own prey gather beneath high ledge!"
Poolingstar cried out, his voice echoed around the camp. Many cats
emerged from their dens, and gathering beneath the ledge.
"Today, a kit is becoming an apprentice!" He stared at Berrykit.
She began to get excited instantly, and leaped about the clearing.
"Berrykit, step forward." He said to the ball of energy.
Berrykit stepped forward. Her denmates stared at her
proud, so was her mother.

"Berrykit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Berrypaw. Your mentor will be Hazelmoon. I hope Hazelmoon will pass down all she knows on to you." He spoke, and watched them touch noses. He glanced around staring at the deputy nearby.
"Also, Hiddenclan has been a bit hostile around our borders, so be sure to mark our borders
more often." He stared down at the cats beneath his paws.
Berrypaw sit by her mentor waiting for the clan to be dismissed.
"Oceanblaze was found dead this morning, those who were close to her will sit
vigil by her." Poolingstar said. Berrypaw didn't notice sorrow in his rough tone of voice.

"Clan dismissed..."

Chapter Two
-=-=-=-

The sunlight shone on Morningkit's pelt. She quietly brushed her
tiny kit tongue against her thick fur. Morningkit's fur looks almost
white from the snow falling on it from the games before her only playful friend
became an apprentice. She turned toward the sky.
"What is my destiny?" She mumbled, hopefully her mother didn't hear
her mumbling to herself. Morningkit watched Berrypaw
have fun with the elders, then she jumped up, and sprinted to the
Elders' den.
"Oceanblaze?" She called out, but then she spot Oceanblaze's dead body lying on the floor.
Morningkit scooted herself towards her. Berrypaw padded in
with moss dangling from her jaws. She carefully changed the
Elder's bedding.
"I'm so sorry, Morningkit." Says one of the elders. Raincloud was sitting
with another elder, but didn't seem to notice Morningkit.
Morningkit rushes out of the nursery boredly. She plops down into her
nest. Maybe sleeping the day away will help? She thinks. Morningkit slowly
closed her eyes, and began to fall asleep.

The sunlight peaked through the entrance shining onto her eyes.
Morningkit wakes up, and pads outside of the nursery, but this wasn't the camp...
She saw dead bodies of cats, and ran around. Suddenly, she woke up, and looked around.
Morningkit spotted cats limping into the clan camp, then she remembered that there was a gathering earlier. Morningkit almost ran out, but her mother stopped her.
"I want to see what is going on!" Morningkit moaned, and she spotted Berrypaw
coming inside. Morningkit's eyes lit up, and she ran to Berrypaw.
"Berrypaw!" She says excited, and Berrypaw smiled at her, and padded back
to her den.
"Aww, Berrypaw went away..." Morningkit padded back to the side
of her mother, and went back to sleep, but this time she didn't
have a dream at all.

Morningkit peaked her left eye open, then she opened the right. She
got up, and padded out of the den. 
Berrypaw had three squirrels, and a mouse dangling from
her jaws. Morningkit ran towards Berrypaw, but she ignored
her. Berrypaw drops the prey into the pile carefully.
"Berrypaw! What happened at the gathering?" Morningkit asked
her. Berrypaw simply ignored her, and padded back to her
mentor. Hazelmoon stared down at her.
"Tomarrow, we will learn battle training." Hazelmoon said to Berrypaw.
Berrypaw stared at the medicine cat watching her.
She felt a strange memory in her head.
Ripplesky? Berrypaw thought, but then shook her head.
"Is something wrong, Berrypaw?" Hazelmoon spoke to her, and her words
came out like blurs.

Morningkit played with a moss ball, but then heard Poolingstar call for a
clan meeting, again.
"Huh, another one?" Morningkit squeaked, then she saw a kit
run out of the nursery excited, then Morningkit realized who it was.
Berrypaw padded out from the Apprentices' den.
"Let all cats old enough to hunt for their own prey gather beneath high ledge!"
Called Poolingstar. Morningkit got curious, and padded towards the entrance to watch.
The cats were already gathered before he said the call.
"Today, another kit is becoming an apprentice. I forgot to
do her ceremony yesterday." He called out to the clan.
Berrypaw knew who it was, and she stared at Goldenkit.
"Goldenkit, step forward." Poolingstar said to the tall golden tabby
kit. Berrypaw saw her excitement, then shot her gaze at Poolingstar.
Goldenkit carefully stepped forward without falling.
"Goldenkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Goldenpaw. Your mentor will be Raincloud. I hope Raincloud will pass down all she knows on to you."
Poolingstar said. Goldenpaw was getting really excited, but then touched
noses with the old she-cat.
"Clan dismissed." Poolingstar said, and he leaped down off of the ledge.
"Hello, Goldenpaw." Said Raincloud. Berrypaw
padded off, and into her den to rest for a while.

Morningkit looked around, and sneaked out of the camp.
She padded through the melting snow, which felt colder
farther up the mountain. Morningkit padded through the snowy mountains,
which she was still in BlizzardClan territory. She didn't bother to
sniff around to see if she was crossing into another clan's borders.
"Hmm, it's warmer down here.." She mewed, and sniffed around, but all she
scented were stale scents of.... HiddenClan?!?

"I'm lost...!"

This is really great! The descriptions are lovely and set the wonderful atmosphere for the story. You feel happy and refreshed reading it, with a feeling of new, mysterious beginnings. Very nice! I love the format the story is set in, how it's set at the center. It makes it easier and more interesting to read. I liked the joke about the medicine cat. It's also nice to see a story done about a kit's life in this sort of way. It just feels different, which is a good thing. The names are also very pretty. This is all very nice to read and I look forward to more!

The one who knows is the one who keeps secrets and the one who keeps secrets is the one who knows so therefore my point is correct.

Heheh, thanks I'm glad you like it. Ginger asked me to use some of her ocs in it, but most of the others aren't her characters. (Her characters are: Morningkit, Berrypaw/kit, and Raincloud) I may or may not used my character in it which is Oceanblaze.

Double post.
Chapter two is done!!

-=-=-=-

Chapter Three

Soft pawsteps shift through the snow. The bushes move
near a small kit exploring through the strange forest. Wind blows the trees
side to side. Morningkit stares around confused. She heard a
growl come from the bushes, and began to run farther into the forest.
A shadowy figure follows her from behind, but Morningkit didn't
see what it looked like. The figure snaps at her small tail, which was bobbing
up and down while Morningkit was running through the forest.
Morningkit saw it's flame colored face, then recognized it was a FOX!
"There's something up ahead!" She mumbled spotting a camp up ahead, but
this wasn't familiar to the young kit. Morningkit saw something
leap above her head, and onto the fox.
It's a cat! She whispered to herself, and watched the cat rip the fox's fur
off, well sort of. Morningkit fell into the camp lightly, and she
spotted tons of cats in there. She sniffed the ground, then realized
where she is.
Hiddenclan! She thinks. Morningkit saw the cats were scratched up,
and then got curious all over again.

"It's a kit!" Muttered cats staring at the young kit.
Morningkit's eyes narrowed, then she heard what every cat in the clearing
were mumbling about.
"Oh... Hi?" Morningkit says.

(WIP, will be done in a few days)
