Prologue

A tortoiseshell and white she-cat slunk through the shadows until she

reached a fallen branch beside the blood river. A mottled gray tom stood

beside the fallen branch talking to some other cats. He looked up as he

noticed her. Ah Mapleshade, you're finally here, said the mottled gray

, I'm here Thistleclaw, Mapleshade snapped. It looks like the dark

forest is coming to an end, she remarked as she looked at the other cats.

Not as long as I'm here, meowed Thistleclaw. We can recruit other cats.

Then we can attack the Clans again. Thistleclaw, meowed Antpelt, I've

found a group of exiles living together. Their battle skills are outstanding

and they have the same plans as us. They want revenge on the Clans. I

went with him, Thistleclaw and you can trust me. There is a leader from

each Clan of exiles, meowed Sparrowfeather. I think I have a plan,

meowed Darkstripe, I should go visit the ThunderClan leader, Clawface,

the ShadowClan, Mapleshade the RiverClan and Antpelt the WindClan. I

think that could work out purred Thistleclaw. I think Thistleclaw should

become our leader, suggested Snowtuft. Thistlestar, Thistlestar the Dark

forest warriors cheered below. My deputy shall be Darkstripe, Thistlestar

announced. Darkstripe, Darkstripe the Dark forest cheered. Darkstripe

looked on proudly. Thistlestar beckoned Darkstripe with his tail.

Darkstripe, tell me who the ThunderClan leader is, Thistlestar questioned.

Runningfox, Darkstripe awnsered...

Hoped you liked the prologue! ^_^

BTW, I'm putting up a poll for names in my story.
