Prologue
The rain poured down hard as the thunderstorm grew worse and worse. Lightening lit up the sky as thunder boomed in the background. The once peaceful forest was now a battlefield as cats hissed and clawed at one another viciously. Rain mixed with blood as it flowed into the nearby river.
In the midst of all the chaos, an orange and white shecat with amber eyes was running through the massive hoard of angry cats. She ran through the crowd frantically, as if she was looking for someone. She searched frantically, all the while dodging claws left and right.
"Rainpool! Rainpool, where are you?" She shouted with no response as the cats around her continued to fight. Suddenly, a dark red tom with dark orange eyes, tackled the orange and white shecat to the ground as he clawed at her back. The shecat used all her strength to throw him off. Once he hit the ground, the shecat unsheathed her claws and lunged at the dark red tom. Just at she got less than a tail length away he dodged her attack and using his tail, tossed her back on the ground. Now covered in a mixture of thick mud and blood, the shecat tried to stand back up but was pinned to the ground by another tom. As she struggled to get free, the dark red tom walked over to her, raising his right paw, getting ready to slash her neck open. As she layed there, waiting for her death, she heard a voice calling her in the distance.
"Shinefrost, no!"
Suddenly, there was a light blue she cat with dark blue patches and blue eyes, running toward the dark red tom. As the tom turned around, the light blue shecat slashed at his face, leaving a deep wound over his right eye. As the tom writhed in pain, he took his tail and knocked the light blue shecat off her feet. As she hit the ground, the dark red tom lunged at her, giving the light blue shecat no time to react.
"Rainpool!" Shinefrost screamed as she saw blood splatter onto the ground.
