Prologue

Firestar looked on, nervous. Due to parting with his clan more recent then the rest of the StarClan warriors, he didn't agree with this idea. "Firestar," Bluestar cautioned.

"We have to do this," Goosefeather proclaimed, his eyes wild, "I've seen a terrible future, one where the clans are dying due to being overpopulated. Unless we do this, they will all die."

"So, you're saying..." Firestar was cut off by a warning hiss from Tallstar.

"We need to sacrifice six cats from each of the clans, to save them all!"

"Are you sure this is the right thing to do?" A new voice sounded from behind them.

"Yes," Bluestar snapped, "And you are the one who has to tell Jayfeather, Cinderpelt."

"Can't Yellowfang do it?" Cinderpelt pleaded, "Or..." She stopped herself.

"No." That was Crookedstar, "We've already decided that you will tell him."

"It's okay," Mudfur from RiverClan padded over to Cinderpelt, "None of us," he glanced at Flametail and Barkface, "Want to break it to them either, but we have to."

.-.

Jayfeather was sorting out herbs in his medicine supply. Tonight was the Half-Moon, and he had to meet at the Moonpool with the other medicine cats. "Leafpool," Jayfeather called out to his mother, who had come back to being a medicine cat after the battle, "Will you look after Briarlight whilst I'm gone?"

Jayfeather didn't want to admit it, but the young she-cat was dying. "Of course," Leafpool warmly mewed.

Jayfeather knew his mother was full of pity, without using his powers. "I'll tell you all about it," he promised, making his way out of the den.

Suddenly, Jayfeather sensed his brother next to him. "Stay safe," Lionblaze cautioned.

Ever since the battle with the Place of No Stars, Lionblaze had been more worried about Jayfeather. "I'll be fine," he assured his brother.

He met Kestrelflight, Willowshine, Mothwing and Littlecloud at the border. "How's life?" Mothwing broke the tension between the cats.

"Fine," the other three, excluding her apprentice, muttered.

It was silent for the rest of the way.

Finally, Jayfeather rested his muzzle against the moon water.

He woke up in an empty field. "Hollyleaf?" He called out, hoping his sister would come.

There was no reply. "Firestar?" He was annoyed now.

No reply. "Yellowfang?" His voice was desperate.

It was Cinderpelt who stepped out from the shadows.

"Six from each clan will fight until there is two survivors," Cinderpelt proclaimed.

"Why?" Jayfeather asked.

"To prevent the starvation that lays ahead," she muttered.

Images flashed in Jayfeather's mind, cats from his clan thin and skinny. Last of all, he saw the invincible Lionblaze, lying deathly still, his ribs sticking out. "Every cat will have to go to the gathering, where StarClan will pick three cats, and Bramblestar will nominate the others."

Jayfeather looked horrified. "That's just how it is, I'm afraid. Twenty-four cats have to go into the Death Game."

The world was dark again. Fear was flowing off the other cats, apart from Mothwing. "D-did you all get the same message?" Littlecloud's voice was nervous.

"The Death Game," Willowshine whispered, horrified.

First of all, *spoiler alert*, I'm aware that Hazeltail, Toadstep and Icecloud die. *Sob*. I'm also aware Daisy doesn't have more kits. However, this is a fanfiction. And Icecloud and Daisy are important, so...
