Song of the Soul- Prologue
Dusk
A mottled black and brown she-cat was sitting on her regular spot on the fence near her Twolegs' nest when she was sprayed with ice cold water from the bird bath. She froze, yowled, and then spun around to find her kits smiling at her mischievously.
"Flash! Robin! What- why did you do that?" She gasped, fur bristling against the cold. She shook her fur in attempt to dry it. A little white she-kit scrambled to join her trouble making littermates.
"Mama, you did the same thing yesterday to me!" The little white kit mewled and giggled as her mother narrowed her eyes playfully at her.
"Of course, Cotton. It seemed to have slipped my mind." Dusk meowed sarcastically. "Now it's getting dark, I want you three in the nest before I return from hunting." The kits nodded obediently and laughed while chasing each other into the Twoleg nest.
Dusk jumped off the fence as soon as she knew her kits were inside. Frost glittered the grass between the Twoleg's nests under the bright moonlight. Dusk shivered from the biting cold.
Soon she reached the large fence that separated the Twolegplace from the large Thunderpath and the Clan territories. She was bunching her leg muscles, ready to jump when a cat jumped onto the fence above her. Dusk narrowed her eyes curiously.
"Larkblossom? What are you-" She was scanning the warrior and noticed her slightly swelling belly. "Oh? You're expecting kits?" She looked up at Larkblossom.
The brown queen was looking down at her with wariness glinting in her eyes. "Yes." She mewed quietly. "I am." She flicked her tail and jumped to the ground.
"I need help, Dusk. Do you know a safe place I can stay?"
?
A sharp, icy wind cut through a small kit's soft fur. The kit mewled pitifully in sickness and fear. Its mother whimpered sadly, as she could offer nothing to help her little one.
"Grayshadow, come join the group. Stormkit is in the paws of StarClan now." A black she-cat stood behind the queen. The gray queen shook her head until she saw the little kit's eyes begin to fade.
"Oh, Nightheart…" The gray queen yowled and turned away from the kit. "She was too young. My poor Stormkit…" She wailed into the black she-cat's fur. A small ginger she-kit padded up behind them.
"Mother, what happened? Where's Stormkit? You promised she'd come back to the group." The kit mewed. Grayshadow had now fallen quiet.
"Sandkit, Stormkit has went to be with StarClan. She will not be returning." She said quietly. Nightheart didn't give the she-kit a chance to open her mouth.
"We need to keep moving. We cannot be caught by a patrol." She meowed fearfully. Grayshadow stared at her, mouth agape.
"You must be joking! Who in their right mind would send a patrol out this far at this time to catch a few queens and their kits?! We have hardly any warriors to defend us!" She snarled. Nightheart narrowed her eyes.
"Fine, stay and end up like Briarpath." The son of Witherstar had turned on his father and had been tortured by starvation and then brutally murdered. Cloudecho's screech could be heard for many forestlengths when she found his body. His own father tore his throat out.
Grayshadow sighed painfully. "Alright. Let's tell the others."
StarClan
The usual Greenleaf breeze had chilled a little as it blew through a bright green meadow. A small red she-kit bounced around a dark red tom. His blue eyes flashed happily as they tumbled through the brush and were laughing as the fell from dizziness.
A light brown she-cat padded towards them with a great brown and red tom by her side. The pair of mates smiled at their carefree spirit.
They looked at each other and smiled, purring, their reunion continuing even though a shadow still loomed on the horizon. They could feel it in their very souls, and yet their hopeful savior had left the ones she was to save.
A pure white tom followed not too far behind them, watching his friends and his other friends' daughter and son playing like kits. He smiled sadly at their way of death, but was happy they were together.
He cut through the field and made his way to a small pool of water.
The water was dark and had begun to become murky but still showed the visions of the Clans.
Icewhisp only saw the fog of confusion in a cat's heart, and the ocean of blood of the ones who would die without the leader that could save them.
