A/N: I, obviously, do not own "Warriors". Songpaw, Airclan, and any OCs are mine.
Chapter One
Whispers spread through the forest. Whispers of strange happenings, not very important, not dangerous or threatening, just intriguing. Prey remains found here, a strange scent with it. Herbs gone missing, clearly picked or pulled up, with no trace of the culprit but the same strange scent. And strangest of all, the shadowy shapes that were now often seen swooping through the skies. The clans passed them off as nothing more than strange new birds, never having managed to get close enough to really see them.

The dark shape began to plummet towards the ground, branches tugging at its fur, breaking under its weight. Feebly, it tried to escape the thrashing tangle, beating one of the dark wings on its back, the other hanging limp. It collided with the ground, and pain shot through the feathered limb. Blue eyes went wide with panic, her wing had never failed her before, this couldn't be happening!
She turned her head to the sky, but there was no sign of her companions.
"Help!" She cried, desperation creeping into her voice. "Where are you? Help! Hello? Help…"

Morning.
Shivering, the strange cat awoke. Frost blanketed the ground, giving the forest a peaceful look. Her limbs were stiff and sore, her injured wing remained limply trailing along the ground. She raised her head, trying to scent prey.
A sudden weight hit her in the back. She yowled in surprise and pain as it sunk in its claws, and knocked her broken wing. She lashed out with her good wing, catching the newcomer off guard, and knocking them lose. She sprung away, and whirled to face her attacker.
A young cat, a bit larger than her, was pulling himself upright. Three more cats were behind him, and another dashed forward.
"Lionblaze! Stop!" She cried.
Obviously surprised, the cat turned.
"Don't you think Firestar will want to question this cat? What are you attacking her for?"
"She invaded our territory! She was going to steal prey!"
"Hollyleaf! Lionblaze!" A ginger she cat padded forward, she lowered her voice, but the winged cat still heard. "We don't even know what she is. We'll take her to Firestar, and from there, it's up to him." Facing the newcomer, she motioned with her tail for her to follow.
"What's your name?" she asked.
"Er… Songpaw."
The black she-cat called Hollyleaf turned again to face Songpaw, surprise in her eyes. "You're from a Clan?!" She yelped.
Confused, Songpaw nodded. Could these strange cats also be Clan cats? That was odd… she thought all warriors had wings.
"Come on! Hurry up!" This was the tom who had attacked her, Lionblaze. "We need to get her to Firestar!"
Suddenly, Songpaw realized something. To these cats, she was mutated and she was now… a prisoner.
A/N: Sorry for it being so short. Did you like it? I hope it's not to rushed.
