"Hold on,we'll save you!" hollered an orange tabby cat.
"it's too late! The flood water's rising to fast,you can't save all of us in time!" replied a tortishell she-cat stuck on the raft,her voice filled with sorrow.
"But we must!your all apart of our clan,we have to find a way to save you somehow!" Cried a small apprentice.
"you all just have to go on without us!" Wailed a she-cat named Snowpelt,the bravest one on the raft.
"Aquapelt,you still have milk left,please care for my kits!" cried a gray queen looking apon the cats on the raft from the edge of a rock.
"I will Shadesong!" Aquapelt called back, her tail wrapped around three tiny kits.
"oh,my other kits will miss them" Shadesong sobbed.
"They probebly won't even remember them" The orange tabby remarked bitterly.
"Can't we jump in and save them Firestar!?!" bellowed a ginger she-cat who was preparing to plunge into the churching dark water to save them.
"No,I'm sorry Squirelflight,the water's to fast and too deep for even the strongest Riverclan warrior to attempt swimming in" Firestar replied with great sadness and dread in his heart.
Just Then the two weak vines holding the abandoned twoleg raft in place snapped under the pressure of the rising water,sending the cats trapped on it drifting away along with the current of the water...
CHAPTER 1
"May all cats old enough to run please gather 'round!" Called Snowstar's voice from a Large rock towering abouve a make-shift camp. When the wairy group of cats were all assembled,she continued. "It has been a moom since we were taken from Thunderclan by The Great Flood. We must accept that Thunderclan might never find us again. We must join together as a new clan until the day we are reunited with Thunderclan, along side the other clans by the lake. From this day forward we will be known as Lightningclan,in honor of not only the clan we lost but the clan we have renewed with the discovery of this new land!"
All around,the clan cats were wairy and unshure at first, but they soon began to cheer. "Lightningclan,Lightningclan,Lightningclan!"
In the back of the group, A small,Pure-black kit named Nightkit was lost in her thoughts.After joining in the cheers of her clanmates,she turned to her friend Starkit,who was beside the fresh-kill pile. "I still don't get it." She mewed, frustraited and puzzled.
"What?" Asked Starkit, dropping the plump vole she had plucked from the pile in the hopes of squeezing a story from the elders.
"Well,Aquapelt says she's Happykit,Sharkkit,and my mother, but we look nothing like her.Not even our eyes are the same!" Nightkit replied, lost in her deep frustration and thought.
"Mabey you should ask who your father is." Starkit suggested. "You might get your pelt and eye colors from him." She added between gulps of the vole she'd dropped.
"Oh,I guess that could be true. Thanks Starkit,I never thought of that!" Nightkiy replied excitedly,running off to the nursery. Padding up to the enterance, she spotted her siblings in the distance,playing with a fluttering moth. Looking back twards the nursery, She spotted Aquapelt comming outof the enterance twards her. Rushing over to her mother's side,She started to ask the questions that were racing inside her mind, rolling off her little pink tounge in a rush. "Hey mom,who's our dad? Do I look like him? Do Sharkkit or Happykit look like him? Is he dead or alive?" Nightkit blurted,her curiocity and anticipation making it hard to stay still as she patiently waitied for her mother's answer. Her heart was filled with a eager,happy feeling, bit it melted when she saw her mother flinch and her eyes fill with sadness,and something else she couldn't quite reconize.
With a sigh,Aquapelt responded. "It's time I stop lying.Sharkkit,Happykit,Please come over here a momment,I have somthing I must tell you" She called out to the kits.When all three kits had assembled and were ready to listen she began. "I have somthing I must confess. The truth,like you've probebly began to wonder,is that I am not your real mother.. Your real mother, the one that kitted you, is in Thunderclan. Because we haven't found a way back nor have they found us,you might never truly meet her. I don't know who your father is,or if your mom and dad are even still alive. But I want you to know that I loved,and always will love you,as if you were my own and I'm so very sorry for decieving you all this time. The clan and I thought it'd be better if you never found out,but its unfair to hide the truth from you."
Nightkit went ridgid with shock. My parents are in Thunderclan? What if they've forgotten about me? Do they even care that they're kits are gone? Nightkit parted her jaws,as if to ask more questions, but when she saw Aquapelt's devistated expression she decided not to ask anymore. Noticing her littermates snuggling up to Aquapelt in an attempt to comfort her, Nightkit shook herself and padded forward to join in.
"It's ok" Happykit mewed to the queen. "We understand. We love you even though you aren't our mom". They snuggled there for a while, comforting and sharing eachother's warmth until Nightkit spotted the clan's medicine cat Winterbite. Breaking away from the huddle, she let out a soft rumbling purr. "I told Winterbite I'de learn some new herbs with him today." She informed her family, Bounding off to the medicine cat den.
Spotting Nightkit, Winterbite flicked his tail in greeting. "Hey there Nightkit, ready to learn some new herbs?"
"yep!" Nightkit mewed, ready for her exciting lesson.
