Amberstar’s promise/Chapter 2

Yeah! You’ll never forget WindClan, will you? — Harepaw to Amberkit in Amberstar’s promise

The chapter starts with Amberkit in the nursery. After several complaints from Amberkit's siblings addressing they don't like to play with her because she is so small, Amberkit asks if they want to help the medicine cats but they refused, bitting Amberkit’s ear off. Amberkit then leaves RiverClan while everyone is asleep just as it begins to rain. She then remembers that she wants to be the next RiverClan leader. She also remembers the orange-and-white she-cat and is determined to get to the Moonstone to speak with her and learn her destiny. As she emerges on the river bank, a flood sweeps away the kit. She then sees the StarClan cat and she says that she has the great destiny ahead of her. Amberkit makes it out, barely alive. On the way she meets a elder moose name Bark. She told bark that she was going to the Moonstone, Bark then wishes her good luck. Amberkit heads along the river on a steep path through WindClan territory. She reaches the waterfall and climbs up it, even as the path narrows significantly and water droplets spray her. On the way a WindClan apprentice named Breezepaw jerks back as Amberkit accidentally stepped on his tail and almost started to kill her. However Harepaw’s little brother, Stormkit stopped Foxpaw when he was about to kill Amberkit. He says that she had learned her lesson. Harepaw simply says that Foxpaw was defending their territory. The patrol heads back into the forest. She finally makes it to the stop, where she sees that the river gets flat again. She is able to see the jagged cliffs of Highstones in the distance. She heads on, and climbs up a pile of boulders in order to try to get view of Highstones. At the top of it, she can see Highstones. Amberkit looks back and sees a pair of eyes in the heather, and fearfully sprints away. She hears pawsteps behind him, gaining on her, but then she passes across the ThunderClan border and onto a stone path. She looks back and sees a rabbit is chasing her. She hears a growl behind her and looks back to sees bright eyes, realizing a monster was racing at her. She remembers monsters only traveled on Thunderpaths, so she backs off of it and watches, terrified, as the monsters streaks by and disappears. Thankful that the monster hadn't spotted her, she looks towards the Thunderpath, where the rabbit was lying, dead.
