Out of the Darkness Comes Amber Eyes and Scarlet Fur/Story

Prologue
The pale yellow light of the silver moon filtered through the woven ceiling of the nursery where Scarletkit slept peacefully next to her mother and curled close to her sister. The tiny kit had already seen nearly six moons but was still considerably smaller than her well-built littermate. The full moon had shed its light on her pelt, making it glow a beautiful hue. She was peaceful. Her dawn was coming soon and the clan would be waiting to welcome her with their voices. They'll soon see.

==Chapter One==

Scarletkit was dreaming. The tall grass whispered around her as the wind rushed through the delicate stalks. The ginger she-cat stood in the middle of a field. She was waiting. She couldn't explain it, but there was something she was waiting for. Something big and powerful. Her pretty, emerald eyes were bright and curious as she stared at the horizon cloaked in a soothing silver mist. For a single moment, she was sure that she could see two beautiful, jewel-like, blue eyes staring back at her. She could feel their mystical powers. She lifted her head to receive their glow. \ Suddenly, a great whooshing wind poured into the meadow. The mist was stripped away sending long ripples into the tall, pale gold grass. Scarletkit felt the wind rush through her ginger pelt sending a cool sensation through her body. It never felt better to be alive. Another wave of wind raced through the clearing, nearly carrying Scarletkit right off her paws and into the sky. Stumbling, she drove into the cool grass, plunging into a rushing river, her senses awaked and her heart roaring.

Stars were popping in her eyes as she rolled herself upward again. Her back to the ground, she could see the mist closing in on her. The haunting eyes were there again, watching her. She could hear a voice.

"You will return to the Field of Dreams when the time is right."

The quiet words didn't register in her mind. The world was spinning and the mist was pouring on her. Her vision was being stripped away. None of the sounds made sense anymore. She couldn't see the sky above. Her vision taken over by silver mist, she was sent into away into a spell and darkness overcame her.

Amberkit's POV

==Chapter Three==

 Scarletkit wasn't listening anymore. Though Canterflight's stories were never boring but she had other things on her mind. The dream she'd had last night still remained with her. There was nothing scary about it, she just couldn't get those haunting, blue eyes out her mind. Sometimes she wondered if the other kits had such vivid dreams as she did. She could remember Amberkit telling her about dreams where she was leader, but that was hardly out of the ordinary for her energetic sister.

 She had considered asking Brightsong about it, since she had special ties to StarClan but the more she thought about the act, the more she hesitated.

 ''What if I'm supposed to be something else. But that can't be. I'm going to be a warrior. I'll serve my clan to the best of my ability and gladly give every piece of my being for the cats I love. That's all I'm going to be. I know that's right for me. ''

 ''But when you step back and think about it, I've always admired Brightsong. She's so amazing in the things she does. I want to be someone who can help SolarClan like that... I want to make a difference. But I also want to be a warrior.''

 ''Tell me, StarClan. What path should I be walking?''

 She hear no reply.

 Does that mean I'm supposed to decide for myself?

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"> Still no warriors of StarClan came to her.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"> ''I guess that just means that I have to become the best I can be. Not for me. For my Clan. For my mother. For my sister. I'll walk the invisible path before me without fear.''

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"> Just as StarClan intended...

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica"> I will face my dawn.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">The new morning dawned sunny with cool dew on the grass blades. Scarletkit was the first one up. Wriggling out of her bedding, she slid outside into the center of camp. There wasn't much activity in the camp. Patrols hadn't left yet. From where she stood, she could hear Bravestar speaking with a large group of warriors from within his den. m

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">''Today I officially set my paws on the path to becoming a warrior of SolarClan. But I keep on asking myself, is this what I want to be doing with my life?''

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">A rustling from the Warriors' Den announced the emerging of Sweetberry. The long-furred, cream she-cat slipped into a small pool of sunlight and began to groom her long, silky fur. Scarletkit had always been quite fond of the young she-cat. She was always gentle and often would play with her, Amberkit, and the other kits to give the queens a break.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">"Good morning, Scarletkit," she meowed, looking up from her grooming. "Can't sleep, can you?"

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">"No," Scarletkit mewed, padded up to the young she-cat.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">"Understandable," Sweetberry purred. "I was the same."

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">"You were excited, weren't you?"

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">"Every cat I know was excited the night before they became an apprentice. It's only natural. The moment dawn breaks, it's the start of their new life."

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">"The moment dawn breaks, huh," she mewed.

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">"Yes. The light the dawn warms your fur with is the beginning of your future. It's your new path."

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">But what if I'm facing the wrong path?

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 12.0px Helvetica">''Quit that, Scarletkit! You're going to be a warrior. A warrior that the clan will be proud of!''
