The shadow cat watched with joy as the tom ran off. She had been planning this for a long time. The cat who the tom set off to murder was her sister.

When these two were young, they had had a rivalry. Usually it was playful, but one day their mother had gotten involved. She told the young cats that they would have to choose between each other and living successfully. Their mother, always having had a favorite, had picked the shadow cats sister. But thats of no importance now...

She remembered having been cast out by her own mother. She had had to fend for herself at the young age of four moons. One day, she knew, she would get her revenge. She started planning and preparing, ready for when that fateful day would come. Finally, she saw her chance. She hear of a place called the Dark Forest where cats who had died lived forever on. The price for her was small, since she had been told that her siblings would forget her. That was a reward, it would make her plan much easier. She ran off and killed herself, happy to see a forest of darkness which must have been the Dark Forest.

She watched her sister from the Forest, and saw her chance when her sister kitted. Finally she attacked, setting a plan long in the making into action.
