Prologue
Leopardstar was sitting on the rock, watching her Clan below her. Her father, Mudfur, looked worried. She bounded down and padded towards him. "What is it?" she asked.

"I haven't seen Mistyfoot and Stonefur for a while! Where do you think they could be?" the mottled tom asked.

Leopardstar suddenly noticed her deputy and his sister were missing. "When were they last seen?" she asked.

The old cat shrugged. "I don't know."

Just then, Blackclaw yowled, "Stonefur and Mistyfoot are here!"

Leopardstar turned to see the two grey cats at the entrance of the camp, both drenched. She ran towards them to meet them. "What happened?" she asked.

"Well..." Stonefur meowed, casting a sidelong glance at his sister, "There's something we need to tell you. Is it okay to speak with you in private?"

Leopardstar nodded. ''What's this about? ''"Let's go."

When they got to her den, Leopardstar sat down, motioning for the others to do the same. "What do you need?" she asked.
