The Rise Of Sun-Clan | The Mountain Territory, #1

Prologue

Owl'Star watched the camp, her eyes lingering on the shifting green leaves on the trees that hung above. 

She shuffled her paws, watching the patrol as they exited camp. She watched Adder'Flare smirking, talking to Blossom'Foot. She watched the clouds cross the sky. And best of all, she watched her clan-mates laughing and smiling at each other. 

A fresh gust of wind swirled through her brown fur, soft whistling filtering though the tree tops. It was always quite windy on the mountain they called home.

Owl'Star waved a paw to Python'Snap, as she giggled and looked up at the leader, grinning. The warrior sat in front of the nursery, talking to Petal'Thorn. Cotton'Kit was spinning around her mother's paws, dancing and singing.

Rose'Skull emerged out of the den, caring a tiny ball of beige fluff. "Cream'Kit is taking his first steps today!" She cheered softly. She placed the kit down, watching as it squeaked and started wobbly walking forward. Soon enough, it was bouncing up and down, grinning. 

Cotton'Kit watched in glee, joining along with his bouncing. The two kits giggled, playing around and wrestling.

Owl'Star tipped her head, a soft smile spread across her face. "Who would want to ruin this?" She'd ask herself softly.

In the medicine den, Adder'Flare hissed at Blossom'Foot. "Now. Listen to me closely. I will reveal your secret to the entire clan if you do not follow what I say. Just get the yew ready." She spat.

Blossom'Foot's eyes slitted. "Fine. Fine!" She grumbled.

Blossom'Foot snatched a stick with red berries on it, and dropped it behind a moss nest swiftly. "I hope you go to the Dark Forest." She'd sneer.

"I suppose I'll see you there." Adder'Flare hissed through clenched teeth.
