Storm Clouds Gather

by Smokewisp

2nd book to Into Darkness. A young shecat,Snowpaw, is the daughter of Leafstar. Her adventures in her Clan are lead to split loyalties and callings. Snowpaw has a forbidden love while one cat stands in the way. Suddenly, 2 mysterious cats join the Clan.

4. Why?

"Who are you?"

Leafstar called from the High Rock. All the cats in the Clan waited to know who these strange cats were. An elder poked his head out of his den curiously.

Lightning rolled his eyes, stepping forward, "I am Lightning...this is my brother, Thunder."

Leafstar narrowed her eyes, "Why have you come here? And where from?"

This time, Thunder spoke, "We have come from the Tribe of Rushing Water."

Interested murmurs shot through the crowd. The Tribe of Rushing Water?

"Where is that?"

"What's Rushing Water?"

"It's water that's rushing!"

"But why have the come?"

Lightning explained, "We have come here...To escape. From the Tribe of Burning Embers."

"Tribe of Burning Embers?" Leafstar snorted, "Is that even a place?"

Lightning hesitated, unable to find words.

"Well, no...we have just come here to escape and..."

Suddenly a yowl sounded.

"Snowpaw is gone!" cried Glacierclaw.
