Prologue

Bluestar gazed at the other cats gathered around the Moonpool. She gestured with her tail to the pond, which had begun to ripple as if someone had thrown a pebble in it. But there was no pebble. A hazy image appeared, slowly becoming clearer. It showed four Twolegs.

The first one, a male, had reddish-blonde hair, amber eyes, and was more muscular than the average Twoleg. A necklace with the ThunderClan symbol dangled from his neck.

The second Twoleg was a thin female with long light brown hair. She had blue eyes. This Twoleg had a necklace with the WindClan symbol.

The third Twoleg had reddish-blonde hair also. He had the RiverClan symbol on his necklace.

The fourth had raven-black hair and green eyes. She had a ShadowClan necklace.

The image disappeared and Bluestar spoke.

"You all remember the four cats who had been captured by Twoleg 'scientists?' Well they were altered and turned into Twolegs. Soon they might forget who they are. Right now they are at the age where they would be going to a Twoleg thing called 'high school.' We must make sure they remember who they are and find a way to get them back to normal. Spottedleaf, you work on an antidote."

Spottedleaf looked at her leader, eyes wide with dismay.

"But Bluestar, I can only do that if I have access to the Twolegs' strange herbs."

"Then I will allow you to return as an apparition for a short amount of time," Bluestar meowed. The cats around the Moonpool let this news sink in, then they dispersed into whispering groups and disappeared into the distance. Bluestar thought deeply about how they would be able to contact the warriors in Twoleg form.
