Prologue
Screeches filled the unnatural shaped hollow as a battle raged within it. Solid cats fought with shadowy figures, and many of the living lay dead on the ground. There was a dark tabby tom, his amber eyes still open, staring death in the face. Another cat, a light gray she-cat with her ear pricked, lay on the edge of camp, deep cuts running along her body. One by one each living cat got pinned by the shadows, the blood seeping from their wounds making them weak.
One large tabby shadow, a strong resemblance to the younger one dead on the ground, had pinned a smaller ginger tom, though he was still fighting hard to break free. The tom said "The Dark Forest has beat the all mighty Thunderclan! Though shown to other clans, we will give you no mercy! This clan shall pay for what they have done! Starting with you, kittypet" he spat the last word at the tom beneath him, hate glowing in the shadow's amber eyes. Grinning slyly he slowly cut the ginger cat's neck, watching the blood flow out with his life.
"No! Firestar!" said a sandy she-cat. Pushing off her enemy she lunged at the shadow, claws outstretched. But the large tom easily pushed her aside, laughing slightly at her desperate attempt to save her mate.
"Cant you see Sandstorm? Its over." he meowed, a snarl hidden in his voice
"Its never over Tigerstar. Thunderclan will always fight against you" Sandstorm spat, struggling to her paws.
Tigerstar slowly padded up to her, observing her. He easily pushed her to the ground and surveyed her face. "Sandstorm, how proud you always were. Always loyal to your so called clan, never giving up. Too bad your precious clan will be no more. But I wont make you watch them die. Instead, Ill let them watch you slowly leave them instead" and with one swift movement he ended her life as well.
Tossing her aside he gazed proudly down at his warriors "Kill all of Firestar's kin. Cloudtail, Leafpool, and all their mates or past mates. Take the young kits and bring them to other clans. Dont hesitate to take other lives if needed" Tigerstar ordered his followers and padded out of camp, leaving his warriors to do the work.
About half the shadows jumped off their enemy, but some stayed on top, looking down at their prey. A strong white tom was struggling, trying to get out of a dark tabby's grip. Another cat, white with ginger patches, hissed at the cat on top of her, her already mauled face bloody from new cuts. One by one they stopped moving, a pool of blood surrounding them. Another cat, a tabby she-cat, had regret in her eyes as the life seeped away. She seemed to mouth the word "Crowfeather" before dying, and a life time of memories clouded her eyes. The only remaining struggling cat was a golden tabby tom, who seemed to be unscathed. He threw the tabby cat with cold, blue eyes on top of him and pounced, anger blazing in his eyes.
Then a small, gray tom rasped "Lionblaze...dont" The golden tabby turned his head to the voice, his eyes questioning
"Its better to not fight...not to hurt our clan more..." he coughed, small drops of blood escaping his mouth. Lionblaze opened his mouth to protest, but then only nodded, steeping off the cat. Without hesitating, the tabby tom launched himself at the golden tom's neck, biting into it deeply. Lionblaze collapsed, his withering body the only thing moving in the still hollow.
"Nice kill Hawkfrost, he had to surrender before you could beat him" said a gray-and-white tom, contempt in his eyes
"I'd like to see you do better Thistleclaw. Now go collect those kits, I heard one was named after your own" Hawkfrost shot back, kicking the dead body aside. Thistleclaw narrowed his eyes at his fellow warrior, but walked into the nursery, easily pushing aside the queen guarding her kits. Picking up three snow white kits in his jaw and another dark tabby with patches on his back, the tom lumbered out of the nursery, avoiding the eyes of the other shadows. As the Dark Forest cats streamed out of the den, only one sound was emitted from the defeated clan
"Forestkit! They took my Forestkit!" an anguished cry came from the nursery.
