Hi all!
Before we get started, (I sound like a youtuber) shoutout to dapplestarr for the review. Thanks to everyone for still showing support, even when I am posting a little less now! Btw this chapter takes place right after Moonfrost finishes explaining everything to Darkstar.
As always, thanks and see ya!
"That is," Darkstar breathed, "the worst lie I have ever heard. Seriously? Return to camp and blame everything on Spiritpaw!"
"Spiritclaw," Moonfrost reminded him. "And I'm not lying! It's all true."
"Ok, I'll withdraw part of your punishment," She breathed a sigh of relief, "and kill you quickly, because now I just want your blood on my claws as soon as possible!"
"Darkstar, you can't kill her! Please!" Sundapple sobbed, reminding her that she was still there.
"Get out of here," he growled, fluffing up his fur until he looked twice his size. Sundapple scampered out of the den. "Now, time to deal with you." He turned to her and stared her straight in the eyes."Any last words?"
Before she could protest, Thornfur blundered into the den. When he saw the two cats facing off, his eyes widened, but he still delivered his message.
"Darkstar, cats have been sighted on the Windclan border, but they are definitely not Windclan. And they're headed for our camp!"
"How many? Do they look like fighters?" Darkstar asked.
"About thirty, from what we could see, but there may be more. And they looked really big and intimidating!"
"Did you see the leader?"
"It was reported to be a huge, brown tabby tom with amber eyes. Someone along the lines of Tigerstorm, Tigersting..."
"Tigerstar! I know who these cats are, Darkstar." Moonfrost told Darkstar that these were none other than the Dark Forest cats, clan cats who had died but been rejected from Starclan as they had done something terrible in their life. The cats there were purely evil, and they spent every second of their time in the Dark Forest brutally training for battle. Some of there cats had been there since the legendary Firestar had joined the clans, and they were not a group to mess with.
Also, she had a feeling Tigerstar had a second-in-command, a spy in the living world.
Spiritclaw.
This was the darkness and shadow they had been warned of, not Moonfrost's black pelt. This was the real danger.
"If what you say is true, we may need to evacuate camp. But obviously, since you're a liar, we will stay here. We do not take orders from Moonfrost!"
Thunderclan was her home. Darkstar may have rejected her, but she would still protect her friends and family with her life. This was where she had been raised. She would have to evacuate as many cats as possible, starting with her parents, without Darkstar noticing.
She inhaled deeply and looked for a way out of the leader's den. Glancing over at Darkstar and Thornfur, deep in conversation, she edged towards the main and only exit. The second she stepped outside, Tigerstar stepped into camp with a smug expression. All heads turned as huge cats started flooding in and blocking every exit.
They were surrounded.
One silver pelt caught her eye. It was Spiritclaw, padding up to take his place beside Tigerstar and watch as kits wailed for their mothers and Hollycloud scampered into her den. No-one recognised these cats, but everyone knew what was happening.
Tigerstar flicked his tail, and all at once the Dark Forest cats leapt forward.
Dun dun duuuuuun! Ok, I admit, the unnecessary between Moonfrost and Thorn was just practice for me to write the main fight. You caught me!
Bye now!
