Shrewscar sat, looking down into the pool that shone light. The dark forest around him had nothing but emptiness, he had chosen his hiding place wisely. The pool suddenly glowed, and the water seemed to fade until it was like a reflection, but of a young gray tabby, who Shrewscar knew of. The gray tabby's name was Strikepaw, and he was a loyal apprentice of ShadowClan... For now...

Shrewscar slowly unsheathed his claws, and dipped one of them into the pool, swirling the water in a circle. You see, this was a reincarnation pool, one of the two that exist, one in Starclan, one here. Shrewscar was the only non-faded cat that knew about this pool, and he'd altered it.

He sensed that if he dipped his claws into the water and swirled them at an angle, something new would happen. You see, Shrewscar didn't want to be reincarnated and reborn as a kit, he wanted to get into another body, so he would keep his memories and possess the cat. Strikepaw of ShadowClan was just the unlucky victim.

Shrewscar kept stirring up the water until the ShadowClan apprentice could barely be seen through the rushing pool. Then, just when the pool began to splash, Shrewscar leapt into it, barely feeling the touch of water on his fur. He closed his eyes, knowing that when he opened them, he'd be in little Strikepaw's mind, and sure enough, when Shrewscar opened his blue orbs, the small gray tabby tom was standing in front of him.

"W-Who are you?" Strikepaw stuttered, looking around in the darkness. "W-Where are we?"

Shrewscar grinned, showing his still bloodstained teeth, slowly walking forward. "I am Shrewscar." He hissed, unsheathing his claws. "And where you are is not important, it is where you will be soon... Starclan!" And with that, he leaped.

Strikepaw opened his eyes where he'd been collapsed on the forest floor. His now blue eyes burned with revenge, and his shoulders extended until he was two times the size he used to be. "Heh...heh... That's lousy ShadowClan apprentice, he didn't even put up a good fight.." Strikepaw growled to himself, swishing his tail angrily.

"Well, at least I will have fun now..."

He turned in the direction to the ShadowClan camp, and began walking. On the way, he met up with a two cat patrol, of cats that went by the names of Blackheart and Skyblaze. "Strikepaw." Blackheart dipped his head in greetings, and Strikepaw attacked.

He flew at Blackheart, digging his claws into the dark Warrior's shoulder while biting into his neck, twisting his head to add deeper wounds. Blackheart yowled in shock and pain, and Skyblaze looked up. "Hey!" He snarled, leaping in to help his fellow Warrior.

But Strikepaw was too fast, jumping off of Blackheart's back he landed squarely on Skyblaze's neck and dug in, killing the tabby Warrior instantly.

Strikepaw landed on the ground and immediately attacked Blackheart once more, striking again and again until the Warrior sank down. "W-Why?..." He asked as blood gurgled in his ripped throat. Strikepaw grinned, and raised his paw for the killing blow. "Because I can." He hissed, slashing his claws and ending Blackheart's life.
