Hello my amazing readers! So I apologize for all the split chapters, and everything will go back to normal. Like I said, Silvermask and I thought it would be better if we just skipped to the end of the apprenticeship. Whatever you want to see, leave it in the reviews! Hope you enjoy Moonstripe's chapter!

Moonstripe found herself in a strange dark territory. It was dark, creepy, and smelled strongly of fungi, with an underlying trace of death. She wondered if this was some sort of Starclan for rogues and kittypets; but then realized that this was the Dark Forest, and judged on her newfound ambition they were going to welcome her. So she hoped at least they wouldn't injure her. She took a step toward a bramble, where she scented a strong cat smell. She slithered through the Dark Forest, not making a sound, and disguised her scent. She crouched in a bush and saw a group of cats sitting in a circle, with a boulder in the middle of the circle.

"She is here, and she is watching us." A she cat meowed.

"How do you know that Maplewing?" Another she cat mewed

"I can sense every inch of our territory. I know when someone's here, and where they are" The cat named Maplewing responded. "Moonstripe, step out of the bushes." Moonstripe slid out of the bushes soundlessly, narrowing her eyes.

"Why am I here?" She asked suspiciously.

"You are here to become our leader." Maplewing responded cooly.

"What if I don't want to be?" Moonstripe replied.

"Then you will stay here forever." Maplewing smirked.

"Well, if that's the case then... Bye!" Moonstripe streaked through the bushes, ignoring the screaming pain in her muscles. She ran until she saw a bright light. As she started toward that light, she felt long claws grip her.

"Get off me you fox-pelt" Moonstripe yowled. She turned toward Maplewing, and kicked her in the head, stunning her. Moonstripe dashed into Starclan, and turned toward Maplewing, who was pounding against the invisible border. Moonstripe sensed a cat walking toward her.

"My name is Dawnheart. Welcome to Starclan." Dawnheart smiled.

"This is amazing!" Moonstripe exclaimed, "It's so beautiful here!"

"Yes, it is very pretty. I was hoping you would exit the Dark Forest, for you do not belong there." Dawnheart meowed gravely.

"Why was I there in the first place?" Moonstripe asked.

"You were holding a grudge against your father. That can cause darkness to enter your dreams. You will feel pain on your wounds when you wake up. Remember, if you die in the Dark Forest, you die in the real world." Dawnheart, and the landscape started dissapearring. "Beware Sunpaw, Moonstripe, for he brings violence and chaos." With that, Moonstripe woke up.

"Moonstripe! Moonstripe! Your bleeding" Moonstripe woke up and heard Riverclaw yowling at her. His eyes were wild with terror. She glanced at her sides, and realized there were long and deep claw marks on her haunches. There were pools of blood surrounding her. She stared anxiously at Riverclaw, but before she could say anything she passed out.

MWAHAHA EVIL CLIFF HANGER! :DD I hope you liked it! I will try to post the next two chapters shortly, and leave your reviews below!

Q: Where do you think Sunpaw is? Do you think he killed anyone? :)
