Book 3 - Chapter 1

The strange cat looked around until it's gaze fell on Tigerstar. "Tigerstar. Beware." "Beware of what?" asked Tigerstar with narrowed eyes. "Beware." the cat repeated and she stalked towards the entrance. "Stop!" called Tigerstar. "What do you mean by beware?" "Beware" the cat said again. "What do you mean?" TIgerstar snarled. The cat turned it's blue eyes back to Tigerstar and looked at him before saying "Beware" once more then she walked away. Tigerstar hissed in frustration. "Tigerstar?" asked Berryfur uncertainly. "What?" "Do you think some-cat should go after the strange cat and ask what she mean't by BEWARE?" Tigerstar nodded. "Who should go?" asked Berryfur. "I will go," said Tigerstar. "You?" Tigerstar nodded. "If the cat were to attack I have lives to give my clan mates don't." Berryfur nodded. Tigerstar raced out into the mountains looked for the mysterious cat. "Where are you?" Tigerstar hissed. The cat slowly padded through the mist until she stood in front of Tigerstar. "Well?" the cat asked. "Why did you look for me?" With a yowl Tigerstar flung himself at the cat. The cat dodged  and batted a sheathed paw at Tigerstar. Tigerstar ducked and bit the cat's waving tail. The cat whipped around and ran straight towards Tigerstar nudging him. Tigerstar slipped and stumbled towards the edge of the mountain. The cat padded towards Tigerstar new burning hatred in her bright blue gaze.

Book 2 - Chapter 7


The cats shifted nervously. "We must go!" called Mintclaw. Tigerstar nodded and with a flick of his tail he gathered the cats of Fishclan around him. "Let us go!" he called. The cats trekked over the mountains until they reached a cave. They sheltered in the cave when a cat stalked into the cave. The clan cats shifted and whispered nervously. "Who is it?" asked Birchtail? "It is so dark in here that the cat could be Darkfinch and we won't even know," put in Berryfur. The cat walked to the center of the cave and looked around. Then the cat turned around and looked directly at Tigerstar. "Tigerstar," the cat meowed formally. Tigerstar looked up and said "How do you know who I am?" "I just do." "Did you learn from Darkfinch?" "Darkfinch?" "The black long-furred tom." Tigerstar snapped knowing that the cat knew exactly who Darkfinch was. The cat looked curious. "Why are you here?" interjected Tigerstar. "It was time." "Time for what?" asked Tigerstar uneasily. "Time to come." replied the cat. "Okay," said Tigerstar slowly. Thunder rumbled outside. Lighting struck a nearby tree and it burst into flames. The flames crept towards the sheltering cats. The clan cats could finally see this strange cat clearly. It was large, larger then any of the clan cats and it had long claws which it sank into the ground as it walked. This cat was clearly not a cat to mess with. The cat had deep blue eyes that surveyed the clan cats slowly. "How does this cat make simple words sound so powerful?" asked Seedpaw. 


 


Book 2 - Chapter 6

Blossompaw  spoke  first. "I left to join my mentor," she mewed nodding to Windshadow. Spottedfur said "My father is on Darkfinch's side and I went to join him." "I couldn't leave Spottedfur alone as the only queen so I went with her," said Snowhare. Windshadow spoke up "Darkfinch is a better leader then you will ever be." Echomist, and Sandswish nodded. Tigerstar bristled. Reedriver said "Darkfinch needs us more then you."  Tigerstar puffed out his fur. "FINE go then! Leave the clan." Tigerstar stalked down the hill and called to the assembled clan ,"Please say good bye to your clan mates they are no longer apart of our clan." The clan gasped. Blossompaw sighed. "GO" Commanded Tigerstar. Darkfinch padded away his new recruits following. Tigerstar eyed Blossompaw she hadn't padded after the others. "Blossompaw who's side are you on?" asked Tigerstar. "I don't know anymore." whimpered Blossompaw. "Stay here then." said Tigerstar. Blossompaw nodded. "I need a new mentor." Said Blossompaw. "So do I," said Rushpaw. Tigerstar nodded then said "Where is Morningflower, Milkfur and Rushpaw?" "I saw them" spoke up Seedpaw. "Where are they?" asked Berryfur. Seedpaw trembled. "They snuck out of clearing and followed Darkfinch. They were saying something about going so they could heal their clan mates." The clan stared at Seedpaw. Only Tigerstar seemed to figure out what had happened. He looked about at his clan before speaking. "Deputies please take 2 other cats and scout the territory. Queens please take the kits back to the nursery. Senior Warriors trot around the edge of the marsh. If there is anything we must move. Darkfinch has cats from our group. Cats that know our weaknesses, strengths and fighting techniques. Darkfinch is probably learning our fighting strategies right now."
