Prologue: Where will they go?

Night had settled over the Forest of Cloud, Tree, and Ghost while the silver moon shone brightly overhead, tiny white stars puncturing the black sky. The wind played gently with the delicate, green blades of grass that covered the ground beneath silent paws as a small group of cats made their way towards the legendary ForestPoint. Suddenly, the group stopped as a muscular, yet slender blue-grey cat signaled with a flick of her tail. The cat's jade green eyes swept across the area as her paws eagerly kneaded the grass covered ground before motioning for the group to follow her once more. The blue-grey cat, Oceansky, set a gentle, yet swift pace for the group to follow as the bluish-grey she-cat made her way through the green and browning foliage.

The group traveled for a short while before Oceansky once again motioned for the group to stop. A small smile was placed upon her blue-grey muzzle as she inhaled deeply, catching the scents of the forest and of TreeClan and GhostClan. "We are the last ones to arrive. Let us go." Oceansky mewed to her followers, loping down a small slope with her Clan mates behind her. As CloudClan entered the Gathering, cat heads turned to watch them with unblinking eyes. Oceansky's followers ignored their stares and settled themselves among the crowd as the CloudClan leader made her way elegantly onto the Rock of Sky, seating herself in her normal spot. The blue-grey she-cat nodded to the large brown tabby tom, Forestsky, Leader of TreeClan, and to the large pale silver tom, Ghostsky, Leader of GhostClan.

"Sorry for my late arrival. The Eagle was about." Oceansky mewed, daring to say the name of the mortal enemy to all the Clans. Hisses of fright and rage erupted from the cats below; Ghostsky turned his chilling silver eyes upon the crowd and silenced them with a cold and haunting yowl. Forestsky nodded coolly to Ghostsky before turning to the crowd.

"As I was saying before CloudClan arrived, patrols have said that they have scented rogues near our borders and we wish to warn you to watch your camp carefully." Mewed the brown tabby tom, his blue eyes showing a trace of worry.

"Yes, my patrols have also reported finding scents and even hunted prey left by the rogues." Ghostsky spoke up, his voice filled with ice and hatred. A few apprentices drew back under his gaze before he averted it to Oceansky. "Have you also found traces of the cats?" Oceansky nodded and stepped up to the edge as she opened her mouth to speak.

"My Clan has also reported these findings. So, rogues have indeed been hunting and using our lands." The blue-grey she-cat answered, looking about the crowd. Her eyes drifted to the other leaders and a spark of worry entered her jade-green gaze. "What should we do?"

"Nothing, except send out more patrols…" Forestsky mewed, his face somber. Ghostsky nodded coolly, adding his silent agreement. Oceansky sighed worriedly, but her face showed no emotion.

"Very well; now I wish to speak of my Clan." She mewed, as she returned to the edge of the rock after Forestsky and Ghostsky nodded their approval. "Cats of the Forest of Cloud, Tree, and Ghost, I wish to news of how my Clan is fairing." Oceansky began, the moon peaking through the darkness and casting its rays upon the she-cat, "Sadly, our Elder, Greywhisker, went to hunt with SkyClan late yesterday. We all mourn his passing, but we know that he's in a better place. Also, two of our apprentices have been made into warriors. Seapaw is now Seastorm and Silverpaw is now Silverheart."

Mews of approval sounded among the cats as Oceansky stepped back, allowing Ghostsky to step forward. His mouth parted as he began to speak when suddenly the bushes surrounding ForestPoint parted and a mysterious black, silver, and white queen stumbled into the clearing. Blood flowed openly from wounds that pierced her side and blood ran into her eyes from a cut across her forehead. Gasps arose from the crowd as three cats rushed forward, each a Medicine Cat. The first to reach the queen was the muscular grey and white tom, Stonewing, his eyes filled with worry.

"She's starting to kit!" he mewed as the brown and white she-cat, Eaglesoul, Medicine Cat of CloudClan, and the brown and orange she-cat, Splashmoon, Medicine Cat of GhostClan, reached his Clan. The queen screeched in pain as a contraction raked her weak body, her blue eyes wide. Eaglesoul placed three poppy seeds in front of the strange queen as another contraction spread through her body.

"Eat them! They will ease your pain!" Eaglesoul urged as Splashmoon mewed as the first kit was born. The kit was a large jet black tom with specks of silver and white dotting his body. Moving away, Splashmoon began to vigorously lick the he-kit, trying to start his blood flowing. Another screech sounded from the queen as she gave birth to another kit. Eaglesoul tried to urge the queen to eat the seeds, but the cat stubbornly refused. Stonewing was now licking the second born kit. The second born was a white she-kit with silver tabby stripes running along her back and black paws. Sighing in frustration, Eaglesoul waited for the other kit to be born, her yellow eyes looking anxiously at the queen. Finally the third kit was born and Eaglesoul began grooming her. The last kit born was another she-kit, white and silver with black paws.

The queen's body moved fiercely as another convulsion raked her body and her final screech of unbearable pain surged through her body. The cats watched in silence as the queen laid still, dead. Eaglesoul looked to Oceansky and shook her head, a hushed silence spreading around the Gathering. A terrified mew rang out as a she-cat looked to the sky. "The moon! It's been covered! SkyClan is angry!"

Oceansky stepped to the edge of the Rock of Sky once again, fear appearing in her green eyes. "SkyClan is not pleased. This Gathering must end, but not before we decide the fate of these kits born before us." She mewed, her bluish-grey fur ruffling gently in a cool breeze that whipped across the area.

"Why not just take the kits that our Medicine Cat's cared for?" Ghostsky suggested coolly, his chilling gaze fixed hungrily upon the large black kit that Splashmoon stood over protectively. Some cats murmured their agreement while Oceansky and Forestsky exchanged looks of slight uncertainty before relenting.

"Very well, we will take the kits that our Medicine Cats have chosen." Forestsky said, ending the Gathering. Leaping down from Rock of Sky, Forestsky took the mewling she-kit that Stonewing passed to him. The tom flicked his tail and TreeClan disappeared into the night. Ghostsky leapt onto the ground with a cold grace and took the black he-kit from Splashmoon and motioned for his Clan to follow him. Soon, only CloudClan remained.

"Tomorrow I will send two cats out to bury this poor creature." Mewed Oceansky as she landed on her paws, picking up the last kit gently; she motioned with her slender tail for her Clan and soon ForestPoint was deserted except for the body of the mysterious queen.

Suddenly, a pair of dark amber eyes appeared in the bushes surrounding ForestPoint, followed by a muscular, massive black tom. His eyes stared coolly down at the dead queen as five other large and muscular toms appeared behind him. "So, Starlight, you have escaped me for good." He mewed, his voice seething with disgust and hatred. Turning to a large red tom on his left, he motioned with his tail to the queen known as Starlight. "Dispose of her."

As the tom began dragging the queen's body from view, the large black tom threw his head to the sky and let a chilling and rage-filled yowl escaped his massive jaws. The line of toms behind him remained expressionless, even though deep down, they all feared him. The yowl continued for a few more minutes and finally it ended.

"You cannot escape me my kits…No, you will all return to me…You cannot escape the wrath of the Leader of the Hell-cats! You cannot escape Deathclaw, son of Deathwing!" The words rang throughout the haunting silence as the sky grew darker, the moon and its silver rays, as well as the stars, disappearing from view, enveloping ForestPoint in complete and total darkness…
