She tore at the bird's dry, bland meat. It was the middle of a drought, and the sun trickled through the bushes. Hunching her shoulders against the heat, she stood. Prone to sunburn, the hairless female stayed in what shade she could get.
"Whisper. "
A voice snapped her from her thoughts and she perked her ears to listen.
" Yes? W-who is it? " she asked tentatively, her short tail raised in alarm.
" Dark times are coming, Friend. Gather more cats, raise a family. Anything to make yourself stronger. Fight back, Whisper. Fight back. "
The voice faded, leaving no trail of scent or being. Whisper widened her eyes in astonishment. She was barely even out of kithood! Surely, it would be okay?
" I will. I promise. I will." the young She-cat muttered to herself.
"I will!" she you led, breaking into a run. Her slim, muscled build was tense with anticipation of what was to come.

(Ashen, first leader of WhiteClan's PoV)
The grey tom heard a rustle, and he rose to his back legs like a rabbit. He turned, his bright, electric yellow gaze piercing the thing that moved. The screech of a rabbit being killed filled his eardrums and he stopped running, his flowing movements put to a standstill.
"Ashen. "
He heard his name.
" Ashen. "
He heard it again.
"Keep running, rabbit."
The hiss of a Thousand voices chilled him to the bone.
"What? Can't you see I'm busy? "
He growled impatiently.
" Do not fool with me, kit. "
The voice hissed again, the sound so thick he could almost touch it.
" Dark times are here. Keep running. Blood will stain your mind and evil will burn your soul. "
" As if I'd care."
The young Tom was stricken down almost immediately with an impenetrable force. He cried out, his ears shooting back in utter fury."Shut up and keep running, fool. Or come and fight me. "
The voice cackled. He guessed it was somecat important.
" Leave me alone.. "
His voice faded and he was snatched up In the grasp of a Monster. The voice reared up, the sunlight exposing large fangs and wings spread out. This was like nothing he'd seen before. This was crazy!
" I am ZenFire! " it cried, it's almost inky black fur turning into.. Scales? What was this beast? Some sort of snake? He shook his head and thrashed around, desperate to be put down. ZenFire swiftly snapped his tail and dropped him, vanishing into the dark pit of the forest again.
