This is inspired by the old “Write an Arc” thread!
Example:
Person 1: Warriorstar is having a nightmare. Her deputy, Deputyfang, nudges her awake.
Person 2: Deputyfang tells her that Medicinecatwhisker has gone missing.
I’ll start!
The story starts with Heatherstar, then Heatherkit, exploring the WindClan camp in wonder.

She had never been outside of the nursery before. There was so much to explore! So much to do! On clumsy little paws Heatherkit trotted further into camp, coming up on the medicine cat's den.

Just as she peeked her head inside, the raspy voice of Seedthorn, WindClan’s medicine cat, came to her. “He may be able to continue his warrior duties, but if he keeps going as he is, Mossflight’s body will give out on him.” Heatherkit stepped back, fur bristling. Mossflight was her brother from an older litter. What did the medicine cat mean by that? And who was Seedthorn talking to about her brother?

Heatherkit, now stretching out onto her tip toes, peeked further into the den, trying to get a better look at the other cat inside the den. It wasn't the most stealthy a cat could be, and almost instantly the grey she-kit was spotted by Seedthorn.
Ahem.The medicine cat cleared his throat with loud intention. "Young one, if you are not in need of any assistance, I'm sure you can find something better to do than eavesdrop."
Heatherkit's ears flattened in embarrassment. She meowed a hurried "Sorry!" before she scurried away from the den.
As she left though, she saw the grey and white tabby pelt of Fogstar. Was it true? Was her brother really in such bad shape?

Embarrassment continued to prickle Heatherkit’s pelt as she slowly made her way back to the nursery. She was stopped halfway by Fogstar, the she-cat leader looking quizzically at Heatherkit. “Does Addersplash know you’re outside the nursery?” Fogstar’s question wasn’t accusatory. Rather, her words were gentle, almost motherly. It wasn’t something Heatherkit expected from a Clan leader.
Heatherkit glanced away and shook her head, still embarrassed at being caught a second time in just a few minutes. “Daisykit and Fescuekit were still asleep when I woke up, so I thought I’d explore on my own…”

Heatherkit finally gathered the courage to glance back at the leader. Was she going to get into trouble for leaving the nursery without her mother's permission? But looking up at Fogstar, the tabby dawned a light smile.
"The nursery can be rather boring, can't it?" Fogstar's whiskers twitched in amusement.
"It's just no fun! I wanna explore the camp!" Heatherkit agreed eagerly, her embarrassment quickly forgotten.
The leader stood there in silent thought, giving a careful flick of her grey tabby tail. She spoke again soon after. "Perhaps it wouldn't be the end of the world if you had a look around. However, you have to promise you won't eavesdrop anymore, and stay out from under other cat's paws- And stay in camp."
The motherly energy that Fogstar expressed before was back- Like a cat fretting over her child who was going out into the world for the first time. Fogstar had always been so kind. Heatherkit could recall that the she-cat always brought Addersplash prey to eat and new moss to lay on. It always made her mama so happy!

Heatherkit gave a jump of excitement. “I can do that, Fogstar!” She promised.
The leader purred and leaned down to nudge Heatherkit. “I’m sure you can. Now go have fun.” Heatherkit watched with wide eyes as the leader turned and padded away, greeting some a group of moor-runners who had just returned from a hunt.
The she-kit trembled with excitement. Where would she explore first? She wondered if Mossflight was around. She could tell him about her conversation with Fogstar! Or maybe she could ask if he was alright, Seedthorn’s words coming back to her like a chill on the wind.

Heatherkit decided to wait a little while before checking on Mossflight, she didn't want to get scolded by Seedthorn again. Instead, she scampered around camp, excited at the prospect of being able to explore. In her excitement, she almost bumped into Doepaw, who was carrying some prey to the elders. 'Hi Heatherkit!' Doepaw meowed'What are you up to?' 'Fogstar said I could explore the camp!' the little kit mewed excitedly, proud to be telling the apprentice that her leader had trusted her to explore the camp on her own. 'That sounds fun' Doepaw replied, curling her tail up in amusement at Heatherkit's enthusiasm.

Heatherkit had always looked up to Doepaw. The light brown and white she-cat was some moons older - it would almost be time for her warrior assessment, Heatherkit was sure - but despite that Doepaw was friendly. The apprentice would check in on the queens every now and then to bring them food.
Which seemed like what Doepaw was doing now. “What are you up to? Can I help?” Heatherkit beamed hopefully up at the older cat.
“I was just about to feed the elders. Whiteberry has me cleaning dens today so I could use the company,” Doepaw told her with a smile before leaning down to grab the hare she had been carrying. With her tail she motioned for Heatherkit to follow.

Heatherkit bounced after Doepaw as they headed over to the elders den. Bramblenose, one of the elders, let out a mrrow of welcome as the two she-cats padded into the den. 'Hi Doepaw' she meowed with a friendly flick of her tail, catching sight of Heatherkit, she added 'I see you have a little helper there', with a fond look at Heatherkit. Yewbranch, another of the elders joked' No one told me Fogstar's made a new apprentice!'. Heatherkit swelled with pride, she was proud to be seen helping Doepaw, who was so much older than her. 'Yes, Heatherkit is helping me out for the day.'Doepaw replied, dropping the rabbit at the elder's paws. 'Thankyou',meowed Bramblenose'Rabbit's my favorite!' Yes, thankyou' Yewbranch meowed gratefully. Doepaw dipped her head in acknowledgement, and the two headed out of the elder's den.

As the two exited the elders’ den Heatherkit’s gaze drifted back toward the medicine den as if something was drawing her to it. She dared not return to the den, nervous that Seedthorn would catch her again. Or Fogstar since she had promised the gray and white leader that she wouldn’t disturb the den.
Before Heatherkit could stop herself she looked at Doepaw and asked, “Have you heard anything about Mossflight?” Doepaw was close to being a warrior and Heatherkit had seen the two on the same patrols before. Maybe the older she-cat could give Heatherkit some information.
