Remember

Prologue

Velvetkit slept soundly in the SunClan nursery. Her littermates, Amberkit and Mintkit, snuggled up beside her. Velvetkit was jerked awake when a yowl sounded. She pricked her ears and looked to her mother, Silverblade, but she was still asleep. Her sisters were awake and they all huddled closer.

A massive brown tabby silently entered the nursery. He did an evil grin and two more cats entered. One was a gray she-cat, the other was a jet black tom. They did the same evil grin as the first cat and each picked up a kit.

Velvetkit fidgeted as the tom picked her up by the scruff. "Silverblade!" She called, but her mother didn't even twitch.

"Hush." The tom hissed through a mouthful of fur. The littermates stopped wriggling and closed their tiny mouths in fear.

Velvetkit did a small squeak, but that's all that came out of her.

The three kitnappers raced through camp, as silent as a snake. The camp guard had fallen asleep and took no notice of the cats as they charged through the entrance.

The older cats dodged branches and stones as they ran through the forest. Are they going to kill me?

Finally, they came to a stop. The felines dropped the kits on the mushy ground. Velvetkit slowly opened her eyes. They were surrounded by multiple, foul-smelling cats. The clearing was marshy and wet. Velvetkit looked at her fearful littermates.

The odd cats stared at the kits and purred. One huge cat stepped out of his den and meowed, "welcome to MarshClan."
