A/N: Once again, I'm back! With a new story of course. I do not own Warriors. There's a 99.9999999999% chance that I never will. So… moving on!
Prologue
Lightning crackled against the dark night sky, quickly followed by numerous claps of thunder. The uninhibited wind tore through the forest, sending the heavy rain pelting in any and every direction.
In a hidden hollow, a large tom paced along a line of drenched and shivering cats. He suddenly stopped his pacing and turned to a young she-cat staring ahead obediently.
"Rainpaw," he snapped, "Can you tell me why I have called you all out here?"
"The fresh kill pile is dangerously low sir," the silver she-cat replied almost immediately.
"Do you know why the pile is low?"
"Yes, Stormstar. The hunting patrol didn't catch as much prey as usual," she hesitated for a heartbeat, "And the younger warriors took more prey than they earned," she reported.
The fur along Stormstar's spine bristled dangerously, "Who. Tell me names, Darkpaw."
"Frostshard, Sunblaze, Owlfeather, and Gorsefang, sir," a dark gray and black tom answered, avoiding making eye contact with the offending warriors. Stormstar placed his tail on his shoulder.
"No need to fear, Darkpaw. I will deal with these cats accordingly."
"Lionclaw and Grayflame, I want you to escort these four to just over our territory past the Moonpool. I don't want to see them for two sunrises. Now, if you don't mind," Stormstar ordered. He turned and sauntered towards his den.
"You heard Stormstar, get moving you lazy pieces of crowfood," the deputy, a jet black tom named Nightfall snarled, jolting all of the soaking and drowsy Clan members out of their stupor.
Grayflame and Lionclaw herded the four miserable cats towards, not feeling brave enough to ask for any help. As they vanished from the camp, Stormstar stuck out his head from his den.
"I hope you all learn from this. Any and all mistakes will be accounted for and you will be punished for them," he snarled.
A/N: Woo! There we go; the prologue's done so all that leaves is… the rest of the story. Damn it…now I don't feel so happy. R&R while I go cry.
