The ThunderClan cats stealthily walked through the undergrowth into ShadowClan territory, the battle was here. Screeches echoed through the forest and neither RiverClan or ThunderClan had arrived yet.

"Everyone hurry! We must get there before RiverClan!" Bramblestar informed. Forgetting about all silence, ThunderClan noisily sprinted onto the battlefield right before RiverClan came.

Maplepaw's first opponent were two WindClan apprentices. They ran towards her at a fast speed and zig zagged their way under Maplepaw's stomach. Using unsheathed claws, they raked Maplepaw's stomach multiple times.

Maplepaw hissed in pain and felt fury rising inside of her. Using her fury she bit into an apprentices shoulder and he winced from his dislocated shoulder bone. He limped away and the other WindClan apprentice swiftly clawed Maplepaw's ear. Ignoring the stinging pain in her ear, Maplepaw jumped and landed perfectly on the apprentices back, causing the apprentice to fall.

The WindClan apprentice squirmed away in pain but Maplepaw bit into her tail to add another scar to her.

A RiverClan warrior charged into Maplepaw making her crash into a tree. Maplepaw felt too dizzy to realize her fur being torn up by the RiverClan warrior which she now realized was Hollowflight from the gatherings. She was about to give Maplepaw the finishing bite when she was pulled back by Nightpaw.

"STOP!" A deep voice yowled. The battle paused for a second and everyone looked at Onestar, who had Rowanclaw and Squirrelflight pinned down. "I will kill both of ThunderClan and ShadowClan's deputies if Blackstar doesn't give in." Onestar announced.

Blackstar shook his head stubbornly. Onestar snarled in rage and bit into Rowanclaw's neck slowly so that everyone could hear her screams. Maplepaw hissed under her breath and quietly came up behind Onestar. Without hesitation, she leaped and tore Onestar's ear off as she landed beside him.

The WindClan leader growled and let go of Rowanclaw's neck. He turned to Maplepaw with blood dripping down his face. "I'll kill your deputy first!" He went to Squirrelflight's side and was about to sink his teeth into her fur when Maplepaw bit down hard on his tail and heard a snap.

Onestar looked at Maplepaw with horror when he saw his tail tip broken.

"You wouldn't dare kill Squirrelflight!" Maplepaw snarled. Onestar hissed and slashed a claw down Maplepaw's face. The battle resumed once Lionblaze attacked Onestar to defend Maplepaw. The world became blurrier and blurrier until Maplepaw saw nothing but Lionclaw's worried face before she fell to the ground in pain.

Maplepaw grunted when she awoke in a cacoon of pain. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Breezepelt sitting in front of her. Where was she?

"You are in the dark forest Maplepaw, you belong here." Breezepelt mewed. "I just have to say three words and your memories will come flowing back."

Maplepaw stared shocked at Breezepelt. She'd heard of him before, he betrayed WindClan to stay loyal to the dark forest, how dare he say Maplepaw was evil? "I do not belong here!"

"Maplepaw, these words might destroy you or bring you back to us." Breezepelt took in a breath. "You are Maplesha-"

"No," A cat growled. It was Firestar! The former ThunderClan leader pounced on Breezepelt, almost threatening him to tell Maplepaw the final word. "If you do say this last word I will personally, eliminate you." Firestar snarled.

Breezepelt and Firestar? What was the meaning of this? Maplepaw could not contain her curiosity anymore. "What are the words?"

Firestar put his paw to Breezepelt's muzzle and glared menacingly at Maplepaw. The apprentice took a little step back and bumped into another white cat. "Snowtuft? How do I know you?" Maplepaw whispered.

Snowtuft grinned evilly. "Because you are my mentor. Once a cat dies for the second time they instantly get reincarnated. Sadly, your soul is mixed with Spottedleaf's and Lionclaw is actually Tigerstar and Lionheart. You, my dear are our leader, Mapleshade."

Maplepaw gasped in shock as memories came flowing back to her, oh the horror of remembering her past life as Mapleshade. He mate betrayed her, her kits died, and "Revenge." Maplepaw breathed. "I must have my revenge,"

Firestar covered his ears with his paws while Maplepaw, no Mapleshade, screamed from whatever horrors she saw from her memories. Snowtuft and Breezepelt grinned at their success, and asked Maplepaw to be their leader in the dark forest again.

"I have to think about it." Maplepaw answered.

Breezepelt ginned. "Yes, you can have all the time in the world to think about our offer, Mapleshade."

Clearkit's P.O.V. (Point of view)

I am Clearkit, a warrior of ThunderClan! Well, actually I'm a kit but I'm almost a warrior! Right? Blossomfall is my mommy and she says that our daddy isn't here. Who is he anyway? Mommy also says I have sky blue eyes and Snow white fur, like my daddy apparently!

Tonight I will explore camp and practice walking silently as well as those hunting crouches and battle moves I saw the apprentices doing earlier this morning. I like
the night because it has a nice breeze and a pretty moon! I'm the smallest of my litter, but I'll show them that I'm the strongest!

Night is almost here so I'll sleep for now and wake up when the moon rises.
