PROLOGUE

"I want that cat killed." A menacing snarl came from the corner of the den, which was lacking light to see his face. A small dirty-blonde cat listened to his leader, trying not to show his fear, "No, I need that cat killed! That traitor deserves to be dead! He'll spoil all of our secrets!"

"Ace," The small cat's voice echoed weakly around the two, "I-I'm sure he can't do that much harm to Crimsonclan, don't you think…?" Suddenly, his leader leapt from the shadows, almost a blur. The small cat yelped in alarm, then in pain, as Ace sunk his claws into his fur, pinning him to the cold floor.

"Do not question me, or my needs." Ace snarled. There was silence for a heartbeat, except for the whimpering of the cat under Ace's claws, "Got it, Coal?"

Coal didn't answer. Ace sunk his claws deeper into the smaller cat, causing him to let out a gasp of pain, "Y-yes! I got it, Ace!" He managed to choke out a few words.

Ace released him, letting Coal scramble to his paws, "Very good. Now, fetch me my best Assassin." Coal backed away, swallowing hard, and nodded. He turned tail and raced from the den. Half blinded from the burning light of day, he bluntly called around for Absurd, one of the most skilled assassins in Crimsonclan.

Absurd sat beside his friend, Hedge, whose role was a Spy in Crimsonclan. Not that it was any of Cole's business, but he noticed Absurd sneaking glances at the pretty she-cat.

"I'm over here." Absurd meowed, flicking his tail impatiently, "What is it?"

Coal quickly dipped his head to acknowledge the older cat, then looked up at him, "Absurd, Ace needs you in the den." He meowed, his voice quivering.

"Right now? Can't it wait?" He glanced over his shoulder at their leader's den where Ace emerged, his look serious and insane with greed. Then he looked back at Hedge, who nodded to him to go.

"Immediately." Coal whispered fiercely, ducking his head. For a heartbeat, Coal thought Absurd would refuse, but eventually he rose to his paws, lazily slumping his shoulders as he bounded over to their leader. Coal followed him close behind, passing other rogues as he walked.

"Ah, Absurd! My trusty groupmate." Ace smiled, tilting his head as Absurd approached, "I've got a new mission for you."

Absurd sat down, then yawned, "What do you need me to do?" he asked, looking like he was bored of the meeting already.

Ace frowned, but went on with what he was saying, "Absurd, I need you to kill a cat for me. He's a traitor and knows of our plan."

"Is the cat in a clan?" The white and orangish-red cat asked, his eyes flashing with interest.

"Shellclan, or something like that. West side of the Shining Meadow." He meowed, smiling. Coal slunk back as Ace flashed his sharp teeth.

"What's in it for me?" Absurd asked, making Coal gasp. No one has ever dared to question the leader with such disrespect!

Ace narrowed his eyes, but let out a shrill laugh, "Oh, Absurd, you never fail to amuse me." He snickered cruelly, then his face turned serious, "If you succeed in killing Lick, the stupid traitor we're targeting, I will allow you to be my Deputy of this group. If I die, you will be the next leader."

Absurd considered it for a heartbeat, then glanced at the original Deputy, who was eating some crowfood. Ace seemed to read his thoughts, "Ah, I'm sure Ghost wouldn't mind stepping down for you. And if he refuses, I'll make sure he's no problem." he smirked.

Absurd looked back at Ace and nodded, "I'll do it. I'll kill Lickpaw."

"Great! You'll leave tomorrow at dawn. The spy, Hedge, will go with you. I will give you four moons, no more, no less."

Absurd started to turn away, but Ace interrupted him, "Oh! And if you fail… Well," He scoffed insanely, "You're precious mate will die."
