SUMMARY- Two kits Springkit and Nightkit live together in Waterclan. They grew up together listening to tales from the elders. One of their favorite tales were the ones about a strange clan that lived in the forest. For some reason the clan had never been detected. These stories were ment to keep little kits from venturing out of the nursery but when a mysterious group of cats kill Springkit's mother it doesn't seem quite right... Oh by the way this is a companion to The Hidden Secret they follow the same plot line but are set in different clans (This is in WaterClan the other is in ShadowClan) So if you like this story then read the other although you don't have to read both to get what is going on, As always please REVIEW
A robin sang out it's song in a large oak tree boardering a cirlce of grass land. Beside the cats in the clearing, birds were the only creature that had accseces to the clearing. In the center of the grass stood a huge rock, it
towered over the camp like a huge creature guarding it's land. Along the north edge of the camp was a open moor. All though it faced the open lands, no creature on the moor could see the clearing since it was expertly
hidden with brush. In between the trees boardering the other edges of the camp were piles of torns and undergrowth. From the outside it looked like a huge pile of thorns that no cat could get through.
Suddenly on the west edge of the clearing a cat appeared as if by magic from the underbrush. As it walked through the camp cats stopped and stairted, whispering among themselves. The cat didn't pay attention to the
others and it didn't stop walking until it was in front of a stone den. The entrance was so high up that the only way to get into the den was by scrambling up onto a rock close by and jumping into the opening. The cat did
this with apparent ease. Walking on silent paws into the hole, it pasued half way in and bowed touching it's muzzle to the ground. The cat staid this way until a voice came out from the darkest part of the cave, the voice was
harsh and cruel, "Why have you entered my private cave, it better be good unlike last time."
The feline lifted it's head from the cold stone but kept gave fixed on a crack in the floor as it replied. "Master I have found one of the chosen I have found the Densher."
"This is good, you've done well. I will reward you when the time comes. Now go tell the others what you have seen and remember we need four cats not just the Densher." The cat nodded touched the floor again and
backed out of the cave never turning it's back on the voice until it came to the ledge.
