Prologue

It was a dark cool night, even though it was Greenleaf the nights started to feel cooler as leaf-fall started to come. Birdwhisker was slowly walking out of the camp looking back and forth before leaving the clan and running off. As he did, he had be careful and not run into any other clans or even his own. Birdwhisker finally made it to a small pound, and sighed then took a drink from the cool river.

As he drank, he didn't notice another cat came by and took a sip. He stopped, and looked up seeing the cat taking a drink as well. The other cat stopped and looked at Birdwhisker.

"Oh hello." The she-cat said to Birdwhisker.

"H-Hi." Birdwhisker replied. The she-cat giggled and Birdwhisker was confused at her action. "I-I never seen cats come here before. It was always me."

"Well. Then I'm the first." The she-cat gently claimed.

Now it was Birdwhisker to giggle. "Yeah." He said. "I'm Birdwhisker, I'm a DuskClan warrior!" He claimed smiling looking at the moon. "You?"

The she-cat looked nervous and she didn't want to revel herself to the young DuskClan warrior. Birdwhisker looked at her, and saw why she didn't want to show herself. "Let me guess, you're from another clan, and you're afraid I'm going to attack you." He explained. Even though it was dark the she-cat nodded slowly. Birdwhisker went closer to her, by stepping into the water.

The water wasn't too deep, and was small enough it only touched his paws. "I won't attack you, just tell me who you are." He said.

The she-cat sighed. She looked around hoping not too see anyone from her clan catch her, and she slowly appeared to Birdwhisker. The later was surprised when she saw her white coat and her shiny silver cloud shaped spots. The she-cat looked at Birdwhisker, and had the same expression he had. "I'm Silverpaw." She whispered.

Birdwhisker didn't reply to her, and saw her golden brown eyes, and her beautiful coat. She was beautiful even if she was from a different clan. "Wow." He whispered. "You're an apprentice from LightClan aren't you?" He asked.

"That's right." Silverpaw replied. Her ears picked up seeing; Birdwhisker didn't want to attack her.

Congrats on being an apprentice, I was just made a warrior not too long ago." Birdwhisker said smiling.

"Cool." Silverpaw exclaimed. "Congrats on being a warrior."

"Thank you." Birdwhisker said. Silverpaw smiled. The two cats faced each other, as the stars glistened behind them. The two where ready to get closer, till Silverpaw gasped. Birdwhisker was surprised by her action. "Is something wrong?"

Silverpaw nodded. "Yes. I sent my clan coming near here. I have to go, I don't think anyone would want me to be with a DuskClan warrior." Silverpaw explained leaving the small pond of water.

Birdwhisker was right; he left the water as well and was heading back to his clan. However, he wanted to ask Silverpaw something first before she left. "Wait!" He called out, stopping Silverpaw from her tracks. "Well, you come back tomorrow?" He asked.

Silverpaw smiled. "Sure." She replied with a smile and ran back to her clan.
