3. Chapter 1

Chapter One - Gone

A beautiful orange and red she-cat walked into the clearing under the night sky, in the middle of the Airclan camp. She had a glint or worry in her eyes, as she was very troubled.

A thin, but muscular tom followed her out and drooped a vole at her paws.

"What's wrong, BrightStar?" the tom asked.

"I'm worried about our kits, LongFur. What if BlackFeather returns and tries to take them as his own?" she asked.

"That's not going to happen. They may be his kits by blood, but he will never be a father to them after what he has done. Not while I'm here, or the clan for that matter." he replied soothingly and rubbed against her.

"What's that? I hear something," she started to scent the air for danger. "The kits!" she yowled.

BrightStar then ran towards the nursery as swift as her legs could carry her. LongFur followed her as she desperately ran towards her helpless kits.

When BrightStar arrived at the front of the nursery, there was the sent of blood.

Her sister, MossStar, and the warrior, SwiftTalon, walked into the camp panting. MossStar was limping and had a patch of fur missing from her shoulder. SwiftTalon looked okay physically, but he looked around the clearing in despair.

All the other warriors in camp sat outside their dens in shock, just now realizing they had been attacked.

BrightStar began to yell for her kits. Two little bundles of fluff come tumbling out of the nursery, looking scared and exhausted.

"Oh, thank Starclan you are safe," BrightStar sighed. "Wait, Twig, Leaf…Where is Feather?" asked BrightStar in alarm.

"I'm so sorry!" cried MossStar. "We tried to save them all but, they took Feather while we ran after the lot who stole these two. It's all my fault. I should've stayed and guarded the nursery with SwiftTalon." MossStar hung her head low in shame and sorrow.

LongFur looked at MossStar and talked with compassion in his voice. "It's not your fault, MossStar. You were checking the border for intruders with Moth. You and SwiftTalon both did your best in saving the last two kits." LongFur finished as he glances with a doleful expression at his depressed mate.
