The clans were still recovering from Stoneclaw's disappearance; He had a reputation through all of the clans as being a handsome yet cruel warrior. Most of the she cats were moping about, thinking that if he had gotten the chance to know them, he would turn from his cruel ways and they would become mates. Of course, they overlooked the fact that Stoneclaw was a Thunderclan warrior.

Nobody knew where Stoneclaw had gone and after a while, nobody really cared.

Warriors went about their days hunting and training the ones who would follow after them. They spent their evenings conversing with friends and mates. They spent their nights dreaming of what was to come tomorrow or maybe a spectacular catch they had made the day before. Stoneclaw was forgotten. Forgotten by all but one. One who hated his name. Dawnflower.

Dawnflower was beautiful, skilled, kind, and smart. Single toms, and toms with mates who lacked good moral, padded after her with want. She cats were jealous of her. Dawnflower hated the attention she was given. She hated how she cats ignored her and toms padded after her mindlessly. Dawnflower didn't want a mate just yet, for she hasn't found the right tom, as all the toms in her clan were incompetent. But a specific admirer had other ideas.

Stagstride was a handsome young tom who was brash and arrogant, much like Stoneclaw. He was respected and wanted by all the she cats, that is, all but Dawnflower. But Stagstride liked a challenge so he pursued her. He flaunted his good looks to the she cats and turned his nose smugly up to the toms. Stagstride had many faithful followers that hunted with ,or for, him and were at his every beck and call. His most faithful follower was Weaselspeck.

Stagstride was infatuated with Dawnflower and sought to make her his mate. Whether she went willingly or not. Stagstride made it his personal goal to get her to love him. Dawnflower was too smart for that. And thus began, the challenge.


AN: Heheheh you have yet to figure out why Dawnflower hated Stoneclaw... so, what did y'all think of this chapter? Yes no dialogue but I had to introduce a few characters... Please don't leave this fanfic for dead just yet! I plan on making the next chapter better! Please review! Reviews are motivation!
