A/N: No flames, 'kay? Hope you guys like it! xp

Prologue. Forbidden fruit: scarlet peach

A cat yowled.

The sun was low. The sky was high. The red light of dawn made a ginger she-cat even more orange as her penetrator approached.

"I love you. I've always loved you."

The dark tabby he-cat lifted his face into the light to reveal a pair of dazzling amber eyes.

"Tigerstar, this isn't right! What about the clan?"

Tigerstar chuckled softly and then replied, "All four— well five if you count SkyClan… All five clans can sink into the earth and WROT for all I care! My goal has been you from the moment I first saw you beyond the safety of your garden fence. I thought I had no chance with those twolegs protecting you, but my luck turned when you wandered into our territory, and even became one of us. I had to rule them, rule you. Destroy them, conquer you. Do you understand yet, Firestar?

Chapter 1. Fateful encounter and Distant plotting

Tigerclaw yawned as he patrolled the ThunderClan border with the clan deputy, Redtail, and his own apprentice, Ravenpaw. Same trees. Same path. Same dumb cats. Then our hero(Tigerclaw ;) ) saw a young ginger tom sitting just beyond the boundary of a twoleg's fence. The tom was simply cleaning himself, quietly, peacefully, but watching him awoke a dark ambition in Tigerclaw. He had to rule every cat, everything. If he could take control of the world he could have his way with this one cat, and at that moment he vowed that he would do so.

Five books and a prologue later, our hero(now Tigerstar ;) ) was talking to a little angry cat named Scourge in the rain. He was talking about a plot.

"I have this excellent plot. I'm enlisting for your help!"

"Well, what do I get in return?"

"All the catmint you can snort! Now, pay attention. I need you to take these ketchup packets…"

"…and pretend to kill me nine times. I need to fake my own death to have the element of surprise on my side. You see, I am in love with a young tom named Firestar, and I'm-"

"Being gay is against the warrior code! You can't love another tom!"

"I plan on changing that."

"You CANNOT alter the warrior code!"

Tigerstar grinned a very evil grin.

"The warrior code is not what I plan on changing."

A/N: Okay, that's all I'm writing for now. The next chapter will be called "The Plot Commences" and will probably be released by next Tuesday. Tell me what you think. Thanks :P
