You Never Knew

~You Never Knew~

Prologue
Moonlight washed over the empty riverbank. Perfect... Two amber eyes, unwavering and unafraid, glimmered from the shadows. Yes... tonight... it is tonight... Something rustled in the grass, and the eyes narrowed and moved in the direction it came from.

A slim grey tabby she-cat with big, innocent blue eyes was walking among the reeds and grass. She looked at every individual thing like it was a marvel she had never seen before. Her eyes slid by mistake to the other eyes, the ones in the shadows. "Oh..." she said with a hint of fear in her voice. "But, wait... those look like... Night... claw?"

The amber eyes blinked. The reeds rustled again, and a huge black tom emerged. "Yes," he said in a voice that was neither pleased nor angry. "It is I, Silverdawn. I am here to take back what is mine."

Silverdawn looked confused, like she couldn't quite remember something. Suddenly her face lit up. "So that's what Greenbriar meant when she predicted that the light would go away..."

With a single movement Nightclaw was in front of Silverdawn, his nose almost touching hers. "What was that?" he demanded. "Tell me everything that pathetic... I mean, just tell me what she said!"

The she-cat shrunk back, clearly afraid of the massive black creature. "She... she..." Silverdawn started to cry. "Greenbriar said that the light would go away into a shadow of the night, and only the silver moon could rescue us from the night..." Silverdawn shook her head and crouched down. "That's all she said, I promise!"
