Prologue

The wind blew hard on the tree tops overhead, sending leaves spiraling to the ground. The night felt cold as Leaf-fall was only a moon away. A half-moon shown bright and proud in the sky next to the warrior ancestors from seasons apon seasons before. The stars in Silverpelt reflected off of the dew on the grass down below. A stream ran through the ground spliting a clearing into two parts. The clearing was surrounded by bramble bushes with two small entrances on either side of the stream. The leaves on the trees blocking the light from the moon making it hard to see at least a foxlength ahead. At one corner of the clearing the bushes rustled and a pale gray she-cat struggled out from under an entrance. The she-cat looked old with a light gray muzzle and frail body. She bore scars as if she fought every day for her next meal.

Up above, the moon was nearing moonhigh, and the gray she-cat clawed at the dewy grass impaitently with her claws. Even though she looked old and out of fighting experience her claws looked as sharp as any young cats. She hissed slightly as a harsh blow from the wind ran through her fur the wrong way. The gray she-cat began to wash herself as the bushes rustled on the other side of the stream. A young tortoishell padded out into the open her eyes fixed and narrowed at the old cat on the other side. She had her claws unsheathed as if the gray cat were going to pounce on her at any minute.

"I see you have come" The gray she-cat meowed, with a pleasing tone, "I didn't think you would" she said while sitting down with her tail curled around her front paws.

The tortoishell kept her steady gaze and didn't bother to sit down. She stood ready in case anything happened, "Leave, now. You don't belong here"

"Quite courage for such a young cat" The old she-cat sneered, "But i'd watch your tone, I have many cats under my comand, everyone you loved, all your friends, family, will be dead. Now is that what you want?"

Horror flashed through the young cats mind, as she imagined evey cat she ever knew gone, "No, not again" she murmured to herself. She shook her head and faced the old gray cat again and meowed louder, "What do you want, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, dear don't look so frightened, I won't allow my allies to destroy you or your family and friends, that is if you help me." The gray cat meowed with a gleam of mischevious in her eyes.

The tortoishell looked startled, "w-with what?" she stammered.

"I need you as a spy, its your choice dear, spy for us or watch your family die at your paws" The old cat meowed with a evil glare staring the tortoishell down.

The young she-cat sighed and looked up at the stars of the warrior ancestors. The wind blew hard again almost sending both cats off their paws. Silence fell upon the clearing that seemed to last for moons. The only noise was the leaves on the trees moving with the wind, and the stream lapping hungrily at their paws. The onld she-cat grew impaitent once again, so she stood up and dipped her head at the young she-cat.

"You have two days to decide, and if you don't show up at this exact spot, you will perish" She meowed before turning her back on the tortoishell and racing through the undergrowth.

For a few heartbeats the young she-cat stayed where she was with a horrified expression. No solution that went through her mind that she could get out of this. There was no way to avoid the choice, was there?Slowly moving towards the stream she looked down at herself. Ashamed at what she saw she swung a paw down at the water and it crashed down on the reflection of her face sending ripples through the water so she couldn't see it anymore. She then turned tail and fled the clearing. I can't let anything happen to him, Nothing!
