BayPaw stared out at the mostly melted snow, New-Leaf was coming in fast. He watched as heaps of fur wrestled each other. RavenBelly's kits, GingerKit, FrostKit, and RainyKit were born, and so were WaterStreak's kits, FlameKit, LarkKit, TawnyKit, and MinnowKit. Only a few moons after each other.

"No fair!" FlameKit mewed to LarkKit. "TawnyKit's cheating!"

"I am NOT cheating! I caught you fair and square, FlameKit!" TawnyKit retorted.

BayPaw giggled, but then he felt something, like someone was staring at him. He turned,  and saw a small, red she-cat staring at him, a scar running down from her nose to her underbelly.

"Greetings, BayPaw. I am RedScratch." She mewed. "One of your ancestors."

BayPaw stumbled back a bit, shocked. "Why are you here, RedScratch?" He mewed shakily.

"I came here to tell you a prophecy, a prophecy shared with all of the medicine cats before you." RedScratch mewed.

"Really? This is my first prophecy!" BayPaw mewed excitedly.

"And it might be your only prophecy. So listen carefully." RedScratch meowed.

"A spotted cat, will pay the heavy cost to save the clans. If their sacrifice is not made, the clans shall perish." The cat said.

"Wait, "clans"? But, the five clans don't associate with us!" BayPaw said.

"You shall see, young BayPaw, you shall see." RedScratch mewed, fading away.

BayPaw continued to stare out at the camp, then saw a shape staring back at him. The cat's green eyes pierced his. The cat was not like any cat he had seen in MossClan, pure white, like the snow, and blank, green eyes. Suddenly, the pure snow-white cat vanished, to reveal the small shape of LeafKit, staring up at him. Her green eyes pierced through BayPaw's, like the mysterious cat's eyes. 

"Who are you, and who was that cat?" LeafKit mewed.
