Second Chances



Prologue-Bluestar

I walked through my hunting grounds,greeting cats as I went by. I soon reached the edge and went through the StarClan barrier between my hunting grounds and the Dark Forest. Walking through,I knew that what I was looking for lay beyond StarClan and the Dark Forest. After walking for what felt like seasons,I came across crow-black-as far as I could see,with nothing else in sight. Instantly I knew that I was ever closer to what I was looking for.

Swiftly I trotted through,straining my ears. After a while,I heard voices. Ice-cold voices. All of them arguing,but I was still too far to make out the words. As I padded closer,I caught snatches of the debate.

"I still don't know why we're here,"snarled a voice. Tigerstar's,I think.

Another voice. Just as cold."Shut up,or I'll kill you for a third time". Scourge's,I was sure.

More voices,too far for me to hear. But when I trotted closer,I spotted them. Huddled together,the made no effort to conceal themselves.

''Why? Because there's nothing around to attack them'' I thought.

I saw them pick their ears as I came closer,then stopped. One by one they turned to star at me. I met Their gazes calmly:green,amber,blue,and amber met my determined gaze. Finally the tortoiseshell-Mapleshade-spoke-or rather snarled.
