chapter 17 Brambleclaw Shadowpaw
Brambleclaw. Pov
The camp is littered with fur and blood from my fight to take over. After I killed Cherrystar and the deputy; some other cats took it upon themselfs to try and stop me! Now they lay dead at my paws!
Mostly that pesky, medicine cat Echosomg. Now that the cats that challenged me are gone I will travel to the Moon pool for my new lives.
"Icefall, come here," I call to the white warrior. He comes over his tail raised in joy. Yes this will be a good leadership.
"You call Brambleclaw?" He sat down, wrapping his tail around his paws.
"Watch the clan while I'm gone, use force if necessary, and I'm bringing in a new cat, her name is Rosethorn, she is my mate. Or so she likes to think. But really she is a pawn in the long game. So go fetch my mate. Or send Firefox."
ICEFALL purred In agreement, "of course, master Brambleclaw." He then turned to fresh kill pile.
I can't help but wonder if I made the right choice, making my move now...oh well now I must go to the Moonpool.
"Frecklewish, let's go!,"
The only remaining Medicine cat, slowly got to her paws. I growl at her urging her to walk faster.
"This is wrong, Bramble," she spoke bold but fear undertoned her words.
I turn on her with slicing claws, "silence she cat!"
She yelped and fell silent.
#at the Moonpool#
I lap at the water, letting the cold liquid wash over my tongue, freezing my body making my eyes grow heavy with sleep.
When I open my eyes, I see the green of Starclan, but the stink of the dark forest baths my tongue.
I'm happy, my father is here to see me get my new life.
But then I see a flame colored cat coming forth, blood running from his nose, what hapoened?
"The five cats that I have chosen Come forth or be forever killed.
"Swiftpaw, Feathertail, goldenflower, Bluestar, sunstar " that was to make the Sissy's law of Starclan. Happy. I now call Mapleshade, Brokenstar and Firestar"
The starclan, cats seemed mortified at the the thought of giving me my nine lives but I guess they fear Fading more than than me.
"With this life I give you, "Protection" , protect what is yours," swiftpaw dashed away. Leaving Brambleclaw, to his fate of gathering lives. He got "ambition, from Feathertail, Courage from Goldenflower,
"Love from,Bluestar, "respect" from sunstar.
He wanted howl his misery to the world the pain from getting his lives.
But soon it was over. The rest he got from the dark forest.
"Hate, from Mapleshade, "revenge from Brokentail. But at last he got his final life from Firestar.
The ginger leader limped up to him. Questions of why or what did I do wrong circled in his eyes.
"BRAMBLEclaw, welcome to the Ranks of leader..." he trailed off, he scuffed his paws In, the grass. TIGERSTAR growled at him...but Firestar, did not back down. "I won't give him his ninth life. Make me Fade, Tigerstar!" He then launched himself at me claws ready. To spill my blood, I realized that he wants to end me. Fat chance, dearie, I rear standing tall on my back legs I slice down ward with my claws. I catch the kitty pet in one blow but before I can end him. My father speaks.
"I give you the life of killing, not to hesitate to just spill blood,"
FIRESTAR gasped and clawed at Mapleshade, whom came over to hold him down.
The lives I got felt heavy, darkness and light fault for control but I knew one thing.
I was leader of sky clan no mater what came my way!
"BRAMBLECLaw, you old life is no longer the same. You are now Bramblestar leader of Skyclan, use your lives wisely."
Stars began to fade, bit not before Firestar words reached my ears, "three will defeat you!
Shadowpaw. Pov
I stare at the stars, waiting for an attack I knew was coming, I'm happy to fight for Darkus.
WINDCLAN sleeps as I and some other warrior keep watch. But I have other plans I just know they are coming coming out of the tunnels.
Soon I catch the scent of the Bloodclan, warriors and I Do Not sound the alarm!
Cats streak into camp yowling, and the kits wailed next to their mothers, Weaselstar, raced from his den, fur rumpled from sleep, I launch myself at him but is blindsided by Cornstrike dark us is only daughter and heir to Bloodclan. Snarling I claw her also. I don't care. I want a new order amongst the clans.
"Watch it Clanner!" The yellow she cat with green eyes spat as we untangled ourselves and I could not help but admire her lithe, shape, the coldness in her eyes. I shake my head to clear my thoughts. More wails sounded as the ruthless warriors tore into the den, dragging kits and elders out into the center of camp
Darkus, leaped onto the HighStump, he halted the fighting much to my dissatisfaction, but he will be our leader soon.
"Cats of Windclan, this is just a test of what will come to all the clans when you disobey me next moon. YOU WILL FALL!"
With a sweep of his tail he ordered the death of two of the elders one warrior, Nightcloud, and a queen, along with one of the six kits.. I never knew them but it shocked the clan to its core.
WEASELSTAR, BOWED to Darkus, I smile.
"My clan is yours," he said with a mourning look in his eyes.
"Good, to hear," darkus purred..."Bloodclan let's go," with that and with blood staining the ground under his black paws, Darkus left Windclan in a mess . cats may have been sad but I was very happy, change needs to come to the clans and if that means spilling blood so be it!
