(Shard's Third Person POV)
Shard glared at Mouse as he licked the top of Black's head. He jumped as Shade sat next to him. "Hi Shard. What are you doing?" She asked curiously. Shard scowled and looked down. "I'm mad at Black. She literally just met Mouse and she's in love with him. He could be working with Mooneye!" He growled quietly. Shade snorted. "If Mouse was working with her, he would probably sneak out at night to see her for orders. We keep watch and never see him leave." Shade meowed calmly, curling her tail around her paws. Shard stood and stalked off, tail lashing. He slipped through the little bramble entrance and walked out, jaws parted for prey scent. Shard went deep into the forest and stiffened as he heard rustling. He spun around as the black tabby Tom leapt out and tackled him to the ground. Shard hit his head on a rock and blacked out.

Shard stirred and hissed as he observed he was in a 'cage', as the Twolegs called it. He got up and let his gaze sweep over the place. It was a really thin alleyway with lots of dumpsters and cats guarding some areas, like the caged area. Shard growled as his claw got stuck on the stuff and he sheathed them. The wire pricked at his paws and he scowled. "Hi. You got caught too?" A voice meowed from next to him. He turned to see a pretty brown she cat with stunning blue eyes and a ripped up blue collar. "Uh, yeah, I guess." He muttered. The she cat scratched at her collar, an annoyed look plastered on her face. "I'm Amber. Who are you?" She asked, narrowing her eyes slightly. "I'm Shard." He said quietly, pacing in the cage. Amber rolled her eyes. "Do you wanna get out?" She asked. Shard nodded eagerly. "Yeah, but aren't there guards?" He whispered back. Amber nodded, a thoughtful look on her face. "What do you think we should do, Crescent and Silk?" She asked to two cats in nearby cages. Crescent was a black Tom with silver paws and dark blue eyes. What caught his eyes was a silver crescent on his forehead and a necklace with a feather on it. Silk was a long haired she cat with Amber eyes and a purple collar. "I don't know. What will we do? Where are our Twolegs? Will they save us? What if these weird cats kill us?" Silk fretted. Crescent snorted and stood. "Mooneye probably sent more guards here since Shard is here. She'll use him as bait to get Black and the others. We have a slim chance of escaping, but thankfully they finally put a cat in Shard's cage." He stated. Shard narrowed his eyes. "How do you know about us?" He asked suspiciously. "It's all the guards talk about." Crescent said, amused. "Also if you look to your left you'll se a twig. Try reaching your paw out and grabbing it." He urged. Shard looked over to see there really was a twig. He stuck his paw through the wire and growled as it scratched him. He wriggled his paw around and let it adjust, then he reached for the twig. He barely grasped it in his claws and pulled it into the cage. Amber beamed. "Great! Now when the guards leave, you can pick the lock with the twig. I think it's small enough." She whisper yelled. Shard nodded. "That was a smart plan." He commented, casting a sideways glance at Crescent. He dipped his head. "Thanks." He meowed.

Shard sighed in relief as the guards left as night settled in the sky. He pulled the twig out from underneath his paw and held it with his teeth. He stuck his muzzle out of the cage and tried to pick the lock with the twig. He growled in frustration. Shard pulled his muzzle back in as he heard voices. They sounded extremely familiar. "Draco, where's Mooneye?" A she cat voice meowed. "She's meeting with the elders." A gruff voice responded. Suddenly it clicked in his head. The black tabby and the cream she cat! Shard thought. He pretended to sleep and heard shifting in the other cages. This might take a while, he thought.
