Embermoon's path PART I

Chapter II

Where have I seen this cat before? Emberkit risks padding closer, he even has the same strange moon marking as me! Could we be kin? No you’re being ridiculous you couldn’t be kin he’s a Rain Clan cat. Emberkit shuddered at the thought of being half Rain Clan, half Flame Clan. There’s no way I could be half-clan! Even if I found out I was I would never tell the Clan! They would laugh at me like I was a kittypet! Wait, what if I’m half Flameclan, half kittypet! No! I could never be! I have both my parents here. Emberkit shook his head and tried to focus on the conversation between Cinderfern, Oakpelt, and two Rain Clan cats.“But, Oakpelt, can’t you see these kits are hurt badly! If you bring them to Littlefog, maybe I won’t report you to Flaremoon. He would be mad that you injured kits!”Emberkit heard his mother wail. Why does she care so much? Their just Rain Clan cats. I bet she’s doing this so she won’t get yelled at, or so that she can protect me from these cats. Emberkit wasn’t completely sure that was true. His mother’s icy blue eyes were filled with concern and surprisingly, care! She’s looking at him as if he’s her kit!

Suddenly, he hears a rustling and a quiet shriek from the river. Emberkit runs over as fast as he can, and when he gets there and sees what he sees, he runs back to Cinderfern.

“What is it? Did they catch us?” Stripedkit shook her head. “No look that cat looks exactly like you!” Ashkit took another look at the gray kit.

In fact this kit did have some similarities to him. He had the same mysterious moon marking.

 

“You have the same colored pelt and everything. Maybe you guys are kin!” Ashkit rolled his eyes. “No way you have bees in your brain ! He’s in Flame clan!”

 

“If you say so.” mewed Stripedkit. He shifted his eyes over to the warrior’s den, which reeked with the smell of sickness. I wonder what’s gotten them so sick.A voice rang across the clearing, “All cats old enough to catch their own prey and fight in battle come to Flame ledge for a clan meeting.” His ears perked up with excitement. A clan meeting. I wonder what it’s going to be about.

 

“As you all know our clan has been suffering from greencough, and worse some have died.” The orange tom’s voice trembled as ifhe was remembering a dreadful memory and his gleaming yellow eyes were filled with pain. “So for now on warriors will go to look for catmint,we will send patrols to go look for some. Our medicine cat Littlefog is running low. Without the herbs we need, our clan could die.”

 

Ashkit felt a pang of sympathy for Flame clan. Rain clan didn’t have any illnesses and they were coping well. “What does this herb look like, and where does it grow?” yelled a cat from the crowd. The medicine lifted himself to his paws. “It’s a leafy green plant with a delicious smell to it. You should find some growing near the abandoned Twoleg place.” The cat gave a curt nod and Littlefog sat down again.

 

“That is the end of our meeting. Go get some rest for the search patrol tomorrow. We will hold a vigil for Cherrybranch and Tinykit.”

 

A tan tabby she-cat runs over to the Flame ledge with a light brown tom with white belly and paws. “Tinykit, but when, how, why?!”Her expression is filled with grief as she looks up at the leader. The leader gave the she cat a sympathetic look. “They hunt in Moon clan now.”
