Darkness sat in the darkest part of the barn, high on a roof beam where she could look out the single window to the land beyond. The she-cat's eyes had a faraway look to them. She remembered her family. She sang softly, a song that her mother had taught her. "Only as far as you reach can you grow, And only as far as you seek can you go, Only as deep as you look can you see, And only as much as you dream can you be." Tears sprang unbidden to the normally cruel she-cat's eyes. The Clans would pay, pay for all they had stolen and torn from her...

Shadow padded into an old barn and smelled another cat. "Shade?" she asked, and heard a soft murmur, but couldn't recall her sisters voice or scent, or even what she looked like. All that she could remember were her mother's words before she died *Go and find Shade, you are the same as your sister, born in the same place and named after your birthplace.* It had been a strange last speech, but her mom was a strange cat unlike any other. "Shade!" she called again.

(no, you're fine) Darkness started at the sound of another cat's voice. Hastily, the she-cat pawed the tears from her eyes and looked around. A strange cat-scent met her nose as she turned. "Who are you?" She growled down at the cat.

"S-shade?" she stammered, still not knowing if this was her sister. "It's me... Shadow." Nervously she pawed the ground, she had never expected her 'sister' to sound so threatening. *She's probably just being cautious, like mama told us to be.* she said to herself, forcing her mind to belive her.

"Shade? What are you talking about?" Darkness asked. "There's no "Shade" here, not at the moment anyway. So who are you?" The black she cat jumped down from the rafters where she had been sitting to confront the strange new cat.

"You sure there's no Shade?" she looked up at the older cat before continuing "My name's Shadow, and Shade's my sister. What's your name?"

"I'm Darkness, and there might be a Shade within this territory, but not in this barn now." The black she-cat said. Her claws were unsheathed, and her ice blue eyes were eyeing Shadow with suspicion. "Is that why you're here? You're looking for Shade?"

"Y-yes" the kit stammered, taking a step backward. She didn't want to fight. Especially since if they did she would be crushed. She started to crouch down in submission, but thought better of it, instead she met Darkness's terrifying gaze as evenly as she could. She didn't want to show weakness or aggression, just prove that she wasn't afraid, even though she was.

A small smile flickered briefly across Darkness's face in approval of the kit's bravery. "Shade is not here, but you can look in the Alley and around here. If she is in the terra, you'll find her."

"The terra?" she didn't really know what that was. "What's a terra?" she paused "and what's an alley? Where are they?"

Darkness rolled her eyes. "A terra is a land, and there's a loner's land, this area we're in now. Then the Clans," She spat the word. "Have their own terras, though perhaps not for long. An alley in a small pathway between two Twoleg holes."

"Oh." she looked at the ground, pretending she understood for a moment before curiosity won. "What's a Clan? And what's a Twoleg?" She had a feeling her constant questions would get annoying, but she didn't know what all these new words meant and would be wondering about them all day and night until she figured them out.

Darkness let out a sigh of exasperation, but this kit was begining to grow on her. "A Clan is an organized group of cats that call themselves noble. They live in the forest, with leaders and warrior ranks and stuff. A twoleg is one of those big, stupid things that walk on two legs and live in those box enclosures."

"You mean Upwalkers? I've heard of those things, but never actually seen them." She smiled up at Darkness, she wasn't mean, at least not now. "So, just how noble are these Clans?"

"Unbearably noble." Darkness growled. Her hatred of the Clans was unsurpassed. "Oh, they say their noble, and they have a code and a stupid "starClan" or something. But they just use it to excuse killing innocent cats."
