Mosskit launched herself at a pile of dead leaves.. they scattered from under her paws, and she gave a huff of amusement. Just then, a soft new sounded behind her"Hello, Little one."

Nose twitching , Mosskit spun around with surprise, in time to see a beautiful pale silver and white she cat. "Who are you?" demanded Mosskit, bushing out her tail in silent fear.

"I"m Ivystar" she responded , seemingly amused "You're dreaming." her eyes shone and glimmered.

"You're a leader!?" squealed Mosskit , fear forgotten now. "what was you warrior name?" she wondered aloud.

"Ivypool" she answered, and her eyes gleamed slightly. starlight shone brightly at the patched she cat's paws, and Mosskit twitched an ear. "Oh." she mumbled.

"Shadows are falling soon, kit" whispered Ivystar, eyes narrowing "Trust no one."

Mosskit tipped her head "What?" she demanded "Why?!"

Ivystar sighed. "I'm sorry, Mosskit. I can tell you no more" the starlight at the she cats paws started to fade, and her pelt became misty and see-through.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mosskit yawned. warm sunshine crept into the nursery, and she tossed her head up high with pride.  Then she remembered her dream. it made her pelt grow cold , and let a shiver rack her body. Ivystar's warning rang in her head Trust no one.

why can't I trust anyone ? she wondered, shaking out her fur and growling softly and digging her claws into the ground. A soft mew sounded behind her "Mosskit?" it asked.

The blue-gray she cat swung around , surprised to see Risenkit standing there. "Are you Okay?" questioned the dark gray tom, and Mosskit nodded and muttered "I'm fine."

Risenkit nodded, seemingly thoughtful "Oh, Okay." he mumbled before trotting away, and Mosskit shook her head , trying to dislodge  the terrible memory.

Mosskit padded towards the fresh kill-pile. perhaps some prey will help wash away memories. she told her self, but even as she said it, she knew it was a lie.

Suddenly, Jumpkit burst from the nursery, sides heaving, with Leapkit on his tail. The two were obviously playing tag, there eyes bright as stars when silverpelt came out. Mosskit shook out her fur , knowing she should be so carefree as she was only 4 moons old. but I can't , thanks to Ivystar. she thought angrily , bushing out her tail.

Jumpkit and Leapkit zoomed past her, there fur puffed out against the cold. The two were so intent in there game they slammed into Honeyflower, who gave a amused snort and murmured something Mosskit didn't hear.

Suddenly, a loud screech sounded from near bye, and Mosskit bristled, staring towards the camp entrance with large eyes.
