WARRIOR CATS: PROLOGUE

A shadowy figure stepped onto the frozen river, in River Clan territory. "You arrived..." cackled a large, tabby tom, emerging from the other side of River Clan territory.

The shadow cat payed no attention to the mockery, but just let the wind blow through her short fur. "Yes... I have returned." She replied with a sigh. What could be worse than being with him? she thought.

Yowls and screeching echoed through the forest. "Hear that?" snarled the River Clan cat "That is the sound of Thunder Clan's weakness!" The she-cat couldn't help but to bristle a little when she heard him speak down apon her clan.

"I hope you keep your promise!" she whispered bitterly. Looking at the tom, her heart stopped. His face was filled with fury, and his eyes blazed with fire. Did he believe that she did not trust him? She needed his wisdom and protection...

"Foolish cat!" he retorted, "As long as you stay at my side, you will be safe, and you can watch Thunder Clan be destroyed." The cruel tom looked to his left and hastily snapped, "River Clan is patrolling here to see if dying Thunder Clan cats are trying to escape in our territory, act as if you're attacked by me!"

The she-cat did as he said, and laid down flat. The River Clan tom pounced on her, a growl arising in his mighty throat. Was the River Clan patrol going to believe them?

At the edge of Shadow Clan territory, Fireheart, a loyal Thunder Clan warrior, slipped away into the bushes to catch his breath. Fighting cats from Thunder, and Shadow clan battled each other ferociously.

"Graystripe!" whispered Fireheart, calling his friend. "What is it!" his friend snapped with annoyance, " I am trying to fight here!" Suddenly a small, black she-cat from Shadow Clan sprang apon Graystripe and dug her claws into him. With ease, he shook her off.

"Have you seen Sandstorm fighting? Or have you seen her at all? Or scented her?" questioned Fireheart. Graystripe, a bit uneasy from his attack, replied, "That wild she-cat? Why do you want to know where she is?"

Fireheart looked at his friend. "I know she does not like me, she hates me.." he began, "But I suspect something..." Graystripe shared his friend's worried face. "The last time I scented her... It was by the River, and her scent wasn't alone... I smelled a River Clan cat."

Look out for Chapter one! :3
