The Fourth: Part I

by Darren Wilson

He woke in a mysterious forest that he had only heard of in books. He met cats who he could understand. He knows what has happened and will transpire. Why the hell wouldn't he stay there? "I wondered if I was doomed, if Yellowfang would come, this time to take me to Starclan." Rated T for violence and sexual references in the future.

Prologue

A snarl split the peacful night.

Oakheart stiffened. "What was that?"

Whitestorm looked unnerved. He knew better than to investigate, and get himself tangled up in something. "I don't know. Maybe the wind?"

Oakheart sank down. "Maybe..."

A blue-gray she-cat leaped at a smoky she-cat. She pinned the smoky cat down.

"Why would you do this?" She snarled into the smoky cat's face.

The smoky cat bit down hard on her attacker's foreleg. "I did it because I had to!" She tasted blood, and with cold satisfaction her teeth ground on bone.

"Yellowfang! Bluestar! What are you two doing?" The fighting cats looked up. There, on the cliff, stood a cat with glorious golden fur, like a mane.

"Lionheart." Bluestar huffed. She bounded over to him. "Tell Yellowfang that what she has done is not a good decision."

Lionheart hesitated. "But... Why did you do it, Yellowfang?"

Yellowfang stood up. "He is the One."

Bluestar stiffened. "What?"

Yellowfang looked up. "The end of the stars draws near. Three must become four, to battle the darkness that lasts forever."

Lionheart growled. "That sounds like a prophecy."

Yellowfang nodded. "And now, the Fourth has come..."
