Chapter 18

A/N Sorry I haven't posted a new chap in a while. but i suddenly had a great idea for a chapter so here you go. enjoy!

Darkpaw sat alone next to the river shore. She stared into the river water, thinking about the prophecy. The only thing keeping her from a normal warrior life. "Hmm...I still wonder who 'One to kill us all' is...though I'm pretty sure everyone else forgot about it…"Darkpaw sighed.

"Ughhh...we're here, your majesty…" Lightpaw yawned, along with the two others.

"Erm, are you guys okay?" Darkpaw asked.

"Tired, no thanks to you." Redpaw sighed. "Now, did you bring us out here to kill us or…"

Darkpaw saw Lightpaw wince at the word 'kill', but decided not to ask her about it. "Now, I'm know you guys know about the attacks that have been going on, with the erasing memory things…" Darkpaw stated, "But we're here to talk about the one attack with that Shadowclan cat…"

Saying that got everyone's attention. "What about it?"

"Well, I don't think his death was an accident...I'm sure that the one to kill us all, Is in Thunderclan. We just need to find out who, then we will fulfill the prophecy." Darkpaw said.

"How do you know It wasn't an accident? You can't say that unless you know it's true! Now, unless you have something more important to say, I'm leaving!" Redpaw hissed, then left.

"Wait! Redpaw-" Darkpaw called.

"Actually, I agree with Redpaw. Unless you have something that's actually important, I think this meeting is pointless." Nightpaw agreed, then left.

"No wait!" Darkpaw begged. But Nightpaw kept on going.

"Their both right, you know. That could've had nothing to with the prophecy. I'm leaving." Lightpaw coldly said.

Then she left. Darkpaw stared in awe, gasping about how cold they all had been. "Why…?"

Darkpaw was about to leave herself, but she heard a loud yowl. Darkpaw rushed over to where the yowl was, and saw Lightpaw, Redpaw, and Nightpaw looming over four cats bodies.

"W-what!?" Darkpaw gasped. Did one of them...do this?

Darkpaw rushed over to the cats, checking to see if they were alive. One of the cats were dead, but the rest were barely alive. Darkpaw quickly used some of the cobwebs around that small area to stop the bleeding.

"Well? Get me some marigold, and any other herb you can find!" Darkpaw ordered.

A few moments later she was given the herbs. She quickly gave it to the cats, each herb at a time. 'Yes, juniper, it will hel-' Darkpaw stopped her thoughts. She blocked Lightpaw out, then started trembling.

'This isn't juniper…' Darkpaw stared at the berry in horror. 'This is a death berry….who ever gave me this is trying to kill those cats!'

Darkpaw nearly feel over from the surprise of this new information. Daring herself, she sniffed at the death berry to find a ffamilier smell. 'NO WAY...N-NO...' Darkpaw thought, 'But why?!'

….

Lightpaw

….

"Why do you think Darkpaw started shaking yesterday?" Redpaw asked.

"Don't know. Maybe one of them had a worse wound then the rest?" Nightpaw said.

"Well, they all survived. Except for that one she cat…." Lightpaw murmured.

It looked like Nightpaw was about to say something else, but he was interrupted by the voice of the clans leader. Bramblestar had just called a clan meeting.

"I wonder what its for…" some cats murmured.

"Oh, right! With everything going on, I almost forgot!" Redpaw remembered, "Your warrior ceremony!"

Lightpaw was called up.

"Lightpaw, so you promise to uphold the warrior code, even if it costs you your life?" Bramblestar asked.

"I do!" Lightpaw said confidently.

"Then by the powers of StarClan, you will now be known as Lightheart." Bramblestar nodded as the clan cheered.

'Wow, after everything that's happened, I totally forgot about my normal life!' Lightheart thought.

Lightheart gratefully nodded at the leader, then stepped down from highrock. Her eyes met with Darkpaw as she coldly stared at her. Lightheart tried to smile, but Darkpaw shot her away with a suspicious, cold stare, turning around.

'What's wrong with her..?' Lightheart thought.

"Lightheart! Congratulations!" Lightningpaw suddenly appeared in front of her.

"Eeks! Uh, thanks! I'm sure you'll be a warrior real soon though!" Lightheart silently cheered.

"Uh, Lightheart, can I talk to you for a moment?" Darkpaw asked.

"Sure." Lightheart followed Darkpaw into deep woods with small glimmers of sunlight peeking through each branch on some of the trees that hung overhead them. They soon appeared in an open space, with a cliff that stood high enough to see almost anything from below. Darkpaw faced Lightheart, without moving an inch while saying this.

"Lightheart, I know you tried to poison the barely alive cats earlier." Lightheart flinched.

"I don't know what your talking about." Lightheart said coldly.

"Oh, right. Sorry, I was wrong. Lightheart didn't poison them. You did, who ever you are." Darkpaw growled. "And with that, I would like to know what you did to my real sister!"

Lightheart snickered. "Aw...I thought I'd be able to keep pretending like this for longer...ugh. I killed your sister long ago. But, I would like to ask. How did you know?"

Darkpaw took a pawstep forward, tears coming from her eyes. "Because when I smelled the Deathberry, there was no scent. Thats when I remembered, when you turned into Silverstream, you had no scent either. And even before you turned into her, the real Lighthearts scent was beginning to...fade. But who are you, really then?"

"Hm. I dont know who I am. I have turned into many over my life, that cats call me nameless. Well, too bad you won't be here to tell anyone about this. Now I'll send you where your dead sister is, and shut you up!" Nameless lunged at Darkpaw, and clawed at her ears.

They broke out into an all out fight. Darkpaw was panting, and was about to fall over, so Nameless took it to her advantage. Or so she thought. Darkpaw quickly knocked her down, and clawed her so she was knocked out.

"I...I wo-"

"Not yet!"

Nameless knocked into her, pushing her down the cliff. "Ugh...s-she won...and lost, too..."

Reacting too late to notice there was Deathberries in her mouth. "Brother...kill em for me...okay?" she sputtered, and her vision got swallowed into darkness.
