Thank you to everyone who reviewed.

Now I cleared up a little confusion about the name "Moonshine" in this chapter. I honestly didn't know what it meant. Moonshine's twolegs were moonshine makers, so they named their cat after it.

Sorry if Shard seems SUPER over-powered in this chapter.

Chapter 1

Shard

Shard leapt to her paws, her eyes wide. As she dashed outside she had to swerve to avoid Snipe. "Whoops! Sorry Snipe!" Shard yelped.

Snipe smiled "Be careful Shard!" He called.

Shard flicked her tail in acknowledgement and ran over to her father.

Her father turned and saw her and answered her almost spoken question. "Yes Shard, you will get your collar today."

Shard leapt in the air in glee but quickly pulled herself together and flattened her ears. The rules were was that she had to fight to get teeth for her collar.

Shard lifted her head "Who will I fight father?" She asked keeping her voice cold and collected, trying to imitate Scourge.

"Snipe will take you to face Snappy." Scourge replied.

Shard lifted her head and nodded and padded after Snipe.

Snappy, a fierce and vicious Scottish Terrier, prowled the gardens near the Shadowclan border. Many cats had tried to fight him and returned with mortal wounds.

She unsheathed her long curved claws and she felt Snipe flinch slightly. Shard leapt onto the fence bordering Snappy's garden.

Snappy was snoozing underneath a giant oak tree but he soon awoke the smell of cat. He bared his fangs and growled aggressively. Shard leapt down and brought her claws onto Snappy's head. Snappy let out a startled bark and ran around in circles trying to shake Shard off. Shard adjusted her grip, digging her claws deep into the dog's back. She grabbed the dog's throat in her mouth, her forepaws wrapping around Snappy's throat. The terrier let out a terrified howl and sank to it's knees.

Shard leapt up back to the fence and then plunged back down, using her full weight. Snappy's neck hit the ground with a sickening crunch, and Shard jumped off the dead dog, her forepaws dripping with blood.

Shard turned to face Snipe, his yellow eyes wide."G-g-good, now let's collect the t-t-teeth." Snipe stuttered as he helped Shard pull Snappy's fangs. Snipe shook himself then meowed, all the stutter gone from his voice. "Let's head back to camp and drop off the teeth, then we can go to Shadowclan." Shard nodded agreeably and followed Snipe back to camp.

As they returned Scourge let out a proud purr, "Good job my daughter. I didn't expect you to come back to quickly. Now that Shard has earned her first teeth, she shall add more. I will take her to the Shadowclan border." Snipe turned to leave, but glanced back at Scourge, his face was expressionless but his eyes blazed with hatred.

Scourge led Shard away from camp and they soon arrived at a dense stand of pine trees at the edge of the forest. "Follow me." Scourge said, then crept silently into the forest.

Shard let out a loud disdainful sniff "Yuck, what's that smell?" Shard spat.

Three cats stepped from the darkness "What you smell, is Shadowclan, little kitty-pet." Snarled a large grey tabby.

Shard unsheathed her long, wickedly sharp claws and a little white Shadowclanner flinched.

Scourge growled "I'm sure my daughter could defeat you all by herself."

The other cat, a tortoiseshell she-cat stepped forward "I don't think so."

With a yowl Shard leapt at the she-cat and soon the other two cats joined.

Scourge watched from a distance as Shard defeated all three cats, ruthlessly murdering them like a Bloodclanner would do.

First came the little white cat. As he fell the tortoiseshell let out a loud wail, "Frostpaw!"

Shard smiled, flexing her blood-stained claws ready to resume the fight.

The grey tabby meowed sharply "Focus on the battle Morningfeather! There will be time to grieve later."

As the battle continued Shard lunged, catching the tabby's neck in her teeth.

"No! Greystorm!" Morningfeather screamed hysterically.

Shard's eyes blazed in triumph as she tackled Morningfeather when she let down her guard and brought her claws across her neck.

Morningfeather let out a gurgled yowl and soon her breathing grew still.

"I'm proud of you, Shard. Pick your teeth and let's go back." Scourge purred.

Shard nodded after taking the cat teeth, padded back after Scourge to camp.

-Later at dusk-

Shard's black collar blended with her neck fur as she padded into her mother's den.

"Moonshine." Shard meowed, trotting over to her sleeping mother.

"Twolegs! Twolegs!" Moonshine sprang to her paws, her eyes wild. "No mother. No twolegs. It's just me." Shard soothed her mother. "Shard, when I was young," The white she-cat started but Shard cut her off. "I know the story mother. They named you after the liquid that made their breath smell and made them hit you. But mother, Scourge found you and took you away from them."

Moonshine looked at her daughter protectively, "Shard, never trust twolegs. Especially the ones with foul breath."
