Prologue
Sun Fire stood before her fellow Pack-mates. "I'm sorry," she said dejectedly. "I know that I have betrayed you all, but one day I will return and prove my worth. I shall be a Pack member again!" The other lynxes crowded around her, pressing closer to Sun Fire and the body of her dead sister, Running Stream. "Traitor!" they snarled at her. "Evildoer! Scum!" They unsheathed their claws and flashed their fangs. "You are a disgrace to the lynx Pack! I hereby banish you from this territory forever!" roared the Leader. Hanging her head, Sun Fire plodded away. When she looked back at her former Pack-mates, their eyes were cold and hard and their mouths chanted mockingly. Blinking back the cloudiness in her eyes, Sun Fire turned her head forward and left the territory...forever.

Chapter One
Crumpledstar peered out of his den, sheltered in a hole at the bottom of a huge tree. Breathing in the fresh air, he sighed happily. "It is a glorious morning, Graysky," he meowed to his deputy. Graysky nodded. "Indeed it is. Shall I send out a patrol?" He jumped down from a low branch. Crumpledstar purred dryly. "That's you, Graysky," he mewed. "Always worried about patrols. But if you insist on sending cats out, please select a few and tell them not to come back without prey." Graysky nodded and rushed off. Suddenly a cry sounded behind him. "Lynx!" it screeched. "It's raiding the nursery!" A heavily accented voice growled, "Relax, you birdbrain. I'm not raiding anything but this here rabbit." Crumpledstar ran over to the queen Logheart, who was attempting to fend off the lynx. "Crumpledstar! This lynx is attacking the nursery and stealing the fresh-kill!" she puffed.

The lynx-a golden female-batted her away. "Will you stop? I'm just trying to eat!" she hissed. "I don't care about raiding your dumb nursery." Crumpledstar stared at her. "Then what is your business here?" The lynx snarled. "I just told you," she said.

More coming soon!
