Moonkit & Daysky
Um, short story about my Oc Moonstone and her mom, Daysky. The story will be told when Moonstone was a kit. Hope you enjoy this story!
Moonkit nudged her mother, purring as she napped. Daysky smiled. "Are you sure that this little kit will be an apprentice next moon? I don't believe it." She joked. Moonkit sat up, making a serious (but cute) expression.
"Mommy, I will become an apprentice next moon. I will go into battle and destroy rival clans all alone. I will hunt a thousand squirrels in one single hunting patrol. I will-"
Moonkit was interrupted when Daysky started to tickle her, turning the boastful kit Into a victim of begging for mercy. Daysky purred. "Great apprentice indeed. I wonder what will happen when a fox catches you."
"I will fight the fox and rip its pelt!" Moonkit breathed out between a fit of giggles. Daysky quickened her pace, sending ripples of laughter through the squirming kit.
One day before the next moon~
Moonkit couldn't help but bounce around in her nest. Tomorrow was when she would be declared apprentice! She rolled around in the bedding, fluffy tail waving wildly. Daysky padded into the den and purred. "Excited for your big day, eh?"
Moonkit nodded.
Shadowflight, the clan deputy, was a large silver Tom with white stripes and gold eyes.
He chuckled. "But not as exciting when your mom and I became mates like a hundred moons ago."
Shadowflight licked Daysky's ear. Daysky flashed him a smile, then scoffed. "I'm not that old. Plus you should be happy. It's your daughter." Moonkit heard many of the senior warriors say that she posed more of a resemblance to Shadowflight than to Daysky. But it is the eyes that matter. Moonkit was told this many times by her father, mostly to tell her Daysky hold a part in her too.
Daysky broke the silence by taking Moonkit out for a stroll around the forest. The mother and daughter were just beside a border between their clan and another, when a large russet fox leaped out of the bushes.
Daysky hissed and bared her fangs, but the fox started to circle them both. Daysky pounced and started to bite the fox, but it was too fast. The fox turned rapidly, making Daysky drop on the ground, belly exposed.
"RUN, MOONKIT!" were the last words Moonkit heard after sprinting towards the direction of the camp.
A patrol of warriors were sent towards the direction of the fox. They reported back that they chased it away and broke a few of its bones, but made no mention of Daysky.
Moonkit didn't need to know. She knew her mother was dead, probably dragged away somewhere and eaten. Shadowflight was screeching like crazy, and was sent to the medicine cat because of some minor self-inflicted wounds.
Moonkit's eyes started to fill with tears while she stared off into the distance. Her mother was sent to Starclan, and there was nothing she can do about it. Moonkit wept. She even missed her apprentice name, refusing to eat and drink. She was still mourning for her mother. "What will happen when a fox catches you?"
"I will fight the fox and rip its pelt!"
She didn't. She didn't rip its pelt. She didn't even lay one claw mark on it. Moonkit ran, and sacrificed her mother for her life.
Moonkit soon took the name Moonpaw one moon after. Her mentor was Goldenstream, who was kind and sarcastic like her mother. She became best friends with the young warrior when she became a warrior and had the name Moonstone. Shadowflight was driven towards insanity, wailing nonsense every time Moonstone came to visit him. He often whispered Daysky's name when he slept. The clan got a new deputy, and was surprised when the leader chose Goldenstream. Moonstone was happy for Goldenstream for being chosen. Moonstone then got an apprentice named Swiftpaw, eager but smart. Moonstone got over with her mother's death, but hates foxes more than she had used to.
