She shivered at the feeling of frost between her webbed toes. Eaglepelt darted in front of her, his long legs taking long strides forward. They were desperate to get back to ThunderClan; they had been caught in RiverClan territory and were being hunted by the clan's strongest warriors.
Rosefur only halted to prick her ears and listen to the wail of a kit crying out for it's mother. Oh how she longed for a kit, although she did have one of her own, the kit was born dead. It had only happened a moon ago, and her heart was still in pieces.
Eaglepelt halted, the snowy winds only growing stronger. He glanced over his shoulder to Rosefur, who was running in the direction of the wailing. Eaglepelt hesitated before darting after her.
"Rosefur! Rosefur!" He called out to the brown she-cat. No response. Rosefur is going to get us killed doing foolish things like this! I'd normally let things like this slide, but.. not this time!
"Rosefur!" He called to her one final time. A blurr of barren, snow-coated trees dashed past him as he darted farther and farther into the snowy territory. He halted, barely seeing the brown tabby crouched next to a snow-coated kit laying in the snow, wailing. She appeared to be letting it nurse from her.
"Rosefur, we must go now! We don't have time, if RiverClan catches us again, we will be outnumbered!" Rosefur grumbled under her breath.
"If we leave the kit here, it will freeze to death!" Rosefur shouted at the hairless tom. Suddenly, another wail burst out of a snow-barren tree. Eaglepelt trotted over to a nearby tree and peeked his head into an owl's nest, and what he saw was surprising. Another kit!
Eaglepelt gently picked it up by it's scruff and grumbled. "Fine. We will take them back to ThunderClan. But we must hurry, or else us and the kits will be as good as fresh-kill!" Rosefur nodded, gripping the kit firmly by it's scruff, darting away with Eaglepelt into the frost-covered territory.
Author's Note
Sorry if this prologue is short, I had tons of ideas for the prologue and decided on this one. I'll try to add chapters as soon as I can, but I'm still in school and it's hard to find spare time to write, but tomorrow spring break starts so I should get chapter one out by tomorrow or Wednesday.
Cya in the next chapter. :3
