NEW STORY! I'll try to make this one 50x better than Death Awaits...

And I PROMISE I won't make another troll ending. AND there won't be so much... You know... Death...

But anyways, this is a seriously great idea I got after learning in Civics about Anarchys... Anarchies...? Anarchys.

This is about where many small groups of cats (with no rules or their own set of rules) basically fight each other. There are many groups, and no territory, unless they claim it for themselves (or take it from another group).

Its basically an anarchy.

Blue Shade.

The most feared Group. 25 cats. 25 whole cats and counting are in it. 2 of them rule. It's like some sort of Oligarchy...

But this forest is no oligarchy.

Red Fire is the group that Whiteclaw is in. The single least feared. Maybe not least... There are many Groups out there. Anyways, there are only 3 cats are included:

Whiteclaw, of course.

Red Shade (yes they can have non-warrior/tribe names), Whiteclaws mother, and

Lilypool, Whiteclaws expecting mate.

They have a small patch of land, a field with a farm, which is surrounded by Blue Shade land. You aren't forced to claim land, in fact, there is more unclaimed land than claimed land, which says something because there is a lot of land out there.

For a peculiar reason, Blue Shade never attempts to take Red Fire land. Blue Shade is known for being aggressive. They have not ceased to kill out many Groups.

White Sky. LOST.

Trees and Leaves. LOST.

Great Oak. Few members left. Before Green Winter, they were the 2nd most powerful tribe

Green Winter has only 15 cats, and is a friend to Red Fire... Or was, until they were destroyed.

There are too many groups to count, really. Nobody knows all them.

Anyway, this is the story of Red Fire:

Whiteclaw woke up in the barn to see his mate sleeping besides him.

Red Shade must be hunting.

"Good morning, Lilypool." He licked her cheek.

"Good morning..."

There was a spark of worry in Lilypools eyes.

"What's wrong?" Whiteclaw asked.

"The kits could be coming soon." Lilypool told him.

"Don't worry. Countless of she-cats have kitted before, and have been ok." He reassured her.

"But countless of she-cats haven't been ok." She retorted.

Whiteclaw snorted. "You're being hysterical."

"Don't tell me this is your first argument." Red Shade walked in with a mouse and a vole. "We didn't get too lucky today. We may have to ration these."

"The kits won't make it much easier." Lilypool snorted.

"Calm down, will you? The kits aren't gonna be born for another half moon, and won't be eating real food for StarClan knows how long?" Whiteclaw snapped.

(And yes, there is a StarClan in this world... it's just a bit more complicated, something I haven't quite come up with just yet.)

There was a small moment of silence.

Red Shade sighed.

"With Winter (yes, they call the seasons what we call them.) coming so soon, and kits... We're the least feared group out here, and Blue Shade surrounds us. We could become their slaves! How can we survive?"

"By growing." Whiteclaw said. "We used to be powerful, back when I was a kit, and then Blue Shade took most of our lives. It can happen again. There's a lot of Loners out there (in this world, Loners are cats that aren't part of a group.)"

"Yeah, but what about the fact that we're surrounded by Blue Shade, and literally can't get anywhere unless we take the tiny chunk of land they gave us to leave, and can take at any time?" Lilypool argued.

"They won't. They wouldn't." Red Shade told her.

"Well then, why don't we go and claim some land, and hopefully find some Loners?" Whiteclaw said.

"Or, we can find Great Oak!" Red Shade said.

"What do you mean? Who's that?" Lilypool and Whiteclaw questioned.

"They were once a powerful group. Long ago, they were the 2nd most feared. Blue Shade killed them off, and now they are a tiny group like us."

"Alright, let's go!" Whiteclaw declared.

The 3 cats patted down the path in their small territory.

Once they reached the lake at the end, they smelled their surroundings.

"To the left is unowned land. To the right is..." Whiteclaw sniffed. "Blackclaw."

They took the left route.

"Who are you?" A cat said, after a while of trotting.

"Same for you." Whiteclaw snorted.

"I'm Darkface. I'm a Loner, looking for a group."

"What was your old group?" Lilypool asked.

His face darkened. "I was exiled out of Blue Shade, long ago. I seek revenge."

Whiteclaw growled. "We hate Blue Shade. We have a small amount of territory, a field, almost completely surrounded by Blue Shade. You may join, if you like."

Darkface thought for a moment.

"Sure." He finally said.

"Alright. Come on, crew, let's go home?"

"So..." Darkface asked after an awkward silence. "What's your group name?"

"Red Fire." Red Shade told him.

Darkfaces eyes widened. "You guys were powerful back in the day... what happened?"

"Blue Shade happened." Lilypool rolled her eyes.

Darkface's face darkened. "I had a group after Blue Shade. I named it Orange Fire, and I vowed to find you guys, and take revenge. Now I have found you. Great Oak has sent a message long ago."

Red Shades eyes went wide. "What was the message?"

"They are looking for you. I haven't seen them since, but I remember where their territory may be... if Blue Shade hasn't taken it."

"How many cats were in Great Oak?" Whiteclaw asked.

"5. That's when they were falling, but... Now nobody seems to know where they are."

"Well, let's look for their territory!" Lilypool argued.

Darkface shook his head. "It cuts through Long Grass and Teal Waves territory."

"Oh."

Teal Waves and Long Grass are both powerful groups... Just not nearly as powerful as Blue Shade.

"Who goes there?" The cats heard a voice.

But there wasn't Blue Shade smell anywhere.

The cat came out of the bushes.

An old green-and-white tom.

Whiteclaw looked back at Darkface to see his eyes widened.

"Greenstar... Is that you? Where's Bluekit?"

A Blue-and-White she-cat also came out of the bushes.

"Darkface?" Greenstar and Bluekit... Who has probably taken on her warrior name now... Said in astonishment.

"So it is you! Where is Redkit, Ashclaw, and Smallrose?"

There was a silence. "They're dead. Blue Shade killed them off, and we have had no territory for moons." Greenstar.

"My names Bluesnow now!" Bluesnow said, excited.

"You grew up so fast." Darkface purred.

"So... Why were you exiled from Blue Shade anyways?" Whiteclaw asked Darkface.

"I... Blue Shade doesn't like cats having friend from other Groups. They say it's traitorous. I had a very close relationship with cats in Great Oak before their downfall. I ended up getting caught and exiled, and I even joined Great Oak. But I had no choice but to flee when Blue Shade attacked." Darkface replied.

"It's alright. It was inevitable." Greenstar said.

Red Fire now has 6 cats... But can they get enough to conquer more land?
