In a forest near a giant lake, dogs could be heard from here to four trees. Two cats, a tom and a she-cat were both in WindClan were trying to run away from the sound. The tom's name was Sagetail and the she-cat's name was Thundertail. Thundertail was holding her squirming kit clamped in her jaws.

The dog's barking increasingly got closer. Some dog pack got loose from their twolegs. The three WindClan cats were right on the border with ThunderClan. "Honey, you'll be safe here, I promise you. We told our leader we'd help him get the dogs out of our territory." Thundertail told her kit as she set him on the other border.

"Yes, ThunderClan is very understanding; especially their leader. Tell them the future of the clans depends on this so ask them if you can join!" Sagetail went on hurriedly.

"Ok, mother, father, I promise. Please be careful! I'll see you at the next Gathering!!!" the tiny kit called as his parents dissapeared into the trees. The kit was about to run away into the heart of ThunderClan when he heard his parents screeching in terror and more dogs barking. Suddenly, he heard a splash followed by silence. Mom? Dad?
