Chapter 20
A Quarter moon later.
Lionstrike was in the warriors den laying in his nest. He was thinking about the battle that was in a couple moons.
His kits would definitely be born then. What if the kits die right after they were born? Lionstrike didn't know the answer.
He drifted into sleep and woke up in a dark place. This was definitely not Starclan. But what was this place?
"Hello." a deep voice growled.
"Who is there?" snarled Lionstrike.
"So you are part of the three…" a figure said as it came out. "I am Scarstar. The most evil cat in the history of Moonclan. And leader of the great battle."
"So this is the dark forest." murmured Lionstrike. "Why am I here Scarstar?"
Scarstar laughed. "I brought you here….I am going to kill you and your brothers. One at a time."
Lionstrike flinched. "What? Why?"
"To get you out of the way, but I'm not killing you alone." Scarstar snarled.
Just then a bunch of cats came out. There were more cats than there were in the clan. They all looked ready to kill.
Lionstrike looked around. He was definitely outnumbered, but Lionstrike was an invincible cat. He could not get hurt.
"Guess you forgot about my powers. I. Am. Invincible." Lionstrike snarled.
Scarstar had an evil look in his eye. "No. You can't be killed. But you can be killed here."
Lionstrike stiffened. The air was different here. They weren't fighting here though. Why wouldn't they if he could be killed here? The answer. That was the plan all along.
Scarstar knew about his powers so he used the dark forest to kill him before the battle to give the dark forest an advantage.
"Starclan help me…" Lionstrike whispered.
Scarstar lunged at Lionstrike. Lionstrike jumped out of the way and ran. There was no other option. What if I die here? he thought. Is this…the end?
The other cats ran after him. Lionstrike ran for his life. Suddenly a cat was in front of him. A gray she-cat. Moonstar!
"Moonstar!" exclaimed Lionstrike
"Hello Lionstrike. Scarstar. Why are you attacking him?" Moonstar asked.
"That's not important," snarled Scarstar "Get out of here!"
"I expected better from my son…but no. I had to have the most evil cat in history." Moonstar meowed with no emotion.
Scarstar is Moonstar's son! Thought Lionstrike.
"Moonstar…You never changed." said Scarstar with a look in his eye. "I guess you want me to stop this huh?"
"Yes, if you are going battle Starclan, do it fair." Moonstar asked while walking away. "Come Lionstrike." said Moonstar.
Moonstar and Lionstrike walked out of the dark forest going into Starclan.
Again Sorry its short. Next chapter Moonstar's history then the chapter after that a moon before the battle. Then the chapter after that…The Big Battle Part 1-3.
