Shadowfur POV

Warned, yes, and warned they had been for now they stood, her clan behind her as they faced the dogs and cats of… more than she had ever seen. All four clans stood on her side, Mistystar, Firestar, Onestar… and Blackstar.

"Now… tell the cats what you want." Blacktail meowed cooly.

"We want this land… back. Belonged to us before cat came!" The dog growled his eyes smoldered.

"We can't give it!" Cloverpaw meowed. "If you even try I'll flay you!"

"Ooh. You're not going to take that are you?" Jetfoot meowed with a hint of hostility.

"NO!"

"Then attack!" Blacktail meowed.

The dogs barked and attacked. The cats swirved in and out of the dogs legs, pinning down every cat. Shadowfur tussled with a ginger she-cat, who seemed heavy with kits. She pushed her off with a quick thrust of her hind legs and ran to help Moosefoot and Rowanclaw. Soon they had started to battle off the cats, soone the dogs were left. Stormstripe stood shaking as he stared past her.

"What is it?" She said frantically. She barely had a scratch.

Thank-you Scourge! Finally something from you paid off!

"Behind you… the dog… Lillypaw!"

She turned to see a dog, huge, with bloodshot eyes, froth dripping from his mouth as he glowered at them. He stomped up to them.

"Black cat must die!" He howled maniacally.

"Tigerthorn turned around from his fight with a mottled tom. "RUN SHADOWFUR,RUN!"

That's what she did. She ran, swiftly across the barren parts of the land, near the edge of her territory where it connected with Windclan.

"Shadowfur!" A high pitched voice yowled. "Go, go!"

"Scourge." She sighed with relief.

She followed a ridge, then she halted in dismay at a ledge, curving down into the beyond parts to be explored next moon. There she turned, staring straight into the eyes of the dog, three of them now here.

"The prophecy is fulfilled." He said.

Shadowfur nodded. Timberleaf ran behind the dogs, followed by Mistystar and Streamstone. They drove off the two dogs but she growled at them to leave this dog to her. She knew what would happen, oh yes, she knew all too well in fact.She watched the dog's every move. She then pounced, landing on his shoulders and bring him down on his back. He pushed her off and held her down.

"Black cat die!" He snarled.

She gagged at the harsh odor of crowfood. She closed her eyes and waited. She dare not struggle, dare not move. She waited. Waited for the jaws of the dog to come down on her.

"I'll be seeing you Scourge."

"I know. It was too soon, but Sun must come. Harsh these prophecies are."

The dog stood there waiting. His mouth open, ready to bite down. A tabby came running and he gave a guttural laugh. Blacktail had told him to make the Black cat die right in front of the tabby. He bit down, hard. Shadowfur sighed. She felt no pain, no fear. Just peace. Soon she was being rushed to Berryleaf, every clan cat she knew stood outside pacing.

"Nothing can be done, my sister." She breathed.

"NO! Don't talk I can fix it!"

"No." Shadowfur raised a paw and sat it down on Berryleaf's paw.

Shadowfur sighed again and she lay still. I proof read it… 3 TIMES! And I still cry!

Shadowfur stood facing her father. She bent down to lap up the clear water, now looking down to the world. She saw her body being lain out for the clan.

"Good riddance to that Blacktail!" Scourge growled.

She now sat with Starclan. She turned away. She looked for her father's favorite spot, sat down and looked in the river. She sought out the tabby pelt of Tigerthorn. He stood farther away from her body, looking up at Silverpelt. She leaned closer. He then smiled and looked back at her body. Somehow. Somehow, she was sure he had seen her, gazing down on him, in Starclan.
