Squirrelflight opened her eyes, Darkness shrouded the forest, BlackEars voice called out to her, she turned to go after him but was pulled back by something, sounds of kits echoed through the tunnels, she let out a shriek of pain, she could see small kits, starving without their mother, she raced forward, towards the mewls, the darkness began to fade,

SquirrelTail unsheathed her claws into the dirt, she remembered her dream, the only way to keep her kits, her mate and the clan safe was to be leader, like her mother had been, before torrentstar, and now the only way to become leader was to do whatever it took, she padded from her nest, she spotted Beetail pad out of camp, alone.
