Prologue

In the undergrowth of the forest, a black cat crept through the snow, his white head hung down low. He had caught wind of a mouse nearby, and he was not going to let it escape in the midst of leafbare. Soon enough, he would find the mouse, and he will catch it. His paw steps were light in the snow, barely making a sound.

Finally, it came into view. A plump mouse was scavenging any berry it could find, scurrying across the snow. Its own distraction would soon be its downfall, the tom thought. Slowly, he crept up to the mouse, and waited for a chance to strike. As it gnawed on a fallen berry, the cat pounced on the mouse from his hiding place, and sank his teeth into the mouse's neck. Now, it had fallen limp.

The black tom lifted his head, the mouse dangling from his mouth, only held by its tail. He sniffed the air to see if he could find another piece of prey for him to catch.

A familiar scent hit his mouth. It was another cat from his Clan, ThunderClan. He could tell just by their scent. He looked around to see who it was. He could not find a single soul in sight.

Huh? Did someone need me? he wondered, his gaze still searching the land.

After one last look, he shook his head. It's probably just my imagination.

Suddenly, without warning, he was tackled, and thrown to the ground. Dropping his mouse out of surprise, he felt teeth dig into his neck, and claws digging into his shoulders, holding the tom down. In the corner of her vision, a scarlet liquid bled out onto the snow, staining it red.

As he let out a screech of pain, blood gushed out of his throat, and it became progressively harder and harder to breathe. He felt like he was drowning, his vision blurred red.

As his screams faded, everything went dark.


A/N: So, here's a new story coming from me - Faded Stars. I'm hoping for it to have about 15 or so chapters, and I'll try to update it as much as possible. Of course, I can't guarantee this, due my procrastinating nature. Why did I only put ThunderClan in the allegiances? Because that's probably the only Clan you'll see in this story, along with the two rogues in the allegiances. I do have a list of the other Clans, so I'll use them if needed. "What about Broken Path?". It'll probably be on hiatus for a little while, unfortunately, after I post the next chapter of that within the next month or so, or at the very least update less frequently as it used to. The first chapter should be out within the next few days. With that, Branchwing, out~!
