'Darkstripe' A smooth caring voice whispered into my ear, It sounded...So familiar.' Mother?' I thought with surprise and was shocked when the voice responded.'Open your eyes,Darkstripe.' I slowly did as I was told and open my eyes. My heart nearly stopped when I saw my mother infront of me. Her pale grey fur was sleek and shimmering with stars. Her unusal blue eyes shone like twin moons, Their expression was that of sadness, pity and grief. "M-Mother?" I asked carefully not believing my eyes.'Hello Darkstripe.' She replied though it was filled with no emotion. "Where are we?" I asked looking around,The half that my mother was on had lush green grass and a forest behind her. But my paws felt nothing but soil and twigs behind me was a Black forest that emited darkness." We're at the border that seprates Starclan from the dark forest." Willowpelt replied."Starclan and the Dark forest?" I questioned but that means that i'm...dead. Now I remember I was trying to kill that worthless kittypet when his stupid friend killed if she could sense my thought, Willowpelt said "We are here because you have been judged by starclan." 'Great maybe I can see my father.' I thought with excitement, But next words that Willowpelt said shattered my thought."Darkstripe,You are now a Dark forest cat." "What! What do you mean!?" I exclaimed angrily.' How can Starclan do this?
"You've done to many bad deeds Darkstripe,You followed Tigerclaw in his lust to rule the forest,You plotted with him to get rid of Ravenpaw,You nearly killed sorreltail your own sister," Willowpelt's voice took a bitter tone when she said this and her eyes flash with anger and hatred."And you tried to kill Firestar." I flinched slightly at the words but my anger took over."Tigerclaw was and is the true leader of Thunderclan not that kittypet. And Sorreltail got she deserves." I hissed. Willowpelt's claws came out but she sighed and turned. "Goodbye Darkstripe,May you realize what you've caused." she muttered,before she got up and walked away. "Coward!" I exclaimed after her. I tried to run after but as soon as I step on the grass my paw burned. "You're going to abandon your own son!?" I screeched. Willowpelt only stopped for a second before disappearing into the forest.
I felt hot rage spread from my ears to my tailtip.'How dare she?' The thought with bitterness,How dare my own mother turn her back on me. How dare Starclan turn their back on me? But I realized something...I don't need starclan. As long as I follow Tigerclaw,I'm fine."I don't need you Willowpelt. I don't need any of you." I whispered before turning and let the Darkness wrap its self around me. When I opened my eyes again,I was in the middle of a forest with tall trees that casted shadows onto the ground. A Deep fog circled around me making it hard to see.'So this is the dark forest.' I thought as walked. Dispite the evil power it radiated I felt refreshed here. 'Tigerstar has to be in here.' I thought trying to catch his scent. "Hey!" I instantly turned and clawed at who spoke. But I was tackled and pinned down by a another tom. I glared up at the tom and hissed slighty. His fur was ragged and a light tabby grey,His left ear was torn and he had a scar on muzzle. His ice blue eyes glared into mine. "Are you Darkstripe?" the tom hissed.
"That depends,Who want to know?" I hissed right back,I would have flung this cat off of me by now but I wanted to see if he knew where Tigerstar was. The tabby signed with anyonnace ."I swear Tigerclaw has the worst taste is allies." he muttered." sent you?" I asked."Yes,Tigerclaw sent me." He replied emphazinging the claw."Now come waiting." The tom got off of me and walked off. "Come on,Move it!" The tom hissed. I didn't trust him but I did trust Tigerstar...So I followed him into the darkness.
