Prologue
A light brown tabby tom walked toward a riverbank. He glared at the rushing stream,his rough coat battered against the wind;then he found it. His cold blue eyes went wide,and he slashed at the air,but he missed the target. A splash was heard far away,and the tom was gone. A small pool of crimson blood was next to the water,staining the river. But he was alive.

Chapter 1
Rainpaw slowly stalked the vole,her fern green eyes following her prey. She carefully stepped closer. 1...2... The crunch of a leaf,and the vole disappeared into the gloom of the RiverClan forest. Her mentor,Hawkblaze,had his white-tipped tail flick in disapproval. Rainpaw's head dipped,embarrassed at her failure. "Don't worry,Rainpaw! You'll get it eventually." He said,his amber eyes gazing at her. She looked up at her mentor,not knowing what to do. Hawkblaze responded for her "Come on,we'll go to the training hollow." They padded over to the sandy training hollow,each step echoing throughout the peaceful woods. "Now remember what I taught you." Hawkblaze meowed. "Crouch down. Not all the way,just to where you front chest fluff touches the forest floor. Rear up,but not all the way,and maintain balance with your tail." He demonstrated it,his black chest fur touching the sand,tail aligned perfectly to keep balance. "Now silently creep up toward your prey,and be aware of your surroundings. S-" "I know,stepping on leaves or branches will give you away." Rainpaw muttered,not wanting him to hear. "Ah,the rare occurrence of a wild Rainpaw speaking." Rainpaw glared at her mentor,her eyes piercing through him. She crouched down,silently stalked toward her mentor,and pounced. She tackled Hawkblaze to the sand,a ring of dust surrounding them from the impact. She grunted in victory,then stalked toward a sunny spot and sat there,grooming herself. Hawkblaze got up,shaking the dust off his pelt. "Nice move there,kid!" He said,proud of his apprentice. He trotted toward camp,his apprentice tailing behind him. Rainpaw's ears swiveled as a sound echoed through the forest. She glanced back,but saw nothing but the shadows of the trees. She felt herself stumble,and looked down to see footprints from a cat much bigger than her mentor hidden in the sand. She shivered,then stumbled behind Hawkblaze,her chest cold.
