Blood's Reign

Hey ya peoples, I'm back! This is basically just Bloodkit's adventure as he rises to take over the clans! -chuckles evilly- If you haven't read my other story this might be a little confusing, but you'll probably catch on, though I highly suggest that you R&R my other story.

Note: I started writing this story before Eclipse came out, so obviously Lionblaze, Hollyleaf and Jayfeather along with many other current warriors are still apprentices.

Disclaimer: Erin Hunter owns it all except for the plot and Bloodkit, Nightkit, and Shadowkit.

On with the Story

Chapter 1: The Beginning of the End

This is the story of how a single kit rose out of the shadows into greatness. Like many great ones before him, he had to overcome countless challenges and prove his power over and over again, whether for good... or evil. But mostly evil. And it was at the moment that he heard a single sentence that his great journey to awesomeness began, and the clans would change forever...

"From this day forward, until you receive your warrior name, I now pronounce you, Bloodpaw!"

Firestar decreed, looking down at the dark ginger apprentice nervously. Bloodpaw (A/n: For those of you who read my other story, Bloodkit threatened his mother, Daisy, to change his name back to Bloodkit because it sounds way cooler then Sharpkit)listened to his clan mates cheering his name over and over again, and smirked. He felt a sense of power coming over him, the sense of satisfaction that he got from feeling superior. It felt... good. Then Firestar had to go and ruin everything in an instant.

"Bloodpaw, Berrynose will be your mentor." Bloodpaw suppressed a yowl of sheer anger. Berrynose was a weakling. He would probably be no challenge in battle training because he was so afraid of the ginger apprentice. Berrynose was pushed forward from the crowd and reluctantly bent to touch noses with his demented apprentice.

Berrynose's pov

OMG I can't believe I actually have to mentor this demented freak, never the less touch him! Great Starclan! We're almost halfway there. This kit scares the crap outta me! What, why is he smiling! He's smiling! Starclan help me! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna be killed by a demented apprentice all because he hates my guts! I'm gonna die! We're all gonna die! Doomed! We're doomed! Doomed to die from a demented kit who's gonna kill us in our sleep. I can't do this! DOOMED! I AM DOOMED! HELP ME STARCLAN I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THIS KIT IS MY HALF BROTHER! MY KIN IS GONNA KILL ME AND DANCE ON MY GRAVE THEN COME AND HAUNT ME FROM BEYOND THE BEYOND! BUT FIRST HE'S GONNA HAUNT ME IN MY NIGHT MARES AND NOW HE'LL HAUNT ME DURING THE DAY TOO! THEN, I'LL BE SO OVER RUN WITH EXAUSTION THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO DEFEND MYSELF WHEN HE MURDERS ME! HOLY STARCLAN WE'RE ALMOST TOUCHING!!

Bloodpaw's pov

Just when they were about to make contact, Bloodpaw saw the white scar that ran across Berrynose's nose. He had given him that scar when they had first met. Bloodpaw smiled, and Berrynose, fainted in fright. Pathetic weakling. Bloodpaw mentally growled.

He shrugged and stood next to his siblings, Nightpaw, a gray she-cat with blue eyes, and Shadowpaw, a solid black tom with amber eyes.

After the ceremony, the three new apprentices met up with their mentors. Bloodpaw had to hunt down Berrynose because he was in hiding.

"So Berrynose, what are we doing first." Bloodpaw asked, looking up at his mentor with his piercing green eyes just to scare him.

"I-I'm g-going t-to sh-show you the t-territory now." Berrynose stammered, avoiding his green gaze. Bloodpaw growled lowly in his throat. He had sneaked out of the nursery and explored the territory so many times that he could find his way in it if he was blind and deaf.

"We're going to do battle training." Bloodpaw growled.

Berrynose gulped. "Ok."

Much, much later...

Bloodpaw sat in the train hollow, barely out of breath while Berrynose lied on the ground gasping for air. He was covered in gashes and bleeding all over. The hollow was covered in blood, and they had only been training for an hour or two. Bloodpaw looked over at his suffering mentor and nearly snarled. Why had he been stuck with this mousebrain for a mentor when his siblings got Brambleclaw and Hazeltail? It just wasn't fair! Eventually, Berrynose managed to struggle to his feet and crawl back to camp without bleeding to death. Bloodpaw found his sister standing by the apprentices den talking with Icepaw. Shadowpaw was off doing... whatever he did when he was alone. Shadowpaw was weird and silent that way. Coincidentally, Bloodpaw heard a yelp from across the clearing, and saw Shadowpaw chasing his mentor, Brambleclaw, across the clearing with his rusty, trusty flamethrower in paw. Not again...

Firestar managed to catch the young pyro before he managed to burn his new mentor to a crisp.

"Well Shadowpaw, any explanations?" Firestar asked. Shadowpaw, true to his nature, said nothing, and his face stayed expressionless.

"Shadowpaw," Firestar sighed, "I have no choice but to punish you."

Bloodpaw growled and unsheathed his claws, no one punished his brother for some stupid reason like trying to assassinate the Thunderclan deputy... again. Bloodpaw stalked over to his leader, and looked him in the eyes.

"No, you could let him go, and pretend that this whole thing had never happened." Bloodpaw said, in a very icy calm voice that was famous for driving fear into the very hearts of badgers.

"I-I guess it wasn't that big of a deal." Firestar muttered nervously.

"You can just let him go free." Bloodpaw said in the same voice, not letting his gaze leave the Thunderclan leader's face.

"I-I'll just let him go free then..." Firestar said, nearly hypnotized with fear.

"Come on then," Bloodpaw motioned to his brother.

They rejoined their sister by the apprentices den, and sat down to share tongs.

"So, what did you do to Firestar this time Bloodpaw?" Nightpaw asked.

"I merely suggested that he let Shadowpaw go with a warning since it wasn't that bad of an offense." Bloodpaw answered casually.

"You did the voice hypnotize thingy again, didn't you?"

"Maybe..."

Nightpaw sighed. "Mom told you not to do that."

"Well guess what, MOM'S NOT THE BOSS ANY MORE!" Bloodpaw snapped. Why does my sister have to be such a goody, goody. No wonder she was on the Alliance when we played -strike that- OWNED World of Warcraft.

"What about Berrynose?" She asked. Instinctively, their gaze fell on the medicine cat's den, where Leafpool was tending to Berrynose from the earlier training session. A few minutes later, Berrynose emerged, completely covered in cobwebs.

"Um... Never mind. Just, please don't do it often." Nightpaw begged, before walking into the apprentices den, followed by Shadowpaw.

Bloodpaw sighed looked up at the sky. This apprenticeship was pointless! He could already defeat most of Thunderclan in combat, and hunt with outstanding proficiency. He was even more powerful than Firestar.

That, is when the thought hit him. The single idea that set off a long chain reaction of ideas that would later become a plan. A plan that would change the future of the clans and later the start of the Apocalypse. Maybe I should be clan leader. The thought baffled him. Clan leader... he played with the thought in his mind for a while, considering the powerful role he could posses. But then, why just Thunderclan? The other clans are just as -if not more- weak as Thunderclan. Why stop there? Bloodpaw smiled.

Not sure if I'll continue. R&R and tell me what you think.

Yes, today Thunderclan, tomorrow, the world!
