Rising Waters

Chapter 1
Thunder rumbled overhead was rain pelted the landscape fiercly. The trees swayed in the wind and the moors howled with agony.

Cinderheart's eyes opened. She recognized the smell of the nursery with the milk Poppyfrost was giving her new litter. She tried to curl up in her nest again, but voices in the warriors den right next to her bothered her. She could firstly hear her mate speaking.

"She's pregnant." retorted Lionblaze. "I'm not leaving her side."

A hiss followed his comment. "Go on the patrol with Ivypool and Thornclaw!"

"But what if she gives birth while I'm gone and it goes wrong?"

Bramblestar sighed. "Lionblaze, she'll be fine. Now listen to Squirrelflight."

"Thank you." Squirrelflight meowed. "Lionblaze, with your patrol go check the lakeshore and the borders on the ShadowClan and WindClan side. They might take advantage of us."

"And," added Thornclaw. "We'll try to get some prey while we are at it."

"Alright then." said Bramblestar. "Off with you then."
