Prologue
She started running, and every few minutes she would look back. She couldn't see who or what she was running from, only that whatever it was it was chasing her. She took a sharp left to veer it away from the camp. She couldn't understand what was happening but she could not take it into the middle of everyone and risk hurting them. She did however, send out a warning yowl. A few seconds later she could hear more cats coming.
"Dappleheart! A cat yowled, "Dappleheart head toward Four Trees!"
Dappleheart did as she was told; as she took another left to head back the way she had come, only to run right into the thing that was chasing her. Horror shone through her eyes.
The chaser was "Darkstone!" She whispered, "What are you doing? Chasing me like that! You're my clan mate!"
"That's what you think,"Darkstone said in a harsh tone. He started to walk in circles around her, "I have never like being in that dumb Storm Clan. I am no longer you're clan mate. I am in Dark Clan, the clan I belong in."
At that moment Dappleheart's clan mates arrived. It was Windchaser, Thunderwave, and Moonswallow. Each of them having looks of pure horror.
"What do you mean? What about your family? You're kits? What about you're mate Goldenleaf?" asked Thunderwave.
"I never cared about them. They were just an excuse so I could leave and go to Dark Clan to talk to Shadowstar." replied Darkstone.
This time Windchaser stepped up. "Darkstone, you are no longer welcome in Storm Clan. If any cat finds you on our territory by sunrise they have the right to attack you. You are now exiled. Leave now." She said, and then to Thunderwave and Moonswallow she said, "I want you two to go follow him and make sure he crosses the border."
"Ok Windchaser" they said before running to catch up with Darkstone.
How could he do this? Dappleheart asked herself, I thought we were friends.
Windchaser turned to Dappleheart, "Are you ok?" she asked, "I know he was your friend."
"Yeah. Let's just get back to camp." She replied, and then she turned around and headed in the direction they had come from.
