Disclaimer: I do NOT own WARRIORS, no matter how many times I say I claimed Graystripe, Tallstar, and Scourge at school. Seriously.
Dedications: To Sapphirepaw, who was my second friend at Rising, and Inkkit's first. (Yes, Inkkit is my character.)
Author's Note: Don't ask why I always do the prologue in first person, then the rest in third person. I think it makes you connect with the character more. By the way, the cat in the prologue is male.

PROLOGUE…I felt as if someone had broken me, thrown me out into the rain, then left me there for the wind to inflict disease.
Flashes of silver and black danced before my eyes, taunting me with better sweet memories from my past.
Sympathetic orange eyes stared at me through this wet haze. Someone was speaking to me, telling me to come back.
They didn't understand. I couldn't come back. Not without her.
But she'd left me.
She'd left everyone.
My heart hurt, as did my head.
I could feel blood caked onto my paws from running after her.
I lifted my eyes up to the heavens. Water splashed me eyes. I ferociously blinked away rain and tears.
"Why?" I whispered hoarsely up to the near-starless night.
Why indeed? The wind seemed to answer.
I didn't know how long I would have to wait for her. I didn't know how long I could. All I knew was…
My Ghost had fled…

Author's Note: Please R&R. I would like to hear peoples' opinions on all my writings, actually. But especially Tarnished. Just 'cuz it's got a story behind it that I have actually thought out. I would also appreciate feedback on how I do the prologues in comparison to the rest of the fanfic. Does anyone like the switching from first to third? –blinks worriedly-
