Yeah, I know, this isn't a blog for news and such but I know so much about Night Whispers, I feel like I should share it. :D
Night Whispers SPOILERS!!!
Okay, so the browse inside of Night Whispers went up yesterday, I've read it and it IS completely awesome. But that's not why I'm here. I'm here because there are some wicked amazing awesome spoilers. Some of the things I got off are from searching the name in the search box next to the book, which I found today and is really cool.
...looked at Crowfeather, the cat who made Leafpool betray her clan. Lionblaze would never admit...
Since I only have a snippet of the text I can only assume that Lionblaze forgives Leafpool, somehow. But IDK.
Tigerheart and Dovepaw start sneaking out together!
I'm pretty sure Tigerheart asks to build a nest with Dovepaw when they sneak out, but Dovepaw refuses. I think those mysterious kits in sign of the moon aren't so mysterious anymore. But of course AFTER Dovepaw gets her warrior name ;)
I think Whitewing finds out about Ivypaw!
" The dark forest Warriors were hurting her?" Whitewing poked her head through the ferns "Is... " (doesn't really tell whether she does or not)
" that why there's blood in your nest?" Whitewing was staring at Ivypaw, her eyes dark.
Also there's an epic battle between Lionblaze/Breezepelt/Nightcloud/Leafpool/Crowfeather. Breezepelt is fighting Lionblaze but Leafpool tries to stop him and gets hurt in the process, so Crow attacks Breeze and Night attacks Crow for hurting her son.
And Crow says something like, "You chose your clan, that doesn't mean I didn't love you." Nice fam yeah?
^^ This is automatically my favorite part of the book, because LeafxCrow is my FAVORITE COUPLE OF ALL TIME!
Right in the beginning of the book, Mousewhisker's hunting patrol comes back and drops their prey in the pile. Cherrykit and Molekit notice that there is a squirrel right outside of camp and get it for them, the only thing is, Mousewhisker says no one in the patrol caught a squirrel, which leads me to believe that this was a sick squirrel that is probably not good to eat, or Flametail put death berries in it because he is still really mad at Thunderclan for that battle.
Flametail dies! Well, he actually disappears into the tunnels like Hollyleaf did, but I don't know why.
"Have you seen Tigerheart"
"He's sitting vigil for Flametail" She meweed,"He may not..."
Rushpaw, once a female, is now a tom!
Pinepaw is also often described as a she-cat in some scenes, and a tom in the next :O
Lionblaze does in fact, LOVE CINDERHEART! *gasp* Often times he says that every time he gets up the bravery to ask how she feels about him, she runs away! And since Lionblaze is the only tom with a POV and love interest, I'm assuming that the next line is from him...
But how could he tell her? Their love felt strong, but how could it survive the...
SOME She-cat finds out about the prophecy! Probably Cinderheart, I'm guessing based on the lines above... heres the text.
"A prophecy," She murmured,"About you?" Lionblaze nodded. She understood! "And you'll never get..." Im guessing the last part says hurt, but I won't know until the twenty third!
Okay, it is in fact Cinderheart who finds out, heres more lines...
Would she give his secret away? No! Lionblaze pushed away the worry. Cinderheart hadn't changed,... "
But something tells me Cinderheart doesn't feel comfortable around Lionblaze anymore.
Why had he told her his secret? Why had she believed she would just accept...
Dovepaw finds out the Tigerheart was only using her... :( I think that he is asking her to take herbs from Jayfeather's store, and that she tells him where Jayfeather grows his catmint. I think Blackstar gets his warriors to steal it :(
Littlecloud might die too :( And I think that Jayfeather gets seriously hurt.
a whisper. “Are you thinking of Cinderpelt?” Flametail knew of the close bond between the two medicine cats. Littlecloud's eyes glistened. Flametail leaned closer. "She's dead," he murmured. "Jayfeather is ThunderClan's Medicine Cat now. He’s not Cinderpelt. He’ll want to fight alone if StarClan wishes it.” “Jayfeather can do what he likes!” Littlecloud propped himself up with a groan. “Cinderpelt saved my life once. That act bonded us closer than friends. I will not abandon the Clan she loved until that debt is repaid.”
SANDSTORM MIGHT DIE!
She and Cherrykit have a cough, which I think is green cough, and since Blackstar stole all of their catmint they have nothing!
"How could you?" Dovepaw wailed,"If Sandstorm dies, it'll be your fault!" I assume she's yelling at Tigerheart for stealing their herbs.
Sandstorm was coughing.
Sandstorm started coughing again.
Sandstorm was in the medicine den.

Night Whisper's Spoilers!

Chapter 3
Lionblaze ushered Dovepelt through the sleeping camp, heading directly to the medicine den. Most of Thunderclan were asleep under the stars tonight, despite the leaf bare winds that sent chills down his spine. Cinderheart was alone in the forest somewhere, cold and alone. He pressed on.
"Where are we going?" Dovepelt whispered. Lionblaze turned his head, but kept walking.
"To the medicine tunnel," He clarified quietly. He turned his head back, just in time to move out of the way of his mother, Leafpool.
"Careful, Leafpool is right in front-" Lionblaze began to say before Leafpool interrupted him.
"Where are you two going?" She hissed tiredly. Lionblaze whipped around to face the two she-cats.
"Er, the medicine den," Dovepelt peeped. Leafpool narrowed her eyes.
"For what? I'm sure Jayfeather is tired and can deal with you two in the morning," Leafpool grunted.
"It's urgent." Lionblaze felt his claws slide out of their sheathe out of desperation.
"What is so urgent it can't wait until morning?" The brown tabby queen mumbled.
"Its, er, three stuff," Lionblaze lied quickly.
"Three? What three," Leafpool murmured, her eyes beginning to flutter. Then she sat straight up,"Oh, you three. You, Jayfeather and Dovepelt, well go ahead," Leafpool moved aside, dipping her head in respect. Lionblaze rolled his eyes as they passed her, that had taken valuable time away from them. Quickly and quietly they pushed past the ivy that clung to the rocks. A few cats were sleeping in balls of moss. A stocky gray tabby was moving through the den quietly checking on the injured cats.
"...she needs comfrey, but I can...tomorrow..." Jayfeather yawned, sniffing Pebble drowsily. He sauntered over to his den, behind the crevice in the walls. Before his tail disappeared behind the lichen, Lionblaze turned and nodded at Dovepelt.
"Now,"
Lionblaze and Dovepelt crept in, their pelts brushing silently. Jayfeather whipped around suddenly.
"What do you two want?"
"We need to use the tunnel," Lionblaze hissed.
"What for?"
"Cinderheart is missing,"
Jayfeather opened his mouth, then clamped it shut. His eyes were worried, and his tail twitched irritably. His paws scraped the floor, his eyes in deep thought.
"Um... Jayfeather?" Dovepelt murmured.
Jayfeather looked back at them,"Go ahead, use the tunnel and find Cinderheart," His eyes were strangely clear and full of sympathy.
"Alright," Lionblaze murmured,"We'll be back before sunhigh. If anyone asks, we're out hunting," Lionblaze nodded to his brother, trusting him to keep this quiet for now.
"Lead me to the tunnel, I've only been through it once, remember?" Lionblaze gestured to Dovepelt. The gray she-cat nodded and led him passed the tunnel of ferns and vanished behind a crack in the rocks where Jayfeather kept herbs. Lionblaze followed silently behind her. It was almost pitch black in here, except for the sliver of moonlight that could be seen. Dovepelt edged her way to the back of the chamber and vanished behind long flowing lichen. Lionblaze pushed past the lichen and followed after her. Wisps of fresh air flowed down the tunnel. Lionblaze took a step forward, feeling the tunnel walls with his whiskers. The tunnel closed around him, Dovepelt was already a fox length ahead of him. Lionblaze padded ahead faster until he could feel Dovepelt's tail a mouse length in front of him. Suddenly, the path took a turn and opened up into the forest. Dovepelt ducked out of the entrance momentarily, then poked her head back in.
"Come on then," Dovepelt puffed. Lionblaze grunted and heaved his chest through the hole. Lionblaze could scent the faint scent of badger, it must have been an old set.
"Where should we look first?" Lionblaze asked, unsheathing his claws into the moist dirt.
"I think we should start by the camp entrance, that would be the best place to find her scent," Dovepelt blinked. Lionblaze nodded, setting their course towards the front of camp. They were near the Windclan border, or what was the the Windclan border, the scent markers where long gone.
"We'll need to go fast if we want to find her before sunrise," Dovepelt murmured. Lionblaze blinked thoughtfully, Dovepelt was no longer the nervous apprentice he always thought of her, she was a strong confident she-cat with a family of her own.
"Lionblaze?"
"Let's go," Lionblaze started sprinting through the trees, his tail streaming out behind him. Dovepelt was sprinting at his side, her chest heaving with effort. Trees vanished behind them and soon the hollow was in front of them. Lionblaze skidded to a halt.
"Ssh," Lionblaze warned. He stepped forward and began searching for any snippet of his mate's warm scent, but the sleet had washed most of it away.
"Hey Lionblaze, I think I found something," Lionblaze turned around, Dovepelt's nose was pressed against a large thorn bush. Lionblaze rushed over to see what she was talking about.
"Here," She stepped aside, a large tuft of gray fur was stuck on the thorns. Lionblaze pressed his nose against it excitedly, breathing in the scent.
"That's definitely Cinderheart," Lionblaze murmured. Dovepelt grinned weakly.
"Then we should go this way," Dovepelt gestured her tail through the brambles. Lionblaze frowned, why had Cinderheart made such a hasty retreat through thorns?
Lionblaze carefully pulled a branch back and allowed Dovepelt to pass him, then stepped in after her. He flicked his ears down to avoid getting caught on the over hanging brambles.
"Can you hear her?" Lionblaze asked, flicking dew off his whiskers.
"I can only see her running," Dovepelt mewed back. Lionblaze frowned again, where was his mate going?
"Ouch," Dovepelt grimaced, pulling her sore pad up from the ground. A large thorn was stuck in her foot.
"Here, let me try," Lionblaze moved around to her side. Dovepelt held her paw up patiently as Lionblaze bit onto the thorn and gave it a big tug. Blood started to trickle slowly down Dovepelt's paw. Lionblaze gave it a few gentle licks.
"Thanks, where d'ya learn that?" Dovepelt murmured, sucking on her paw. Lionblaze shrugged.
"Guess I picked it up from Jayfeather," Lionblaze murmured, itching to get going. Dovepelt stood uneasily on three paws, then steadily put weight on her fourth.
"I'm fine, let's keep going," The pair pressed on, searching for any signs of the missing she-cat. Lionblaze saw a few more strands of fur stuck on the thorns.He took a few more pawsteps and gasped. Dovepelt turned around.
"What is it?" Dovepelt cocked her head. Lionblaze looked down, scarlet blood trickled off thorns and onto the forest floor.
"She probably just snagged her fur on the thorns," Dovepelt murmured, coming closer and pressing her fur against his. Lionblaze studied it closely, was Cinderheart hurt? He looked up and gazed into Dovepelt's eyes, there was no fear, just warm determination, the same as Lionblaze's. He was prepared to fight a whole tribe of badgers for his mate. He started to trot through the bushes, then gradually gained speed until he was running through the brambles.
Dovepelt called up to him,"We're getting closer! I can feel it!" Lionblaze looked up to the sky, the first rays of light were streaking up the sky. He ran faster until her came to small slope in the ground. The ferns here were flattened down and still warm.
"She was here, only a few moments ago," Lionblaze murmured, sniffing the make-shift nest, which was full of Cinderheart's fear scent.
"She must have heard us running and thought someone was after her," Dovepelt murmured,"Which means she couldn't of gotten very far. Come on, we can still catch up with her!" Dovepelt sped past Lionblaze. Lionblaze paused to make sure they were heading in the right direction, which they were, and ran after her. The path was full of Cinderheart;s fear scent and it as easy to stay on path. Lionblaze quickly caught up with Dovepelt, the gray she-cat was running full speed, the scent trail getting fresher and fresher. Lionblaze grew more anxious for his mate. Finally, the brambles died away and the forest opened up into a meadow, they were near the Shadowclan border. Lionblaze stopped quickly, gazing across the meadow. On the other side was a medium sized gray tabby she-cat, her tail fluffed up twice its size and her eyes blazing with fear and anger.
"Get away from me!" Cinderheart hissed, clawing at the slippery tufts of grass. Lionblaze took a step forward,"Get back! Or I'll get all of Thunderclan on you!" Cinderheart's ears twitched. Lionblaze looked back at Dovepelt, confused.
"Cinderheart, we are Thunderclan. It's me, Lionblaze." Lionblaze called across the clearing.
Cinderheart's eyes were cloudy with confusion,"There is no Lionblaze in Thunderclan!" Her eyes were full of pain and frustration.
"Cinderheart, you, Dovepelt, and I are all Thunderclan warriors!" Lionblaze pleaded.
Cinderheart shook her head,"I am Thunderclan's medicine cat!" Lionblaze looked again at Dovepelt,"And Leafpool is my apprentice! What have you done with her?"
"Leafpool is back at the hollow," Lionblaze called out.
Cinderheart looked back more confused then ever. Lionblaze was even more confused,"Cinderheart-"
"My name is Cinderpelt!" Cinderheart yowled.
"Alright," Lionblaze blinked,"Cinderpelt, Jayfeather is our medicine cat now, Cinderpelt died before all of us were born. You are Cinderheart,"
"Impossible!" Cinderheart screeched. Lionblaze took a few more steps forward.
"Stay back I said!" Cinderheart looked back up and yowled furiously.
Dovepelt approached him from behind,"Just play along with it," Lionblaze flicked his ears in agreement.
"Cinderpelt, please you have to come back to camp," Dovepelt yelled across the meadow. Cinderheart didn't seem to notice Dovepelt before.
"Why?" Cinderheart narrowed her eyes.
Dovepelt leaned over to whisper in Lionblaze's ear,"How did Cinderpelt die?"
"Badger attack,"
"Badgers are attacking the camp!" Dovepelt yowled, forcing her fur to stick out at all ends to make it look like she was terrified. Lionblaze did the same.
For a moment, Cinderheart's eyes cleared up,"Alright, lets go," She made her way to the pair, but strangely she didn't put all her weight on one of her hind legs. She nodded to Dovepelt, and glared angrily at Lionblaze.
"What clan are you from?" Cinderheart murmured to Dovepelt. Dovepelt looked up at Lionblaze, alarmed. Lionblaze shrugged.
"Er, Riverclan," Dovepelt mewed quickly. Cinderheart nodded.
"What's your name?" Cinderheart murmured, trying to go faster to reach the "badger infested" clan.
"Her name is Dawnflower," Lionblaze mewed, remembering the light gray queen that died in the first battle with the Dark Forest.
"Ah yes, I remember you from the gatherings, how is Leopardstar?" Cinderheart murmured. Leopardstar had died many seasons ago, when Dovepelt was an apprentice.
"Good," Dovepelt answered flatly.
"Say, why has a Riverclan cat come to find the Thunderclan medicine cat?" Cinderheart stopped, her fur rising.
"Because..." Dovepelt opened her mouth uneasily, glancing at Lionblaze.
"Because the badgers attacked Riverclan as well!" Lionblaze chimed in. Dovepelt nodded furiously. Cinderheart narrowed her eyes at the pair, limped forward and started walking at a brisk pace again. Lionblaze and Dovepelt dropped behind her and cast nervous glances at each other.
"What happened to her? Why does she think she is a dead cat?" Lionblaze mewed worriedly.
"Maybe she hit her head in the battle and got confused. She does have the same name as the cat," Dovepelt murmured. Lionblaze wasn't so sure, something else was going on here.

Chapter 2
Dovepelt's bones ached. She felt like collapsing into the mud covered ground. Her kits squirming around her, blood oozing between their torn claws and torn ears.
"Are they all gone?" Honeykit wailed. Dovepelt poked her head out of the old apprentices' den where she and her kits sheltered through the worst of the fighting. No one was stirring.
"Yes," She murmured, stepping out and looking around for anyone. She saw movement and carefully picked her way over the dead cats. Lionblaze was nosing through the bodies.
"What are you doing?" Dovepelt tilted her head sideways. Lionblaze looked up, his eyes swollen and blood shot with grief.
"I can't find Cinderheart," He croaked. Dovepelt flinched, where was the gray she-cat? She had seen her fighting a large white tom during the battle, then she looked away for a moment and when she looked back, Cinderheart was gone!
"Watch them," Dovepelt left her kits with Lionblaze, as she began searching for the gentle she-cat. Dovepelt cast out her senses, trying to pick up any trace of Cinderheart's scent. But the only thing she could see was Cinderheart's tail running through the forest, and every time Dovepelt tried to catch up, Cinderheart sped up.
Dovepelt sulked back over to Lionblaze,"I think she's somewhere in the forest,"
"Lionblaze, Dovepelt, good your both... alive," Bramblestar mewed uncomfortably, coming up from Dovepelt's side. " I need you two to help move these cats out of the camp, Snakerock and Bumblestripe can help you," He looked at Dovepelt's injured kits,"I'll take them to Willowshine and Jayfeather now," He gathered the litter carefully and escorted them to the medicine den. Dovepelt watched them go before turning back to Lionblaze.
"Right, let's get started. Bumblestripe! Snakerock! Can you two help us over here?" Dovepelt called over the two toms who were busy handing herbs to WIllowshine. They both looked up and padded over.
"Yeah?" Bumblestripe mewed glumly.
"Bramblestar said we're going to bury the bodies outside of camp," Dovepelt explained.
"Wouldn't it be easier tomorrow when the sleet stops? My paws feel like they're going to fall off!" Snakerock complained.
"I don't know about you, but I don't want all these bodies stinking up the camp, plus we're having the vigils for our clanmates tonight," Lionblaze reminded the younger warrior.
"You two work on that half of the camp," Dovepelt pointed towards the nursery,"And we'll do this side,"
"Sounds good to me," Bumblestripe commented groggily. Snakerock followed him through the maze of bodies.
"Let's get this over with so I can go and find Cinderheart," Lionblaze grunted as he dragged a small tabby she-cat out of the camp. Her eyes were still open, looking forever. Dovepelt flinched, they reminded her of Ivyshade's dark blue eyes. She could still remember when she last saw her sister.
Starclan were leaving, their pelts fading into the darkness when Dovepelt remembered her sister.
"Wait!" She had hollered. The last of the cats were dissapearing, the only one that stood clearly was a large brown tom.
The brown tom blinked. He opened his mouth to speak, but his jaw was deformed and his pelt was fading from sight.
"Please! Wait! What about my sister?" Dovepelt pleaded at the paws of the tom. He merely looked down at her worriedly, he cast nervous glances at the sky.
"Dovepelt," Ivyshade's emotion filled mew made Dovepelt turn around.
"Ivyshade what are you going to do? Could you stay here with us?" Dovepelt searched her sister's eyes. But Ivyshade shook her head.
"No, Dovepelt, I'm dead, I could have never stayed here. My place is the Dark Forest," Her eyes clouded with grief.
"But you helped us in the end!" Dovepelt pointed out.
"But I killed Sandstorm for my own success, I could never see her again in Starclan," Ivyshade whispered wearily, studying her paws for a moment before returning Dovepelt's intense gaze.
"B-but..."
"Maybe I'll see you again one day," Ivyshade smiled weakly,"No, no you will never see me again, and I hope you never have to walk the forests of the Place of No Stars."
"I'll never forget about you," Dovepelt nuzzled her sister gently,"And my kits will be told of the great things you did," Dovepelt closed her eyes, breathing in her sister's warm scent before it was replaced with the scent of night. When she opened her eyes, her sister was gone, but she could still feel her sister's gentle gaze watching her.
"Dovepelt? Are you going to help or not?" Lionblaze grunted, waving his tail in front of her face.
"Huh- er- yes," Dovepelt murmured weakly, grabbing the scruff of the cat they were carrying out of the camp.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Starclan honors the bravery of Toadclaw, he was a brave young warrior," Bramblestar howled from the Highledge as the cats gathered around his body. Dovepelt was looking up at the stars shining brightly in the sky.
"We also honor Thornclaw who was old enough to be an elder, but decided to give the last moons of his life serving the clans, he truly was one of the hardest working warriors Thunderclan had ever seen," The cats in the clearing murmured their agreement, their wounds patched up for tonight.
"The Tribe would like to honor Screech and to thank the Tribe of Endless Hunting for sparing the lives of the majority of us," He glanced wearily down to Jayfeather, who was standing at the entrance of the Medicine den where the most severely injured cats were busy healing. Dovepelt remembered seeing Pebble, a pale she-cat, getting lifted into the medicine den with a horrific neck wound.
"Thankfully Shadowclan has not lost any cats today," Rowanstar mewed. Mistystar nodded in agreement, the clans with the least amount of warriors were spared, with the exception of Windclan, who lost Nightcloud and Harewhisker.
Dovepelt shifted her attention to the strange black and white skinny tom also standing on the Highledge.
"Who is that?" Dovepelt leaned over and whispered into Willowshine's ear.
"I don't know, maybe the Skyclan deputy?" Willowshine murmured back.
"For those of you who don't know me," A ginger she-cat stepped forward,"I am Leafstar, leader of Skyclan. Firestar found us many moons ago, when all but one cat had forgotten about Skyclan, and put us back together with the help of Sandstorm,"
"Oh yes, I remember Firestar leaving for a few moons when I was just a young apprentice," Bramblestar interrupted.
"Yes, and I would like to honor our fallen warrior, Rockfur, and one of our apprentices, Waterpaw. Both shall be honored in Starclan tonight." The whole world seemed to go silent for a few heartbeats to allow the dead cats to find their way to their warrior ancestors. Finally, one cat asked the question Dovepelt had be asking herself.
"Who is he?" The cat called up the skinny black and white tom. The tom's eyes looked up, he approached the edge of the highledge carefully.
"I am Tinder, I am the leader of a band of cats.We found Skyclan when they were traveling here. Would the cats in the group please call their names?" He prompted his cats.
A large black tom with gray stripes stepped out from behind Dovepelt,"I am Raccoon,"
"My name is Cristy," A small bracken colored she-cat stepped out from behind him. She smelled slightly of Kittypet, Dovepelt curled her lip in disgust for a moment.
"My mate's name is Sarah, she is over there next to the large golden tabby," Tinder pointed to Lionblaze, and next to him a tawny she-cat the resembled Tawnypelt slightly.
"I am Ghost," A pure white tom stepped out of the shadows, his amber eyes glinting in the moonlight, Dovepelt shuddered, he was an eerie sight.
Dovepelt looked around for more unfamiliar faces, she could see an old she-cat with dazzling blue eyes, reminding her of ice.
"Wait, I know you," Bramblestar stepped forward, squinting his eyes at the she-cat.
"Yes," The she-cat coughed,"Yes you do. I am Sasha, Hawkfrost's mother," Dovepelt gasped. Thats who's eyes reminded her of ice! Hawkfrost! Now that she thought about it, Mothwing's pelt reminded her of Sasha's!
"Well, er, welcome to the clans," Bramblestar mewed uncomfortably.
A jet black tom stepped forward confidently,"I am Twilight," His blue eyes glinted warmly in the darkness. Dovepelt turned and saw Jayfeather's ears perk at Twilgith's voice. She shifted her paws uncomfortably. The sleet had stopped, but the wind still chilled through Dovepelt's fur.
The leaders and Timber made their way down the highledge. Dovepelt joined the crowd around Thornclaw's and Frogclaw's bodies, breathed in their scent for the last time before making her way to the old warriors' den. She decided she would be needed for hunting tomorrow so she would need a good nights rest.
Dovepelt pushed through the brambles and looked in. All the nests were taken, most of them were from the other clans or tribe too! Dovepelt hissed quietly and lashed her tail, she would have to sleep out in the open tonight. She backed out and bumped into another cat. She turned around, Lionblaze was on his rear.
"Oof!" Lionblaze grunted as he picked himself up.
"Sorry, the den is full," Dovepelt murmured.
"Is Cinderheart in there?" Lionblaze mewed worriedly.
"You haven't found her yet?" Dovepelt's eyes widened in shock. Lionblaze shook his head. Dovepelt searched through the forest with her senses, but again she could only catch glimpses of the gray she-cat.
"Where could she be?" Lionblaze murmured. Dovepelt brightened.
"Lets find her," Dovepelt blinked.
"What? Now?" Lionblaze eyes shimmered.
"Yes now! What better time then now, if we wait any longer..." She trailed off. Lionblaze's eyes darkened.
"Alright, lets go," Lionblaze grunted,

Chapter 1
The dark pelted cats ran from the clearing, only a few larger assailants fought for their lives. Lionblaze panted heavily. Blood trickled slowly from his shoulder, but that was his only wound, which was from falling onto a sharp stone. His heart pounded as he launched himself at his rival, Hawkfrost, Bramblestar's half brother. He raked his claws down the dark tabby's side, warm blood landing on the rocks. Sleet poured down from the sky, the day had fallen under the clouds punishment as it covered the sun completely, sending dark shadows everywhere in the camp's clearing. He grappled with Hawkfrost for a few moments before shouldering his face into the mud.
"Jayfeather!" Lionblaze mewed horsely, hoping his blinded brother could hear him through the storm. His saw his brother's gray tabby head poke out of a crevice in the stone. Hawkfrost's paws scratched at his fur, but his hits were clumsy with pain.
"Jayfeather! Over here!" Lionblaze called again. Jayfeather rushed over to his brother.
"What's wrong?" Jayfeather murmured.
"Get off me you coward!" Hawkfrost rasped.
"Oh, I see. Do as you did to Tigerstar, and make it quick!" Jayfeather snapped as sleet hit him on the face. Lionblaze nodded and swatted Hawkfrost's tabby paws away as he bit down onto the back of his neck. Hawkfrost screeched in the mud as Lionblaze severed his spine. His head jerked as Lionblaze recited the phrases he did before, but to Tigerstar, Hawkfrost's father.
Hawkfrost's body lay in the mud, rain and snow spattered his fur in odd angles, making his body look distorted and malformed.
Lionblaze looked around, there were no more Dark Forest cats in the clearing. They had won. But Lionblaze could not celebrate now, he needed to find Cinderheart and his kits. Carefully, he stepped over the bodies and called out his mate's name.
"Cinderheart?" His mind fluttered worriedly. Where is she?
"Mountainpaw?" He called his son's name. He saw his son flopped on the ground near the old elders' den. His hind leg was splayed awkwardly to one side and his ear was torn.
"Mountainpaw!" He rushed over as the black and ginger tabby weakly raised his head.
"Lionblaze?" Mountainpaw squeaked.
"Yes, Mountainpaw, it's me. Where's your mother and sister?" he murmured, gently licking his son's head. Mountainpaw grunted, moved his body slowly, and pushed aside a branch. Leopardkit was lying nestled between twigs and brambles.
"Leopardkit," he sighed. She raised her delicate face and drew her tongue over his nose.
"Where's your mother?" He mewed urgently to Mountainpaw.
"I don't know," Mountainpaw flopped back onto the muddy floor. "Last time I saw her she was by the highledge...:" Mountainpaw's eyes fluttered as he drifted in unconsciousness.
"Help!" Lionblaze looked around for Willowshine or Jayfeather, anyone that could help his son. he saw Willowshine tending to a cat's shoulder.
"Willowshine, help Mountainpaw!" The golden tabby tom called the gray she-cat over. Willowshine looked up, murmured something into the cat's ear and hustled over to Lionblaze.
"What was that, I didn't catch the last part," Willowshine mewed briskly. Lionblaze stepped aside to give Willowshine a view of his son.
"Oh my, Help me get him to the medicine den." Willowshine's eyes widened in grief as she lifted Mountainpaw's head. Lionblaze took gripped his son's fur in his teeth, his eyes stinging with the bitter sleet that still poured down from the clouds in the sky.
"Have you seen Cinderheart?" Lionblaze huffed. Willowshine shook her head. Lionblaze grimaced, where was his mate? If anything had happened to her, he would tear out the throat of whoever did this.
Yeah, I know it's short, but it's more of a filler for an exciting part that comes up. YAY! :D And yay, new book and stuff. Well, hope you continue to read, I'll really enjoy your comments.

Prologue
Gray mist swirled around the trees as cats stepped out of the shadows. Leaves flickered throughout the trees and ferns rustled. Prey lay hidden in their borrows and leaf matter lay thick on the forest floor. Moonlight cast dim shadows over the scene. The cats' limbs were swollen and bloody. Some were limping and supported by others' shoulders.
