 ~ Prolouge~ The full moon casted light down on the abandoned two-leg nest, hundards of bodys poored from the windows and door as they charged towards the attacking patrol, there eyes glew as they squeaked in hunger. The cats where pushed agaisnt a clife side, battling and tossing the rats off the side.
"There's to many!" yowled a scared-gray she-cat who cranned her head around and ripped a rat from the base of her tail and tossed it off the clife, her yellow eyes searched for her companion that was lost under the mass of rats. "We can't go on like this for much longer! we need to retreat!" her voice seemed to be drowned out but the rats and yowling cats. A ginger she-cat tackled a massive rat that aimed itself for the gray she-cat "What about Rottingstar!?" she yowled as she snaped at another rat. "Whats more important!" yowled the gray she-cat "A life or the clan!" she yowled and clawed a rats face, a brown-and-white tom clawed at a jumping rat "Yelloweye's right, where's Scarmoon!?" he asked and looked around quickly, taking in the saroundings, The gray she-cat hissed and bite the neck of a rat "UP there with nightheart" she lashed her tail towards the small hill where there shadows where casted. The brown-and-white tom charged away to tell his deputy they needed to leave. The Pale-brown with thick black tabby-stripes came into veiw first "Nightheart!" the tom yowled and leaped on top of a rat that was biting at the toms tail, the tom rounded and clawed a rat that was on the toms shoulder "Thanks" he yowled before he looked around and saw the long-furred gray tom running up the hill towards the clife "Scarmoon!" both the toms at once, the tom didn't appear to hear them or care as he lunged himself into the air the brown-and-white tom noticed the huge rat lunging at them, scarmoon stopped him halfway there and bite the back of his neck "We can't stay here, were going to die!" the brown-and-white tom yowled, the deputy turned with the dead rat in his jaws, the moon reflected from his gray pelt making him glow his gray eye shown as the scar that gave him his name curled down his face stood out "I know Fawnstep" he yowled, his eyes where deep and sad. A rat bite his flank and made him turn away to get it, before he bolted to the top of the clife again, stood on his hind legs and yowled "Moonclan retreat, this is a battle no one can win!" his voice echoed and alearted many of the cats as they grabbed there injured clan mates and began fleeing into the forest the rats squeaked as they cheered the victory.
The gray tom came last, bringing up the rear. They had abandoned there camp to get away from the rats, the gray she-cat pulled beside her deputy "What are we going to do?!" she mewed sharply "There's no way we can beat those rats" her voice became sad as the she-cat was born and raised there. The deputy looked far-away "I really don't know anymore, Yelloweyes" he mewed numbly. The gray she-cat looked at her deputy, he had never looked so...so helpless the cats leaped over a fallen log as they made there way up the side of a hill to where the rest of moonclan waited. The rest of the cats bolted out to greet the returning cats "Scarmoon!" yowled a beatiful pale-brown she-cat with thick black stripes, she staggered to him and nudged his chest "Your hurt" she whispered, a tom appeared beside her and nudged her ear "Sister, you should get back with your kits" he mewed faintly, the gray tom blinked slowly not knowing what the out come was "You should be resting Clearpuddle" his voice was storng like before, more certen "Our kits need there mother" his voice became gentle, the she-cat didn't move "I.don't.want.to.lose.you" she whispered faintly, the tom rested his chine on the back on her neck "I won't go anywhere" he promised boldly "We need to move the clan" he added more loudly. A snowy-white she-cat appeared from the make-shift nur. den "We can't. the kits will die if we try and move them" her eyes where despret. The gray tom stared her strait in the eye "Starclan has made it clear that Moonclan is not welcome in these forests" his voice held storng, an black-and-white she-cat appeared "We can't leave! I was born her, my mother was born here and my mothers,mother! this is moonclans forest not some rats!" her eyes where wide, An brown-tabby appeared beside her "Where is Moonclan going to go?" he asked, his eyes where narrowed "Theres nothing beyoned these moutines" he lashed his tail towards the moutines "And are home is gone, is moonclan's time finally over?!" he asked. A blue-and-black she-cat appeared with a ginger apprentice at her heels "Starclan has said nothing to me" she reported "Nor my apprentice" her blue eyes stared blankly at her apprentice who stared wide-eye'd back. "So thats it then! where just going to let moonclan die!" a small black-and-white apprentice yowled "How do we know theres no place to live up there!?" she demanded, a white-apprentice at her paws. His breathing shallow "Hush Whitepaw" snaped a tabby-tom as he stepped foward "she has a point, why can't we at least try?" he asked. The gray tom looked doubtful but nodded finally "Well wait for a few days to get are streangh up, then well leave" he yowled. A black-and-silver she-cat stood and yowled "Where's Rottingstar?!" her voice was sharp and scared. The gray tom padded briskly foward and leaped on top of a rock "I have grave news" he yowled, his eyes bitter "We've lost a lot of warriors, Rottingstar was amoung them" he yowled. The clan cats wailed loudly as they began to grife for there lost leader "I'll go find him!" yowled the young brown-and-black tom his ember eyes glew with emotion "No nightheart, its far to dangures for you to go" his voice was disaproving "I'll go to!" yowled his mate as she stagered to the tom and stood next to him bravly "No! Clearpuddle what about your kits!" yowled a pure black she-cat with white-spots. She turned to her "Nurse them for me" she oredered. The gray tom leaped from the rock and landed in front of her "You can't go!" he mewed sharply, his eyes clouded. The she-cat sighed and reached foward touching his nose "Rottingstar is my father and my leader, I will find him" she added more determind "Stay here Clearpuddle, I'll g-" the tom was cut of by her tail-tip "No Scarmoon. the clan needs you" she whispered. The tom looked despretly into her eyes "I can't live with out you" he whispered, the she-cat looked at him sadly "I can't live with out you" she lowered her head "I'll be back, I promise" she added more quick before she could turn the tom pushed his face into hers "I'll wait for you, get back in two sunrises, thats as long as the clan cat wait for you" he stepped back. The bother and sister looked at the clan who wished them good luck before they darted away, The tom stood watching her leave 'I'll wait for you' the tom tought and turned away to face the clan.
The sun began to rise when the cats stood on the ring of the woods, facing the moutines, the gray tom stared hopefully into the forest, hoping to see if his mate would appear "We need to go Scarmoon" whispered the long-furred snowy-white she-cat as she nudged him. The tom looked sadly and nodded standing to his paws he took lead and lead them towards the boulders, when he stopped to look back at the forest that he would never see again and on the wind he heard 'Wait for me, I'll find you one day'
