Look, a mouse.
It had been four sunrises since Brambleclaw was forced to leave. He suspected that he had
been eating better than the clan, the day before he was forced to leave they had been fed nothing,
in fact, he had been eating more than he normally would have been able to, in this uncharted
territory.
He had slept well but often had nightmares about what was going on the clans.
It's a clear night tonight, He thought, Maybe I'll sleep well tonight.
He fell asleep soon and woke up in a nice clearing.
Well, it looks like I won't have a bad dream tonight, He thought.
"Hello, Brambleclaw."
"Firestar?" He turned around to see his old leader.
"Yes Brambleclaw, it is I."
"Firestar, what am I going to do? I can only imagine what is going in the clans."
"What is happening there is not of your concern at this moment."
"Bluestar? Do you have a message for me?"
"What you can't expect your old leader to give you a message?" Firestar questioned.
"That doesn't matter, Firestar. What does matter is that you need to go back to the clans.
We need you to get the other clans to help thunderclan."
"How will I do that? It will take me over four sunrises to get back."
"Just remember, Brambleclaw: The fall of the Dark One will be by a kill of redemption. The fall of the Dark One will kill four from four. The fall of the Dark One will destroy all that follow in the darkness. The destruction will be massive and the casualties will be many. Only the Traitor can save the clans."
Brambleclaw's vision started to grow darker.
"Wait! What does it mean? Stop giving me prophesies that don't make sense!"
He woke up a ruffled and covered in dirt, as if he had been tossing and turning in his sleep.
"Huh, Starclan, so helpful." he muttered as he began his long journey back to the clans.
...
"Cloudtail! Present yourself before your new leader!" Hollystar called.
He slowly walked out of the den and towards her.
"What...do...you...want..." he wheezed.
"I'm tired of your rebellious behavior," she stated. " I must do something to make sure
you and the rest of this pitiful clan never do anything to attempt to rebel so..."
"Look at me, I'm skin and bones, no one else is any different, how could we rebel?
She unsheathed her claws, and brought them up and just barely missed his throat.
"I suggest you shut up, and listen, you are to behave..."
"No! I will not" he stated stronger than he felt. "You will not tell me what to do!" this
brought some of the rouges closer, even though Cloudtail saw this, he did not back down. Some
of the other Thunderclan cats also looked out. "How could you do this! We were your family,
we..."
She slit his throat and blood splattered all over. "Here my rouges! Drink!" Hollystar
shouted.
All the rouges jumped over to lap up some blood, they hadn't tasted blood or cat for too
long. Even hollystar lapped some up.
All the clan cats watching shrieked.
"Listen Thunderclan! You will not disobey!" Hollystar shouted to the clan cats. "You will
follow under my rule, and you may join me if it is your wish! Join me and you will eat well
forevermore!" she dove her head right into his skull and pulled out Cloudtail's brain and walked
over to the elder's den.
"If you wish to join me, join me first in dinner." She took a bite of the brain.
Birchfall stepped forward.
"Hollystar, it is my wish to join you." he stated.
"Take a bite, and you will sleep with the rest of the new Thunderclan"
He sniffed the brain and hesitated. He took a little bite. His eyes opened wide and he took
another.
"This is good." was all he could say.
"HOW COULD YOU!" Screeched Sandstorm.
She leaped out of the den and attacked Birchfall, who immediately fell to the ground.
"HOW COULD YOU! HE WAS PART OF YOUR CLAN! HOW COULD YOU EAT
YOUR FRIEND?! HOW COULD YOU JOIN HER? SHE KILLED YOUR LEADER!"
"Skullbeast, come over here and brake these two up." Hollystar commanded.
Skullbeast walked over and grabbed Sandstorm by the scruff and lifted her off the ground.
At this all the energy seemed to leave her, she went limp. Skullbeast dropped her at Hollystar's
paws.
"Pity, I didn't want to have to kill too much family." she placed her paw firmly on
Sandstorms head and unsheathed her claws. "Good-bye, Sandstorm." She forced her paw down
so it went through her head.
"Tonight," she shouted, "We feast!"
She slit down the belly of Sandstorm and let her steamy innards fall out. She picked the
intestine to start with and cut it in half and started slurping the slimy, bloody thing up.
As she and the rouges ate the two former members of Thunderclan, the remaining members cried, and screamed in terror and disgust of the brutality of Hollystar and her rouges
cannibalism.
"Hollystar, my queen," Bonescar, her medicine cat said. " May I suggest the eyes to have,
they are all the squishy goodness you desire."
'I will." She responded as she used her claws to shred the face of poor Sandstorm and
hook out an eyeball. "Mmmm, what a delicacy."
A/N: Blood and brains and intestines galore, what a terribly gruesome chapter, and a long
one too! I was getting close to a thousand words with this chapter so yay!
