TRIGGER WARNING FOR DEATH AND BLOOD

The she-shade screamed triumphantly over the ThunderClan leaders still body.

"You needn't worry about him, I'm sure he has at least a couple lives left" she mewed cheerfully, her muzzle red with blood, as she stepped away from the corpse. "But, until he's back, I have another job that needs to be done. Bring out the deputy of the clan, Shriek, Abyss" she ordered the pair, one with oddly thick fur around his throat, whereas the other seemed small for a tom, with a fierce look in his eyes. They quickly brought forth the deputy, who had as few wounds as possible.

"Good. Now, kill them" she said, not mincing any words. In an instant, they tore into the cat between them, ending the life quickly.

"Now. Bring out four apprentices, or the same will happen to, hmm, let's say, an elder." A few apprentices came forward, trembling with fear. The entire camp with filled with horrified silence before caterwauls and cries of grief screamed out. She quickly made sure the leader hadn't come back yet, then jumped down and padded towards them.

"Give them the body. They are dead now, right? Good, good" she mrrred briskly.

"As for you" she said, turning towards the apprentices, "Go to each clan. Tell them all that has happened here, and that RiverClan is next. I am willing to offer them mercy. Only the leader and deputy has to die. Also, once you're gone, or perhaps before, I'll have finished-" she was interrupted by the leader attempting to kill her by poucing. He leapt right through her, falling onto the grass. Shocked gasps went through the crowd.

"As I was saying" she continued calmly, while slashing his throat with red-stained claws, "I'll be taking all his lives. Now run to those clans. I don't want to have as much…. hassle, as I did here." With a frightened glance, the four apprentices ran out of camp, leaving the blood-soaked camp behind.
