To those of you who want me to finally write my next parody: I'm sorry! I've been having major inspirations for this fic. It's hard to write two fics at once, so my next parody is on hold till A) I finish this or B) I lose inspiration for this and decide to write my parody until I'm reinspired.
Shadow Ascension
By Catgirl the Crazy
Chapter 3: The First Storm
Leafpaw felt her sister fidget impatiently beside her. It was later that night, and the Gathering should have started by now, but it hadn't, because ShadowClan hadn't shown up.
"Where could they be?" Squirrelpaw muttered. "They should be here by now."
"Just be patient," Leafpaw soothed her. "I'm sure they'll come."
"I wonder," Squirrelpaw asked, "Do you think this could have anything to do with that-" she struggled to find the right word, "feeling, you had today?"
"I don't know," Leafpaw admitted. "It is little bit too odd to be a coincidence. Maybe I should talk to Cinderpelt." She was about to head over towards the ThunderClan medicine cat when a yowl rang through the air. She looked up and saw Blackstar stride into the clearing, leading what seemed to be every ShadowClan cat in the forest.
"That's odd, why'd he bring so many?" Squirrelpaw muttered, echoing Leafpaw's thoughts. "Does he really think that he can leave his camp virtually unguarded? The only one's missing seems to be the kits."
Leafpaw surveyed the ShadowClan cats and realized that Squirrelpaw was right. She even saw a couple queens not too far from kitting. But then she noticed there were two ShadowClan cats missing, Tawnypelt and Littlecloud. Leafpaw was about to point this out to Squirrelpaw when Firestar spoke.
"Why is ShadowClan so late?" he demanded. "The Gathering was supposed to start a while ago."
Before Blackstar could reply, Leopardstar added, "And why do you bring so many do think to attack us? To drive us out of the forest, perhaps? Even you should now that ShadowClan does not have enough warriors to drive out RiverClan, WindClan and ThunderClan all at once."
Blackstar just laughed mirthlessly and spoke in a voice clearly not his own. "As a matter of fact, Leopardstar, that is exactly what I plan to do." His eyes narrowed. "But it is not ShadowClan who would defeat you. No, ShadowClan is no more."
"What do you, mean 'no more'?" Tallstar demanded. He was making a gallant effort to sound brave and unperturbed, but Blackstar's voice clearly disturbed the elderly WindClan leader.
"What do I mean?" Blackstar asked, amused. "Well, it would take far too long to explain, and right now I have other, more important things I'd rather be doing." Leafpaw lay crouched, ready for Blackstar to give the order to attack. Instead, he signaled with his tail. Out of the shadows, seeming to appear from thin air, came hundreds of cats. But they couldn't be cats, thought Leafpaw. They're translucent!
But if they're not cats, came a voice in her mind. Then what are they?
A/N: I think I'm becoming a cliffie-holic… Oh well, read and review! Don't, woory, chapter 4 should be up soon.
