Prologue
Rusty woke up in his nest and ate some food and drank some water before going outside and jumped onto the fence that separated his garden from the forest. He had already decided that today was the day that he would explore the forest. He quickly glanced around before jumping of the fence and began to head towards the forest, but a voice stopped him.
"Hey, Rusty. Where are you going? your not going into the forest are you?" Smudge meowed appearing at the top of the fence and balanced clumsily.
"Just for a look," Rusty meowed
"Well, you wouldn't get me in there, there are huge wild cats in there huge eat wild rabbits for breakfast and sharpen their claws old old bones," Smudge meowed shuddering.
"I'm just going for a look," Rusty repeated and headed into the forest
"Well, don't say I didn't warn you?" Smudge called after him.
Rusty sighed and shook his head and dropped into a crouch as he saw a mouse and began to stalk towards it. Suddenly something slammed into him and he was thrown into a tree, scrambling to his paws he came nose nose to nose with a dark brown tabby tom with burning amber eyes.
"What are you doing on thunderclan territory," the tom snarled slashing him across the face sending him flying
"I didn't mean to intrude," Rusty whimpered
"Tigerclaw, what have we hear," a voice sneared and a pale tabby tom with black stripes running through his fur stepped out of the trees
