Chapter Eight

NOTE! NOTE! NOTE!
Sorry it took so long for me to write this chapter! This is one where the story really gets exciting and stuff!

It was exciting before too... just not in the way we'd want it to be!

REMEMBER! I DO NOT LIKE FLAMERS SO DO NOT FLAME MY STORY!

Moonshimmer licked her paws delicately, sunlight bouncing off her coat, instead of her looking white like she usually did, she looked a beautiful silver! The shadows that fell on to her seemed to form perfect black stripes on her coat and she stumbled away from camp!

Will you stop talking abot how beautiful Miss Goody-Two-Shoes is?!

She has woken up early at dawn and she went into the forest because the leader had told her to do this because the leader wanted to let her hunt! She felt very guilty and her belly did a flop as she wanted to be truthful to her leader and tell him about the other cats who wanted to rule the forest, but she could not.

As soon as the beautiful warrior set off into the forest, she began to cry salty tears. She ran away into the forest, saddened of guilt!

She saw a tom-cat almost immediately, he was quite breathtaking.

Is he the future mate? He's gotta be, right?

He had a glorious golden-brown coat with tiny golden spots on his pelt, making him look almost like a cheetah, wild and free! She went to him, hypnotized by beauty.
He is so gonna be her mate.
"G…g…Greetings!" Moonshimmer burst out, wanting to just lay next to the rogue, carefree and fine.

"Who are you?" The tom-cat meowed with music in his voice.

"I am…I am…"Moonshimmer stammered, she did not want him to know that she was a clan cat, even if she was loyal to her clan, so she choked out. "I'm Moony!"
Um, no you're not. Moony is Skywatcher's nickname.
"Oh…Hello, do you live around here?" He asked hastily.

"N…no." Moonshimmer lied, almost joyful that he was talking to her.

"Oh…" The rogue meowed, mischief in his voice. "Let me show you around…"

He took his tail and twined it with the Moonshimmer's and licked her muzzle.

Getting a little too close a little too early.

They took a stroll through the wood quickly and by the end, Moonshimmer was charmed.

Suddenly, he and her were sitting by an old berry bush in the sunlight. It was night now and the moon was almost full.

"I love you."Moonshimmer said.
It's gonna be that 'love at first sight' crap, isn't it?
"I do too." Said the rogue. "My name is Phantom."

"Pretty name." Moonshimmer said.
You obviusly have no idea what a phantom is.
"Moony…"

"Yes?"

"Would you be more comfortable if I called you…Moonshimmer?"

Moonshimmer flinched and he smiled.

"My name is really Phantomstar. I was once leader of Diamondclan and I saw you all these times I watch the forest grow and grow."

"Were you banished?"

"Yes. My clan turned against me."

He said nothing more! He licked a paw and stared at her! Finally, he said something, "I fell in love with a loner and you.

A love triangle? Not surprised abou that.

Vanillastar, my brother loves you too!"
Not surprised about that either. Vanillastar wass literaly her brain-washed-bad-leader -potancial-mate straight from the beggining. Oh wait, it's a love square now.

He burst out. "He tried to kill me because he loved you and was jealous!"

"Oh no!"

"But, I love you too much, Triolet will understand when I depart with her."
If that your loner mate, no, she won't understand.
"Who is Triolet?"

"My mate."

"Oh."

"But, Moonshimmer, I will love you-"

"No you do not, because I do!"

A she-cat was there, she had beautiful white fur and black eyes and brown legs and a brown face.

"I love you, Phantomstar!"

"No, I do!" Moonshimmer growled loudly.
You both do. Except that you suit him, Moonidiot, 'cuz Triolet can do so much better than tha ungrateful, Moonidiot-obsessed jek
"Moonshimmer, I love you. I do not love you, Triolet."

The tom-cat opened his jaws against Moonshimmer's open mouth and he kissed her like a twoleg did!
CATS CAN'T KISS!
Moonshimmer battled Triolet and clawed her pelt. By only a few minute, Triolet was in shreds.

"I HATE YOU!"

Me too.

the she-cat yelled. "I will love you forever…Phantom."

After ten moons, Moonshimmer found she was pregnant with Phantomstar's kits!

"No…"Moonshimmer mewed to herself. "No…"

But, nobody knew, since she was still slender as could be. So she became deputy. She smiled broadly, as she was not discovered. Only Tranquilpaw knew,

I thought she joined Lilypaw?

Startalon didn't even notice!

But, one day, Moonshimmer did not see her mate! It was the day after she told him about the kits!

"Oh no!" Moonshimmer cried! She never saw the rogue again!
Seriously, you didn't see the guy, like, once. That doesn't mean he left you. In fact, I highly doubt that that happened.
Soon, Moonshimmer got to camp! Nobody was there!

Oh come on! The queens, elders and kits had to be there, and there had to be at least one warrior and an apprentice.

But, someone was there.

"Hello, My Juniper Berry!"
Wha..?
It was Vanillastar.

"I love you!"

He charmed the naïve

Is that...? Could it be...? It is! It's a flaw, people! IT'S A FLAW!

Moonshimmer and she became his mate! She hoped Phantom felt bad now, but then she forgot about him and had her kits! They were all like phantom except one, one that looked like Vanillastar, but darker!

"That is Cheetahkit, that is Lovekit, that is Songkit, and that is…that is…Chocolatekit."

*sobs* WHY CAN'T ANY OF THEM HAVE NORMAL NAMES?!
Moonshimmer decided.

Later, she saw her kits asleep and went out to hunt. She saw Phantom.

"Phantom, go away!" She hissed, under her whiskers of silver!

"No, I must take a kit!"

"No!"

But Phantom was stubborn. He took one kit! Chocolatekit, Vanillastar's only true kit!
Yes, it is actually possible for a cat to have a litter fathered by more than one tom.

"No, Phantom!"

But he began to sing instead.
"Oh, my little-little kit,
I love you more than life,
You sing a little,
Dance a little,
With a little smile!

You sing all night, dance all night,
You do everything a little,
But you have all the beauty!
Oh!
You have little paws,
They will grow so big, you know!"
*stares at her computer in shock, and then faints*

Phantom sang beautifully and gently and Moonshimmer wanted to love him so much, but then he was gone! Perhaps for forever! Moonshimmer cried out to her mate.

"Phantom, come back!"

But he was gone!

Moonshimmer soon cried herself to sleep, feeling lost and lonely!

During her sleep, Lilypaw came back to the clan with a new name! Darkpaw!
A predictable name, but way better than Lilypaw.
Vanillastar did not notice! He let Lilypaw back into the clan!
Vanillastar is the most stupid living being ever.
Lilypaw laughed like a mad cat as he stumbled into the camp! He looked around and wanted to kill Moonshimmer, his sister! He had long craved her blood, but then he thought that she could help him rule the forest! Yes, that was an idea! He would force her to! The evil apprentice went to the dens and saw Moonshimmer in the nursery!

"Moonshimmer, I want you to join me and Screepaw and Tranquilaw and Wishpaw and Mysticalpaw! We are evil and you need to join us!" Darkpaw spat loudly with his claws out as far as they could so so that he could intimidate the pretty female cat. "Except their names aren't Screepaw, TranquilPaw, Wishpaw, and Mysticalpaw anymore! They are Screech, Tranquila,

Tranquila? Sounds like a name of one of those old women with crystal-balls that predict futere.

Wish, and Mystic, and we are the League of the Evil Darkness!"

Moonshimmer was shocked! "No I will never join you! I can not! I can not! I have kits!"

"Kits?!" Darkpaw smiled in an evilly evil way.
I'm a little confused. Evily evil way?
"Yes, kits."

"Well, if you do not join me, I will be forced to get rid of your kits forever and forever!" He laughed really evily.

Moonshimmer shook her head. "No! I will join you! Do not hurt them!"

"I knew that would get you!" Darkpaw said. "Come on now we have to meet the others."

Moonshimmer followed him into the woods. She could see all of her old friends and her sister sitting in the distance. They looked thin and their fur was all tangled and messy and clogged with lots of dirt!

Screepaw or Screech as he was called now walked towards her, his blue fur messy and wild. He was a lot older than he had been when she had seen him last!

"So you finally got her to join us did you Darkpaw?" Screech growled. "It is not a good idea I think. She will turn on us and betray us all!"

"Silence Screech!" Darkpaw hissed. "I make all the decisions around here and I think she will make a very valuble addition to the League of the Evil Darkness!"

Tranquila licked her sister on the cheek and whispered. "I am only here with Screepaw until we can overthrow Darkpaw and the others."

"There are others?" Gasped Moonshimmer!

"Yes. There are. There is a lot of them and they all live down in a hollow area down not too far away from here!" Said Wish.

Moonshimmer was shocked! How could so many evil cats get so many supporters?! This was terrible! How many where there exactly?!

"We have an evil dragon

You've got to be kidding me.

too and the evil dragon does everything we tell him to, too!" Darkpaw hissed. "We can take over all the clans at any moment and you our our only henderence..."

"Yes you are!" Screech said. "Now just join us!"

Tranquila nodded "Yes join us! If you are with us than no one can ever defeat us! We will be totally unstoppable!"

Moonshimmer thought about this for a moment. She really had no choice! If she did not join Darkpaw would destroy her kits but if she did join that would just mean that Darkpaw would have one and evil would have taken over everything! "Fine I will join you!" She said after a long time of wondering about the whole thing.

"Good that is very good! Wait no actually that is very bad like me!" Darkpaw cackled loudly.

Screech nodded and so did Tranquila and Wish and Mystic. "Alright now we can take over the whole entire forest! Let us go and get the dragon so that we can threaten all of the clans with it!"

Tranquila ran down to the huge dragon! It was huge and it was silver and had spikes all over it's head and neck and tail!

This has to be a joke.

It was the most fierce creature Moonshimmer had ever seen in her life! She felt chills down her spine! It looked directly at her and breathed a snort of fire out of it's nose!

"Where did you find this?!" She asked.
That's what we were all wondering.
Mystic smiled. "I summoned it up with magical powers I received from that stone over there! Wish has powers too!"
*slams her head against the desk*
"Powers?" Growled Moonshimmer. "But if StarClan did not give them to you they are no good! They are probably stupid anyway!"
Oh, so now no one can have powers but you, can they? Bitch.
Mystic shook her head. "No they are great Moonshimmer! I can summon all sorts of fierce beasts like that dragon over there! Wish has poison in her claws and Darkpaw already had powers but we just found out what they are! He can kill anyone he wants to

Techinicly, we all can.

and he is basically invincible and immortal! He is also like a vampire and gets his energy and stuff from eating other cats and drinking their blood!"

"Invincible?" Moonshimmer looked horrified. No wonder Lilypaw or whatever he was called now's tail had healed so quickly after she bit the tip off of it! The tip was no longer missing! She had been so stupid

She was always stupid.

for ignoring this very very obvious fact! She wanted to go and cry because everything was going wrong all of the sudden! Darkpaw was forcing her to be a bad person and now the whole entire forest would be taken over and everyone would be slaves to Darkpaw forever and ever!

All of the sudden Screech and Tranquila jumped into the air and landed on Darkpaw's head!

"What are you doing on my head?!" Darkpaw demanded angrily. His eyes flashed all sorts of rainbow colors! That meant he was really, really mad!

Tranquila realized all of the sudden and whispered to Screech. "Maybe we should wait until he actually takes over the forest! That was the plan right?!"
What?!fv
"You are right I had forgot." Screech looked embarrassed.
I can't believe that these idiots are so stupid.

"Get off of my head!" Darkpaw spat. "Get off of it now!"

Tranquila and Screech got off of him. Maybe at least they had knocked some sense into his head or something thought Moonshimmer!

"What were you doing you crazy stupid loonies?!" Darkpaw was hissing and spitting and bouncing around in a fury!

"Um UM!" Screech muttered. "We thought you were a mouse! Pay no attention to that it was a total accident!"
You acually think he's gonna believe that?
"A MOUSE?!" Lilypaw squealed. "YOU THOUGHT I WAS A MOSE?! WHY BECAUSE YOU THINK I AM SMALL!?"
You actually believe him? Darkpaw, a true villan never believes anoyne! Well, almost anoyne.
"No no!" Tranquila said. "You have it all wrong! You are a marvelous and fantastically evil leader and we are just meer stupid mortal cats forgive us for what we have done wrong!"
I know it's supposed to be a lie, but anyone reading this story is gonna agree with.
Moonshimmer shook her head. "I do not want to be with your group brother but I am afraid that I have to anyway. One of these days love and peace will conquer you!"
Yeah, yeah, just continue with that crap.
Darkpaw spat loudly all over the place! "I can not have you saying stupid things like that so shut up! Come now let us all go and take over the whole forest!"

Yay!
