Shadowclan's Dilemma

Prologue
Willowwhisper smiled as her 3 kits, Littlekit, Frostkit, and Swiftkit, pranced around her and Mistfur. "Now, little ones," she said gently, "You know not to bother Mistfur while she's sleeping."

"But Willowwhisper!" Littlekit whined, "We're not bothering her!"

"It's fine, Willowwhisper." The old nursery queen said, "I can deal with them." Frostkit and Swiftkit pounced on her while Littlekit nibbled her tail.

"Oh, but Mistfur, your kits have just finished playing! You need the rest, your getting-" Willowwhisper stopped herself before the last word could come out.

"Old?" Mistfur asked, "Well, I have to agree with you. My bones can't take much more of this. I'll be retiring to the elders den soon." she sighed. Willowwhisper's kits looked at Mistfur sadly. They all knew that Mistfur was old, but it was hard to see her leave. Mistfur's kits would be leaving for the apprentice den soon, and after that they would be the only cats in the nursery.

"Its time to take a nap sweet kits." Willowwhisper said quietly. Surprisingly, her kits obeyed without a word. As they settled down into the fresh moss, Willowwhisper heard a rustling sound, very faint but different from anything she had ever heard before. She stood up and went outside of the den to find out what it was. At first, all Willowwhisper saw was her clanmates, all sharing tongues and eating. But when she looked closer, she could see misty shadows weaving around the cats. Suddenly, the shadows disappeared. All cats stopped talking. They turned around and looked at her, and started whispering in unison. Their eyes were glowing red. Willowwhisper backed up, and the whispering got louder. ''kill the traitor. Kill the traitor'' it said. She ran back to the nursery to protect her kits, and found the rest of her clanmates following her. The whispering had grown to a loud yell. She backed up against the nursery wall, her kits cowering in fear behind her, and watched in terror as the cats closed in on her.
