Ivypool looked at Hawkfrost with pleading eyes. She had to find out more about the Dark Forest. She had to.

"Hawkfrost, when is Tigerstar going to make me a Dark Forest warrior? I'm eager to teach the new apprentices battle skills." Hawkfrost looked at her with something else, not the usual glare. Now, it was more like pure curiosity.

"What do you want to learn these battle skills for, apprentice?"

"I want revenge." Hawkfrost looked surprised. Ivypool was proud of herself as she formulated a story.

"Yes! I want revenge! Dovewing was always the more favored sibling. Everyone thinks she's so perfect, so much better. No one ever notices me. But when she's dead, they'll see me for who I am instead of Dovewing's sister." She tried to keep herself from stuttering, desperately hoping that Hawkfrost wouldn't see that she was lying.

A surprised meow emanated from him, before a hushed purr rose from his throat.

"You are ready. I will speak to Tigerstar." Ivypool was about to respond when a new voice overcame her mind.

"Ivypool, are you awake? Ivypool?" Dovewing shook her awake.

"It's almost sunhigh! Come on, Firestar wants you on a patrol with Brambleclaw and Spiderleg." Dovewing's tail flicked from side to side impatiently. Ivypool sighed and rolled out of her nest. Another dreary day of clan life had begun.


That night, as she lay in her nest, she tried to fall asleep. But she was far too nervous. What would Tigerstar say? Would she become a Dark Forest warrior? And, if she did, how would she live with herself? She would be training her clanmates to fight eachother! Suddenly, a chill ran up her spine. Hawkfrost whispered in her ear.

"It is time, apprentice. You will become a Dark Forest warrior." Little did she know what it meant. His claws unsheathed, and he slashed them across her throat. She was dead before she could scream.


So, what did you think? I'm sorry if it's not that good, but this is my first fanficction. Please R&R!
