WARRIORS

The Empty Forest

Prologue

A blue-gray she-cat with fur that shimmered like a thousand stars stepped onto the huge rock in the middle of a seemingly empty clearing. The she-cat flicked her tail and, as if by signal, many starry warriors stepped into the clearing.

A young, beautiful tortoiseshell she-cat padded lightly over to the first cat.

"Is it time already, Bluestar?" She mewed softly, her eyes filled with concern.

"Yes Spottedleaf. Get Silverstream, Lionheart and Whitestorm. We'd better get going."

"But Bluestar. Can we really leave the Clans?"

"I don't know anymore. I just don't know. . . " Bluestar murmured grimly.
