PROLOGUE
(Lightpetal's POV)
Lightpetal looked down at her kit from where she was sunning herself on a rock. This was Sunkit's first time outside the nursery and the sandy kit seemed to be in awe. A butterfly landed on Sunkit's nose, the she-kit stared at it wide eyed, Lightpetal stifled a laugh. Suddenly Sunkit let out a tiny sneeze and the butterfly flew away. The young kit watched it go then returned to playing. Lightpetal stretched and stood up, she jumped nimbly off the rock and landed by Sunkit, "You stay here, i'll be right back," she meowed to Sunkit who nodded earnestly. Lightpetal started towards the fresh-kill pile but stopped in her tracks, on the ground before her was a dead butterfly. She bent down to sniff it just as Brightpelt the medicine cat walked over to her.
"Strange isn't it," she mewed.
Lightpetal nodded, "Just a moment ago it was on Sunkit's nose, but now it's dead."
"Well it's not that big of a deal, though it's quite pretty, blue like the color of the stream our clan is named after," the medicine cat pointed out, then with a curt nod she walked away. Lightpetal watched her go, then picked up a mouse from the fresh-kill pile. When she turned around to go eat by her kit the sight she saw shocked her, Sunkit was covered in blood and lay lifeless on the ground, the queen looked down at her own paws they were also covered in blood.
"Kin must kill kin to save the clan," an ominous voice sent chills down her spine. She blinked and Sunkit was no longer dead, the small kit was happily playing, just like before. Lightpetal glanced down at her paws, they were the same cream paws she had always had. She shrugged and went to eat by Sunkit.
None of the clan knew it but a dark cat was watching, waiting to attack. The cat spoke, voice soft and smooth, "We are coming…."
