*~*~*Hidden in the darkness. Stalking through the shadows. Waiting to strike. Beware the Crimson Moon. For Death is in its heart*~*~*

A flash of light lit up the dark forest, bouncing off the wet leaves that littered the ground and filling the whole forest in light that so rarely graced it. Cats hidden in the shadows let out hisses of disgust as their eyes were burnt by the sudden light. A roar of thunder followed and then all was silent. But the cats who cowered in the shadows could sense the arrival of new souls to their dark ranks. And it pleased them.

The Callers led their contestants through the dank forest, not bothering to explain anything to them. "Where are we?" Berrypaw whispered.

Brokenstar didn't even turn to face her, "You are in the Place of No Stars now. And we are taking you to the High Stars."

"Who are the High Stars?" Wildstorm asked quietly.

"The ones who rule over all of us. Now be quiet!" Brokenstar ordered. The group fell into silence, just like all the others as they drew closer to a whole new kind of nightmare. Their breath billowed out in front of them, curling around their muzzles like vines and leaving a strange taste in their mouths. Panic rose up their throats like bile, threatening to choke them. Eyes belong to strange cats that they did not know stared at them hungrily through the shadows, knowing that more than one of their souls would belong to them at the end of the games. They let out mocking hisses as the contestants past their shady hiding spots, adding to the hysteria that already plagued the livings mind.

A voice rose up over the low, howling wind. One that all recognised from previous Games, "Make yourselves presentable!" Tigerstar yowled. "For the High Stars wish to see the best side of you all."

Galesong self consciously drew her tongue over her shoulder, flattening a piece of fur that had been sticking out at an odd angle. Badgerstrike cut away a thin line of fur on his flank to reveal a scar that seemed to have been inflicted by a monster. He wanted the other contestants to shake with fear when they first saw him.

As the contestants cleaned themselves, preened themselves and let old scares show through their fur, their callers stared off through the forest all thinking the same thing. They have no idea what they are in for. A deep roar suddenly echoed through the dark forest making Screech jump.

"Come forth and meet us." The voice sounded feminine but held such power that it sent shivers down the contestant's spines. It was loud yet quiet at the same time. It sounded like the voice of a ghost. A ghost that was neither dead nor living.

The Callers padded forward flicking their tails to summon their contestant's. "W-w-what was that?" Shadepaw whimpered.

Hawkfrost looked down at the shaking apprentice with cold eyes. "The High Stars are prepared to meet you. And when they call you must go."

Shadepaw felt his blood run ice cold at the dead warrior's words. This was not what he expected at all. The living followed the dead through the forest until the tree's ended and were replaced by spring grass. As the groups came out of the trees they saw each other for the first time. For some their first thought towards the others was distrust, hatred, rage and fear. But for others it was recognition, sadness. However there was one who looked upon a certain red and white patched apprentice with shock and a strange feeling. Screech felt his muscles seize up as he watched the patched she-cat step out of the trees. She was beautiful.

"It is good to meet the cats we have chosen in person." The contestants looked up in surprise and were even more shocked by what they saw. Four cats sat on four separate slabs of stone that looked so out of place in the dark forest. Two she-cats and two toms, each radiating with different power. A flawless silver tabby she-cat leaned forward, her green eyes glowing in the sickly light. "Step forward one by one and tell us your names."

Galesong took a deep breath and stepped forward. Even she looked ugly compared to the silver she-cat. "I am Galesong of WaveClan."

"My name is Nightfall and I am from WaveClan," Nightfall stepped forward to join Galesong knowing that they needed to impress the High Stars. Perhaps showing a united front might help.

"Are you two mates?" a midnight black tom whispered. Nightfall hunched over slightly.

"No. My mate is Songbird."

The tom dipped his head but said no more. Thorntail flicked his ears in nervousness, "I am Thorntail and my Clan is SnowClan." He looked over at Shadepaw and nudged the small apprentice forward.

"I-I am Shadepaw from SnowClan," he stammered. None of the High Stars said anything. The rest of the contestants stepped forward eventually and said their names. The High Stars occasionally asked questions but most of the time they simply nodded. Finally all four of them arose from their seats.

The silver tabby was the first to speak. "My name is Iceshard. It is an honour to have you here among us. We hope that the training you receive helps you when you are placed in the Game."

"I am known as Eternity," the midnight black tom hissed. "We expect you to respect us with all you have. Respect us more than you would your leaders."

"Settingsun is my name. All you have to do is ask and we will answer your questions as much as we can," a light wind ruffled the she-cats orange fur. Her fur seemed to fade towards the bottom of her body, making it look like a sunset.

The final tom raised his head, a strange black mist curling around his body. His eyes flickered open and Berrypaw let out a strangled gasp. They were a brilliant blue but they stared aimlessly off into the distance. He was blind. But what he said next rained fear down on the contestants. "I am Death."

Wee cliffhanger!

I don't have much to say after that but if you have any questions ask them in reviews!

Oh and also I am still looking for 9 male and 2 female voices! Mossshine has already given me hers :)

Anyways! Till next update!
