I've decided to begin my first story ever! It's about redemption and second chances (but don't get me wrong, almost no one deserves a second chance in my opinion). Even if it's my first story, I do allow criticism. I don't think I'm perfect at writing, I might be, but probably not.

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors. I hate a lot of the cats, the plot of the fourth ark (the idea of powers and dead cats harming each other) is quite stupid in my opinion. K?

Prologue

I never considered myself to be a good cat.

I watched my mother be beaten to death in front of me, watched my crush be taken, and watched my father leave me alone. In this cruel, dark, lonely world.

I was a kittypet at birth, subdued to meals anytime I wanted, to the wonderful life I lived, to everything I ever wanted at my paws. When my home was taken by that greedy fire licking up my comfortable nest like water, I ran with my sister and my mother, going to where my father lived freely in the forest.

My sister and I watched our backs when he was around. He watched us like prey, staring with those hollow eyes. I looked back with fear. And when my father threw himself into this fit, when he took it out on my mother, Princess, I stared with fear.

And when he threw my sister, Hailey, at a tree for sass, I wailed. I knew he was unstable, how could I not? Why was I the only one to see? That's why I ran. To this clan, StormClan.

The way they welcomed me with open paws was creepy, how they smiled despite my rude and uncaring attitude. I was shocked, appalled. How dare they rescue me from death, only to force me into work? I wasn't a stupid piece of prey that they could play.

So, I rebelled. I never listened, I shouted, walked fearlessly over borders, did whatever I wanted whenever. The leader threatened to kick me out of the clan.

But all I ever wanted was love.

And I found that in my crush. He was perfect, untouched by ugly and horridness in every way. So, I suppose that's why I swore revenge when he laughed at me when I told him how I felt. I hated him. I hated myself.

Then, when I did the unthinkable, that's how I became dead to myself. That's how I was offered redemption.

I promised myself that I would take my path again, and redeem all of my wrongs.

Yeah, it's short. VERY short. But, I thought I'd give you an overview. Basically, she's telling you her life before…something happened. The first chapter will be before her apprentice ceremony, in normal POV. So, kinda confusing, but won't be later.

Tell me what you think so far!
