Hello and welcome to the first chapter of THE DARK LEADER- we hope you enjoy! :) Review but no flaming please. :)

Chapter One- Jaywing
I opened my eyes and stepped out of the warrior's den. Where's Speckleblossom? "Hey Speckleblossom, WANNA GO HUNTING ON A PATROL?!" He shouted across the camp.

"SHUT UP WILL YOU NOBODY HERE LIKES YOU GO DIE IN A HOLE- IN SHADOWCLAN!" Moonsplash yelled. She was the oldest, wrinklest, smelliest, crankiest elder in camp and she was born with no fur... well, nobody remembers. She's like a thousand moons old.

Speckleblossom came out of the elders den. "Sorry, I'm supposed to clean that thing's ticks." She frowned. "I wish I could." She padded away before I could reply.

"Jaywing, why don't you come with me, Oakleaf and Whitetuft?" Swifteagle called.

"Okay," I meowed back. "But I'm staying away from you..." I muttered. she's always hitting on me. Always. All. Ways. I don't like you, go away. The group padded through the gorse tunnel.

Later:

I dropped two fat rabbits and selected a buzzard for me and Speckleblossom. I walked up to her, she was milling around camp watching the kits play. "Hi," I meowed. "Want to share this buzzard?"

"Oh, sure!" She purred. "I was just about to-"

"GET THE SHADOWCLAN WARRIORS OR DIE!" Kestrelkit squealed. A horde of squirming kits attacked us.

"Whoa- ahhhhhhhhhhhhh! Speckleblossom help!" I played along.

"Jaywing!" She yelped, laughing.

"WE GOT 'EM! GO!" Kestrelkit announced. The kits bumbled away. I laughed.

"I miss being a kit," Speckleblossom sighed. "But now we can leave the forest and do more." We both took a bite of the buzzard. "So do yo-"

"THUNDERCLAN ATTACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!"

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT?! Sorry it's so short- we're working on it okay? Okay. (TFIOS reference omg.) So... review, and we hope you enjoyed!
