Prologue
Cats were fighting viciously in the moonlit clearing. Streampelt looked over at her mate, Swiftwind, who was clawing away at the WindClan deputy, Talonclaw. Streampelt, seeing her mate was losing the battle, bounded over to help him. When she was a foxlength away, a screeching cat leapt onto her back, pulling her down. As she looked up, she saw Swiftwind dodge a blow from Talonclaw, only to lose his balance and fall into a heap on the ground. Streampelt wailed in agony as she saw Talonclaw prepare for a death blow, and everything went black…
Streampelt gasped as she woke up, panting in fear. This dream had been haunting her nights for a moon now. "Why must I be tortured with having to relive that moment; why StarClan?" Streampelt thought sadly. Having to deal with Swiftwind's death was enough… now she had to relive the moment where she had failed to save him each night.
As she looked around, she saw it was sunhigh, and all the cats had left the den. She sighed as she padded out of the den and into the warm sunlight. She picked out a vole from the freshkill pile and went to eat beside her best friend, Lightfur.
"Hey Streampelt! Slept in I see?" Purred Lightfur.
"Yeah… I had the dream again. It seemed more realistic this time though… like when it had really happened." Mewed Streampelt quietly.
"That's horrible!" Replied Lightfur," But there are worse things happening at the moment then your nightmares." Lightfur flicked her tail in the direction of High Rock.
Streampelt gazed over at the place Lightfur was indicating. Shinestar and Deadclaw, his deputy, were talking in hushed whispers, with Deadclaw occasionally glancing over towards the WindClan border. Suddenly, Shinestar whipped around and, bunching his muscles, leaped upon High Rock.
"May all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath High Rock for a Clan meeting!" The familiar call was sounded as all the cats came out of all of the dens. Lightfur and Streampelt padded over, sitting next to Strongblow, Lightfur's mate.
Shinestar, ambition gleaming in his cold yellow eyes, spoke clearly out over the crowd. "WindClan, as you all know, is weak from the recent leafbare. It is time that ThunderClan gained some new hunting grounds!" All the cats glanced at one another and started to whisper in uneasy voices.
"Silence! We shall leave now and begin our assault! The cats that shall be coming are myself, Deadclaw, Brownstripe, Snarelegs, Morningpoppy, Coldeyes, Softpelt, Strongblow, Lightfur, Streampelt, Badgerpaw, Airpaw, Tanpaw and Willowpaw. Make any last minute preparations, as we are leaving soon." Snarled Shinestar as he whipped around and headed towards Deadclaw.
Streampelt sighed. "I can't take anymore deaths. I can't kill anymore. Not now. Not after Swiftwind's death."
Lightfur nudged her flank. "I'll be with you Streampelt. You can do this." Mewed Lightfur. "Look, we're leaving now. Come on, Streampelt."
Streampelt lowered her head and padded after Lightfur out of camp. As they padded out of camp, neither of them knew that they would never see it again…
