A single cat raced through the forest. She was a beautiful light golden tabby, with a white tipped tail and blue eyes. As she padded forwards, Whispersong felt a deep shudder race through her body. Her mother smiled at her gently, but suddenly released a yowl of pure terror.
A dark shape emerged from the shadows. Only one thing came into actually clear focus. A slashing paw came slamming down on Whispersong's mother, who let out a loud yowl. The cold crystal claws glittered cruelly with the blood of the fallen cat.
Whispersong screeched out for her mother, but turned away when the shape came after her, as well. All of a sudden, she flew over the edge of a cliff. As the poor young she-cat pummeled down into nothingness, she thought she could hear a faint, dark, ghostly chuckle...
Back in her mossy nest, Whispersong awoke with a start. Her heart was hammering against the tight walls of her chest, and her breathing refused to slow. She had been having these dreams for a while now. Always, there would be something like a shadow that killed her mother, and then she would die, as well.
Whispersong had never really known her mother. Bluewing had died about 4 days after Whispersong, Fallenoak, and Shadowdeath had been born. No one seemed to know what had happened to her. Of course, there were many rumors, but all of them were far off the mark. Whispersong's father, Sunclaw, had found the body. He had raced off to get more cats to carry her back to the ThunderClan camp, but when they had returned, the body was gone, with not even a scent left.
Whispersong could vaguely remember a deep voiced cat telling her what had happened to her mother, but she could not remember the words. She and her brothers thought that it had been Sunclaw, but they never got the chance to ask him. About two moons after Bluewing's death, Sunclaw disappeared as well, under similar circumstances. But this time, they were all sure that he was alive and well, but in hiding.
Now, as the young parentless she-cat padded out of her dew into the fresh morning sun, she tried to shake away those thoughts. It was morning, and the start of a bright new day. Today, vowed Whispersong, I will not let any death thoughts cloud my head.
"Whispersong! Stop standing there as if you have cobwebs in your fur. Firestar has told me that you are to come on a border patrol with Brackenfur, Sandstorm, Brightheart, and Fallenoak. Sandstorm will lead. Now, be off with you!" The speaker was Brambleclaw, deputy off the clan, and mate to Squirrelflight.
Barley biting back a sigh, Whispersong went and joined the patrol. She HAD been on her way to sit with Mousewhisker, who liked her, and she liked him back. The gray-and-white tom wrinkled his nose at her, and sighed as well. They could talk later, and the Clan had to be cared for first.
Once all of the cats were gathered for the border patrol, Sandstorm announced that they were going to patrol the ShadowClan border, and that for any cat who had no eaten, they would eat on the way. Now as she took her place beside her brown tabby brother, Whispersong felt a thrill of excitement course through her.
With a flick of her tail, Sandstorm led the patrol into the woods. As they plunged through the dense undergrowth, Whispersong caught herself wishing that her mother could be the one to share with this with...
