Scale and Cracks| A tale of bravery.

[Swifty]

The young kit had been abandoned by his mother, A small brown kit. It was very cold out, and he stumbled over to a warm area. He opened his eyes. A mother, and her kits were playing. One kit in particular he liked. A small grey tabby. The mother looked at him, and murmured something to a warrior. The warrior looked directly at him. "He isn't in our litter.." The queen meowed. "Should I get rid of him?" The warrior asked grimly. "No! I can take care of him. He did nothing wrong!" The mother said, Defending him. The grey kit looked at him. "My name's Swiftkit." She mewed happily. The tom-kit looked at him. "I'm Barleykit." He mewed. "I'll call you... Scale." The mother meowed to him. ~ When he became apprentice age ~ "You have my trust that as a rogue, You'll help the clans." Flowerstar meowed to him. "Of course!" He meowed. "You may leave my clan. Good luck young one, " She meowed. Swifttail touched noses with him. "Meet me at the hollow.. When I'm old enough." She murmured. "On Barleyfall's honor. He helped our clan, his death was noble. I admire him for that." Scale padded into the wild with the voices of friendly LakeClan cats. He had traveled for about an hour, When He spotted a small orange kit mewing in pity, He was hungry, and needed care. Scale looked around, No mother. He picked the kit up in his teeth. The kit wriggled as Scale took it to his den. He set it down and picked up a small mouse. "Eat this, I have nothing else.." He placed it down and the kit ate it. Scale noticed something on the kit's pelt. It looked like a crack. "Your name is... Cracks." He decided. He had to leave the kit there, in order to meet Swifttail. "Just..Stay here." Scale brought Swifttail to his den. "What did you need to show me?" She asked. "This." He showed her Cracks. "You have a mate!?" She meowed startled. "No! I found him.." He meowed, sitting down. Swifttail sat next to him, Pressing her fur against his pelt. "I should get going, See you in a moon." She purred. ~ Cracks was now 2 moons ~ Swifttail looked at Scale. "I wish I Had kits, " Swifttail murmured. "Anything happening in the clans?" He asked. "I'm deputy!" She purred. "That's wonderful!" Scale meowed.  " And Flowerstar is injured very badly, It's her LAST LIFE.." Swifttail murmured, Her head lowering. Swifttail looked at him, Her eyes hiding something. ~ Scale and Cracks now older, Scale has no idea about Swifttail's kits. ~

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ MUST TAKE A FEW MOMENTS TO PROSSESS SADNESS ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scale looked around for Cracks. "The mangy furball.." He muttered. He found him laying in a square of sunlight. "Come here!" ~~~~ After that because I'm lazy :3 ~~~~~ Scale heard something in the Forestclan camp. "Badger attack!" "CRACKS! COME HERE!" They dashed over and fought. Scale stopped and looked at his daughter ~ Found out :3 ~ :Something good must come from this battle..: He thought. Sharp claws dug into his back and he fell. "Scale! Noo.." Cracks dashed over to him. "Don't leave me... Please!" He mewed like a kit. "Go to Swiftstar.. She'll take you in.." He murmured taking his last breath, He went limp. Cracks looked at the cat who raised him, Tears rolling onto his orange pelt. "You were like my father..." Cracks took one last look at his friend, Before getting the apprentices to safety. ~~ AFTER THE BATTLE ~~ "I should get going..." Cracks meowed lowering his gaze from Thicketstar.


~~~~ WAITING LONGER XD ~~~~

The orange tom bounded into the LakeClan camp and a few cats looked at him. Swiftstar stepped onto her ledge. "What brings you here," She asked. "I-I'm Cracks.." He stammered looking at her in fear. "Oh.." She replied. Cracks eyes clouded with pain and Swiftstar nodded her head. "I already know.. Come and we will mourn him together." She beckoned him with her tail. He ran forward.

~ She had trained him and he now is a warrior ~ Cracks left into the forest. He had told Swiftstar that he would not return, And she told him to stay because he is welcome.

Cracks had been in the forest for two moons when an apprentice came to him. "Nightpaw?" He asked. Nightpaw flicked his tail. "I want to be your apprentice. LakeClan doesn't want me, And the cat I love hates me.. Please,"

They trained for an hour. "I sense something... I- HAVE TO GO!" He darted onto the Thunderpath where Heatherpaw stood. "get out off mouse-brain!" He yowled lunging at her. "Why?" She asked. "Because I love you!" He growled. Cracks watched from the brambles. "Young love.." He purred. suddenly, A large lion-like tom killed Cracks. "Wh-Who?" He coughed. The large tom headed for a rogue camp. "LakeClan..." Cracks coughed. He took a last breath, And entered StarClan.
