Holy...! Are you joking? Well, I guess it's not IMPOSSIBLE, I mean, I saw a cat as big as a dog once so something like that shouldn't be too unimaginable. -.-;;
Lemonade and Tacos huh? Sounds like a good combo, but I'd rather have shrimp and lemonade. Mmm, shrimp. *Dribble*

CHAPTER 7
Everything was a dark mist swirling around Smokekit. The tabby tom looked around with his striking amber eyes. What is this place? The trees were blacked like scorched bark after a fire. The sky above him had no stars or a moon. Thorns covered every bush with a light that made them shine like blood-stained claws. The bark on trees were thick with fungus that glowed with an eerie green sickly light. This was no place for a cat to live. Smokekit started to trot around to try to find his way home. But the black forest stretched on. Smokekit felt a sharp pain in his left paw. It started to feel hot and swollen, so he lifted his paw. There was a thorn buried deep in his pad. Gripping it with his teeth, Smokekit yanked it out and spat it to the ground. Stupid thorn, he thought. Smokekit continued to look at his paw, seeing thick blood slowly ooze out of it. But suddenly it stopped. The blood dripped off, and the wound was gone. Smokekit gaped in amazement. How is that possible? he wondered. Shaking off the fear, he continued to walk along at a brisker pace. What are you so scared about? a voice in his head taunted him. Do you want to go home to your mother because you padded on a scary thorn? Never! another voice inside of him thought. I'm not scared of anything! Prove it, the other voice hissed. Prove it now. Battle the cat behind you. Shocked out of his trance, Smokekit spun around. Nothing was there. Sighing in relief, he turned around. "Going somewhere?" Smokekit immediately unsheathed his claws and spun around snarling, his other aggressive personality taking over. There stood a dark tabby tom with a scarred muzzle. A deep V-shaped wound cut deep into his ear. He was muscular, with the same striking eyes as Smokekit. "Who are you and where are we?" he hissed, demanding to know. "Shut up!" The tabby tom pinned the kit down and lunged to his throat. A hair away from his throat the cat bared his teeth, gleaming white and clean... for now. All of Smokekit's aggression vanished into terror. Was this cat going to kill him. If so how? Wounds heal in this place. "I have come to show you something," the cat growled. "You are in the Place of No Stars," he continued. The tabby tom got off Smokekit and added, "My name is Tigerstar." Smokekit tilted his head to one side. Place of No Stars? Tigerstar? He had never heard of this cat or this place before. Before his paws the dark muddy forest dissolved into a cliff overlooking a moor. Isn't this WindClan territory? "Yes it is," Tigerstar rumbled, sounding impressed. "H-How do you know what I thought?" Smokekit stammered. "Cats in the Place of No Stars have that sense," he answered. "Now keep quiet and watch." Smokekit turned his head to look at the path. There stood a muscular gray tom with amber eyes. His face was filled with anger and determination. That's me! Smokekit said to himself, happy with what a great warrior he would be. "Don't think too soon, Smokekit," Tigerstar mewed. Smokekit turned to him, knowing that he must have already known his name. "What do you mean?" "Watch." The tabby tom look excited, almost joyful. Smokekit turned back to the cat. He was now facing the bush. His paws were dark. Looking closer, Smokekit realized that it was blood. In the distance he heard a cry saying, "Why?! Why did you do this?!" It was a light female voice that sounded just like... "Brookkit!" he exclaimed. "Hush," Tigerstar snapped. "It was the only way," the future Smokekit hissed. His face had a long scar over his eye, obviously from a past battle. His eyes were dark. "He deserved to die!" "NO!" Both Brookit's voice and Smokekit cried. But suddenly the image melted with the distorted vision of a tortoiseshell she-cat crying into a lump of fur. Smokekit leaped to his paws. "You cannot escape you future," Tigerstar mewed, blocking Smokekit's path. "Instead you must face it, and prepare for it. I can help you, mentor you." "No!" Smokekit spat, aggression overcoming him once again. "I will not grow into that cat, I will not face this destiny and I will not be mentored by you!" Smokekit spun around and ran as fast as he could. Sheer fury made him race on and on. But all around him, the voice of Tigerstar echoed, "Face it, face it, face it..."
Smokekit gasped, horrified, and jumped up. The started to run, still thinking he was dreaming, and ran straight into the wall of the warrior's den. "Ouch!" he hissed, dropping to the ground. He looked around, and realized that he was awake and safe- and that he had just run into a wall like a complete idiot. Praying that no one saw, the kit opened his eyes again. But every cat was crowded around in a circle. They hadn't even noticed Smokekit wake up. Soon he spotted the silver shape of his sister, Shinekit. Oh good, she's better. "What's going on?" he asked, padding up to Shinekit. "Shh!" she hissed. "Look." Smokekit squinted his eyes to see Petalnose, writhing in pain. Around her Songbreeze and Moonpaw were talking to her. "Okay, Petalnose, your kits are coming," Songbreeze advised. "When I say 'now', push as hard as you can." The queen didn't respond, she was in too much pain. "get ready Moonpaw," Songbreeze warned. Moonpaw ran over to the other side of Petalnose and put her paws gently on her stomach. "Now!" Petalnose strained and pushed, and Moonpaw massaged her stomach with her paws. A tiny bundle of fur started to appear. Petalnose continued and soon a wet bundle was at Songbreeze's paws. "That's the only kit," Songbreeze mewed. "Well done, Petalnose." All she did was purr weakly, and started to lick the wet kit. Its fur was already fluffy, and it scrambled to her belly and latched on. Smokekit felt a surprising rush of warmth. This was the cycle of life. All around Smokekit cheers broke out as cats watching ran out of the warriors den started to spread the news. Smokekit payed no attention. he wanted to know everything about the kit he could figure out. It was a tom by the smell of it, and it had white fluffy fur. His chest had a brown spot, along with one brown paw. "What are you going to name him?" Smokekit asked Petalnose. She looked up, her light amber eyes warm. "I think I'll name him Auburnkit, for the auburn colored spot on his chest and on his paw." Smokekit nodded, and padded away, too awestruck to say anymore. Shock from what just happened and from his dream lingered in his mind. Will I really turn into that? he wondered, his awe fading into fear. The answer he did not know. Suddenly a yowl sounded from in the camp. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Root-tree for a clan meeting." Smokekit, suddenly curious, ran out into the camp. Debris from the storm still hung around the camp, but most had already been cleaned up. He spotted his littermates and quickly ran over to them. He sat down without a glance at them, and locked his attention on Rockstar. "SkyClan needs more warriors," Rockstar meowed, his black fur rippling. "Our clan is still small, and the threat from WindClan grows stronger. For these reasons, it is time for Brookkit, Smokekit, Rainkit, Wildkit, Shinekit, Bramblekit, Wavekit and Whisperkit to become apprentices." Every cat in the clearing turned to stare at them. His littermates were alight with excitement, and Smokekit shared in their eagerness. A shape emerged from the darkness of the warriors den. His gray tabby fur was sleek and groomed, and his eyes were surprised. Smokekit didn't like Whisperkit. He was too shy, too quiet for his liking. Just because his mother was dead didn't mean he had to be so quiet. Smokekit snorted. He had to be an apprentice with him? "Well, aren't you all coming?" Rockstar mewed, his eyes amused. Every kit jumped and ran under the root. "Brookkit, from this moment you will be known as Brookpaw. Lightningstrike will be your mentor." The two cats touched noses, both bristling with excitement. "Smokekit, from this moment you will be known as Smokepaw. Silverstripe will be your mentor." Him? Smokepaw thought. That cat was no more than a lazy rogue! But he couldn't refuse. Reluctantly he touched nose with his new mentor. Silverstripe sat down next to him. "Your doing fine," he purred. Better than you, I'll bet, Smokepaw almost blurted out. But he held his tongue. "Whisperkit, from this moment you will be known as Whisperpaw. Flamefoot will be your mentor." Immediately Whisperpaw's eyes lit up as he ran over to his father and touched noses with them. Both were purring loudly. "Wildkit from this-" "Wait a minute!" the voice of Sagepelt called out. "Both Wildkit and Rainkit snuck out of camp. They should be punished!" "They will not be," Rockstar meowed. "This is because I believe they have been punished enough by the fear. Also, if Rainkit hadn't warned us of the funnel, we may not even be here at all." Rainkit stood up taller, and the complaining died down into acceptance. "Wildkit, from this moment you will be known as Wildpaw. Mintfrost will be your mentor." Jumping, Wildpaw ran over to Mintfrost, who was equally excited, and touched noses with her. "Rainkit, from this moment you will be known as Rainpaw. Nightflash will be your mentor." The spotted apprentice touched noses with the black warrior. "Shinekit, from this moment you will be known as Shinepaw. Icepool will be your mentor." So they finally got her out, Smokepaw thought. Good. SkyClan needs their warriors. "Bramblekit, from this moment you will be known as Bramblepaw. Stormfur will be your mentor." A ripple of surprise went through the crowd, but no anger. They were all happy to have Stormfur as a warrior. Him and his sister touched noses. "Wavekit, from this moment you will be known as Wavepaw, and Brook will be your mentor." A gasp of surprise echoed through the clearing. But the former tribe cat ignored it, and touched noses with Wavepaw. "Finally, I want to ask Brook if she would take a warrior name," Rockstar mewed. Brook stood up and mewed, "I will." Her accent was much less strong then it used to be. Now it sounded like she was more clan cat then tribe cat. "Very well," Rockstar meowed as the she-cat jumped onto the branch next to him. "I Rockstar, leader of SkyClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on this cat. Though she is not from here, she has committed herself to the warrior code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Brook, do you promise to uphold the warrior code and protect and defend this clan, even at the cost of you life?" "I certainly do." "Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you a warrior's name. From this moment on you will be known as Brookheart. StarClan honors you commitment and loyalty, and we welcome you as a full warrior of SkyClan." "Brookheart! Brookheart!" Stormfur's chant rang over every cats' chant in the clearing. He ran up to her and they twined tails, purring and rubbing each other. Oh please, Smokepaw thought. He did not believe in love. In the end it will just break your heart, just like it did to Flamefoot. Smokepaw padded away, leaving his mentor, and all of his previous thoughts behind. All he could think of- he had no clue why- was pain. Was something to happen to him that would break his heart?
I know the ending's cheesy, but I needed to put that there. You'll find out why later.
