This story is centered around my two characters, Blueheart and Dewsplash! It also sprinkles in my friends characters, and one of them, Copperfall, plays a huge role!
Prologue - Blueheart's POV[]
Silence pierces the night. My eyes look from side to side, and I wonder which way to go. I need to break trail, get away from them. The two cats, one black-and-gray, and the other... I couldn't make it out. There's still dead silence, no pawsteps, nothing. I try not to crack twigs, as they could find me. I crouch in a bush as I hear pawsteps. "She's gone."
"Josh, I think she got away."
"Ok, Ross, let's go home."
They pad away, and I come out of the bush. I pad on, deeper into the woods, maybe I can find a camp for the night. I realize how scary it is, owls hooting, danger everywhere. I was careful, as it would be horrible to step on a snake. I shiver at the thought. I'd have escaped for nothing! I still pad on, until I come upon a clearing. "Wow," I breathe.
I could smell no cat-scent, this would be perfect. I curl up in the sand, which felt comfy to me just at that moment. I close my eyes, and the darkness comes almost immediately...

"Who's this?"
My eyes open, seeing a brown tom standing over me. "Who are you?"
I arch my back against the bushes, ready to fight for my life if I had to. "Relax," the tom hisses.
I put my fur down, and sat, making myself comfortable. This tom didn't seem like a threat. "What's your name?" I ask softly.
"Copperfall."
"Mine's Blueheart."
We look at each other, as I knew we were both exiled Clan cats, or maybe he was an escapee. "Did you escape too?" He asks gently, and he looks me square in the eye.
"I was exiled."
Chapter One - Dewsplash's POV[]
I groomed my fur. I didn't take any caution or anything, I just wanted to be able to go outside! Other cats would tease me if I looked messy. My paws itched. I nibbled at them, and just padded outside. I was met by a warm breeze, carrying warm cat-scent on it. "Dewsplash."
I looked to see Snowfur, Blueheart's half-sister. "I'm sorry about Blueheart."
Snowfur shrugged, looking away. I stretched. "Anyway, do you want me on patrol?" I asked.
"That would be nice," Snowfur agreed.
I hurried away, and gathered up Lionblaze, Blossomheart, and Leafwhisker. We padded on in silence, only hearing the birds tweet. "Dewsplash, I smell something," Lionblaze meowed suddenly.
I sniffed the air, tasting it in my mouth. I could smell a musky scent. I recalled it, from my first days in the Clan. It was no threat. "A deer," I mewed breezily.
We padded on.
