I do not own Warriors, their clans, or their cats.

Allegiances:

The four main clans have the same cats that they had at the end of A Last Hope

Early (chapter 1) PhoenixClan:

Leader: Moonstar- Silver grey she-cat

apprentice: Shadowpaw- black she-cat with vibrant blue eyes

?'s POV

It was dark. Rain beat down on her, and frost was slowly covering her pelt. She wasn't going to make it.

Moonstar's POV

Moonstar stalked in this foreign land. It was seemingly uninhibited, but cat yowls echoed across the lake. She stood on a hidden island in the lake, in the pouring, drenching rain. She had circled around its edge for days, and there was no sign of any cat life. She penetrated the invisible wall dividing her from the uncharted territory, and entered the forest. She heard a soft noise... It was like a kitten, faintly mewing. She raced through the forest and came into a clearing. In the center, a black mound sat. It was a young kitten, who had just opened its eyes. On the tips of its fur frost had formed. "Oh you poor thing," Moonstar said, "Where is your mother? I believe she deserves a strict talking to." The kitten mewed, and Moonstar knew what she must do. "Come here you poor thing, I'll keep you warm."

Shadowpaw's POV

Shadowpaw looked at Moonstar. "Going already?" she mewed. Moonstar looked back at her and nodded. The island was deserted, and their small camp was the only sign of life on it. Recently, there had been tremors on the island, and the blue-grey cat was starting to worry. She decided that she would travel to the mainland and search for a temporary home there. Shadowpaw didn't want to be left alone, but it had to be done. She sat on the shore, and said her goodbyes as Moonstar padded into the lake. When she padded back to camp, a tremor spread across the ground and encircled her. The fragile dirt gave way, and Shadowpaw fell down into a large underground cavern. She was trapped, and there was no one around to save her. "Help!" she mewed... But no one could hear her.
