Chapter 1

Jayfeather awoke to the sound of Seedpaw's excited mews.

She had sat vigil because she was now a warrior, but Jayfeather had forgotten her warrior name.

"Seedmist, I'm so proud of you!" Sorreltail exclaimed to her daughter.

So it was Seedmist.

It reminded Jayfeather of the prophecy.

"Lilycloud said that she wasn't feeling good last night." Seedmist told her mother.

Jayfeather heard the sound of gagging from the warriors' den.

Quickly he raced over to where Lilycloud was sprawled out in her nest, a pool of vomit beside her.

"Oh, gross!" Berrynose hissed before walking out of the warriors' den.

Jayfeather ran over to the medicine den and snatched up some willow.

"Eat this." He instructed Lilycloud, but the dark tabby she-cat was clearly not listening.

She carried a faint scent of death on her, and her breathing was slow and her breaths rumbled in her chest and rasped in her throat. Her stomach heaved, she threw up, and then coughed.

She then lay still.

The scent of death on her was much stronger now, and she stopped breathing.

Jayfeather could suddenly see, and he saw a smirk creep across Seedmist's face before it was finally dark again. He was blind once more.

"No. You didn't!" Molefrost hissed to his mate, Seedmist.

"Poisoned your own sister with death berries?"

Jayfeather eavesdropped on the two young warriors.

"What's going on?" Ambertail hissed, flanked by her two brothers, Dewfur and Snowpelt.

This couldn't be good. Jayfeather held his breath as both Ambertail and Seedmist unsheathed their claws.

The prophecy had just begun.
