AN Hey all! I've recently rekindled my love of warrior cats and this is what's come of it. It's a sort of re-imagining of my abandoned fic IslandClan's Struggle, with the same cast of characters but in the four clans that I grew up reading about. I hope you like it! You can find me on tumblr tanglestripe for warriors and lily-the-leopard for my main. Hoping to upload weekly on Mondays!

The night was quiet, warm with only a soft breeze to suggest that leaf-fall was nearly upon them. In the center of the forest were four tall trees, a place for the clans to gather under the full moon, but tonight there were no clans and no moon in the sky to gather beneath.

A silver tom ran into the clearing at full speed and scrambled up the face of the large rock at the center of the clearing. A calico she-cat watched from the branches of one of the tall trees, but could not move to save him as the baying of dogs grew closer. She looked on as he pressed himself down to the rock as if to hide and her eyes lit up with the lightning in the distance.

"A storm is approaching, Spottedstream," a familiar voice whispered in her ear as the pelts of countless dogs flashed through the clearing towards the rock, "and the river will run red with blood before it passes."
