In the heart of a forest, under the reflections of the moon, the FlamClan was calm. The cats were sleeping peacefully and they had no idea of ​​the horror that was going to happen.

In the warrior's den, a white cat slept badly, he felt a weight on his chest. He finally opens his eyes. in the den it was dark.

He seemed to have seen two shiny shards, in a corner of the den. Before he can question, he felt a smell coming from outside, and saw the tip of a tail disappear from the den. The cat got up and headed towards the exit. Once outside, he sweep the camp with this gray blue eyes. his gaze laid on the exit of the camp, where the same tail slipped away.

The white tom came running after the mysterious cat. He slipped into the tunnel, the brambles scratched his back, and, while he extricated out of the narrrow passage, the two eyes reappeared. The warrior ran towards him, but when he was there, the eyes had vanished again. The cat grumbled then followed the trail, he knew this smell. But, the sleepiness numbed this limbs, making him unable to give his cat a name..

He ended up arriveed in a clearing. The mysterious feline was waiting for him in the center, sat. His coat was covered in silver under the moonlight.

"Hi, Watertail, meowed the silver cat.

- Why did you lure me here ? requested Watertail."

The cat smiled, which made Watertail shiver. His comrade looked threatening.

Now, he had recognized the cat. But, he didn't understand why he looked so threatening, he who was usually so discreet.

"The time of glory has arrived ! shouted the cat who was hidden in the night with his dark fur.

- Why ? asked Watertail, in the incomprehension.

- Clans are weak, it's time for a real leader to take their lead

- But what are you saying ? That's not like you...you who are usually so calm and gentle..."

He sneered evilly.

  "I pretended to be weak, So who will suspect me ? the scourge will fall come soon.

   - So why are you telling me everything now ? asked the cat, worried.

   - It's time for the punishment to begin. I can reveal the first cat anything that will succumb under my claws."

  Watertail was seized by a wave of fear, he returned in one leap and ran in the forest. He had not realized he had gone so far. Behind him, a terrifying laugh rang out and resonated  everywhere.
  StarClan, help me !

  The forest passed before his eyes, behind him he heard the hammering of his comrade's footsteps. The only thing he could think of was to run away, as quickly as possible, and warn his clan.

  Suddenly, a searing pain pierced his tail. His pursuer had caught up with him.
  Help ! StarClan ! thought the terrified feline.

  Fear guided his steps, he could do nothing but try to run. he knew there was no hope, he was going to die before reaching the camp. But he didn't want to die, his instinct wouldn't let him do it. It kept pushing him forward.

  The more he forced, the more the pain intensified. Fear and pain blinded him, branches and brambles whipped him all over his body and the face.

  With all this, Watertail did not see the tree trunk in front of him, and charged into it, crashing his snout into it. The cat stood over him, as he had just crashed to the ground.
  No ! no ! no ! I can't die like this ! StarClan, do something, I am too young !

  The traitor leaned over to his ear, his gaze evil, while Watertail's eyes widened.

  "You really thought you had a chance ? he whispered in the hollow of this orifice. I smell your fear, and that proves you are weak. And the weak must die..."
