I love Darkstripe so I wrote a one-shot about him!
"Boo!" Darkstripe jumped, his tail shot up. He turned, Brokenstar?
"Wait," Darkstripe meowed out loud, "If you're here isn't this..."
"The Dark Forest, yes," Brokenstar said lazily as he perched on a gray rock.
Darkstripe inhaled heavily, "No I'm not supposed to be here! Tigerstar said we would go to Starclan and live out the rest of our days as heros!" He yelled looking around frantically for a way out.
Brokenstar rolled his eyes, "Well Tigerstar lied. I'm surprised you didn't see it, after all you are supposed to be a Dark Forest cat."
Darkstripe whipped his head around eyes blazing with anger, "You peice of fox-dung I can't believe you would sa-"
"Darkstripe? Darkstripe talk to me!" a voice yelled, "Don't just stand there!" Darkstripe blinked, what? Suddenly the Dark Forest disappeared and in it's place was a meadow.
Grass covered in flowers and weeds stretched as far as the eye could see. Darkstripe blinked, he turned and saw a she-cat with a sliver and white pelt.
"Darkstripe come on they're coming!" the cat yelled, an urgent look in her dark blue eyes.
"What?" he whispered, "who?"
"The rats! Come on Darkstripe who wreaked your memory?!" Suddenly out of nowhere almost forty rats appeared on the meadow, biting and clawing whatever they could get their paws on. The silver she-cat fought like mad, slashing anything at came in her path. Suddenly she went under in a pile of rats. "Darkstripe!" she screamed.
Darkstripe strained his eyes he couldn't see her anymore. "After all you are supposed to be a Dark Forest cat," Brokenstar's words rang in his mind. "No I'm not supposed to be here! Tigerstar said we would go to Starclan!"
"Help!" the she-cat could barely be heard under the pile of rats. This is your chance to change that, Darkstripe thought. You can become a part of Starclan.
He let out a low growl and lunged into the pile. He bit everything sight, being careful not to accidentally hurt the she-cat. He slashed at a muddy colored rat larger than the rest and in three blows killed him. Suddenly all the rats stopped and looked at him with angry eyes, but they had no leader now there was nothing they could do. Finally the stare broke and all the rats went running.
Darkstripe breathed a heavy sigh, then he noticed the she-cat lying on the blood stained grass. He padded over to her. When he stood over her, her dark blue eyes flicked open. "Are, are you ok?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said weakly, trying to smile despite the obvious pain in her face and body.
"Remind me," he asked, "what's your name again?"
"Darkstripe," she giggled, "last time I checked you knew my name, but alright, it's Ivypool."
"Ivypool," he repeated, "Right, uh, here let me carry you." He slid Ivypool onto his back and began to walk in the opposite direction of the rats.
"Darkstripe."
"Yeah?"
"Thank you." Darkstripe turned to look at her. She smiled then faded away until he had nothing on his back.
"Ivypool?!" he yelled, "Ivypool?!" he dropped down into the grass, "Ivypool?"
Suddenly the meadow began to fade and in it's place a bright light appeared, with thousands of cats all gathered around him. Just then a tortoiseshell strode out of the group.
"Spottedleaf? But I thought you were dead?"
"Darkstripe, I am."
"You mean?"
"Yes Darkstripe, by saving Ivypool you have earned your place in Starclan. Now follow me." she got up and began to walk away.
"Spottedleaf."
"Yes?"
"Who is Ivypool?"
"An important cat from the future Darkstripe." She turned and ran out of view, Darkstripe smiled and followed. He had finally made it to Starclan.
Hope u enjoyed! :)
