Prologue
News spread across the world. An epidemic was comming, almost every cat in the world would be dead in twelve moons. Scientist didn't know if any cat would survive. The safest place in the world, a forest, was still the only hope for any cat.

Chapter One
Morningstorm walked towards the camp entrance. The only elder was sunning herself outside the elder's den. Kits played outside of the nursery and Pigeonstar laid outside her den, watching her kit, Airkit. Suddenly, a kit ran right in front of him. Morningstorm stopped startled and then began padding over to his mate.

"And you want kits," Morningstorm stated.

Runningfire looked at him, "Kits will be kits, and besides, you probably for in everybody's way as a kit,"

Morningstorm purred.

"Hey, Morningstorm, go with Blackfang and Willowpaw on a border patrol!" called Frostfeather.

"I have to go," stated Morningstorm.

Morningstorm padded out of camp enjoying the sun. A moon ago, a huge blizzard had ripped through the forest. Now, Morningstorm was glad that the weather had calmed down. Tall oak trees surronded them as they headed towards the border. Hardly any bushes or ferns stood in their way. A few birds chirped over head and a slight breeze ruffled the leaves. Blackfang began to cough.

"Are you okay?" asked his apprentice.

"I'm fine," answered Blackfang weakly.

"Are you sure?" pressed Willowpaw.

"Yes,"

They continued on, arriving at the border, the patrol stopped. Morningstorm glanced out across the border and into LightningClan. The open space in between the trees turned into dense bushes. Blackfang started to cough violently.

"We need to go back..." began Morningstorm until he saw that Blackfang had coughed up blood, "their is no way," he continued, "we are not going back,"

Turned towards the camp, Morningstorm headed forwards with Blackfang and Willowpaw following. Willowpaw leaned against Blackfang to support him. Morningstorm turned his head to see a small trail of blood behind then.

/If he coughs up any more blood, he won't be able to make it/ noticed Morningstorm. Turning his head, he was relieved to find the camp entrance in front of him. Speeding up, he raced into camp and padded over to Riverbreeze's den.

"Blackfang is coughing up blood!" he called.

The tan colored medicine cat rushed out of his den and over to Blackfang who collapsed at the entrance.
