PROLOGUE
It was completely dark. The medicine den was filled with the sweet, tangy scent of herbs- and inside, two cats slept, blanketed in the soft darkness of the night.
Outside, crickets chirped gently, and the heather fronds whispered to one another soothingly. The crescent moon shone in the deep blue, and stars glittered, scattered across the wide, night sky. A slight breeze rustled through the heather, tickling the cats' fur and sweeping gently across the moor. Wisps of silvery clouds were painted across the sky like a work of art. The moonlight bleached the grasses, turning it a beautiful silver color. A gentle creek could be heard, the water rushing soothingly across the slick and slippery rocks. Further away, the lake shone with the reflections of the stars, as dark as the night sky. Ripples were sent out to the pebbly shore, gently rushing back and forth.
Back inside the den, the cats' flanks rose evenly, and occasional coughs rose from both of them. They sank into their nests as they slept, comfortable among the soft sand and moss.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of the den, sending a shadow over the two sleeping cats.
"Spottedrain." The voice hissed. "You have to die!"
A screech broke the silence of the night, and there was the sound of pawsteps racing away.
Swiftflight was jolted into wakefulness- and her eyes widened at the horrifying sight next to her. She let out a yowl of terror, scrambling back. What could've happened?!
