-Moons earlier- (Proelogue)

A group of cats hid from snowstorm, large brown tom blocked the entrance as rest of group, shivered and cuddled for warmth. Mallow, a brown tabby she cat, crouched. Her head rest. Mallow decided to go and hunt, she made small exit and squeezed out, Strong winds pushed her as freezing snow gnawed her paws.

She stalked through the trees, She pounced and cracked the neck of vole, It must been hungry like her. She trotted back and slipped in. Looking up to meet eyes looking at her, Her jaw dropped. " Where were you?" Lion spat, " Hunting!" She retorted, rolling her eyes. " Calm down, Lion. As long she's safe we are okay." Mist assured him. A growled rolled in his throat as they settled to eat.

After the meal, Cloud spoke up " So.. Mallow, you always see to start trouble." He glared at her, Mallow stood up, fur spiking out. " I don't!" She argued. " You do, Freckle died at river, you were there. Harper died because of dog and you were there! You cause calamity." Lion hissed as Mallow shrank and turned around to sleep.

The storm had passed and sun was shrinking. " I am not weak!" Cloud hissed at Lion. " You are and can't leave!" Cloud glared, As Mallow woke up. " Cloud isn't we-" Cloud spun and hissed, " Shut up! You useless idiot!!" Mallow stopped and then spoke " I was defending yo-" Cloud swiped his paw, clawing Mallow's chest. " I said Shut up!!" Cloud yelled at her. He left the den as Mallow ran out, tears falling.

Mallow slithered into barn, few eyes staring down at her, A large gray tom walked towards her. " What do you want?" The tom growled, " N-nothing" She whimpered but she thought of old pals and hatred and anger surged within her, creating bravery. She snarled and leapt at the tom, She slit his throat and snapped his neck, just in case. The tom let terrified yowl and fell limp, "........" Cats stayed quite. " You killed our leader, Samson!!" Cats yowled, mix of anger or terror rippled out.

" What is your name? You shown how worthy you are as leader." A golden she cat mewed, " My is name is Mal- Calamity" She meowed. Calamity held her chin high as she looked upon her new friends, she kicked limp leader, as few cats stumbled down and carried it away.
