Dancing With The Devils
Chapter 1: Prolouge
As the tom opened his pale blue ocean eyes, the surroundings around him was a shock. Dead trees and grass. As he stood up it crunched under neath him. Tasting the air it was scentless, and almost no smell. Staring around he flicked his tail, and tried to locate himself. Slowly he edged himself into the dead forest, his eyes cold and weary. The recent events had made him storm of out camp in such a rage he did not remember falling asleep. Hearing his stomach rumble softly he tried to find prey. Dropping into a hunter's crouch his eyes scanned around, only to flicker with disappointment. No prey. No cats. Where was he? Sitting down he licked a paw, unaware of a new presence. Hearing a movement, his muscles rippled underneath his pelt as he whipped around. A fraction of a moment to late and a poor direction choice resulted in pain searing across his face as claws rippled through his flesh. A long line as it ended near his throat he screeched in pain. Blood slowly trickling from the wound he unsheathed his claws and bristled. Leaping forward he knocked the cat away and saw the smaller frame and feminine face. Hissing in anger he lashed out, catching her muzzle and leaving a small wound" Who are you?" he snarled.
The she cat seemed reluctant to answer to a deeper voice and a new cat appeared. A large brown tom"Go one answer him". Nodding the she cat turned back to the tom" Very well. I am Thornmist. You?" .
The tom narrowed his eyes, lost in thought. Shaking his head he answered shortly later" My name is... Wolfshadow." Wolfshadow turned his head to the other tom, scarlet blood dripping down his brown pelt and he scratched the dirt with a jet black paw" You are?"
The tom gave a dark smile" You should recognize this. I am Thundershadow". Every muscle and instinct told Wolfshadow to bolt away. Thundershadow. The tom who slaughtered a patrol of his own clanmates. Who tore 3 lives away from his own brother , Nightstar. Thundershadow who was dead. Thundershadow, his uncle. " But your dead!" he mewed, eyes widening. " Where am I?"
Thundershadow chuckled" Yes I am nephew. You're smarter than I thought. As to where you are, you are dreaming, and have appeared in the Dark Forest and interrupted my training of Thornmist. I will roam again in the forest. I will be reborn and rule in blood. Now get ready. You will either survive this fight, or will die. Thornmist attack now!" the large tom snarled
