TA: Hi! I'm TheArcherist (TA for short) and this is my first story/fanfic. So, um, yeah... Read on, peoples!

Prologue

Clouddrop's POV

I awoke to the sound of rain thudding against the roof of the den. I stood up and yawned, since it was almost dawn and there was no way I could get back to sleep. I looked around as I emerged from the den and sighed. The freshkill was soaked; it looked like I would be going hunting as soon as it stopped raining. I padded about the camp restlessly, waiting for the dawn patrol to return. Just then I bumped into something. Looking up, I saw a dark figure towering above me, and before you could even yowl 'mouse' the figure brought a large, firm paw down onto my back and ripped out a large clump of fur. I collapsed on the ground and let out a silent wail of pain as the shape retreated back into the shadows and disappeared. My vision blurred, and I thought I saw blood mixing with the rain in a puddle around me. Soon everything went black and my body shuddered in the cold, perhaps for the last time.
