Welcome to the full rewrite of the Demon Clans series! For new people welcome, for people that remember the original welcome back(and I'm sorry for you having to read such a messy work). So anyway, Warriors has been a huge part of my life and it still is(yes, I do still read the books). The Demons Clans was my first real try at a longer work. Reading back on the first story...it could use a lot of work, I will admit. My writing style was very, very unrefined back then. So I decided to do a full rewrite for the series and actually(hopefully) give it an ending this time!

Despite this being a rewrite, I will keep the old stories up. Mostly so I can see how I have grown as a writer. Although the basic plot may be the same, there will be a lot more character development all around so it's a revamped better version pretty much?

So yeah, enjoy!

Prologue

The cat raced through the thick pine trees. The full moon overhead cast its light, guiding the cat's path. It made it very easy for the cat to see where it was going but at the same time it made the cat easy picking for anycat out tonight.

Normally this would not have been a problem. However, with the recent rouge attacks, there had been an increase of midnight patrols. The cat knew why these rouge attacks had taken place. However there was no way the cat could speak of it. It was too risky, both for the cat and others.

The trees opened up to the huge gorge that cut through the territory. The cat skidded to a stop. Rocks clattered into the gorge and were swallowed up by the rushing water far below. The cat's heart hammered in its chest as it glanced back.

There were sounds in the trees. The scent of clan cats could be scented on the air. They were coming this way. They had probably picked up the cat's scent in its mad dash through the forest. What could the cat do? Doubling back was impossible. The cat was surely to be seen.

The cat turned its attention back to the gorge. The water was far below but it was not too far that it would be fatal. Hopefully. "This is my only chance. AuraClan, please watch over me." After sending a few more silent prayers, the cat jumped.

Far, far away from all of this, a young tabby lay sprawling on her side. She was exhausted but happy as she had just finished giving birth. The medicine cat was nearby, cleaning off one of the kits. The tabby did not want to be outdone in caring for her kits as she began cleaning another.

As her tongue rasped against the kit's back she felt something very odd. Looking down, she noticed a small pair of brown wings growing out of the kit's back, right in between the shoulders.

"Oh my…" She glanced over at the medicine cat and thankfully she was engrossed in caring for the other kit. Before the queen could change her mind, she placed her teeth over one of the wings and bit down hard. The kit yelped in pain but the queen had already bit off the other wing and swallowed them.

"I'm sorry little one, this was for the best. It'll be alright, there, there…." she soothed as she licked the kit's back. Thankfully the bleeding stopped before the medicine cat came over with the other kit in her jaw. After she dropped the kit at the crook of the queen's belly, she moved the other one as well.

"Have you chosen names for your kits?"

"Yes." The queen gently rested her tail on her wing-less kit. "I will name her Flightkit."

Chapter 1

"Come on Flightkit!"

"Coming!" Flightkit scrambled to her paws and raced out of the nursery, almost bumping into Darkkit, who had thought it would be a good idea to stand right next to the entrance. "Sorry Darkkit!"

Darkkit just laughed in response. "It's alright. I guess it makes sense why you are so hyper today."

"Hey now!" Flightkit lightly tapped his head with a paw. "We're going to be apprentices today, don't tell me you aren't excited too." She looked around the large camp. Bramble dens surrounded the huge tree stump used for clan meetings. She wondered if one day, she would get to stand on that stump as the leader of NightClan. Flightstar had a nice ring to it, she would say.

Darkkit looked around but no cat was nearby but he still leaned in closer. "How are your wings doing?" he whispered.

"Small enough to be covered by my fur," Flightkit replied in the same quiet voice Darkkit was using. "But they are going to need to be cut soon. Probably today would be best."

Darkkit let out a long sigh. "I do not understand why you would want them cut. All of the other Clans have a Special cat."

Flightkit's fur bristled. How many times would she need to tell him? "You know my mother told me to never tell anyone. She said the clan would not let me live a normal life otherwise! And you know I would want to respect her final wish…" Flightkit fell silent.

"I'm sorry," whispered Darkkit. He gave her a reassuring lick before he looked around the camp. It was still a bit early so there were not many cats up but soon the camp would be bustling with activity. "If you want to get them cut, we should do it now. After our apprentice ceremony, we might not have much time."

Flightkit nodded. "Yeah, that's a good idea."

The kits reentered the nursery. Sunpelt and Morningsun were still asleep. Flightkit's sister, Cinderkit was asleep next to Sunpelt. The two kits knew they did not have much time as they carefully tip-toed around the queens to the back of the nursery. There was a small hole in the bramble wall and without hesitation, Flightkit entered it. She bit back a small cry of pain as the brambles caught and yanked on her fur. Obviously, she was getting too big for this.

The hole led to the outside of the camp. After a quick check of scents in the air for a patrol she hurried over to the thorny bush near the bramble wall. She crawled through a small hole at the base that led to a hollow space in the center of the bush. The thorny branches surrounded her on all sides but she did not feel enclosed in the small space. This had been a safe place for her for a long time. She liked it in here, although she knew that in a couple of moons she would be too big for this place.

"We need to get another spot soon, we are getting way too big for this," grumbled Darkkit as he crawled into the space.

"I agree. Soon we will both have thorns in our fur no matter where we stand!"

"That would be an amusing sight, wouldn't it?" laughed Darkkit.

Flightkit sighed and turned her back to her friend. She picked up a rock from the ground and held it tightly between her teeth.

Without a word, Darkkit set his teeth over one of her wings and bit down. The rock grated against her teeth as pain shot through her shoulder. Darkkit did not give her time to recover before he had bit through her other wing.

She spit out the rock, her shoulders aching from the pain. No matter how many times they did this, it hurt like somecat was raking their claws against her shoulders. Not like she knew what that felt like.

Darkkit's tongue was rasping against her aching shoulders until the bleeding stopped. "Well, that takes care of that. We should probably head back now. The ceremony is probably going to start soon."

Flightkkit stretched her muscles as best as she could in the confined space. She knew she was going to be sore for the rest of the day and she hoped it would not slow her down during her first day of being an apprentice.

She followed Darkkit as they backtracked to the nursery. When she crawled through, she noticed that the queens were gone.

"There you two are!" Cinderkit said as she stuck her head into the nursery. She looked at both of them in confusion. "I thought I checked here before…" She shook her head. "Come on. Everyone is waiting to start the ceremony."

Flightkit and Darkkit exchanged wide-eyed looks. Had they almost missed their apprentice ceremony!? The kits raced out of the nursery to see the whole clan gathered already. The leader of NightClan, Lilystar watched the kits with amusement in her blue eyes.

"Well, looks like somecats decided to be apprentices today, instead of tomorrow."

"Sorry Lilystar," echoed both kits. They dipped their head in respect. Flightkit hoped that Lilystar was kidding about them becoming apprentices tomorrow, Even though she was in pain, she wanted to become an apprentice now!

"Alright, now it is time to become the ceremony!" yowled Lilystar.

As the kits approached the stump, Flightkit noticed Brambleplet and Coltpelt were waiting by the stump. On the other side of the stump was Mysticstorm, the medicine cat for the clan.

"I wonder which one will be my mentor," Flightkit whispered.

"Shhh. The ceremony is starting," hissed Cinderkit. Her amber eyes were shining in excitement though.

"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these kits. They would like to become warriors of NightClan but must first become apprentices. Flightkit, from this day forth, until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Flightpaw. Bramblepelt will mentor you. Darkkit, from this day forth until you earn your warrior name, you will be known as Darkpaw. Coltpelt will mentor you."

So Brambleplet was her mentor! Flightpaw and Darkpaw touched noses with their mentors as the clans shouted their new names. She was excited for this. She had heard what a great mentor Bramblepelt was. This was going to be great!"

Wait a minute. She glanced over at her sister. What would her? Why hadn't Lilystar given her a mentor?

"And finally," began Lilystar. "Cinderkit has decided to train as a medicine cat. So, from this day forth, until you earn your medicine cat name, you will be known as Cinderpaw. Mysticstorm shall be your mentor, of course."

A medicine cat? Flightkit felt a stab of hurt run through her. She did not know that! Why had Cinderpaw not tell her that she was going to be a medicine cat?

I have a bigger secret than she does though… Flightpaw shook her head. There was no point in blaming her sister now about it. She joined in the chanting of Cinderpaw's new name.

The ceremony now complete, cats begun to disperse to go about their daily lives. Bramblepelt approached Flightpaw. "Shall we start with a tour of the territory?"

Flightpaw's eyes widen. "Yes! I would love to!"

Chuckling, Bramblepelt turned to Coltpelt. "Shall we take our new apprentices out together?"

"That's a good idea," purred Coltpelt. "You alright with that Darkpaw?"

Darkpaw nodded. "Of course."

"Alright, then follow us!"

Flightpaw looked back and saw Cinderpaw following Mysticstorm into the medicine cat den. Perhaps Cinderpaw was going to go on a tour of NightClan territory later.

"Come on Flightpaw, let's go."

With Darkpaw at her side, the two apprentices followed their mentors out of the camp.
