-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She was standing under the trees as the unfamiliar scent of prey clung to the breeze. She followed the trail to a giant tree. Among the roots was a fat shrew nibbling on a seed.

The little she-cat crouched and slowly made her way toward the creature. She gathered all of her power into her hind legs and pounced. Just as she was about to make an impact, she felt something smack her in the face and send her hurtling backwards.

...................................................................................................................

Shadow hissed angrily at the twoleg for hitting her with a broom. The twoleg put the broom away and started yowling to itself. Shadow started grumbling to herself while feeling Snow's humored eyes on her. "Snow!" Shadow spun around to face him. Although she could not see him she could easily tell his face was humored. "Did you see what that twoleg did to me?!"

"What did you say?!" Snow shouted. "I said DID YOU SEE WHAT THAT TWOLEG DID TO ME?!" Snow was Shadow's partially deaf father, and though she shared his white pelt, he decided to call her Shadow to refer to her being blind.

"I would swat to if you tried to pounce on my paws!" Snow replied. Shadow sighed and made her way over to her father. She slumped down in front of him and began to complain, "I was daydreaming about being in a forest," she began, "I was under this HUGE tree stalking a shrew, I pounced and boom smacked in the snout!" Shadow scowled. Snow chuckled lightly "I remember the days when I was a kit of ThunderClan." He mewed softly, "those are the days I wish I could get back."

"Father what is ThunderClan?" Shadow mewled. Snow stared blankly at her for a moment, sighed, and then began,"On the land this twoleg nest is built on, there was once a forest divided up into four territories. There was one Clan in each territory, WindClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, ThunderClan, and StarClan." "But wait!" Shadow interrupted "I thought you said there were only four Clans." Snow seemed as if he was trying to process what she had said, and than flicked her with his tail signaling for her to repeat herself. "I thought you said four Clans!" Shadow meowed louder.

"StarClan is different from the other Clans." Snow explained "StarClan is a Clan made up our warrior ancestors, even the youngest kit knows of StarClan." "I didn't" Shadow grumbled "And what are warriors?"

Snow glanced around sadly "At the time I was separated from ThunderClan I was just a kit, My mother Speckletail called me Snowkit, I was only a few moons away from becoming a warrior apprentice. Apprentices are trained by warriors to hunt, and protect our territories from the other Clans. Onces an apprentice learns all of this they earn their warrior name. If they are lucky and skilled enough, a warrior can be chosen to lead their Clan, at the will of StarClan of course." Snow finished.

"How were you separated from your Clan?" Shadow asked. Her father had a sudden cold aura around him, perhaps she had said too much. "I was carried away by that flea ridden hawk." He hissed. "After that I never saw them again."

"Father, I want to be a warrior!" Shadow mewed confidently. Snow stared at her for a long moment and she could tell he was having his doubts about her because of her being blind. He remained thoughtful for another moment then replied "Even if you could become a warrior who would mentor you?" "Ravenpaw." Shadow answered, remembering her father's story of three apprentices driving a malicious cat named Brokentail out of a forest. Shadow had learned that Snow's "Nursery Tales" were all true. Her father said that one of the apprentices, Ravenpaw, went off to live in the nearby farm with a cat named Barley after Brokentail had died saying that Clan life wasn't for him.

"I forbid you to leave this nest!" Snow shouted at her. Shadow was taken aback by her father's sudden outburst. "I've already lost my Clan and your mother, I don't need to lose you to!" Shadow faced the floor sadly. Three moons ago she was lying by her mother's side sleeping when her mother got up went out through the window. Hours later Shadow woke up and followed her mother's scent to the garden. The scent of blood was strong and she began to panic. She ran around the yard only to trip on a large object. She slowly went up to the object to find her mother White, a beautiful snowy-furred loner, had been killed.

"I miss her to you know!" Shadow yowled angrily "If she was still here she would teach me how to be a wild cat!" "It was wild cats that killed her in the first place!" Snow spat. Shadow stood there shocked, she never knew what caused her mothers death, could it really be that wild cats were vicious killers? No, it couldn't be, her mother was wild, and she wasn't a killer.

"Mother wasn't a killer" Shadow meowed calmly. Snow stared at her for a moment that seemed to last an eternity then sighed in defeat, he knew he had lost the argument. "You are not leaving and that is final." Snow meowed. Shadow's temper had finally reached it's peak. "I WISH MOTHER WAS HERE INSTEAD OF YOU!" She yowled loudly, as she launched herself at her father with claws outstretched. Shadow easily knocked her father over and stood over him. Snow stared up at his daughter in horror, and just as she was about to deal the final blow, the twoleg entered the room yowling and hauled Shadow up by her scruff. Shadow screeched in protest as the twoleg threw her into her crate and locked it.

Shadow began violently attacking the walls of her prison, and after about an hour of useless struggling, she gave up and lowered her head in defeat. Shadow could hardly believe she had been about to kill her own father, and strangely she felt a combination of guilt and pride surging through her. Yes, she was proud of herself for being able to defeat an older cat so easily not to mention her disadvantage. "Perhaps I really am just like those cats that killed mother." Shadow meowed sadly. Slowly she made her way to the back of her crate and fell asleep.

"Whitekit." "Whitekit wake up please." A strange voice said while prodding Shadow with a paw. "Today you're going to become an apprentice, don't let your mentor would want a more enthusiastic apprentice?" Shadow's eyes flew open and she was taken aback by what she saw, well not what she saw more that she could see. She tried to find the source of the voice and came face to face to face with a short dark brown tabby tom. Shadow was shaking with fear of this unfamiliar cat. "Whitekit what's wrong? it's me Lowbranch." The tom meowed. "L-Lowbranch?" Shadow mewled thinking this tom was confusing her with some other cat. "That's right let's go" Lowbranch meowed enthusiastically.

Shadow followed Lowbranch into a clearing when a sudden call startled her. "let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the tall stump." A muscular gray tom with stunning icy blue eyes called from a rather large tree stump. From all around cats of different colors and sizes began to gather around the stump. "Cats of LostClan!" the gray cat yowled "Moments ago the dawn patrol returned with grave news, along the ThunderClan border, the patrol was attacked by a patrol of ThunderClan warriors." Shadows ears pricked at the mention of ThunderClan. "They tried to escape, but sadly… Spottedsky was attacked and killed before she could flee." The tom meowed as the bloodstained body of a Black she-cat with white flecks was brought into the clearing. Astonished gasps were heard throughout the clearing.

"Loststar, isn't time we started fighting back! We could take all of the other clans if we actually fought instead of always running away!" a gray tom hissed angrily from the group of cats gathered below. "Graystorm, I am truly sorry your mate was lost but we are not a clan of fighting we are clan of peace." The tom apparently the leader (Author's Note: wow Shadow is really slow -_-') called Loststar meowed. "She was my mother! Do you really expect me to to nothing!" a tom that looked almost identical to the dead Spottedsky except with gray fur instead of black yowled loudly. "Cloudspots, revenge is never the answer." Loststar meowed calmly. "Perhaps it's time we leave the forest" a soft voice mewled. All heads turned to a beautiful black she-cat with a single white stripe starting at her head, going along her back and ended at the tip of her bushy tail. "that's not something I'd expect to hear from you Skunkstripe" the leader meowed a bit harshly. "I apologize for getting upset but we will not back down from the other clans we just have to work on our defenses and strengthen our stealth skills. Tonight we will sit vigil for Spottedsky, oh and before I forget Whitekit meet me in my den please, that is all." Loststar finished and began to make his way into an opening in the tall stump.

"I guess Loststar wants to speak with you before your ceremony." Lowbranch meowed as the other cats began to dispatch. Shadow nodded slightly. "guess so." She replied. She was actually a bit intimidated by the powerful leader, and was nervous to meet with him especially because she was not the cat these cats thought she was. "well see you later I'm gonna fetch me some fresh kill." Lowbranch meowed and disappeared behind a rock wall.

Shadow mustered all her courage and confidently made her way into the opening of the leader's den. The hollow stump was a lot roomier than she had thought, in fact there was enough space for another seven or eight more cats to fit in and still have a comfortable amount of space. "Greetings Loststar." Shadow mewed. "As well to you Whitekit or shall I say Shadow." the tom replied emotionlessly. Shadow stared at the cat in front of her shocked, "Y-you know w-who I am!?" Shadow meowed frightened. If this cat knew who she was he could either explain things to her or even train her, or maybe attack her for impersonating a clanmate. The tom had risen from his nest and was slowly making his way towards her. "Wha-What are you gonna do to me" Shadow whimperd frozen out of fear.
