chapter 10 is now up hope you like it


"It would seem that she was wrong and all that stands in my way is you" Stormfur said

Blackpelt growled and ran at Stormfur. Stormfur just stood there waiting for Blackpelt's attack.

"This is for all the cats you killed including Shadowheart" Blackpelt shouted as he jumped at Stormfur

Stormfur jumped at Blackpelt his claws slicing Blackpelt's throat. Blackpelt fell to the ground and closed his eyes never to open them again

Stormfur left Shadowclan and headed towards Thunderclan


A few minutes later


"Shadowheart, Shadowheart wake up" A voice called "Wake up my kit"

"Mum" Shadowheart said weakly not opening her eyes

"Shadowheart open your eyes" another voice called

Shadowheart opened her eyes, she could see that she was in Shadowclan but how, she should have been dead

"Mother I don't understand" Shadowheart said getting up

"Shadowheart, it is still not your time for you to join Starclan" Whiteheart said

"He was too strong, I could not stop him and because of that the clans have paid with their lives" Shadowheart said

"Shadowheart this was not where you will defeat Stormfur" Shadowheart said "Thunderclan is where he will be defeated"

Shadowheart looked over to see her mate Blackpelt lying on the ground not moving, she walked up to him. She could see blood.

"Blackpelt no" Shadowheart cried lying down next to him, tears rolling down her face. "It was supposed to be me, not you"

"Shadowheart" a deep voice called, Shadowheart looked up to see Blackpelt

"Blackpelt" Shadowheart said

"Shadowheart you need to go and stop Stormfur" Blackpelt said "Now go"

"I won't forget you Blackpelt" Shadowheart said before running towards Thunderclan

"I won't forget you Shadowheart" Blackpelt said before disappearing along with Shadowheart and Whiteheart

Shadowheart ran as fast as she ran she had to reach Thunderclan and stop Stormfur before he killed her kits


In Thunderclan (a few minutes before)


Stormfur was killing every cat that tried to attack him. Bluepaw, Whitepaw and Moonpaw were with Firekit and Tigerkit hiding. They could not come out of their hiding spot for Stormfur would kill them. Bluepaw wondered where their mother was.

"Will mum be here soon Bluepaw?" Firekit asked

"I don't know Firekit" Bluepaw said

Bluepaw looked round from where they were hiding to see a hole that lead outside the camp. Bluepaw picked up Firekit and squeezed through the hole, Moonpaw picked up Tigerkit and followed Bluepaw, and Whitepaw looked behind her to see a kit no older than 3 moons wondering on its own. Whitepaw ran out from her hiding spot and grabbed the kit.

"Well, well what do we have here" Stormfur said looking at Whitepaw and the kit

Whitepaw put the kit down and told in to run towards the back of the camp, she told the kit that there was a hole and that Bluepaw would take care of her. The kit ran. Stormfur was about to grab the kit when Whitepaw bit down hard on Stormfur's tail

"Get off me you mouse brain" Stormfur said flinging Whitepaw of his tail

"I won't let you destroy Thunderclan" Whitepaw shouted

"I'll make you pay for your words" Stormfur growled jumping at Whitepaw

Whitepaw froze to the spot, not knowing what to do. All of a sudden a yellow cat came out of nowhere and jumped at Stormfur. Another cat came this time a black cat. These cat were Suntail and Nightstripe

"Brother, get Whitepaw to safety" Suntail called as she fought Stormfur

Nightstripe picked Whitepaw and ran to the back of the camp, he pushed Whitepaw though the hole and told her to run. Whitepaw nodded and ran to find her brother and sister and the kits.


Thunderclan (present time)


Shadowheart ran into Thunderclan to find that it had been destroyed; body's of cats lay on the ground. She saw a yellow cat lying on the floor. Shadowheart ran up to her, she was still breathing but it was shallow

"Suntail, please wake up" Shadowheart said

"Shadowheart, we couldn't stop him" Suntail gasped

"Suntail, just hang on" Shadowheart said with sadness in her voice

"Shadowheart, where is Blackpelt?" Suntail asked

"He's with Starclan" Shadowheart said

"Shadowheart, find your kits and run" Suntail whispered "I'll be joining my brothers in Starclan"

"Suntail, please just hang on" Shadowheart said but then looked at Suntail her eyes were closed and as was not breathing "No, Suntail I'm sorry this had to happen"

"Very touching in deed" A voice said from behind Shadowheart

"Stormfur" Shadowheart spat, turning to face Stormfur

"So it seems your harder to kill then I first thought" Stormfur said

"I'm not the one that's going to die" Shadowheart hissed "You will pay for all those you have killed"

Shadowheart ran at Stormfur, who jumped out of the way and dug his claws in to Shadowheart's back. She let out a cry of pain before wrapping her tail around Stormfur's neck and pulled him forwards making him fall to the floor grasping for air. Shadowheart bit Stormfur's neck drawing blood then letting go. Stormfur looked at Shadowheart his breath ragged and shallow

"I will give you a chance Stormfur" Shadowheart said "Make the right choice"

Stormfur ran and grabbed Shadowheart by the back of neck, Shadowheart pulled away from Stormfur's grip. Her fur was in pieces and bloody, Shadowheart saw Stormfur running towards her. He jumped with his claws out; Shadowheart stuck her claws out when he was close enough piercing the skin that was on Stormfur's neck.

"I gave you a choice" Shadowheart said pulling her claws away from Stormfur

Stormfur lay on the ground, not moving and breathing. Shadowheart gave a sigh then looked around the camp, it was destroyed. She ran to the nursery, but her kits were not there. She looked behind the nursery to see a hole. She squeezed through the hole and went to find her kits

"Moonpaw, Bluepaw, Whitepaw where are you" Shadowheart yelled

"Mum" said a voice

Shadowheart ran in the direction the voice came in. She saw that all her kits were safe and well.

"Mum there was a cat that attack the clan" Firekit said

"I know, he's gone now" Shadowheart said

"Where's dad mother?" Moonpaw asked

"He's with Starclan" Shadowheart said not looking at her kits

No one spoke a word until Shadowheart spoke again

"We need to leave here" Shadowheart said before picking up Tigerkit and Firekit

"Mother, where will we go?" Bluepaw asked

"Near the barn just outside the twolegs home" Shadowheart said


That night


They had just stopped outside the barn and Shadowheart told them to stay there while she spoke to the cats in the barn.

"What are you doing here clan cat?" asked a dark brown cat with black paws

"The clan have been destroyed and I was wondering if my kits could live here" Shadowheart said

"Fine" said the cat

Shadowheart went back to her kits and took them to the barn, she saw a few cats mostly toms, she saw a queen with kits. Shadowheart went up to her but the she cat got a bit over protective of her two kits

"Don't worry I just want to speak to you" Shadowheart said

"Oh, night can you watch the kits" said the she cat


Outside the barn


"What did you want to talk about?" the she cat asked

"I need someone to watch out for my kits" Shadowheart said "To make sure they grow up right"

"Oh, so you're asking me to do that job" the she cat said "but why can't you?"

"I can't, I have to go" Shadowheart said before running away from the barn and towards Thunderclan


In Thunderclan


It took Shadowheart most of the night to reach Thunderclan, she was tired and she knew that her time had come to join Starclan. Her kits would grow up to be strong warriors. Shadowheart laid down and closed her eyes remembering her everything that she had been.


Flashback (with her dad/Merlin)


"Dad, what is the twolegs doing to Gaius?" Shadowkit asked her dad

"She putting a new collar on Gaius" Merlin said

The twoleg came up to Shadowkit holding a collar, Shadowkit backed away before running for the cat flap. Merlin and Gaius both looked at each other before they both went after Shadowkit


Outside


Shadowkit hid in the bushes when Merlin found her.

"Shadowkit, what was that about?" Merlin asked

"A collar is not what a clan cat wears" Shadowkit said "It is the mark of a kittypet and I'm not a kittypet"

Merlin and Gaius both laughed "Shadowkit it's ok to be a kittypet" Merlin said

"Not if you were born in a clan" Shadowkit said "you get made fun of for being a kit of a kittypet"

"Shadowkit" Merlin said

"Dad you don't understand, kittypets are supposed to be weak" Shadowkit said "being a kit of a kittypet is not good for a clan cat"

"Shadowkit would you like me to show you some fight moves that may help you when you're older" Merlin said

"Ok dad" Shadowkit said


Flashback end


"Thanks dad for everything" Shadowheart said to herself as she opened her eyes

"Shadowheart" A voice called Shadowheart looked to her side to see Blackpelt

"Blackpelt" Shadowheart said

"Shadowheart are you ready?" Blackpelt asked

"Yes I am Blackpelt" Shadowheart said

Blackpelt touched noses with Shadowheart. Shadowheart closed her eyes and her breathing slowed before it stopped all together

Shadowheart opened her eyes to see white all around her. Starclan, she was in Starclan.

"Blackpelt, where are you?" Shadowheart called

"I'm here Shadowheart" Blackpelt said

Blackpelt and Shadowheart walked to meet the rest of the Starclan cats. Shadowheart hoped that her kits would grow up to be strong warriors. Shadowheart looked at her mother for the first time is a long time, she now had her family with her, she would wait for the day that she would see her kits again but she did not think that it would be a soon as she hoped
