TC- Brightsky's Betrayal

Brightsky of ThunderClan had just lost her mate in a terrible battle against rogues. For a long time, her kits recalled her moping around camp, refusing to eat or drink.

“We thought she was just waiting for her time to go to StarClan, and trying to hurry it up.” they said.

After a while though, Brightsky seemed to cheer up. Her kits were relieved, but her oldest litter, Creampetal and Sharpthorn suspected something was up.

That night, they stayed up. After almost the whole Clan was asleep, they noticed their mother’s white pelt slipping through the gorse tunnel towards the dirtplace. The littermates intended on following her, but Sharpthorn was needed for dawn patrol so he had to get to his nest.

Creampetal, one of the best trackers in the Clan, raced away into the night, following Brightsky’s scent, Finally, she picked up the strong scent of ShadowClan, and Brightsky!

Horrified, Creampetal watched her mother meeting with a ShadowClan tom! She recognized him as Owltalon, a strong warrior, but of ShadowClan!

Even though it was her mother, Creampetal knew she had to tell someone. The someone she decided on was Sunmist, the deputy. Sunmist was also Brightsky’s mother, so she would care a lot about this matter.

The next day, after conferring with her brother and Sunmist, they agreed to go tell Moonstar.

Brightsky’s punishment was that if she ever had kits with Owltalon, they would go straight to ShadowClan. There were kits after a while, but Owltalon did not live to see them. He died in a greencough epidemic in ShadowClan, and Jaggedstar agreed that that was a terrible punishment to him already.

The two kits, Snowkit and Cherrykit, as good as orphans, were sent to live in ShadowClan.
