Prologue

A leader sat, watching over her clan. It was nearly midnight when a white cat padded over and sat next to her. "Whitefoot," she regarded the cat. "How's Nightstorm?"

"Her wounds are deep, Goldenstar, but she shall survive. As for Leopardpaw, I am not sure……."

Goldenstar bowed her head. "And where is she?"

"With Brightflower," the white cat sounded rather distant.

"She's becoming a nice young she-cat," Goldenstar was referring to Brightflower, a she-cat warrior who was injured recently. The leader paused. "Whitefoot, Brightflower will never be a warrior again, will she?"

The white cat shook his head. "I was hoping I could keep her as an apprentice……"

The she-cat nodded. "I had hoped StarClan would give her some kind of destiny among the clan…" she replied.

Suddenly, a big brown tabby raced over. "Oakwind is dead!" he cried.

"My deputy………." Goldenstar bowed her head. "Where is his body?" she asked Thistledown, the warrior who had arrived with the news.

"By the Highrock," he answered.

The she-cat nodded. She stood up slowly, and muttered, under her breath, "ShadowClan will PAY!"
