Prologue

Stars covered the sky on a clear cold night only to be covered by thick gray clouds. The moonlight was weak and the moon faded hanging in the shape of a claw in the Leaf-bare sky. If you delve deep into the heart of the dark pine forest you will find a small circle wrapped neatly in brambles. A tall old scraggly pine tree at the edge. A gap small enough only for one animal to fit in, a cat. Suddenly a screech split through the air a queen began to give birth but something was wrong. For the queen had greencough, the kits were healthy the mother not. A light gray tabby finds the cat whose screaming has now stopped.

"No, Soottail!" He whispered sullenly. He buried his face in his mate's fur. "Why?" He sobbed. The tom jerked up and stared with flames in his green eyes at a pale she-cat.

"You did this! You let her die!" His scream was full of pain as he leapt at the cat. Leaving claw marks on her throat. She clung to life, a very fine line between her and StarClan.

"Jaybeak?" a weak voice drifted from the shadows.

"Soottail?" Joyfully he jumped away from the defenseless she-cat to his dying mate's side.

"Jaybeak I have to go."

"No you don't! Stay with me. I love you." Tears slid down Jaybeak's face as he looked into those lovely amber eyes. Soottail gave a weak smile and nudged her kit closer to its father.

"Take care of him, I must leave I want you to think of me when ever you see him, He shall be called Sootkit." She closed her eyes slowly as the light dyed away and she let out her final breath.

The scream was terrible. Jaybeak let out a scream that awoke all of the cats in camp. He looked at the kit in his paws then kicked it away. A frightened white queen picked up the helpless kit and let it feed with her litter that had been born exactly 3 nights from now.

"USELESS KIT! YOU CAUSED HER DEATH! WHENEVER I LOOK AT YOU I WILL BE REMINDED OF THE PAINFUL DEATH YOU CAUSED HER!" And without looking back twice he ran from the nursery, and ran from the camp tears flowing out of his eyes streaming out behind him. Falling on to the dusty moonlit earth, away from his home where all his troubles dwelled. Leaving Sootkit all alone with no family and no one to love…

Peace, love, and save the whales,
