A Cat's Tail: Prologue
A girl slept miserably on her couch. She twisted and turned, trying to find the perfect spot on the uncomfortable piece of furniture. She left the window cracked slightly. A small, lithe shadow appeared in the window's glass. 'She will have to do...' the cat thought, amused as she jumped in through the window. With the small pack she brought with her, she gave the girl a small drop of liquid that was strangely colored. With that, the cat left out the window, barely turning around to see the flash. 'I shall see you soon, young one...'
The girl was dreaming that she was in a forest, surrounded by cats of different kinds. Surprised she turned around, only to find out she was trapped by the eyes of the felines'. 'What is going on!' she thought desperately while she was looking at the colorful eyes and pelts. Their fur shimmered as though they had the stars in their pelt. Suddenly, a black she-cat with blue eyes walked out from the shadows. "Greetings, Two-Leg, to the Moonpool. I am Bluestar, the old leader of ThunderClan. I welcome you to the ranks of StarClan. You have been told of in the prophecy Spottedleaf warned us of. By now, you are probably wondering why. Spottedleaf, you tell her the prophecy!" With that, Bluestar backed away. A tabby had walked up, her eyes glistening in the moonlight.
"Cloud flees as dawn breaks, while shadows cover holly and wind sweeps away lion..." The she-cat said, looking fondly at something behind her. Suddenly, she said "Spying again, Jayfeather?" she purred in amusement as a gray cat walked towards Spottedleaf.
The gray cat snorted, mad at being caught. "You always seem to know when I am among StarClan..." The tabby laughed, and the gray cat walked toward the girl. "Who are you, and what do they mean that you are involved in the prophecy?" he asked right up to her face. That's when she noticed something. "You are not a part of StarClan?" She asked innocently. "Of course not! Why would I like or want to be dead!" he spat, glaring full force at the girl. "Now tell me who are you!" She hesitated before answering Jayfeather's question. "I'm... Dawn."
