Iceheart's dark destiny
A full moon was shining in the night sky, along with all of the stars of Silverpelt, the home of the Starclan ancestors. Watching the full moon was a white she-cat with ice blue eyes. Her eyes shone in the moonlight like sapphires. She was watching it with a hateful glare, wishing that Starclan would have helped her all those moons ago.
"Starclan abandoned me and left me alone to grieve for my family," she sneered. "I don't even think you deserve to exist. The Dark Forest gave me power, not you!" She yowled at the moon.
"Don't you know that's blasphemy?" A starry tortoiseshell she-cat with pale amber eyes padded over to where the white cat was.
"Get out of here fox-dung! Why are you here?" The white cat mewed questioningly to the Starclan cat.
"Iceheart, I know you have gone through a lot of trauma and despair in your life, but your clan is in peril." The tortoiseshell she-cat meowed back to Iceheart.
Iceheart bit back an insult, but continued to question her. "Why are you here Spottedleaf? Why?"
"I have come to give you a prophecy, beware the darkness that lies in the heart of Ice." And with that, she faded back into the stars.
One moon later
Iceheart and another cat with tabby fur and blue eyes sat beside her, his blue eyes as dark as hers were.
"So Hawkfrost, what's the plan again?" Iceheart meowed quietly, her voice quivered with concern.
"You become leader and we'll give you powers you have never dreamed of before, not to mention, becoming leader of Snowclan" Hawkfrost mewed back to her.
"Those fox hearts aren't going to know what's hit them." Iceheart meowed triumphantly, her eyes cold as ice.
"Yes, indeed," a voice behind her, a huge, tabby tom with burning amber eyes padded out of the shadows and sat next to Iceheart, opposite of Hawkfrost. "This will destroy the clans of the forest, descendants of a few even more cowardly cats."
"Tigerstar, Spottedleaf gave me a prophecy." Iceheart then mewed, breaking the silence.
"Well then? What is it?"
"Beware the darkness that lies in the heart of ice." Iceheart's mew quivered with fear.
Tigerstar then countered "Do not listen to them Iceheart, they were always cowards." Then his voice grew darker. "Or do you want to believe Starclan's lies?"
"Me, believe them? In their dreams!" Iceheart spat. Then looked around the shadowy forest, the forest was cold, dark, a cat's hell. Only the eerie light of strange toadstool-like plants seemed to emanate the eternal darkness, in this living hell, not even the stars or the moon emanated any light, just a shadowy darkness that lasted forever. Iceheart shuddered at the thought of having to spend the rest of her afterlife here. But then again, the Dark Forest cats did offer her power that she simply couldn't refuse. She was one of them now, and she will do her part for both her clan and the Dark Forest.
She then woke back up, back into her snowy marshland that seemed to go on forever, while the forest cats had warmth and plenty of prey, her clan didn't and she was getting sick of it. It was time that she did something about it. The Dark Forest cats suggested that she should wait until she is made deputy, if she was made deputy.
Five moons later
The sky was dark, the night was cold, it was in the middle of Leafbare, Robinstar was suffering from greencough, the whole of Snowclan was concerned for his health, he was getting old, and their deputy, Moonfrost, died from a Lakeclan attack, he was to announce the new deputy. He then leaped on top of the Icerock and mewed his usual meeting call.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the Icerock." Robinstar's hoarse mew rang to the whole camp, or at least those who could still hear him. All the cats gathered alongside the Icerock.
"I will announce the new deputy, I say these words before Starclan that the spirits of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve my choice. The new deputy of Snowclan is Iceheart."
All the cats cheered for Iceheart, her white pelt and blue eyes gleaming in the sunlight, her eyes glowing with kindness, only to hide the tyrant within.
She saw the Dark Forest cats behind her clanmates, their eyes glimmering with ambition. She gave an unnoticeable smile, 'don't worry, this clan will be mine soon`.
The next morning, the sky was blue, and a new layer of snow had fallen in the night, Iceheart padded out of the warriors den, she knew what she had to do, she had to kill Robinstar, or else her clan would fall, and the forest cats would have her territory. She knew what to do. She padded into the leader's den, Robinstar was awake, his eyes flashed with kindness, and then grew dim with concern.
"What's wrong Iceheart?" Robinstar mewed.
Iceheart replied, "I think I should put my deputy privileges to good use. I'll organise a patrol."
"Okay, I'll let you organise the dawn patrols." Robinstar agreed, oblivious to the danger he was putting his own clan in.
"Thank you." Iceheart dipped her head in respect as she padded out of the den. As she headed to the clearing, Tigerstar appeared beside her, in a trail of black smoke.
"Shall we put our plan into action?" He meowed as he and Iceheart padded out of the camp.
"Yes, now is the time." Iceheart replied.
Tigerstar gave a sympathetic look, "I know what you've been through, and your whole life was a fight for survival, thanks to those incompetent mouse brains that call themselves clan cats."
Just then, Iceheart's eyes turned blood red with rage as she screeched her answer through gritted teeth. "Yes and now they're going to pay for what they put this clan through!"
"Calm down." Tigerstar mewed softly.
A white paw with unsheathed claws ran down his face as he winced and staggered as Iceheart's claws met with his fur and flesh.
"Well let's see if you'd like what I've been through!" Iceheart's screech of pure fury and anger echoed through the snowy territory.
"All my life, those greedy mouse brains down there in the forest have been gorging themselves on plump birds and rabbits, while we've had to live with scraps! Well now, Snowclan is getting revenge on what they did to us. They forced us out of the forest, so that they could hunt on what was our territory and forced us here! The worst place that they could possibly send us to! Well now, not only are we going to claim our part of the forest back, but all of the forest for ourselves! We will destroy the four clans, and any survivors will be forced to join our clan, or die a slow, painful death!"
Tigerstar looked stunned at her fury, then winced in pain at the scratch that she had delivered him. She had clawed him on his cheek and embedded in the claw marks were shards of ice.
"I think that you are ready to become an official dark forest warrior."
Iceheart's blue eyes brightened in excitement, then mewed darkly "Really? Finally, I will then be able to kill all who stand in my way."
Tigerstar replied "Yes. And the dark forest will help you." Iceheart eyed him suspiciously, as if he had something more to say, then she spoke "Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Tigerstar's eyes narrowed, then finally mewed "No, not for now. But I will show you to the black entity and she will see if you are worthy to become a dark warrior."
"Who is the black entity?" Iceheart asked.
"We are forbidden to speak her name outside the dark forest. She is the founder of the dark forest and the first cat to rebel against Starclan, although her cat form has withered away and now she is now nothing more than a shadow of what she was. But she can revert back to it if she chooses." Tigerstar answered.
Well, what do you think? I really hope you appreciate my new story.
