Here is the prologue!
Branches crunched under the she-cat's paws. She headed restlessly toward the place she had been longing to go to ever since Hawkfrost had died in the battle against the Clans. She had chosen to fight alongside the Clans; a stupid mistake made in the heat of the battle.
"Who goes there?" A familiar voice growled from the expanse of darkness in front of her. The she-cat pricked her ears in hope, but sighed as none other than Thistleclaw stepped out of the brush.
"What are you doing here, traitor?" the spiky-furred warrior mewed coldly. "You betrayed us during the battle against the Clans- I should kill you for even being here again after what you did."
The she-cat rose up to her full height. She had been walking in a slouch since Hawkfrost had died.
You should be. A voice inside her head whispered. It's your fault he died.
The she-cat shook herself of the voice. "I was stupid when I fought along the Clans- the Dark Forest is where I belong. H-Hawkfrost proved that," the she-cat mewed strongly, though her voice shook as she spoke of the handsome Dark Forest tom.
"Ooh! I understand now!" Thistleclaw sneered. "You were in love with Hawkfrost!" He chortled, turning around so that he was no longer facing the she-cat. "That's no reason to come to the Dark Forest- how will I know that you won't just leave again?" he meowed, turning back towards her. "Like you did before."
"Please! I have no life now that Hawkfrost is dead. I never knew that I felt this way about him before, but now that he's gone… it's just so different! How can I prove to you that I truly belong here?" the she-cat meowed, anguished.
"Well, there is one way. One way that will prevent you from leaving the Dark Forest ever." Thistleclaw meowed, thinking.
"What is it?" the she-cat asked, her eyes unnaturally bright with excitement at getting to meet Hawkfrost again.
"Kill yourself." Thistleclaw growled, his amber eyes gleaming.
"What?" The she-cat exclaimed, her fur bristling in shock. Then she relaxed. "I'll do it. Anything to get to the Dark Forest."
Thistleclaw narrowed his eyes, sinking down onto his stomach. "Very well." He meowed, cautiously. "Get on with it then."
The she-cat sat down on the ground, looking at her paws.
Do I really want to do this? My Clan will be anguished...
She could already imagine the blood staining her paws after she had done it.
I must. I have to see Hawkfrost again. I have to.
In a flash as quick as lightning, she drew her paw over her throat, feeling her claws catch on her skin. Blood filled her eyes as she collapsed onto the ground, her body twitching. She watched Thistleclaw as she gave her dying breaths, blackness enveloping her sight.
"Well done. You will soon be a warrior of the Dark Forest." Thistleclaw meowed as the she-cat lay on the ground, dying.
The she-cat raised her head briefly in triumph and then her eyes stretched wide as she gave her last breath and fell, unmoving, onto the ground.
I bet you don't know which cat it is! I greatly appreciate reviews and favorites/follows!
