Prologue

The russet furred deputy walked through chest deep snow. Her bright green eyes pierced the shadows with shining determination. The memory of her previous mate's amber eyes burning with betrayal and rage made her blood run colder than the snow surrounding her.

Squirrelflight saw the four cats she was looking for. She saw a shadow black she-cat tense as she approached, as an expressionless mask fell over her features, it alerted the others.

Squirrelflight's sharp green eyes caught the sky blue eyes of her previous mate.

She noticed everything, The way his front claws slid out and how his face fell emotionless, how he pinned his ears to the back of his head. How his voice came out as hiss, "Squirrelflight"

However she also noticed how he stepped half a step to the left as if to guard the shadow black she-cat. How the shadow black she-cat did the same to him. How the young glossy black she-cat stepped to his side, and the orange and white tom stepped forward a step.

Squirrelflight noticed how they were trusting of each other. She sat down and said,

"Hello, Fallen warriors"

Then she collapsed from the freezing cold that had penetrated her short fur and seemed to seep through her skin, all the way into her soul and her beating heart.

Her last thought before she fell unconscious was short and simple,

Survive no matter the cost.

The chapters will be longer and from a specific cat's point of view (Pov) but I felt like this story needed a Prologue, and yes Nightcloud is still the main character, I should update soon. ~Leopardfang
