Prologue:
"It isn't safe for them here," a black she-cat says, her green eyes glowing in the darkness, as she curls her tail around three kits.
"It isn't safe for them down there either," a green-eyed tom with white and ginger patches says, brushing his tail on the she-cat's back.
"But it's safer!" the she-cat protests. "I didn't even know I could have kits in StarClan. Fallen Leaves, I'm scared."
"It's okay," the tom curls up next to his mate.
"But remember the prophecy? They'll be after them," the she-cat wails. "At least down there there's some chance they'll survive."
"But we won't be able to protect them," says the tom.
"At least we'll be able to see them," the she-cat sniffles.
"I'm not sure it's the best idea," the tom says doubtfully.
"It's our only hope," the she-cat seems to shrink as she says this. Her eyes darken. "And it's a chance I'm willing to take."
"Are you sure?" the tom asks uncertainly.
"Positive," the she-cat sounds more firm when she says this.
"Well," the tom says after a long pause. "What are their names?"
The she-cat looks puzzled. "Don't you know? I'm sure I told you," she lifts her tail, revealing her kits. "This one," she points to a golden-brown tom, "is Blaze. This one," she touches a dark gray tabby tom "is Feather. And this one," she says, stroking the smallest kit, a ginger she-kit with black patches, "is Leaf."
The tom purrs as his mate tells him the last name. "They all have green eyes," he realizes, "like their mother."
"And their father," she says, tickling the tom with her tail.
For a while, they both sit there, admiring their kits, until they see the blue-gray pelt of a shimmering she-cat. "I gave you time. Have you decided yet?" she asks.
"Yes. We've chosen to let them go," the tom says.
"Very well, I will lead them down," she turns to the kits near the black she-cat's belly. "Come now little ones. We're going on an adventure."
The black she-cat suddenly seems sad to let them go, then, getting back to her senses, nudges them towards the blue-gray she-cat.
"Where are we going?" Leaf, the smallest kit mewls.
"We're going down to another world, that you can explore," the blueish she-cat says, with pain in her voice, perhaps remembering when she gave up her own kits.
"Will there be food there?" Feather asks. "I'm hungry."
"Yes little ones," she turns back to the black she-cat. "They can eat solid food, right?"
She nods. "I have taught them how to hunt. They will survive."
"I hope so," the other she-cat says.
"Are we going yet?" asks Blaze.
"Yes," says the blue cat, guiding them away. The black she-cat and the ginger and white tom watch sadly as she leads their kits away.
"It's for their own good," the tom says, trying to convince himself, rather than his mate.
The she-cat gives a tiny nod, still staring at the empty spot where the other she-cat had led her kits away.
"We'll be okay," says the tom.
"Yeah," she says weakly. "Yeah. But they might not."
A tortoiseshell she-cat with a white watches silently in the shadows. She had been there as it all unfolded. "The three stopped us before. We cannot let them destroy us again."
A gray tom with a white face appears beside her. "I don't see why you couldn't let me handle this Mapleshade. I would've-" he is cut off by the she-cat's claws raking his face.
"Be quiet flea-brain! I am your leader, I know what's best," the she-cat snaps.
"But I would've killed the kits right there! The dark forest would be ruling already!" the tom protests.
"No. They need to suffer first. They must pay. The three must pay!" the she-cat shrieks, retreating into the forest with the tom on her tail.

A few things:
1) Sorry, this wasn't my best work, it was kinda rushed.
2)I know Hollyleaf probably couldn't have kits in StarClan, but that was just best for the story.
3)I also know it was kinda weird with not using the cats' names, but that's how it is in the prologue of Warriors books, so I thought I'd try it.
4) See if you can guess who the tom Mapleshade was talking to was.
5) The rest of this story will be written in past tense.
6) Please review! You don't even have to have an account.
