She creeped closer and closer to the unsuspecting mouse. The rodent was too busy gnawing on the nut and she was too busy stalking it to know that she was going to become the prey. As she crept closer she heard a branch snap behind her, the mouse heard it to and ran out.
"Great Starclan!" She swore.
The hunter turned around to growl at whoever made her lose her prey. When she turned around all she saw was a shadow with red eyes. She let out a yowl and ran away, the figure chased after her! Getting closer and closer….
"Ambershade! Wake up!"
She woke up with a start and was relieved to see herself in her nest back in Frostclan.
"Oh hello Snowdust," Ambershade greeted her former mentor.
The white warrior flicked her ears, "Are you okay? You were yowling in your sleep!"
"I'm okay, it was just a nightmare."
"Glad you're okay, you are on the dawn patrol. They are waiting for you at the entrance."
Ambershade's eyes widened and she dashed outside. There was frost on the ground and it glittered like stars.
"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Ambershade gasped.
"Its okay," Deerwhisker meowed.
"Yeah it happens to all of us," Hailtooth answered.
The patrol headed off out of camp. It was cold but it felt good to Ambershade. As they continued patrolling their territory, Ambershade's nightmare seemed to slip away. It was just a bad dream after all.
After they finished marking the border between Frostclan and Breezeclan they began to head back. Suddenly a mouse darted in front of them and stopped at a nearby beach tree. Ambershade looked at Deerwhisker for permission.
"We aren't hunting but with leaf-bare on the way the clan won't say no to prey."
Ambershade nodded and crept up on the mouse. The wind was blowing the right direction and the mouse wasn't paying attention. Ambershade crept closer than leaped. The mouse never saw her coming and was killed instantly. Happy, Ambershade trotted back to her clanmates to find them all dead. Deerwhisker had his throat slashed, Hailtooth had blood running down his back, Petalwish, who was a gentle she-cat, had her stomach opened. The sight of her dead clanmates didn't scare the amber she-cat. What scared her was the fact a black cat with red eyes was staring straight at her.
