"Listen close kits, for this story is important. This story is something that all cats need to learn at a young age." said Dusknose. In front of her sat five young kits, all listening closely.

All of them were listening closely, except Honeykit, that is. Honeykit was annoyed, as he had been forced to listen to crazy old Dusknose's stories.

"When the sky is dark, and the moon is behind the trees, a creature lurks. Its body is made of shadows, and its eyes look like small moons." Dusknose continued, and the kits looked at her intently.

Honeykit rolled his eyes and turned his head to a butterfly that was fluttering around the camp. "Pay attention!" One of the other kits, Poppykit, quietly hissed.

"The creature creeps through dens for any who may be awake and takes them away. There is no trace of the cat, and-" Dusknsoe was interrupted by Honeykit.

"How do you know what it looks like then? Does it lecture you about going to sleep?" he said. Some of the other kits giggled, but Dusknose was not amused.

"Well, if you must know, the only reason we know how it looks is because the medicine cats had to contact Starclan themselves to find out. Not even Starclan can stop the creature." Dusknose said, her eyes narrowed.

Honeykit huffed. There was no way he was gonna believe a crazy old cat like her! Dusknose began to speak again, but Honeykit wasn't listening.

He had zoned out and blocked out Dusknose. You know what? I'll stay up just to prove that crazy old she-cat wrong!

{♤ ♡ ◇ ♧ Time Skip ♧ ◇ ♡ ♤}

As the sun set, all the cats headed to bed, curling up in their dens. Honeykit pretended to sleep and laid close to his mother.

There were a few times he almost fell asleep, but he was able to jolt himself awake. The moon had dipped behind the trees, and it was very dark out.

Every rustle of the wind frightened him, but he tried to keep his composure. He sat there for a little while, before laughing to himself.

"I knew that Dusknose was wrong! This is why you can't trust crazy old enders and their stories." Honeykit said, although his voice was shaky.

"I'll tell everyone in the morning, and-" he was cut off by a snap of a twig. He suddenly froze, and he felt chills down his spine. He looked towards the nursery entrance, and everything was quiet.

He heard pawsteps coming closer and closer to the nursery, and he shrunk down and tried to bury himself in his mother's fur. When he looked up again, a cat stood there. It was made of shadows, and its eyes looked like two bright moons.

Honeykit's ears pinned back, and he shook in terror. The creature took a step forward, tilting its head. Hundreds of hushed voices came from the cat as if it held the souls of its past victims.

Suddenly, the moons in its eyes vanished, and so did Honeykit.

{♤ ♡ ◇ ♧ Time Skip ♧ ◇ ♡ ♤}

Honeykit's mother, Rosewing, awoke in the morning, expecting to see her two kits at her side. There was only one.

She laid her head back down, soft sobs coming from her. It had taken another cat, and there was nothing she could do as she sobbed into her remaining kit's fur.

The Blackmoon was merciless, although she wished that it would take mercy on such a

small,
young
soul.
