Stonestreak bounded up a hill, looking back at the valley where this clan lived. Jagged cliffs glowed silver in the moonlight, the streams and brooks shone and glittered, while the tree tops ruffled. It was....beautiful mostly. Stonestreak smiled, then shook his head. No. I can't show any weakness. he remembered.A flicker of sadness washed through him as the gray tom realized that pretty soon, the valley would be stained with beautiful crimson, running the water red.

Reedpaw let out a hiss as Blackpaw sat on her tail. "Ouch, Blackpaw! Seesh, can't you watch where you're sitting!" Reedpaw yanked her tail away from Blackpaw, lashing it back and forth.
Blackpaw rolled his eyes at Reedpaw before bounding to Willowpaw, talking to the she-cat while shooting glares at Reedpaw. Oh oh, because you're the innocent one! she thought bitterly, getting up and padding to Cinderpool's den.
The gray she-cat was talking to Embersky, both who seemed to be frightened out of their minds. Reedpaw bit her lip at the thought of going up and breaking up their conversation. Cinderpool might be angry, but she knew Embersky wouldn't.
Sighing, she padded up to the two she-cats. "Erm....anything...wrong?" she asked.
Cinderpool whipped her head around, but forced her fur to lie flat when she saw it was only Reedpaw. "Uh, no. Nothing. Embersky was just.....speaking about the shortage of prey," she mewed quickly, looking back to Reedpaw.
Reedpaw narrowed her eyes as Embersky bounded away, hurrying off. Sure you were.... "I wanted to....never mind. I just remembered that....I was hungry," she growled, whipping around.
Reedpaw knew something was up. And she was going to find out exactly what.
Even if it meant demanding it from Embersky and Cinderpool.
Okay, what Cinderpool and Embersky where talking about was Embersky's dream.
