Why Undyingshadow Fled the Light
I crouched low, and flicked my tail. Three other warriors stood by my side, Brightpelt, a new warrior she-cat, Frostheart, a senior warrior tom, and Echoflight, another new warrior she-cat. I was nervous with these two new warriors on their first mission. What if they messed it up? Their first assignment? I growled under my breath, if they did, I would have to talk with Shadowstar. Then he would make sure that they would clean out the nursery and elder's den for a moon. Five cats came our way, and I twitched my ear excitedly. Our information was right! They were stupid enough to come this way. One, an orange and striped tom wandered away from the group's sight.
"Flowerpelt!" one cat called, "I think I-" I gave the signal, and I pounced on him.
"Prepare to say goodbye to what you know!" I snarled. I was TRYING to be quiet. But no, we just had to attract the whole patrol.
"Mistflower! No!" he pleaded. Odd. Wasn't Mistflower a med-? A black-and-white she-cat jumped on me.
"Let him go!" she yowled. I bit at her throat, and I grazed it, but not enough to kill her. While she staggered before me, blind and deaf with pain, I pounced. I scratched her sides, and attacked her within an inch of her worthless life.
"LightningClan, retreat!" A brown tom yowled. I smiled menacingly, and nodded with my head to home, and the direction of the stream.
Brightpelt and Echoflight talked nervously. As we came to the stream, I noticed how it had swelled. It did that during the season of New Growth. I lay down beside it, and dipped my muzzle into the water. I came back, dripping, then glanced at my paws. They were covered with blood. I curled my claws, and the memory of that she-cat came back to me. I drew back my lips into a snarl. One day, I would kill LightningClan. All of them, from the oldest elder, to the youngest kit. A vision flashed before me, it was my mate, Snowclaw, and our three kits, Fernkit, Beekit, and Riverkit. I closed my eyes to the memory, and Snowclaw's words echoed in my head.
"Undyingshadow! Tell me, do you promise?" she whispered in my head.
"Yes, Snowclaw" I hissed out loud, "I promise."
My promise, I longed to keep it. I really did. I wish I could have slain all of LightningClan with one blow of my claws. They had killed her and my kits during a raid on our SnakeClan camp, and I vowed I would kill the one who killed them. I would make sure that their death was slow and painful.
I would kill Skystar.
