Waspstar's Destiny --- Chapter 2

Webcatcher and his apprentice sniffed the border along twoleg place.

"I smell kittypet," the apprentice said. "But only one."

Webcatcher made a face, "I smell something rotting."

Little did they know amber eyes were watching them from the shadows. Ragged fur and a large scar created this hideous beast.

Blood stained his pelt, a pelt that he never washed. Blood that would be coated in new blood. 'Soon' he thought, 'soon I'll get my revenge.'

Slasher was on the move.

Speckpetal gave birth in the Medicine Cat den, along with Twineheart. Although the queens thought it was odd that the calico queen did not kit in the nursery, Lightwing assured them that he thought "there might be complications".

Speckpetal and Webcatcher had a daughter. She was named Sunkit for the former leader of Thunderclan. Sunkit was creamy brown, covered with light flecks on her face, back, tail, and legs. Her eyes were the same shade of blue as Speckpetal's and Lushpool's.

Lightwing and Twineheart's kit was rather odd looking. His coat was perfectly white, a trait often frowned upon. Most unusual, his eyes were blue, but so light he almost looked blind. His pupils were pink. His name was Snowkit. He was albino.

Snowkit thought that Sunkit was his sister, but he didn't know both his parents were Medicine Cats. Both his parents broke the code. He wasn't supposed to be alive.

"Snowkit!" Speckpetal called. She hoped her kit would come back to the nursery and stop trying to play with the apprentices.

"Coming!" He walked over to his mother and was awfully thirsty. After several gulps of milk he rested on his stomache and soaked in the last of the suns rays of the day. "Speckpetal, one of the apprentices called me ugly."

"That's terrible! You most certainly are not! You're very unique looking, they're just jealous."

He smiled at this and began to put his nest of moss together.

"Hey Snowkit!" Sunkit said. She bounded over to him and knocked him over. "I was just talking to some apprentices and Fogpaw just told me that he thinks you're really ugly!" She giggled.

"Fogpaw's just jealous!" He said proudly.

Speckpetal laughed and held her kits close. She worried for the forbidden kit that the other cats didn't like him. Sunkit and her brother cuddled close to each other. Her plummed tail covered the albino kit's body for a warm slumber.

Waspfur stood on highrock between fourtrees. Four clans gathered below.

"Where is Solemnstar?" Milkstar, the beautiful white-pelted leader of Riverclan, asked.

"He is sick. I'm afraid it is a disease that cannot be cured nor spread. Lightwing has never seen anything like it." She looked up at the full moon. "Starclan is silent."

"That's a shame. Solemnstar was a great leader. Sunsteps would have been a fine leader too." She paused as Waspfur sighed a little. "How's Speckpetal doing? Icesplinter wanted to know."

Waspfur remembered hearing that Icesplinter and Milkstar became mates after Lushpool died. Though the Riverclan she-cat would bare him no kits, their love was quite obvious.

"She just had two fine kits, Sunkit and Snowkit." Waspfur thanked Starclan quietly to herself, "Snowkit is quite unusual. His pelt is pure white and his eyes are pink."

Milkstar's brow clenched together, "Very unusal." She blinked her large amber eyes. "He sounds like he looks like a rat."

Waspfur shrugged. "He does. He looks like a large ugly white rat."
