Chapter 2
Foxpaw was frozen with surprise, and terror. Grapplelight laughed coldly. "Surprised, Foxer?" Grapplelight always called Foxpaw Foxer. "We are a the clan killers. Sadly the memebrs from WindClan, RiverClan, and ThunderClan couldn't make it. Patrols, hunting. That stupid stuff. But I made it! So did they!" she said with pride pointing with her tail at the ShadowClan warriors.
Grapplelight was a gold cat with black stripes from her neck to her tail. She had needle like claws which were digging into Foxpaw's shoulders. "Foxer, you see I have been thinking, and you are a agile, strong cat, worthy of joining our group. Our goal is to destroy the clans, and kill every cat but our families and friends. Yes, the clans are stupid, when we overthrow them I will lead our new life!" The ShadowClan cats cheered with joy.
Foxpaw squirmed under Grapplelight's claws. "W-why do you want to destroy the clans, we have food, and shelter here!"
Grapplelight shook her head sadly. "Foxer, the one thing you lack is pride, I am not going to let the leaders control me and my friends and family! With the new life I will create a new system where every cat is honored, but they have to earn it! They can't just get nine lives because they were deputy and the leader died! They would have to show their strength, and intelligence!" Grapplelight grinned at the thought.
Foxpaw gulped, "B-but you will kill innocent cats!"
Grapplelight hissed in annoyance "Maybe you are not what I thought your were Foxpaw! You are a clan lover. I will not have any clan lovers in my group Foxer. So you will be the first to go to StarClan. The only fair clan in the world!"
Grapplelight took one paw off Foxpaw and leaned back ready to swipe through Foxpaw's neck. Foxpaw struggled to get away, and just as Grapplelight swiped Foxpaw broke free. She only grazed Foxpaw's neck. "GRAB HER!" Grapplelight screamed.
Foxpaw leaped away jumping from branch to branch but the older cats surrounded her. One got close enough to make a deep slash in her flank. Foxpaw leaped at him and bit his nose then landed on a branch beside him. Another cat leaped down on Foxpaw, when he landed on her an loud CRACK filled the air.
The two fell through the air and landed with a thud. Foxpaw scrambled to her paws but the cat grabbed her with his claws and pulled her towards him. She yowled for help, as the cat held her to the ground. Golden paws with black stripes landed in front of Foxpaw. "I'll do the honors Shadowfang." Grapplelight said.
"The first death of a new war" Grapplelight said grinning. "Let her up, Shadowfang, let her try!" The paws on her back left and Foxpaw scrambled to her feet. "Oh, Foxer I'll tell your mother that you fell from a tree and got all scratched up by branches until you broke your neck, then you won't seem to be such a great climber!" Grapplelight laughed.
Foxpaw hissed at Grapplelight. "Your no mentor of mine and when I get back to camp I'll tell everyone about your group then you'll be banned!"
The two lunged at each other. Foxpaw only just cut Grapplelight, when her claws sliced through her ear tip cutting it and making her ear look more like a V at the tip. Foxpaw yelped as the blood fell into her eyes. But she kept fighting. She broke away from Grapplelight, and saw she was surrounded by ShadowClan cats.
Then she leaped at Grapplelight scratching her nose so hard that she was sure it would leave an ugly scar. Then she rolled under her and raked at her belly. But Grapplelight whipped around just as Foxpaw got to her paws. Grapplelight tackled Foxpaw pinning her down. "Time to die Foxer." She hissed.
Foxpaw knew this was the end she closed her eyes and waited for StarClan to greet her. But instead there was a yelp and Grapplelight was off her. When she opened her eyes no one was there, only a sparkly, silver tuft of fur, and the paw prints of Grapplelight and her gang.
