Welcome to my new story, Blood Will Rule the Forest! This is an AU exploring the idea of, "What if BloodClan won?" This is not a story about where the Clans take an early journey to the lake because they lost the forest to BloodClan.
The name of the story is from the final line of the prophecy featured in The Darkest Hour.

BLOOD WILL RULE THE FOREST
BY FOREST
PROLOGUE
BRAMBLEPAW
"Greetings. Have you decided to leave? Or do you presume you can fight against BloodClan?" Bramblepaw's fur bristled at the cold, condescending tone in which Scourge, leader of BloodClan, spoke to his mentor and leader.
To his credit, Firestar didn't react. "We don't have to fight," his leader told the enemy. The steady, calm tone in which he said this was the opposite of how Bramblepaw felt. His stomach was swirling with tension. "We will let you go back to Twolegplace in peace."
Scourge let out a cold mrrow of laughter. Bramblepaw wanted to leap forward and claw the stupid icy look right off his face. "Go back? Do you really think we're such cowards? No, this is our home now."
How dare he! The forest belongs to the Clans! Even as he had the thought, he couldn't help being intimidated by the BloodClan cats. They were tough cats, their necks adorned by collars of teeth. They flexed their claws, and they caught the light, both the cat claws and the dog teeth. Fear trickled down his neck like a cold drop of water.
"The forest is ours," Firestar growled to Scourge. "We rule here by the will of StarClan."
"StarClan!" Scourge sneered. "Tales for kits. Forest fool, StarClan won't help you now." Bramblepaw's tail lashed, narrowly missing hitting Ashpaw in the face. The pale tom jerked his head away with a low hiss of annoyance. He opened his mouth to snap, but just then the small black cat sprang to his paws, his fur suddenly bristling out so that he looked twice his size. "Attack!" he snarled.
The BloodClan cats surged forward, eyes glowing with bloodthirsty, claws gleaming in the rising sun. Scourge ran forward and aimed for Firestar.
"LionClan, attack!" roared Firestar, and sprang for Scourge. Bramblepaw darted forward to sink his claws into a scrawny ginger cat, who spat at him. Her claws reached for his muzzle, and he reared back as they scraped it.
Ashpaw flashed briefly into sight as he dove under the she-cat's belly, drawing his claws along it. He appeared behind her and bit down hard on her tail. The she-cat screeched, and kicked out with her hind legs, sending Ashpaw sprawling into another battle, this one between an older black tom who smelled of fish and a burly, dark brown BloodClan tom. Bramblepaw jumped in to scratch her nose and tear into her ear. He knocked one of her forelegs out from under her and and she crumbled, her chin knocking against the ground. Bramblepaw stepped back, tense, but allowing her to run. She did so, with a burning look over her shoulder as she fled.
"Nice job," Ashpaw panted, looking around. His eyes widened. "Bramblepaw, over there!"
Bramblepaw spun and saw the black tom whom Ashpaw had fallen against sinking to his belly, the whites of his eyes showing. He thrashed weakly in his enemy's grip, and as they watched, the dark brown cat released him and stared down coldly. Blood gushed out.
With a challenging screech, Bramblepaw barreled forward, thrusting his way past snarling masses of fur, claws, and teeth to attack the bulky BloodClan cat. Ashpaw ran nimbly beside him, sliding in and out of the fighting cats easily. He launched himself onto the enemy's back, just as Bramblepaw slammed into the cat. The BloodClan warrior staggered backward from the impact. Off-balance from the lump of fur on his back that was Ashpaw, the dark warrior fell onto one side. Ashpaw churned his claws against his back, and Bramblepaw raked his claws down the cat's belly. With a shriek, the cat struggled free and barged past them, blood dripping down his pelt.
A low moan caught his attention and he spun to see the RiverClan warrior lying weakly on the ground, eyes half-closed. Horrified, Ashpaw dropped into a crouch beside him, paw pressing on his throat wound. "Get Cinderpelt!" he cried.
Bramblepaw charged away, weaving through the sea of writhing, spitting cats. A lithe white she-cat planted herself in front of him, and he roared with fury. There was no time for this! Because of her, the RiverClan warrior might die!
Running at her, he clouted her ears, snapping at her throat with sharp teeth. She jerked away, and he helped her with the motion by shoving her away with a powerful shoulder. Having sent her reeling, he vanished into the battle before she could recover.
Skidding into some bushes, he saw Runningnose and Barkface tending to several cats. They looked up with alarm in their eyes as he burst in, then relaxed.
"Help!" Bramblepaw gasped. "There's a really injured RiverClan warrior back there!"
Barkface sprang to his paws. "I'll be faster," he growled to Runningnose. To Bramblepaw, he asked urgently, "Where?"
"Follow me." Bramblepaw waited a second for the WindClan medicine cat to gather up some herbs, then led him back to the injured warrior. He knocked another BloodClan cat away and let Barkface past. Ashpaw was still there with his paws pressed firmly against the wound, but his paws were soaked with blood now, and the warrior appeared dead at first, until Bramblepaw saw that his flank was just barely moving. Also there were now two other cats beside him, circling the injured warrior, snarling threats at any BloodClan cats who came too close, one ShadowClan and one RiverClan. The ShadowClan warrior was currently locked in battle with a huge tabby. The RiverClan cat stood protectively over the black cat.
"Out of the way!" Barkface snapped at the gray warrior. He nodded, then ran to intercept another BloodClan warrior who was racing toward them. Ashpaw started to move away, but Barkface shook his head.
"No, keep it there," he told the pale gray apprentice. He rapidly unpeeled cobwebs from his bundle and pressed them against the wound. Once that was done, he started to chew up some herbs.
"Will my brother be alright?" The gray warrior had returned, having successfully chased off his enemy. Except for several new scratches on his muzzle, he looked none the worse for the wear. His eyes glittered with anxiety.
Barkface shrugged helplessly. "I don't know," he answered honestly. "He's lost a lot of blood. All I can do is stop him from losing more, and stop infection from taking hold. His life is in StarClan's paws now."
The RiverClan cat dropped to a crouch beside him, pressing his nose into his brother's fur. "Come on, Beetlenose," he murmured. "You can't die! You have Sunfish to think about! And your kits! And Petaldust and I! You can't leave us."
Feeling awkward about listening to the warrior's desperate begging, Bramblepaw turned away, keeping his eyes fixed on the battle. Another BloodClan warrior lunged for him, teeth bared. He whipped to the side, and sliced his claws down the warrior's belly. Yowling with pain, blood sliding down his fur, the cat fled. His pelt prickled. If not for the fact that Bramblepaw didn't kill the warrior, and had only the intention of chasing him off, the scene would be exactly like Tigerstar and Scourge.
Swallowing his doubts, he spun around at the loud wail of anguish. The gray cat was bending over the black tom's body, shoulders slumped. Beetlenose, he remembered.
The ShadowClan warrior padded over and rested his tail on the gray cat's shoulder awkwardly. He kept one eye fixed on the battle, and realizing that he couldn't do anything to help, Bramblepaw slipped away, Ashpaw following quickly.
"I can't believe that he died... just like that." Ashpaw's face was grim.
"I know..." Bramblepaw ran to intercept a ginger BloodClan cat who was leaping for Willowpelt. The pale she-cat was locked in battle with a tortoiseshell, and had pinned her down, raking her claws down the tortoiseshell's back. The ginger tom was knocked out of the air by Bramblepaw, and Ashpaw darted in to nip his hind legs as he scrambled back up.
Snapping his head around, the tom caught Ashpaw's neck in his jaws. Screeching in pain as he bit down, Ashpaw flailed in his grip wildly. Bramblepaw jumped forward and smashed his forepaws down onto the BloodClan cat's head, causing him to go cross-eyed. He released Ashpaw, rearing into his hind legs and shaking his head. Bramblepaw barreled into his exposed chest, his teeth locking onto the ginger tom's skin. The BloodClan cat shrieked, and tore out of Bramblepaw's grip. Turning his tail, he fled the battle.
"Ashpaw?" Bramblepaw spun to nudge the apprentice softly. Ashpaw blinked, blood dripping down his neck. He shook his head and stood up.
"I'll be fine, Bramblepaw," he meowed.
Bramblepaw sniffed his wounds, then glared at him. "You need to see a medicine cat," he insisted. "It might be worse than you think."
Ashpaw snarled softly. "I need to keep fighting! ThunderClan needs me!"
"They can't use you if you're too weak to fight," Bramblepaw retorted. "Come on. It won't take long."
Ashpaw reluctantly followed his fellow apprentice to where Cinderpelt was wrapping Longtail's shoulder with cobwebs. Finished, she sent the pale tabby away with a nod, and beckoned Bramblepaw and Ashpaw over.
Looking over Ashpaw's neck wound, she slathered it with cobwebs and herbs, then meowed, "You'll live. Rest for a moment."
Ashpaw shot Bramblepaw an annoyed look, and he shrugged. Ashpaw scowled, then growled, "I'm going back into battle."
Cinderpelt sighed. "I suppose telling you not to won't do anything, will it?"
"Nope." Ashpaw charged away, and Bramblepaw scrambled to keep up.
"Bramblepaw!" Ashpaw cried. Bramblepaw looked in the direction he was looking and gasped. Bone, the big black-and-white deputy of BloodClan stood victoriously over Whitestorm, who was drenched in his own blood.
Bramblepaw and Ashpaw ran at him, yowling angrily. Ashpaw bit on Bone's hind leg, and Bramblepaw leaped onto his back, clawing furiously. Bone roared with anger, straining to reach them. Bramblepaw sank his teeth into Bone's ear, tearing.
Rolling onto his back, Bramblepaw had to leap off to avoid getting crushed by his considerable bulk. Ashpaw changed targets, and pounced on Bone's belly. Raising his hind legs, Bone shoved Ashpaw off, and began to stand, rage flaring in his eyes. Just then, screeches rang across the clearing, and three more apprentices hurtled over to joined them. Featherpaw went for the deputy's face, scratching him above the eye and blinding him. Stormpaw attacked his forelegs, tangling them and causing the massive cat to tumble to the ground. Tawnypaw lunged for Bone's belly, ripping into it. Bramblepaw snapped at Bone's tail, and Ashpaw churned his claws against his broad back.
Bone writhed for a few moments, then curled into a ball, giving up trying to defend himself. They may all be apprentices, but no one cat can have five other cats on them, all aiming to kill him, and live. Bone's body spasmed, then fell still. Ashpaw cried in triumph, standing on the deputy's back.
Then Bramblepaw screeched in surprise as he felt teeth fastening into his shoulder and dragging him off of Bone's body. Tawnypaw spun and launched herself at the rogue cat.
"Let go of my brother!" she spat. The other apprentices sprang forward with her, and the rogue cat released Bramblepaw, turning to flee. Bramblepaw scrambled to his paws. Tawnypaw paused briefly to nudge him back up, then raced after the cat, whom Bramblepaw now knew was Jaggedtooth.
Jaggedtooth blundered into some bushes, shoving his way out. Ashpaw and Featherpaw halted, and the other three apprentices slithered to a stop. Bramblepaw looked around.
"Look!" Stormpaw called, pointing to where three cats, apprentices from the look of them, were battling desperately against two huge BloodClan tabbies. As they watched, one of the tabbies caught a wiry brown tom in his jaws and snapped his neck, tossing the body aside as he snarled at the two remaining cats.
"Stickpaw!" a black tom wailed. The last apprentice, a brown-and-white she-cat, stared at the tabbies with wide fearful eyes.
"You're next!" one of the tabbies hissed.
"Come on!" Ashpaw charged the two BloodClan cats. The she-cat spun towards them at the sound of his voice, and one of the two tabbies darted forward to bring his claws down on her head.
"Breezepaw!" Tawnypaw yelped. "Look out!"
Too late. The tabby's claws cleaved through her face, and she shrieked, sinking to her knees. The tabby finished it with a quick bite to the neck. The last cat backed away, eyes wide. At that point, the five cats had reached the two tabbies. Bramblepaw, Ashpaw, and Tawnypaw leaped on one of them, claws flashing and teeth snapping. Stormpaw and Featherpaw went for the other, and after a moment, the black tom joined them.
Roaring with pain, the cat under Bramblepaw's paws struggled free and fled. The tabby followed quickly. Bramblepaw dropped lightly to the ground, rolling his shoulders.
"Who should we fight next?" he asked.
Featherpaw began to respond, but then a bloodcurdling shriek cut her off. Cats froze as the turned to see what had happened. He followed their gazes. Fear closed over him, cold and dark.
"No..." Bramblepaw rasped. This couldn't be happening!
But it was.
At Scourge's paws was a writhing mass of ginger fur. Scourge's eyes were colder than ice as he watched blood pump out of Firestar. Bramblepaw shoved his way through the cats, and horror seized him as he realized what had happened.
Down Firestar's belly was a long gash, exactly like the gash that had killed Tigerstar. His fear was confirmed as Firestar fell limp for a moment, then arched his back again in agony, claws shredding the grass, screeching that unearthly cry.
Firestar was dying nine times over.
"No," Ashpaw whispered from beside him. "This can't be happening."
The cats watched in stunned silence as Firestar died over and over. Graystripe's and Sandstorm's gazes were filled with utter horror, and the BloodClan cats' eyes were full of triumph. Bramblepaw couldn't move. He wouldn't wish this death on any cat, not even Tigerstar, and least of all Firestar, his mentor and leader.
When at last Firestar fell still for the last time, there was complete silence. Then Scourge lifted his muzzle and yowled out, "You have all seen what has happened to your leader. Continue fighting, and this is what will happen to each and every one of you." His eyes flickered over the Clan cats as they began to lower submissively to the ground. Seeing a leader dying nine times over once was bad enough, but seeing it twice was enough to break many of their spirits. What chance did they have against a cat who could do that? "BloodClan is victorious!" he roared.
"Not yet!" snarled a voice. A skinny silver tabby glared defiantly at Scourge. When he spoke, many more cats rose to their paws to snarl defiantly at the BloodClan cats.
"Boulder, weren't you the one who led Tigerstar to me?" Scourge narrowed his eyes, padding forward lightly to stand nose-to-nose with the tabby. Mockery was clear in his tone. "I thought you wanted BloodClan in the forest."
Boulder spat at him. "BloodClan doesn't belong here."
Quick as lightning, Scourge scored his claws through Boulder's throat. The silver tom stiffened, crying out in pain. He collapsed, and Scourge stepped back calmly. He glanced at a dark tabby, who stepped forward.
"Does anyone else dare to speak out against Scourge?" the dark brown tabby roared.
Cats surged forward, heading for Scourge. Bramblepaw rolled to one side to escape the stampede, staring. The BloodClan warriors leaped into action, killing all those who opposed them. Eventually, the Clan cats learned and bent their heads in submission once more.
"Good," Scourge meowed coldly. "Bring forth the leaders."
No cat moved. Bramblepaw saw that Graystripe was trying to get up, stopped by Brackenfur. The young tom hissed something in his former mentor's ear, and Graystripe stopped struggling. Leopardstar's eyes burned, but she didn't move. Blackfoot was talking low and urgently to a dark gray ShadowClan tom. Tallstar's long tail was twitching, but he had his head in with a short-legged tom. Scourge raked the Clan cats with an icy gaze.
"Very well," he growled. He looked at a small gray tom. "Snipe. Bring him to me."
The brown tabby stalked forward and seized the young cat. The gray tom's eyes widened in terror, and he struggled to get free. Snipe deposited him at his leader's paws.
"Eaglepaw!" a she-cat who looked remarkably like him cried.
Scourge looked down at him, then out at the Clans again. "I will give you another chance. If you refuse to show yourself, leaders, I will kill this cat."
Slowly, Tallstar rose to his paws, padding to the front of the cats. He looked at Scourge with disgust glimmering in his eyes. "My name is Tallstar, leader of WindClan."
"And your deputy?" Snipe rumbled.
"Deadfoot has already been killed," Tallstar answered, looking to where a black tom lay motionless.
"Come here, Tallstar," Scourge meowed icily. Tallstar didn't move.
"I have shown myself," he growled. "That was all that was needed."
"I suppose it makes no difference." Scourge nodded to a massive ginger tom and a big gray she-cat. The moved to either side of the WindClan leader. "Where are the other leaders?" he called.
Baring her teeth at him, Leopardstar rose and stalked to stand by Tallstar. "I am Leopardstar, leader of RiverClan," she announced. "My deputy is dead."
Snipe called to two more cats, and they sat beside Leopardstar. Scourge raked his gaze over the Clan cats. He raised his paw, the dog teeth on them glinting. "What of ThunderClan and ShadowClan?"
Blackfoot thrust his way through the cats. "I am Blackfoot of ShadowClan. I have yet to receive my leader name, and have no deputy."
There was a moment of silence, before Scourge asked icily, "Where is the ThunderClan deputy? Is he scared?"
"ThunderClan's deputy is dead," Longtail called. He glanced at Firestar. "And so is the leader."
Scourge held the tabby's gaze for a moment. Then he nodded. "Kill them."
The BloodClan cats pounded on the leaders. They fought back, and several warriors leaped forward to aid them, but the BloodClan cats pushed them back. It ended with all three of them dead.
"Now," Scourge growled. "Kill the rest."
The BloodClan cats turned and pounced on the Clan cats. Bramblepaw threw off a small brown tom, and yanked a bulky tabby off of Mousefur.
The Clan cats scattered. Bramblepaw fought cat after cat, until he found himself at the edge of the clearing. Tawnypaw was panting beside him. He glanced at her, then fled after his Clan. Behind them lay countless bodies, from all four Clans.
The battle was over, and BloodClan was triumphant.
