Chapter 1
The marsh fog surrounded the young brown tabby crouching near a pale ginger warrrior. Many cats crouched at the brink of the marshy pines, looking into the flowing, green moor. An earsplitting yowl echoed in the forest, cutting the silence out of the air. It sent out a flood of cats out of the thick under brush.

They dashed into the heather-filled territory. Their paws lashing out on the ground as they ran. The cats tore into camp ripping up the heather packed dens as the sound of terrfied kits and queens that were awoken by the invasion. The warriors of WindClan leapt to the defense of their precious clan.

The brown tabby locked himself into battle with a young apprentice, baffling him with erratic blows to his face and shoulders. He sliced deep into the young she-cats ear sending her running away in terror.

Snakepaw stood over the leader for a second, then delivered a killing bite.

"WindClan Retreat!" Dawnfrost, the WindClan deputy, yowled.

Cheers from the ShadowClan warriors filled the dawn air, they had just one half the territory. Shadow clan set their markers and went back to camp.
