Chapter 1
Tendrilfrost awoke to soft sunlight streaming down, warming her chest fur as it was the targeted spot.
"Tendrilfrost! Time for the battle!" Hissed Foreststar, shaking her.
"Huh?" Tendrilfrost mewed sleepily.
She got to her paws, which ached, but she ignored it, padding outside the warriors' den and arching her back in the pale-dawn light.
"Cats of ThunderClan!" Yowled Foreststar.
Cats looked up to their leader, squinting their eyes against the sunlight.
"Today, we will be victorious against Scar and his band of rogues! He meowed loudly.
Below the Highledge, cats cheered with blood-thirsty caterwauls.
Tendrilfrost slunk down to the ground as Foreststar flicked his tail, signaling for them to go and attack.
She squeezed her eyes shut as he padded up to her.
"Come on, Tendrilfrost! Your Clan needs you!" Foreststar urged.
Tendrilfrost winced as she got to her paws. She wasn't as hungry for battle as some of the other warriors, probably because of her distant kittypet blood. She was one of Firestar's great granddaughters, and cats knew it, though Tendrilfrost wasn't quite sure how. The reign of Firestar, and even Bramblestar, was a long time ago. Seasons upon seasons ago, a kittypet named Rusty joined ThunderClan. He was accepted as an apprentice named Firepaw. Firepaw grew up, loving Spottedleaf, the medicine cat. So on, and so forth.
Tendrilfrost sighed as she bolted out the thorn barrier that protected the camp from foxes, other cats and badgers.
Her mouth gaped open and her eyes stretched wide when she saw all four Clans surrounded, helpless, by Scar and his rogues.
