Prologue- sensing a dark cloud
A white she-cat slowly walked up to Prettycloud's body. The scent of death mingled with that of lavender hit her nostrils. The faint meowing of her newborn kits came from the nursery.
"Greenmint wants to see you." A gentle voice of a tom whispered.
The she-cat jumped, whirling around, "Frozenclaw! You surprised me."
"Greenmint asked for you." He repeated.
"Why should I go?" she hissed.
Her brother rested his tail on her shoulder. "She may have hurt you in the past but she's still your mentor."
"I hate her! She let Prettycloud, your old apprentice, die! She beat me up! She hated me! I want nothing to do with her!"
"Does she know that?" Frozenclaw said calmly although his eyes blazed.
The she-cat flinched. She had always pretended to be kind and helpful towards Greenmint. "No." she choked out.
"We'll discuss Prettycloud's newborns later. Right now you must go to Greenmint. It may be the last time you ever see her." he spoke with the calm authority of a leader.
Without arguing further, she slipped into the leader's den, where she saw the outline of Greenmint, who was saying goodbye to Deepstar.
Opening her jaws she could detect the faint scent of her mentor under all the herbs. Wordlessly, Deepstar left, wanting Greenmint to say goodbye to her apprentice privately.
"Greenmint? I'm here." She whispered to her mentor.
"Come closer." The old cat rasped.
Greenmint was definitely dying. Her breath reeked of fear and her eyes had a distant look about them, though they still reflected the pride she always had.
"What is it?"
"There is a dark cloud among us now."
"A dark cloud? You mean one of Prettyclouds kits?"
"Exactly. I thought Prettycloud was the dark cloud but I still sense evil."
Evil? How is that possible?
"Watch them, Icicleheart. Watch them like a hawk watches a mouse." Greenmint gave a shudder and then was still.
Icicleheart picked up the body and dragged it over to Prettycloud's. Cats dipped their heads to her as she past them. Frozenclaw beckoned her.
"What did she say?" he asked her.
Icicleheart hesitated. "Nothing. Nothing at all."
I don't know if there's much difference to be honest, but it was fun to do it all the same.
