Chapter Two
Dovewing opened her eyes and saw a sparkling border of stars under her paws. SHe turned to the right and saw a beautiful, prey-rich forest filled with cats who seemed so happy. To the left, a dank, dim forest filled with rotting things and angry cats.
"Make your choice, Dovewing. The Dark Forest or StarClan." A voice said. She looked around for the cat who said it, but they were nowhere to be seen.
"Come to the Dark Forest, to get your revenge," hissed Mapleshade.
"No way, you're the one who killed me! I wouldn't go over there even if you tried to drag me." Dovewing lifted her nose and stepped to the StarClan side.(Because she was afraid Mapleshade would try to drag her)
"Fine." snapped Mapleshade. "Rot with the goody-goodies forever for all I care. You'll never know who has betrayed your Clan to help me destroy Firestar's kin!"
Dovewing stiffened, then hissed, "I. Don't. Care. If someone is betraying ThunderClan then I will find out."
"Good luck." sneered Mapleshade.
unknown POV
The tom padded down a rotting path. There.
"Mapleshade!" he called accusingly. "I thought we were going to start with Leafpool or Jayfeather, not Dovewing!" He glared, amber eyes cutting through the darkness. Mapleshade padded toward him, "My dear little kitten, I murder who I want to. What you want doesn't play in. You wanted your revenge. You are getting it. That little she-cat has gotten what she deserves for sneaking off with that ShadowClan warrior and breaking your tiny little heart." She smirked. "Next, I'll need you to draw Jayfeather out of camp, and I will take care of the rest. Don't worry, no one will suspect you, and Bramblestar will make you deputy once all of that kittypet's kin are gone."
The tom stepped into the faint shaft of light, his pale gray fur slashed through with the black stripes. "Yes, that is what I want." he agreed.
"Good, I knew you'd be a good recruit. Just like your sister Blossomfall. Bumblestripe, remember to keep our little conversations hidden."
"I know." he nodded.
