Prologue

My hands trembled as they became black, furry paws. My whole body transformed into a pure black she-cat with icy blue eyes.

"Are you ready?" Bluestar asked me.

I nodded, my mind whirling in excitement.

I yowled with pain as I felt something electrocute me. Ripple after ripple of the water I was sinking in, I finally landed on my belly onto the forest floor.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Snarled a white tabby tom with jet-black paws.

"My name is Burr." I mewled. Wait mewled? I was a kit! About four moons old!

The tabby tom stared at me in wonder.

"My name is Blackstar." He mewed.

"Welcome to ShadowClan."
