Okay, unfortunately… I haven't read Mapleshade's Vengeance. Warriors Wiki it is!

Hope you enjoy this chapter!

Bluestar called all the cats of StarClan for a meeting by the Silverpool. "All the votes of StarClan have been put in," she announced. "we will revive Mapleshade as a kit, and let her live a second life."

Groggily, Yellowfang moaned, "This is unimportant. It's not Tuesday, Thursay, or a new episode of Game Of Thrones. It's on hiatus, remember?"

Appledusk moaned, "I never loved her anyway."

"Be quiet," meowed Lionheart harshly. "The whole fandom thinks that you should be the one in the Dark Forest."

"But how?" Spottedleaf asked. "We have to send an omen to tell the cats to name her Maplekit, or else things'll get confusing. And will we call her Mapleshade or Maplekit?"

Bluestar hesitated, and then responded, "We'll call her Maplekit."

"One more thing," mentioned Whitestorm, sitting quietly beside Bluestar. "What Clan?"

"We'll make it… ThunderClan, her original Clan. And we have to make it modern, as well. In the Vision of Shadows arc."

The StarClan cats peered below the clouds. Under a maple tree is a smoky-gray tabby she-cat, panting and wheezing.

"Cinderheart is about to give birth to more kits," Bluestar explained.

"More?" Hollyleaf meowed. "Wow, my littermate is a mouse-brain."

A golden tom with a nicked ear—Lionblaze—padded up under them maple tree and witnessed Cinderheart give birth to three beautiful kits—two she-cats and a tom.

"I want to name the tortoiseshell one Maplekit, for the maple tree she was born under," Cinderheart announced. She glanced at her mate. "Hold on—do you remember the story about Mapleshade?" Before letting Lionblaze answer, she continued, "I want to name the other two kits Applekit and Reedkit."

Hollyleaf spit out her popcorn sparrow.

"Ooh! Drama!" exclaimed Spottedleaf, rubbing her paws together. "Maplekit —I mean -shade- is going to be ticked off."

"Are you sure about that?" Lionblaze asked down below. "I mean, you know… it might lead up to something bad."

"Oh, I'm sure it'll be fine," Cinderheart meowed.

Three moons later…

"We haven't heard much of Cinderheart and her new kits, have we?" Yellowfang meowed, munching on a chubby mouse.

"I've checked in occasionally," Spottedleaf mewed back. "Very dramatic, you know."

Down below…

Maplekit bounced up and down excitedly. "Cinderheart," she mewed, "can I go hunting?"

Cinderheart chuckled and licked Maplekit's head. "You're only three moons old. Why don't you go play with Applekit and Reedkit?"

Maplekit's mind clicked into overdrive. Applekit… Appledusk. Reedkit… Reedshine.

"Where are those traitors?" she hissed. "They betrayed me. I'll kill him a second time, the useless piece of crow-food!"

Cinderheart's blue eyes widened. "Now, I get you kits have feuds—"

"This isn't a mere argument," Maplekit interrupted. "They're no good, rotten, stinking fox dung that can rot in the Dark Forest!"

"Oh, I get it!" Cinderheart exclaimed. "This is a game—I see." She nudged Maplekit with her tail. "Go on and have fun."

Maplekit growled. I'll destroy them again, she thought. Then I'll finally exact my vengeance and wreak my hatred on them.

Back up in StarClan…

"Harsh words," meowed Whitestorm.

"Stop breaking the fourth wall," muttered Yellowfang. "Just watch."

And back down again…

Maplekit spotted Applekit and Reedkit playing moss-ball over in the corner of the nursery. "You," she growled, ready to lunch lunge.

Applekit focused his green eyes upon Maplekit. "Wanna play?" he asked, nudging the moss-ball towards his sister.

Maplekit pounced onto Applekit, claws unsheathed, and started yelling, "Why did you do this to me?" and "I've killed you once, I'll do it again," repeatedly.

Applekit got only a few scratches on his fur before Leafshade interrupted. "Hold on," he mewed, separating the two with his tail. "What's going on here?"

"She attacked me!" Applekit whimpered feebly.

"That's the Lionblaze blood in you," Leafshade meowed with a grin. "I've got it too-just don't hurt each other." And with that, he strutted away to join a hunting patrol with Thornclaw.

Maplekit was about to attack again, but—

Up in StarClan…

-the cats in StarClan decided to interfere.

"That was an unprofessional cutoff," Bluestar meowed. She floated her spiritual form down to the land of the cats and pushed the two apart.

"I didn't know we could do that," Hollyleaf exclaimed in shock.

Maplekit walked away sulkily.

And another three moons later…

Maplepaw had just gotten apprenticed to Thornclaw, along with Applepaw and Reedpaw. She was going on a hunting patrol.

"This is boring," moaned Honeyfern. "Can't we skip to when she's a warrior?"

"Patience, Honeyfern," meowed Bluestar. "We're going to have to wait another chapter for that."

A/N: And… that's it! Sorry it was short, but I did the best I could for a couple of days. I deleted the original Chapter 1 and replaced it with this. (If a Chapter 2 is out, don't read this blurb.)

I'll continue Mapleshade/-paw's story throughout this fanfiction, but now I'm going to start a second arc inside this fanfiction. So, let's go over what's about to happen.

I'm not going to reset the votes, but I'm going to only not count Mapleshade's votes. So if you forgot, here are the votes:

Snowfur: 2 votes

Tigerstar: 1 vote

Honeyfern: 1 vote

Stonefur: 1 vote

Spottedleaf: 1 vote

Hawkfrost: 1 vote

Snowbush: 1 vote

Flametail: 1 vote

Next chapter coming out 10/1. Be sure to vote in the other three days!
