 Moonkit
[Moonkit collapsed but jumped back on her feet, unwilling to show how tired and feeble she felt right now.]
"I-I should go.. I've caused you enough trouble." she mewed hardly able to still her dizzying mind.
"B-besides, I should be in the nursery.
I'm not even apprenticed..." she attempted a light laughing voice but knew that she had failed.
[Turning her head to look at Icestorm, she saw a memory slowly flickering to life in her eyes.
She turned away unable to look on any further.]
"Goodbye Icestorm. I..I'll see you later." she mewed.
[Moonkit raced to camp and dashed into the nursery.
She hadn't looked back.
She was scared of seeing what lie behind Icestorm's once kind looking eyes, that now appeared to her like pools of water...
Reflecting the fear and sadness that appeared in her own eyes.]

 "Moonkit I..." it was too late Moonkit had already ran towards the nursery. "Moonkit... I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I've caused you pain. I'm sorry." She whispered. IceStorm sighed as her tears rolled down her cheeks once more. She padded onwards, her wounds from the battle stinging her. She entered camp grounds and sat down near the tree stump once more. She felt waves of her emotions wash over her. REGRET....PAIN... SORROW... she felt these emotions and kept them locked away. She didnt want to hurt anyone nor did she mean to hurt anyone.

 [I padded into the center of the clearing, stretching. Then I noticed Moonkit dash away from Icestorm. It seemed something serious was going on.
I padded into the nursery.]
"Moonkit?" I whispered. "Are you alright?"
[My soft blue eyes gently glowed in the dim light, shining with honest concern. As my eyes adjusted, I saw Moonkit's soft figure just ahead of me.]

 [Silverstar burst into the clearing. She immediately padded after Thunderpaw. She glanced around camp, then headed into her den. She gave herself a quick grooming and padded back outside. She hurried into the medicine cat's den.] "Starpelt?"

Moonkit[Moonkit looked up very slowly, as if everything was in slow motion. Moonkit felt very hollow.] "Thunderpaw.." she said, as if in a dream. [Shaking her head she meowed on..] "So much has happened.. too much." she mewed, her voice sharp with pain.

  [I looked into the small kit's eyes.]
I bowed my head and said, "You have seen something you wished not to see...or remembered that which you have buried."
[I raised my head once more to her.]
"I have done the same. When Silverstar found me in the middle of that thunderstorm, she assumed I remembered nothing. I was too young to...but I do remember. I do remember everything."
[Searing hot pain ripped through me. I remembered a cat's scream and the smell of burning flesh.]
"I should have died. StarClan knows, I should have died. My mother did. But why I was spared...I don't know."
[I laughed bitterly.]
"I should be afraid of storms. But I'm not. They make me more powerful. I feel adrenaline rush through me when I hear thunder's roar..."
[I sighed.]
"Everyone has things they have hidden. I understand what you may hide. I hope you don't let it consume you."
[I stared deep into her eyes once more. The moonlight softly lit my deep black pelt.
I could always smell storms coming, far before any cat. It seemed that it rained when I was happy, and was sunny when I was gloomy. How was it that storms were something good for me? How could a cat love something they should hate?
Was I even cat at all?
I knew not, and the thought tortured me. Hurt me...to think that I was different to the degree where I doubted my own existence.
I hoped with all my heart that Moonkit wasn't suffering as I was. True, she's older than I was when this pain became my reality; but I wanted not to have someone to relate to if that was the cost.
I stared at her, and saw myself. She was almost like me, but pure white.
The normal, beautiful, daylight sky.]

Moonkit[Moonkit herad most of what Thunderpaw had said, but deep down she felt a tug in her gut.] "Oh, please no.." she whispered. [But it was too late she was spent whirring into the she-cat's (or are you a tom?) memories. She landed with a bump. A fury of senses hit her all at once, seared fur, thunder cracking in the distance, and rasping?] No, it's me! I'm rasping! she thoguht. But why? she thought. And she felt so much emtion, pain, sorrow and fierce determination. But she knew that she was dying. As she glanced up, she saw a beautiful black kit. It could be no one other than Thunderpaw, safe and sound. And as a final gesture, Moonkit took a breath, as she realized that she was Thunderpaw's mother, and let it all out.. Her eyes closing..] "Ahh." Moonkit gasped out as she came back to present Stormclan, leaving the horrible memory. [Warmth, on her hind-paw. And the words echoing loudly, she was sure Thunderpaw had heard them as well. You must pay a price for the things that you see..
This is a horrible fate that you cannot flee...[And Moonkit felt hot tears rolling down her face.]

FireStorm raced into the camp. "IceStorm." He whispered. FireStorm's face was in total shock. IceStorm was crying and her wounds were still showing. imediately FireStorm raced over to her and licked her wounds and tears away. FireStorm licked IceStorm's ears in comfort. "It's ok." he whispered.

Seeing FireStorm made her heart jump for joy. "FireStorm I..." IceStorm spilled out everything that had happened. FireStorm listened to her with intrest. When IceStorm was finished she rubbed her cheek against his muzzle. "Let's get some sleep. we will need it for tommorow. and you can apologise to moonkit tommorow as well ok?" FireStorm said. IceStorm just nodded her head and the two of them padded towards the warriors den.

 [Jadepaw walked into the clearing and watched enviously as Firestorm hurried over to Icestorm, before leaving with her into the warriors' den. As she watched, a single tear fell down from her eyes, before she batted it away and bounded over to the fresh-kill pile. Jadepaw grabbed a small vole and dragged it off with her and curled up underneath a tree. If Clan life was going to be like this everytime she saw another cat with Firestorm, something had to be done. Jadepaw glanced across the clearing to the Medicine Cat's den, where Silverstar was speaking to Starpelt. Losing interest, she let her eyes slide shut, and she fell asleep, haunted by dreams caused by her own jealousy.]

"Silverstar... Is there something wrong?" he asked.

((Ooh, I see. You have the same power Galespirit has. Good job! ))
[I blinked, confused. It seemed Moonkit had experienced something. At first, I wondered if it was her memories returning, but somehow, it hadn't been...as I had been remembering what had happened on my fateful day, she was the one who had flinched.
Suddenly, I realized what had happened.]
"Oh," I murmured, my eyes widening. "Moonkit, I...I'm sorry. I didn't realize you could experience the memories of others."
[I cocked my head at her.]
"You remind me of Galespirit...he can feel people's emotions and experience their dreams...I'm sure he'd like to meet you."
[I shook myself, then approached Moonkit. I stood beside her, offering my tough body for the smaller kit to lean upon.]
Purring soothingly, I said, "Please be calm, Moonkit. I know that someone like you can turn a curse into a blessing."
[I licked her head, beginning to groom her gently. I understood the young kit's pain...no cat, especially a kit, should have to feel the harsh pain of others.
We were both cursed with a blessing. If anything, I could help her bear hers, for she had somehow learned of and now bore mine.]

[Silverstar turned and blinked warmly at Skyclaw and his family. She nodded gracefully to the apprentices.] "Oh no. I am just talking to Starpelt about Moonkit." [Silverstar glanced around.] "By the way, where is she?"

[Starpelt flicked her tail in greeting at Skyclaw and turned back to Silverstar.]"I saw her run into the nursery when we walked into camp.She seemed pretty upset.Silverstar,if it's ok with you,I'd like to talk with Moonkit alone before we discuss any further about her."[She said.] She had markings on her hind legs,but what could have had happened to her while we were away at the Gathering? I must speak with her alone before I become her mentor.[Starpelt thougth as she glimpsed at the entrance to the nursery.]

FireStorm fell asleep next to IceStorm. His dream led him to the barn where they lived before they came to the clan. His own memories had taken him to the place where IceStorm and FireStorm and everyone in their family had been happy. it was a short time though. His memories took him through the series of nightmares both of them had to live through. FireStorm awoke trembling. He licked IceStorm's ears softly so she wouldnt awaken. FireStorm lay awake in his nest.
