Eye of the shadows
Prologue
A young dark tabby tom padded warily into the woods. The bell of his collar tinkling gently with each pawstep he took. The young toms' eyes raged as he tried to make a decision; continue into the unknown forest or return to the safety of his home. He swallowed hard as he made his decision and continued into the dark mysterious forest.
Suddenly the toms' ears pricked and he turned his head to look at a small holly bush, sun filtered through the gap in the trees and cast a menacing shadow of a cat crouching still as a stone behind the bush. The toms' eyes widened and filled with terror.
"wh-who's there?" He exclaimed.
Yellow eyes appeared from within the bush, some may have mistaken these eyes for two dying leaves as the colour was so similar but that couldn't have been possible as the eyes blinked and stared at the young tom for a brief moment before shifting to stare at something behind him. The tom quivered with fear for what the yellow eyes may be looking at. The tom whimpered and coward when he felt warm breath on his tail. The tom whirled around to find that no one was behind him, he let out a short sigh of relief and turned back to face the yellow eyes when he yowled load in horror as something landed heavily on his back. He lay still as his world turned black.

"What do you think happened to him?" Brackenfur asked as he helped to drag the limp body of a tabby off of Thunderclan territory.
"I have no idea; there were no claw marks or bite marks. And there was no scent of anything on his pelt that could've been his killer." Cinderheart replied.
"Maybe he was poisoned; he is a kittypet after all and kittypets are so stupid." Berrynose meowed snobbishly.
"Maybe.." Cinderheart mused, she wanted to say she agreed with Berrynose but she was sure there weren't any poisonous plants around where they found the toms body. It just didn't add up.
