Prologue
“Sorrelstar!”

A tall ginger tom meowed to a pale ginger she-cat.

“Who… who are you?” Sorrelstar asked.

“I am Tallstar - an ancient leader of WindClan.”

“Am I in StarClan? Have I… died?” Sorrelstar asked Tallstar.

“Yes, you’re in StarClan. But of course you’re not dead! Anyway, I have a prophecy for you. The Sand and Brightness shall come and save the Wind from being enslaved, and once again, the River shall betray their alliance. However, the Cloud must not take shadow or all will be lost.”

“Oh. Can you tell me what that means Tallstar?”

“I would Sorrelstar, but I don’t know what it means either. You can ask Tinyblossom to help you figure it out.”

“Alright then.”

Tinyblossom, the medicine cat was skilled in interpreting StarClan’s vague prophecies.

“Well anyway, I must be going now. Goodbye”

And with that, Tallstar leaped down a hill and Sorrelstar fell into a deep sleep.

Chapter 1
Sandy woke with a start.

“Sandy! Can we go outside and play? I’m always so bored and hungry!”

“Bright! I’m asleep! Can’t you leave me alone for a second.

Here we go again, with Bright trying to get me up at the first light.

“Sandy, you’re my brother! Please can we do something?”

“Okay, fine, but let’s see if we can get anything to eat first.”

The twolegs that Sandy and Bright lived with would rarely give them food, and when they did have food is was always disgusting.

A female twoleg came out of a den, and stretched her arms wide.

“Can we have food?” Bright meowed desperately.

Bright and Sandy both knew that the twolegs couldn’t understand, but Bright constantly tried to ask for food.

I hate living with these twolegs. We’re always so hungry, and the twolegs don’t care.

The twoleg stared blankly at Bright and Sandy, and poured a few grains of brown food into a small bowl. The bowl was caked with dust and old bits of food, and was never cleaned. The twoleg squeaked a bit and went back to the room she came from.

Bright attempted to grab onto the twoleg with her claws, but it looked down and kicked her off. Bright squealed in surprise.

“Bright! Are you okay?” Sandy asked.

Bright’s fluffy tail had fur crushed on one side from landing on the floor.

“I’m okay Sandy. My tail just hurts a bit. And I’m also starving! We haven’t had a decent meal since forever!”

“Oh well. I think that we should leave this place!” Sandy mewed.

Chapter 2
Bright froze at Sandy’s statement.

“Sandy! We can’t leave here! This is our home. Where would we go? Besides, there are probably mean cats out there.”

“Well we’re kits. We wouldn’t harm any cat. Why would anyone want to hurt us?” Sandy replied.

“Well… the twolegs would come get us and be a lot meaner since we ran away!”

“Bright, you don’t seriously wan’t to stay here, do you?”

Sandy’s right. I don’t want to stay here. But where else can we go?

“N-No, I guess not.”

“Well let’s go. When they let us out to take dirt, we’ll go over the fence. How bad can it be? And don’t worry, Bright, I won’t let any cat or anything hurt you.”

“Oh alright then. I guess I do hate that slop they feed us. But if we get hurt, it’s you’re fault!” Bright mewed

“We won’t get hurt. Besides, we’re starving! The twolegs never feed us anything. We’re just looking for a nicer place.” Sandy insisted.

Sandy and Bright both went out into the backyard.

“We’ll have to jump up to that fence. You go first Bright.”

Okay, here goes. Hopefully I can reach the fence.

Bright leaped up with all her kit-strength, and landed neatly on the top of the fence. She could see spiky brambles right in front of her

“Sandy! Don’t jump yet, I…”

But Sandy jumped as Bright was talking. He landed right where Bright was, causing them both to be pushed into the thorny brambles. They tumbled through and eventually came to a stop at the ground on the other side.

Chapter 3
“Oww!” Sandy shrieked. “I’ve got thorns all over me. And our collars! Where are they?”

Bright turned around and Sandy saw thorns sticking all over her pale white and ginger-spotted pelt.

“Sandy! Be more careful next time. And listen!” Bright irritably meowed.

“Okay okay. But at least we got those bad collars off. They stinked!” Sandy replied.

“Anyway. Where do we go next Sandy?” Bright asked.

Sandy stopped as Bright said that. He hadn’t really thought about where they would go.

Oh no, I don’t know where we’ll go! I guess I figured that we’d find a really nice place for cats like us or something. We have no hope!

Suddenly, Bright collapsed, and started shivering.

“Bright! What’s going on? Are you okay?”

“N-n-need f-food Sandy.” Bright stuttered

She’s starving. Those rotten twolegs have starved us both. I could be next.

Suddenly a scruffy, skinny black and ginger tom came running out from the bushes.

Sandy gave a high pitched squeal when he saw the tom cat.

“Who are you?”

The small tom stopped and stared at Sandy.

“My name’s Patchy.” he meowed. “What are you two kits doing out here alone? Clan territory is a dangerous place for kits, or any cat to be on.”

“What’s a ‘clan’?”

“You’ll find out soon enough. I’d better get going, I’m stealing their prey.”

“What? Why?”

“I gotta eat! I can’t starve to death!”

“Can you help my sister Bright? She’s sick I think, because our mean twolegs starved us!”

“Patchy’s gaze softened.”

“Well, rogues like me normally don’t share food with others, but I guess I can’t just let a kit starve. I had a brother, his name was Russet, and he died of starvation because we couldn’t get enough food.”

“That’s a shame” Sandy sympathetically mewed. “My sister and I never knew our mother either.”

“Well anyway, here’s a mouse for you to have.”

“A mouse? I thought you had the regular kittypet food.”

“What?! Why would I eat that disgusting slop when there’s a moor full of prey? Try it, it’s great.”

“Sandy stuffed a small chunk of the mouse into Bright’s mouth and she chewed.”

“That tastes great! What is that?” Bright moaned.

Suddenly, a rustling was heard from the bushes.

“I’ve got to go” Patchy urgently mewed. “Goodbye. I hope you get better.”

Patchy ran off along a valley, and out of sight.

And then, a group of cats came running through the bushes. Bright squeaked in terror when she saw them. Sandy stood defensively in front of them.

“Are you going to eat us?”

Chapter 4
“Uh… no. We only eat prey like mice and rabbits.” A tall dark gray she-cat mewed.

“I think they know that Minnowstripe.” a light brown tom replied.

“Look at those kits! They’re starved! Should we take them to Tinyblossom?”

“Yes Primrosepaw, we’ll let Tinyblossom take a look at them.

“Will you make my sister get better?” Sandy asked.

“Well, our medicine cat, Tinyblossom, will try her best.”

“Huh? Bright was in a state of half-consciousness. “Where are you taking me? Who are you all?”

A creamy brown tom with blue eyes looked at Bright.

“I’m Primrosepaw. Don’t worry. Tinyblossom, our medicine cat will make you better. You look really sick.”

Bright fainted at this and her vision went black

***  Bright opened her eyes, and saw that she was in a den. She leaped up with a jolt.

“Wha? Where am I?”

“Whoa whoa whoa, hold it there.” A pale brown she-cat gently pushed Bright into a mossy nest.

“Who are you? Where am I?” Bright asked.

“My name is Softpaw. I’m the medicine cat apprentice. Don’t worry, you’re safe here.”

“What is a medicine cat apprentice? And where is Sandy?” Bright timidly wondered.

“Oh is he your brother? Don’t worry, he’s safe. He’s had a bit of prey. And you need something to eat too!” Softpaw replied.

Softpaw went out and came back into the den holding a furry mouse.

“Here you go Bright. Go on, eat up! You’re practically starved!” Softpaw spiritfully mewed

“With the fur and all? Ewww, that’s gross!” Bright distastefully replied.

“It tastes fine! Go on, try some.” Softpaw persisted

“I don’t want to!”

“Just a little?”

“Oh alright then.” Bright grudgingly gave in.

She bit the tender mouse and instantly gave a sigh of relief.

“Told you it was good.” Softpaw smartly meowed.

Just then, a small framed white she-cat came in with a mouthful of herbs. She dumped them on the floor, and spat some excess herbs from her mouth.

“Oh hello Bright. I’m Tinyblossom, the medicine cat.” the she-cat mewed

“Hi” Bright anxiously mewed.

Bright then saw a ginger, sandy-coloured tom come in.

“Sandy! You’re here!”

“Of course I am Bright!”

Bright nuzzled Sandy, and it seemed then as though it would be alright as long as Sandy was near.

Chapter 5
Sandy felt joyous at being reunited with Bright. The ‘medicine cat’ as everyone called her, hadn’t let Sandy see Bright. But they had been kind and given him more prey than he had ever had at once in his whole life.

“Bright, One of the ‘warriors’ called Spottedgorse showed me around the camp. This is called a clan. They’re WindClan, and everyone hunts in the wild. Isn’t it so cool!”

“It sounds a bit scary to me. What if the animals hurt you?” Bright anxiously replied.

"Don't worry Bright. I've hunted a few times and never been hurt. Even if you did get hurt, Softpaw or myself will treat you." Tinyblossom reassured Bright.
