Warriors: The New Era

Prologue
A cold gust of wind struck the lake like an icy claw. No cat had lived to see such a blizzard ever hit the territory so sudden like this. No one knew it was coming; it had been so warm just yesterday.

A dark brown tabby tom with black stripes bounded into his den, growling silently. A bright orange she-cat followed him, carrying two kits in her jaws. After they had gotten safely in the den, the she-cat set the kits down.

The tom glanced at the kits, then turned his gaze to the she-cat. "Squirrelflight," he hissed, "Can't you do something?! Send out patrols and try to find prey! Everyone is starving! We're all going to-"

Squirrelflight lifted her tail and pressed it against the tom's mouth. He sighed as she purred, looking up at him, "Bramblestar, there's nothing we can do. I know you're anxious for this storm to be over, but there will be no prey, and I'm certain of that. We'd die anyway if we were out in the blizzard for more than a minute; we'd freeze our noses off! It would be better if we stayed in here for awhile."

Bramblestar nodded after his mate had released her tail. He stretched, unsheathing his claws and kneading them on the moss that made up his bed. He gave a quick yawn, then sat down, adjusting. The kits that had been brought in were mewling, and Squirrelflight rushed over to them and lay down to let them suckle.

All was quiet until a rustle awoke Bramblestar who was sleeping. Squirrelflight jumped, surprised to find Jayfeather and his newly-made apprentice Dewpaw at the entrance to the den, shivering with cold. Squirrelflight got up, and helped them into the middle of the den where it was the warmest.

"Why are you here?" Bramblestar meowed to them. Jayfeather glanced down at Dewpaw who squeaked, "A sign!" When both cats tilted their head, Jayfeather added, "Dewpaw had a dream. And this blizzard. He believes it's an omen." Dewpaw nodded. "The blizzard," he said, "It's a sign from StarClan. They're telling us that we have to move!"

Bramblestar narrowed his eyes, growling, "We've been at this lake for generations! Why would we leave? There's nothing terrible here!"

"Twolegs!" Dewpaw gasped, "Twolegs are coming! They will destroy this territory like they did with the forest! We have to gather the Clans and move when the storm ends before it's too late! We have to hurry!"

Chapter 1
Mosskit ran outside, purring as the bright sunshine touched and warmed her pelt. What a beautiful day it is! She thought, ''I don't know how the weather changed so quickly! One day it's freezing cold, then the next, it's back to hotness!'' Enjoying the midday sun, she didn't notice her brother (CONTINUED IN DA MORNING! .3.)
