Warriors Cats Rise of the Dark Forest

at. ”Sure. ” Midnight slowly walked out of the medical den. She was actually happy to get out of there. This ”Jayfeather ” was busy yelling at Flowerpedal. And he was louder than Ivy in the morning trying to wake up Pepper. Midnight sat by the deceased leader and buried her nose into her fur. Midnight was going to miss Yellowstar. ”Thank you, ” Midnight whispered. Midnight suddenly felt a sense of comfort. And a voice sounding much like Yellowstars whispered back, ”You
e welcome, Midnight. ” Was she dreaming? She had to be. Yellowstar was lying there dead right in front of her. How is it possible? This can be possible! Midnight ran into the nursery. She curled her tail around her nose, and cried herself to sleep. A few minutes later, Pepper and Blossomkit joined her by her side to keep her company. This was very sad day for all of Thunder Clan.

The girls woke up to cats hissing. ”This was your fault! You killed Yellowstar! ” ”Why would somecat want to kill Yellowstar, ” asked Pepper quietly. Midnight shrugged and yawned Well now I know it wasn a dream, she thought to herself. ”Hey Blossomkit, how did you know that Yellowstar had one life left, ” asked Midnight. ”Uhh, I don know. I overheard her talking to Blackfur about it. Suddenly, there was a loud yowl. The girls perked their ears. Were they about to fight? They could fight too. They were technically old enough. They were six moons old. Blossomkit peeked her head out of the nursery to see what all the fuss was about. Her eyes rounded and her whiskers twitched. Blossomkit motioned with her tail for Midnight and Pepper to come closer, and they too, peeked out of the nursery. Cats hissed and growled, claws were unsheathed. There was no doubt that these cats were about to fight. Flamepaw dashed at one of the cats. ”DIIIEE, ” he screamed. Swiftfoot quickly grabbed Flamepaw by the scruff. ”Now is not the time. ” But then suddenly, a cat attacked Swiftfoot from the side and pinned him to the ground, throwing Swiftfoot off guard. Flamepaw leaped on top of the cat in hopes of defeating her, but he wasn strong enough yet. And she had thrown him off. Flowerpedal gasped as she saw what was going on. Swiftfoot took this chance to claw the cat from underneath. The cat yowled in pain. Berrypaw came out of the apprentice den. He, too, was taking a nap. Berrypaw again saw Blossomkit, Midnight and Pepper. He saw them with their heads peeking out of the nursery and he glared. Berrypaw lounged at the cat. He dug his claws into the cats sides, and bit her neck. The cat released Swiftfoot, turning around to fight Berrypaw. But Swiftfoot wasn free yet. Two other cats leaped on top of him, leading to other Thunder Clan cats leaping on top of them. Leopardcall dragged the three further back into the nursery. She stood infront of them. Her teeth bared, her tail lashed violently, and her claws unsheathed. She was going to protect these kits.

Even at the cost of her life.

With all his strength, Swiftfoot threw the cats off his back. Swiftfoot was now covered in claw marks from head to tail. He yowled loudly as the same cat pinned him down again, but jabbed her claws deeply into his pelt, and bit into his neck. The cat grinned as he left Swiftfoot lying on the ”They should not have done this, ” Berrypaw mumbled. ”Oh no they shouldn have. And we can just sit here mourn him. We must kill them, ” said Mapleshade. ”I will, ” growled Berrypaw, ”Ill kill them all. ” Berrypaw yowled loudly as he darted towards the ONE cat that killed his kin. He jumped on top, biting into her neck, and clawing at her eyes until she was blind. He jumped onto another cat, who had been fighting his brother, pinning him down and clawing deeply at their stomach. Meanwhile in the nursery, another cat was prowling inside. The queens and other she-cats quickly formed a protective barrier around the kits and began to growl and hiss. The cat lounged at them, trying to ground. Berrypaw quickly ran to Swiftfoot. ”Swiftfoot, you gotta get up, ” he meowed, ”Please! GET UP! ” Swiftfoot forced himself to speak. He was very weak. ”You don always need me Berrypaw. ” Tears started rolling down Berrypaws face. ”But I do! And everyone needs you too! The whole clan will be so flea-brained without you! ” Swiftfoot chuckled. ”The clan doesn need my wisdom. But they do need you to protect them. ” Swiftfoot breathed his last breath. And Berrypaw stared with grief, his heart burned and his eyes filled with rage. Mapleshade looked upon the apprentice, who had stopped in battle to mourn Swiftfoot. ”Oh, you poor little warrior…they were so cruel. So wrong, ” she meowed sympathetically. ”They should not have done this, ” Berrypaw mumbled. ”Oh no they shouldn have. And we can just sit here mourn him. We must kill them, ” said Mapleshade. ”I will, ” growled Berrypaw, ”Ill kill them all. ” Berrypaw yowled loudly as he darted towards the ONE cat that killed his kin. He jumped on top, biting into her neck, and clawing at her eyes until she was blind. He jumped onto another cat, who had been fighting his brother, pinning him down and clawing deeply at their stomach. Meanwhile in the nursery, another cat was prowling inside. The queens and other she-cats quickly formed a protective barrier around the kits and began to growl and hiss. The cat lounged at them, trying to break them apart. But Willowcry quickly reached up and clawed at him. The stubborn Grumbleeyes peeked inside the nursery. This cat would not give up. And neither would the queens and the young she-cats of Thunder Clan. But of course, she could still fight too. Why she retired, not even the clan remembers. Grumbleyes padded into the nursery and sat. ”I don know about you, but when I was your age, I never invaded the nursery, ” she meowed, ”Do you know why I didn do it? ” The apprentice-looking tom shook his head slowly. ”Common sense, ” she meowed, ”I once heard that if you kill a queen, OR a kit you go to the dark forest when you die. ” The young toms eyes opened wide with fear. ”Im-I-I-Im so sorry! I…I won kill them! ” The cats in the nursery waited for the young tom to run further away. Grumbleeyes chuckled. ”So naive. ” ”So what you said wasn true, ” asked Willowcry. ”Well half of it, ” Grumbleeyes replied, ”You see, I didn actually attack anyone in the nursery because of that same exact tale my mom told me when I was just a little kit. ” Back outside, Blackfur walked out of the leaders den to see a mess of blood on the camp grounds. ”ENOUGH, ” he yowled loudly. Cats stopped in their fighting and looked up at Blackfur. Blackfur looked down at all the cats who were pinned down, had claws stabbing their stomachs and throats, or bites deep on their opponents legs….Swiftfoot dead on the ground. ”Why are we fighting? ” ”They attacked us first, ” hissed Tinycreek. Blackfur looked around. These were Shadow Clan cats. ”Cats of Shadow Clan, I would like to ask, who gave this order to attack? ” ”Our deputy, Weaselstripe, ” meowed a tom. Oh Swiftfoot, what should I say? thought Blackfur. ”Oh yeah? Well what did Graystar say? Infact, was she even gone long enough to put Weaselstripe in charge? Where is that son of a fox anyways? ” The Shadow Clan cats looked around. Weaselstripe was not there. But he said he was leading the charge. ”Go back to camp, ” Blackfur meowed. The cats of Shadow Clan released their opponents and left the camp. Most of the she-cats began to leave the nursery. Flowerpedal walked up next to Blackfur as Gingerpaw tended to the wounds of the warriors and apprentices. ”Are you still going to the moon pool to receive your nine lives, ” asked Flowerpedal. Blackfur paused and thought. ”Give me a few more moments. And then Ill go. Now go and tend to the injured cats. ” Flowerpedal nodded with understanding and walked back to her den. Blackfur sat and groomed his fur, preparing himself for his leadership ceremony.
