Chapter 1
Her claws clung to the tree growing from the side of the rock. She could not see her father or any other cat. The wind had finally died down enough that if her father had been there, she would have been able to hear him. But she could hear no life, no sound of prey or friend, only the faint wind in her ears and the water from somewhere below. The clouds had passes and the sun shown down on the mountain side.
Clinging to the branch, she tried to climb down but her hind leg did not respond and she fell onto her swollen belly. Her eyes squinted shut. She did not wanting to look back because she knew how bad the wound might be. Turning her head back she saw nothing but blood covering her white fur. She couldn't see her pad or paw. Her leg was still there but where her paw should have been, there was nothing. Luckily no pain could be felt from the wound, for she knew if she could feel the pain it would be unbearable.
Standing on her remaining hind leg she half hopped, half clawed her way up the tree to the rock. Again she was lucky that the tree grew from a path and that it had survived the storm. "Thank StarClan," she meowed when she landed on solid ground. She glanced around her to get her barrings, the change of landscape was remarkable. Down the mountain front was nothing but water, as far as the eye could see - water. It was like the great lake had risen and covered the earth, all accept for the mountain. When the clans had been climbing the mountain it had been dotted with trees and bushes where prey could hide, allowing for cats to live in the stony terrain. Now the mountain was a sheet of gray stone and rocks. From what trees were left the green leaves were missing. The smaller trees and bushes had been pulled from their roots by the wind and rain.
Gathering courage she forced herself to move. As she followed the path she saw a lump in the way ahead. Not able to run she hobbled her way as fast as she could to it. It was a body. The scent of ShadowClan was nearly hidden completely under the reek of death and debris. Lowering her head for a moment she mourned before dragging the body to some shelter from predators, if any had lived. She found herself praying for all the clan cats as she sheltered the lost warrior, if any cat had lived she hoped she'd find them soon.
Continuing on she came across a woodland mouse, dead, but her belly would accept anything, so she ate the kill. Only four mouthfuls, four small bits that would hold off hunger for a short while and help her kits to live. Moving on she climbed higher; and the higher she climbed the farther she could see. It was as if the world had been turned to nothing but water.
She came across no other bodies. A few pieces of fur and feathers scattered the ground but no kills. Also there was no fresh water throughout the day and that night she lay down under the cover of a cliff, hunger, thirsty and alive.
Looking up, fear filled her heart. The sky was clear but all the stars were gone. "StarClan, where are you?" her meow fell on a black, silent sky.
