Nightstar looked around. They really did win the battle! She glared at Bramblestar's dead body of which has finally stopped bleeding. She narrowed her bright blue eyes and padded to the leaders den. The entrance to the Nursery was no longer blocked as the barracade of brambles was moved.
"Great StarClan, we actually won! The forest is saved!" Dawnfall yowled happily. Nightstar couldn't help but purr at the fact that her Clan was still here and the forest was no longer living in fear. She had to tell the other Clans so they could stop worrying. She padded out of the den and soon towards the ThunderClan border. Luckily, a patrol saw her; the warriors stared at Nightstar, but she recognized one of them...Cloudrunner!
She dug her claws in the ground. She shuddered at the rather embarassing memories from the last gathering. "Hey there, Nightstar! Where'd you get those scratches? Did Bramblestar get ya?" One of the warriors teased. Nightstar gave them a rather serious look, and the warrior shuddered. "O-oh..." they simply mewed.
"Well, just so you know, ThunderClan doesn't have to fear him anymore; he attacked our camp and we killed him." Nightstar explained. "Pass on the message to the other Clans." The warriors nodded and Cloudrunner stared at Nightstar, causing the ShadowClan leader to turn away and rush back to camp. She returned to her den and curled up, tired. "Uh...N-Nightstar?" A cat meowed. "Come in." Nightstar meowed.
The medicine cat, Pineleaf, padded in the den with a few herbs. "I have come here to tend to your wounds." Pineleaf explained. "No need, Pineleaf. They don't hurt anymore." Nightstar purred reassuringly. "But it may be for the best to try and clean them before they get infected." Pineleaf meowed gently. Nightstar nodded slowly as she didn't think that.
Pineleaf began to tend to her wounds. Nightstar winced a few times due to the stinging, but she didn't mind it. "There. Also, do the other Clans know about the death of Bramblestar?" Pineleaf asked. Nightstar nodded, explaining why she left the den a while ago. Pineleaf nodded slowly, meowing a quick goodbye, and soon leaving the den.
Nightstar fell asleep as she was tired after the battle. She was in a bright forest, the moon shining brightly like the sun above her. She continued to pad forward until she came across a massive clearing with hundreds of white outlines of cats. She was in StarClan's territory! She looked around, eyes wide in wonder.
"Nightstar..." A voice called and Nightstar turned around to see a blue-gray tom with yellow eyes (In this series, the StarClan cat's will be white outlines of themselves and their fur and eye colors will be pale). "It's me...Rainstar of ShadowClan..." He meowed. Nightstar stared at Rainstar and nodded. Suddenly, she was in ShadowClan's territory with Rainstar. She looked around.
She heard loud hisses and yowls and soon saw the camp. Hundreds of cats, two full Clans, were fighting constantly. Soon it all faded away to skip a few moons in the future. The other cats had won the battle and the forest was theirs. "A dark day will come...and everything will change..." Rainstar meowed distantly.
Nightstar woke up, breathing heavily. The prophecy eachoed in her mind; A dark day will come...and everything will change... It caused her to shudder. She padded out of her den, only to see it was already Moon-high. She gasped; she had slept most of the day away! She sighed.
Nightstar left the camp to go hunting. She returned with a few mice and birds and she set them on the pile. She sat in the clearing and stared at the sky, staring at all of the stars of Silverpelt. She sighed and remembered the ominous prophecy. She then returned to her den.
She curled up and fell asleep. She had the same dream. She woke up a while later and it was the morning. She yawned and padded out if her den, stretching. She felt as if she ran around ShadowClan's territory about 10 times without stopping!
"Good morning, Nightstar." Pineleaf meowed. "Good morning." Nightstar responded. Nightstar soon decided to rest in the clearing for a bit. She was oddly exhausted. She saw Bramblestar's body as they didn't move it.
"Want us to take the body away?" Rosetail asked. "It'd probably be best to take a warrior or two with you, but sure." Nightraven responded gently. Rosetail nodded and Ivyclaw, Firepaw, and Brokentail helped Rosetail take the body away. Everything seemed to be normal; Kits were play-fighting; Apprentices were excited to train; the medicine cat was sorting herbs; the warriors were either out battle training, hunting, or sunning themselves; the queens were sharing tongues in the Nursery; the elders were sharing stories; The deputy was sending patrols; and Nightstar was relaxing.
Nightstar rolled onto her back, staring at the sky and sighing. "Rainstar...I hope this prophecy doesn't mean a bad change...though your sign showed a different Clan taking over the forest..." Nightstar whispered. "A sign? Why didn't you tell me?" Pineleaf meowed as she overheard Nightstar. Nightstar jumped up, the fur along her spine bristling. She then explained the dream to Pineleaf.
"I think this means the obvious; a new Clan is going to take over ours.." Pineleaf murmured. "But why? Who are they?" Nightstar asked. Pineleaf shrugged in response. Nightstar sighed. "Wait...didn't Brambestar have that massive group of followers that was as large as a Clan?" Pineleaf meowed.
"Wait...You mean..."
"Yes."
"The followers are going to form a Clan of their own and take over the forest!" The two cats yowled at the same time.
"Great! Another thing for us to worry about!" Nightstar growled. "What next? The other Clans will try to force us out?"
"We'd better hope not." Pineleaf sighed. Nightstar looked at Pineleaf, her eyes round in worry. "Hopefully we can defeat them..." She murmured. Pineleaf nodded in agreement. "StarClan be with us..."
---Now, with Bramblestar's followers!---
A black tom with green eyes and white paws sat in the massive clearing. "This place would make a good camp for our Clan. There are dens everywhere...as if StarClan wants us here." It mewed. He stared at the massive group of cats surrounding him. "We shall be known as the Tribe of Falling Night (I couldn't come up with anything...)!" It yowled. The cats around him yowled its name.
The black tom, named Shadowstar, stared down at his Clan, or Tribe (Even though it has allegiances for the Clans). He was going to make Bramblestar proud! He had plans to attack the forest Clans...and murder a specific cat for killing his leader. But, first, he had to have his Clan grow and become strong. He purred at the thought of ruling the forest, but he had to live in this clearing...for now.
"Swiftrunner, Blackpaw, Darkshadow, Whitepaw, Fernthorn, and Ashpaw. Go catch as much prey as possible before night falls. Firefur, Frostfall, Brokenpaw, Deadfoot, Amberpaw, Goosefeather, and Nightspirit. I want you to hunt as much as possible before Moon-high." Shadowstar ordered. The cats nodded and then they left. When it was finally night, they returned with a massive amount of prey. They set it down, and the others left. By moon-high, the others returned and set their prey on the pile.
Shadowstar sat in his den, planning attacks. He stared at the forest when he left his den. His bright green eyes narrowed and he dug his claws in the ground. "This isn't over yet...one day, you'll be forced to join my Clan...or die. This will never end..." He hissed silently. He soon padded back into his den and fell asleep.
He was in a pitch black forest. There was a small amount of light from an unknown source. "Welcome to the Dark Forest, Shadowstar..." A familiar voice mewed. "Bramblestar? Where are you?" Shadowstar called out. "I'm right here, you blind fool!" The voice hissed. (In this story, cats of the Dark Forest will be black outlines with darker fur and eye colors.)
"Bramblestar!" Shadowstar purred. He stared at his former leader. "I see you have made a Clan from our group...hopefully you can gain more warriors..." Bramblestar growled. "I'll do it by force!" Shadowstar mewed. "Good...you'd better get a hold of the forest. We'll show them a new way to live...My way to live..." Bramblestar meowed.
"I'll get as many cats as I can! If they refuse, they will suffer the consequences of death!" Shadowstar hissed. "I always thought you were weak, Shadowstar...but you may have proved me wrong. I will train you here, in the Dark Forest, so you can defeat all of your enemies with ease..." Bramblestar meowed. "When does training begin?" Shadowstar wondered. Suddenly, Bramblestar leapt at Shadowstar and scratched at him. "Hey! You could've at least warned me!" Shadowstar complained.
"Why? This is battle training, you fool! Do you honestly expect your enemy to say 'Hey! I'm about to attack you! You might want to move to the left or right!'? Quit your whining; you sound like a kit!" Bramblestar hissed in a mocking voice. Shadowstar snarled and threw Bramblestar off and attacked. Bramblestar avoided Shadowstar, and scratched him. Shadowstar whipped around and slashed at Bramblestar, missing entirely. While Shadowstar was facing the other direction, Bramblestar caught the black tom off guard by slashing at his shoulder.
"Training's over." Bramblestar hissed. Shadowstar woke up with a few scars. He licked his wounds and padded out of his den. He planned an attack on ShadowClan that began past moon-high so he could catch them off guard. He knew a secret entrance into the camp that he had created; a hidden tunnel that split up into the different dens.
These tunnels were in each Clan. He formed them during the battle a few days ago. He would send some warriors to steal kits and apprentices and set them into the prison. He used an extra den as a prison; it was massive as they had dug it out to make it larger. He dug out multiple dens for the prisoners to stay.
The entrance to the prison had vines hanging downwards, a few large rocks surrounding it, and a path of small stones. If a cat were to pad on the stones, it would make some noise for the guards to hear, but the stones only lead to the end of the prison. The prisoners would be kept in the dens and would be fed every now and then. Occasionally, the prisoners would be given moss to lap water from. Usually, when there were multiple cats in one den, they would fight for food and water, and some would even kill to survive.
When a guard had to leave, another cat would be in their place. The Clan would capture cats as either prisoners or to become part of the Clan. If they chose not to be part of the Clan, they were taken to the prison. Every now and then, a cat would patrol throught he prison, hoping that the cats were still there. They would report everything to the guard.
By moon-high, Shadowstar, and a group of warriors, rushed to the forest. This was their first attack on one of the Clans; specifically ShadowClan. He avoided the main entrance and moved some stones, leaves, and moss to reveal a hole, that only one cat could fit in at a time, that led into a tunnel. He dropped into the hole, his warriors with him. He brought Firefur, Swiftrunner, Darkshadow, Frostfall, and Deadfoot with him, their apprentices, and Goosefeather.
"Alright, here's what we're gonna do. Firefur, you and I will attack the apprentices den. Swiftrunner, Blackpaw, you'll attack the Medicine den. Darkshadow, Whitepaw, you attack the nursery. The rest of you stay here and take the supplies we steal back to camp." Shadowstar ordered silently. The cats all nodded and soon split up. This was going to be difficult, for if one were to be caught, the whole camp would know of their presence. We're also gonna take some cats in as prisoners... Shadowstar thought to himself, eyes narrowing. Firefur looked around the tunnel.
--- In the apprentices den with Shadowstar and Firefur ---
Shadowstar peeked his head out of the hole in the apprentices den. He smirked as he spotted a sleepy apprentice and soon put a paw over his mouth silently, before dragging him down into the tunnel in silence. Luckily, the others didn't know and he took the apprentice to the others, who, with a swift blow to the apprentice's neck, knocked it out. Before long, Firefur returned with two apprentices who were out cold. Soon, they had all 4 apprentices.
--- In the Medicine den with Swiftrunner and Blackpaw --
Swiftrunner saw some supplies that was nearby as they reached the den. Luckily, the medicine cat, nor her apprentice, were in the den. Blackpaw took quite a bit of supplies and rushed back to the heart of the camp, where the others were waiting. Shadowstar was there as well as Firefur. Frostfall and Brokenpaw were at the entrance to the main tunnel, setting everything they collected there; Deadfoot, Amberpaw, and Goosefeather were passing on the supplies to them.
--- In the Nursery with Darkshadow and Whitepaw ---
Darkshadow and Whitepaw reached the nursery. This was going to be tricky; there were sleeping kits...but no, that wasn't the hard part; it was getting the kits away from the queens. Darkshadow saw a kit that wasn't very close to any of the queens and he soon picked it up, silencing it and giving it to Whitepaw who took it to Goosefeather. They soon had 5 kits piled up outside with Frostfall and Brokenpaw. Now to take everything back.
--- Back to Shadowstar ---
Shadowstar and his group made it back to camp safely. "Take the kits and apprentices to the prison." Shadowstar ordered, they nodded, and took the kits and apprentices to the prison. The supplies was set in the Medicine cat's den. Shadowstar sat in his den and fell asleep. This was too easy...
--- Back to Nightstar and ShadowClan ---
Nightstar got out of her den by sun-rise. She stretched and yawned and wandered around the camp. Soon, the cats woke up. Suddenly, a wail could be heard in the Nursery. "My kits! They're gone!" Nightstar rushed over.
"Warriors! Check the camp and territory! Check the dens!" Nightstar ordered frantically. Her warriors nodded and set off. "The apprentices are gone too!" A warrior reported. "What? Find the apprentices and kits!" Nightstar ordered, fur bristling. The warrior nodded.
After a few hours, the warriors returned. "There is no sign of kits or apprentices..." Amberflame reported. "And my den is missing some supplies!" Pineleaf meowed. "Uh...Nightstar...I think you should see this!" Nightrunner meowed nervously. Nightstar rushed over.
Nightrunner brushed away the leaves, stones, and moss to reveal a hole. "What in the name of StarClan?" Nightstar growled. "It smells of...Bramblestar's followers! They must've stolen from our Clan!" Nightstar yowled. "Lets follow the scent trail!" Nightstar ordered and so they did. "The camp..." Nightstar whispered as they got to the camp.
"Alright, I'm gonna act like one of their warriors as I have covered myself in their scent. I need one or two of you to act like prisoners. Then, when I go into the den, I'll try to save the cats there and then the rest of you, I want you to fight off the warriors and leave the camp with us." Nightstar explained her plan. Nightstar took Stormbreeze, who volunteered to be a 'prisoner'. "Wait! Maybe someone else should be taking Stormbreeze; they might recognize you!" One of the warriors whispered and Nightstar nodded. Ivyclaw volunteered to take Stormbreeze and soon she took the warrior in; luckily they all smelled like the warriors of Shadowstar's Clan, except for Stormbreeze. "Nice prisoner you got there." The guard said as she took Stormbreeze in.
Soon, Ivyclaw retrieved the prisoners. "Everything alright in there?" Asked the guard. "Yeah! Everything's fine!" Ivyclaw responded. Soon, Ivyclaw gave a signal to Nightstar and the other warriors. Ivyclaw readied herself and whispered to the prisoners what to do.
Soon Ivyclaw charged out of the den and the prisoners were following. Nightstar and her warriors leapt out of the bushes and yowled in fury. As Ivyclaw and the prisoners left, Nightstar and her warriors followed. Soon, they got back to camp. The kits rushed back to their mother and the Apprentices rushed to their mentors.
"I swear by StarClan that I'll destroy Shadowstar's Clan...Bramblestar's followers must be defeated!" Nightstar yowled. She sat near her den, blue eyes narrowed. Dawnfall, her deputy, sat beside her. "Don't worry, Nightstar...we'll get rid of his followers...their Clan is weak enough to steal apprentices and kits for their own." Dawnfall sighed. Nightstar dug her claws into the ground.
Moons had passed and each Clan had its fair share of raids from Shadowstar and his Clan, The Tribe of Falling Night. Multiple cats were forced to work with Shadowstar and went against the forest. But this all had to end one way or another... The dark day has finally come... And with it comes the batlle for the forest, much like the one with BloodClan... The Clans are on the rise...and the battle comes near....
