A half-moon glowed in the smooth flowing river, so the half-moon reflected in the water, looking silver. The silence was broken only by the wind blowing the grass and leafs on the ground from leaf-fall, and the whisper of trees in the forest beyond.

There was a few shadow's who ran pass, making the leafs from the ground fly up, like they were fly pass instead. The shadow's are revealed to be two cats. One is a tom with unusual colors on his fur, he had flame like patterns that were red and orange and a midnight purple fur. Surprisingly the tom had a pair of wing which is unusual for a cat to have. The other was a she-cat having pure white fur and red and blue paws. The she-cat is holding a kit's scruff with her mouth. The kit has combined colors and patterns of the two cats, who appear to be the parents to this kit.

They're running, running faster and faster as they can, each second. They are running from something, something twice as big as them. Not the size of a dog, but a bear. The two cats were trying to find shelter to sleep for the night. But they accidentally went into a bear cave where the bear, that's chasing them, was still in there. They're running out of breath, as well as time to live. They must find someplace to hide their kit before it can not have a full cat life.

Then… they only saw black. They didn't make it. The bear slandered them, gone for good. But... something's not right, where did the kit go. The kit was not near the parents dead bodies. But was in the tall grass, still alive and breathing, making little meow squeaks like trying to say 'where's mommy and daddy. I can't feel them anywhere.' The bear didn't scent the kit so it went back to it's cave, satisfied that it killed it's intruders.

The kit was alone, it was about a few days old, it's too young to fend for itself in the wild. Thankfully, there were two twolegs walking in the forest for their camping trip back to their home. One was female and the other a male. While they were walking the female heard tiny meows from in the tall grass. She suspect it was a kit meowing for help. She ran to where the meowing was from, the male ran after her, not knowing what's going on, "Where are you going." he said.

"I hear something, like tiny meows. I think it's a kit who needs help. Come on!" the female said, urging him to speed up.

When they got to the sound, they saw the kit…, as well as the parents of the kit. They were shocked and saddened by what happened here. The female picked up the kitten, making sure it doesn't have any injuries, thank goodness it didn't. The female was relieved for the kitten to be alright, but when she looked at the male near to the parents she remembered about them, having sadness in her eyes. The male examined the two cats pulse's… the male looked at the female and shooked his head, she was struck with grief and sadness for the parents and the kit.

They were really dead. "W-well since t-they're gone, c-can we keep the kit. Please." the female said, begged the male for them to keep the kit, her eyes filled with tears. "Sure, we can keep it." he answered, the female was thrilled and then was thinking of a name for it. "Let's call her… Shadow!" "That's a perfect name." the male said smiling. "We'll keep you safe for now on." 'The one that protects will win in the end'

Meanwhile in ThunderClan, in the nursery there was a kit with flame like patterns and a midnight coat with unusual wings. It was sound asleep, but then something happened where the kit didn't notice but soon the others will. There was a star appearing with light in the kit's mane, might resembling some cats death. 'A cat will be evil, but a hero in the end.'
