Chapter 7:

Icestar flattened herself to the ground, ears pinned to her head as she watched Swiftpatch through narrowed eyes. Finally, I can have my revenge, Swiftpatch.

Swiftpatch crouched down, and fixed her gaze on Icestar's hiding place. The white she-cat's blood ran cold. Uh oh…she must've spotted me. Holding her breath, Icestar lowered herself onto her belly and watched. The black and white she-cat pounced. Icestar jumped up, and landed behind Swiftpatch.

"Sorry, darling," she purred in a honey-sweet voice. "You need to be a bit faster if you want to play that game." Swiftpatch snarled at her.

"Intruder! Get off of FrostClan territory!" She charged at Icestar, but the white she-cat was too fast.

"Don't tell me you're getting tired already," Icestar meowed innocently. She curled her tail over her paws. "It would be a shame if we couldn't play this any longer." Swiftpatch lunged at her again, but Icestar misjudged her sharp eyes. Claws latched on to her flesh, and Icestar yowled in pain. She flung off the heavy she-cat, eyes wild.

"Enough playing around," she hissed. "This is where the battle really starts." Icestar ran towards her, first leaping up but then sliding just in time under Swiftpatch's belly. She started pummeling with all her might, claws scoring deep inside Swiftpatch's belly.

"Stop! Let me go!" Swiftpatch wailed. Icestar curled her lip.

"This is only the beginning, honey," she whispered. Icestar lunged forward, leaping onto Swiftpatch's back and holding on as the old warrior tried to buck her off. Icestar tumbled onto the ground, and Swiftpatch dove onto Icestar, squashing the smaller she-cat. Icestar wriggled out, and faced Swiftpatch, tail lashing.

"Ready for more?" Swiftpatch spat. Icestar grinned.

"I'm always ready." With those words, Icestar disappeared into the bushes with a rustle. Swiftpatch was left staring around, confused, and scared. Suddenly, with a snarl, Icestar launched herself from a nearby tree and sprang nimbly onto Swiftpatch's back. Without waiting, not even the tiniest hesitation, Icestar plunged her fangs into Swiftpatch's neck.

"No!" A blood-curling shriek followed Swiftpatch's last words, desperate, scared, and hateful. Icestar grinned, and licked the blood off of her muzzle. She grabbed the dead warrior's scruff and laid her on the border.

"May this be a warning to all cats near!" Icestar yowled, though no one could hear. "Do not try fighting DarkClan." With those words, she walked away, feeling like one part of her heart was light and easy, no longer weighed down by hate.

"Watch it!" A snarl sounded to her left. Icestar whirled around, claws out, fur bristling. A gray tabby tom crouched, eyes furious.

"You watch it," Icestar retorted, flexing her claws. "I can bring any of my cats here to shred you." The look in the tom's eyes softened to curiosity.

"Cats?" He pricked his ears. "Evil cats? You mean, the ones who will kill for their leader?" Icestar rolled her eyes.

"Obviously," she snapped, tail flicking. "Now make this quick. Do you want to join?" The tom looked skywards.

"I'll stay for a few days and then make up my mind," he finally mewed. Icestar bristled.

"No," she replied. "It's a yes or no question." The tom also bristled.

"Fine, yes!" he snarled. "Take me to your den." Icestar blocked him as he started towards camp.

"No, first, you have to drop that attitude of yours," she hissed. "Don't question my orders." With those words, she headed into camp.

"DarkClan!" she yowled. "A new cat has joined us!" she motioned for the tom to step forward. "What is your name?"

"Brave," he replied, chin up, eyes flashing. "My name is Brave." Icestar snorted.

"Yeah. Whatever. He will receive his warrior name now, since he is full grown, but will continue apprentice duties and fully received as a warrior." Brave stood straighter.

"That's not fair!" Shadow complained.

"Hush!" Icestar snapped. "From now on, he shall be known as Braveglare." She sent an icy glance at Shadow. "He shall have his loyalty test right away." She turned to Braveglare. "Braveglare, kill a cat you know well, and bring the body to me afterwards." The gray tom sent her a quick nod and raced out.

LINE BREAK

"Icestar!" Silver called to her. Icestar looked at the apprentice, blinking lazily, before joining her.

"Problem?" she asked.

"Braveglare hasn't returned yet!" Silver looked worriedly at the entrance, her tail tip flicking.

"Why should he?" Icestar snorted. "He has until moonhigh." She turned around. "Stop being so worried and just go back to your den." With those words, she climbed back to her nest. Icestar woke up again a few hours later. The den was dark, and silver light filtered into her den. She blinked, and climbed down to the ground. The air was damp and moist, and smelled of vomit and Twoleg waste.

"Braveglare!" she called softly. Two, wide yellow eyes blinked in the shadows of a small, nest like Twoleg toy.

"Yes?" he called back. Icestar flicked her tail for him to come to her.

"Where is the body?" she demanded. Braveglare looked sheepishly at the ground.

"About that…" Icestar stood taller.

"Continue."

"The cat I killed was…never mind…." Braveglare shook his head, muttering. The dark gray tabby padded outside, his tail twitching. "It's over there." He flicked his tail at a small, dark shape, lying crumpled and motionless on the ground. Icestar padded to it and sniffed it.

It stank faintly of Twoleg waste and dirty Thunderpath water. It smelled faintly of milk, and Twolegs. Icestar inspected the body, checking for wounds. There was a small gash on its neck, and several wounds down its back. Icestar drew herself to her full height.

Braveglare did not kill this cat! He's tricking me!

Well, my lovelies? Do you like this chapter? It's a filler. Please, if you have read Regret, do not flame anymore. Let me repeat…I HAVE NOT READ BRIGHTEYES OF THUNDERCLAN'S PERFECTION YET, SO STOP THAT PLEASE! Let me take a breath…
