What Hides In The Shadows

by Whimzee

In the Clans' dark past, trouble is brewing in ShadowClan. An unknown killer is picking off cats one by one. With motivations and secrets of their own, three young cats set out on a mission to find them. But unforeseen obstacles stand in their way, and suddenly, the fight for justice becomes a fight for their lives. (Rated K for mild violence/blood.)

*You may have noticed this, but if not, I tried to use only prefixes not used in the story. If you notice ones used in the story, please let me know.

**This story is set in the distant past of the Clans- before SkyClan returned, after it was banished- and so, SkyClan is not in this story at all.
