Prologue
A gray tom came out into a weak, make-shift camp. His pelt was covered in mud and dried blood and his green eyes were dull. He carried a plump mouse. It's blood dripped into his mouth, making him what to eat it himself. But the tom stood tall and walked around camp. The dens were made out of tall grass and twigs. It was weakly made and could easily be ripped through. Inside was much better. Two cats, a whitish-blue tom and a black tom slept uncomfortably on dry tall grass and moss.
"Icestrike, Blacktooth, up." The tom mumbled thru his prey.
The two cats groggily woke up, blinking the sleep from their eyes.
"Wolftooth, we had midnight patrol then a quick dawn patrol then we spied, give us a good nap." The black tom whined.
"We nearly got our tails ripped off by a badger!" The blue tom said worryingly.
Wolftooth hissed, "It was a bramble bush, you lazy mouse! Now get up! Waspstripe, Foxbreeze, and Rosestep are hunting near the Thunderpath while Ratfoot and Robinstep are spying!"
"What should we do, your leadership?" The black tom growled.
"Icestrike, collect more water from Small Stream. Blacktooth, get more clean moss."
Icestrike was about to complain, but he thought better. The two pushed themselves out of the cramped den. Wolftooth sighed and continued. The camp was guarded by weak thorn bushes and brambles. The prey pile only held one small crow and the camp was dark and gloomy. It had a small yellow gorse tunnel in front front and another to the Dirtplace. The messy furred tom walked to the only good den.
It was made of stone and the inside was nice and cool, unlike the stuffy twig dens.
"Wolftooth! Wolftooth!"
Two small cats tumbled out of the den. One was a small black she-cat with lavender eyes. She held a tiny thrush and flicked her tail against the other cat's pelt. The other cat was a brown tom with sparkling green eyes. He had massive feet and was playfully growling at the she-cat.
"Hello, Owlpaw. Hello Brownpaw. What's wrong?" Wolftooth sighed, almost annoyed with the young cats.
"We caught a large rabbit and gave it to Mosseye and Thrushwing!" Brownpaw said with glee.
"Mosseye told us to put the thrush in the Fresh-kill pile!" Owlpaw mumbled.
Wolftooth nodded, hiding his surprise. He needed to see this rabbit for himself, for no one had seen a rabbit in a moon. He told the cats to go rest up ("Because you have midnight patrol.") and went inside. The den was cool and clean and had the freshest moss. A young silvery gray she-cat with light green eyes laid in the center, watching two young kits play. The other she-cat was light brown and white she-cat with a swollen belly. A half eaten rabbit sat between the two. Wolftooth chuckled in surprise. 'Those silly apprentices actually done it!'
The gray she-cat perked her ears. She turned and smiled at Wolftooth, "Thank you, but we don't need anymore prey, as you can see."
The tom nodded and dropped his prey. He glanced at the brown she-cat, who stood up and stretched.
"I'm going to Small Stream. My throat is parched. Shall I take the young ones with me?"
Wolftooth and the other she-cat nodded. The gray cat pushed her kits to the other cat, saying, "Go with Thrushwing, little ones." The kits mewled, but followed Thrushwing out.
"So, Wolftooth," Mosseye asked, "What is on your mind? You don't come to me much anymore."
Wolftooth's ears drooped, "I know… Sorry, sister."
Mosseye smiled and rose. She licked her brother's ears, "It's fine, I know you are still grieving."
"How can I not? Anyway, have you heard any rumors?"
Mosseye laughed, "How can I not? Icestrike and Blacktooth have the biggest mouths, not to mention Brownpaw following in their pawsteps. But yes, I have, but it's the same. The Strays will die out, The Four will destroy us, etc."
"Anything else? Maybe a-" Wolftooth was cut off quickly.
"No. StarClan has not sent me anything and why should they? The only gave me a dumb prophecy that never came true!" Mosseye hissed.
"A Wolf with the stunning eyes
Will see through the Four's lies…"
Wolftooth said the prophecy with sadness. With his green eyes and having 'wolf' in his name, he thought he was the cat in the prophecy. She tried to fight the Four Leaders with his mate. But failed.
"But I never told you the finishing part," Mosseye looked down sadly, "The Freckled will fall, and you will fail to save them from all."
Wolftooth's fur bristled, "Why didn't you tell me?!"
"I was protecting you!"
"She's dead, Mosseye! DEAD!"
Wolftooth stormed out of the den. Icestrike and Blacktooth, carrying both wet and dry moss, watched him curiously. Wolftooth hissed at him to drop off the moss and the two cats rushed off. The tom went through the tunnel. He walked across the yellow grass hill down to a long gray and yellow stripe Thunderpath. A massive red monster came rushing down the path, making Wolftooth almost jump. The tom laid down at the edge.
"Frecklefur… I'm sorry." He begged to the twinkling stars.
"I already forgive you long ago…"
A shining white she-cat with gray spots laid next to Wolftooth. She had blue eyes and stars in her pelt. They stood up and licked her paw and brushed it against her ear.
"Frecklefur! But-"
The she-cat covered his mouth with her tail, "Listen, Wolftooth. I need to warn you. I wish I could stay longer, but I can't."
She dropped her tail and spoke:
The Shadow with destroy the Path
The Thunder will show his Wrath
The Wind hate will grow near
And the River will show true fear
The Pool of Feathers will chases away the enemy
And bring bring a new time of harmony
Wolftooth tried to stop his mate, but she nuzzled him, "Take care, guide the Pool, save the Strays."
In a ray of moonlight, Frecklefur disappeared, leaving Wolftooth to mumbled.
"Poolfeather, that cloudfuff warrior. Hedgehogs will fly!" Wolftooth glanced up at the sky, "I hope your right, or we'll all die."
