Chapter 17 Darkus Squirrelflight Leafpool

****Darkus***

I rip into the prey that my warriors have caught but then I see my mate whose belly is starting to round with my kits, waddled over and I push my prey to her and get a mouse for myself.

"Frostsnake, dear how are you?" I purr to her and look into her pretty green eyes. She looked up at me, her eyes narrowed, "Why are you asking about my health? You never did before." With that she took her piece of prey and went to the other she-mothers where gathered. I snorted and stalked off to call Bloodclan together.

"Let all cats old enough to kill come forth and hear my words," cats gathered around the small stump on which I found to address the clan.

"Today we are close on the trail of those pesky clan cats and soon we shall over take then and kill all." "Now I need to appoint a new Deputy as Frostsnake is expecting my kits. I saw these words before the spirit of Scourge that he may hear and approve of my choice. Swiftsong will be the next deputy until Frostsnake can resume. Let's march." With that Darkus leaped from the stump and headed further down the trail past the piles of stone that are lying about.

Bloodclan was once feared by the cats in twolegplace then in the forest until Firestar killed off the leader. Once more I will make Bloodclan great and feared, once more!

Darkus licked his lips, "Swiftsong, come here,"

A dark brown-white tom came bounding over with his white ears flat in submission.

"You call?" he asked sitting down; he wilted as he gazed into the other tom's purple eyes.

"I want you to speak with Scourge tonight and ask him if we are still following the right path,"

I smiled as he shuddered at my request, yes Scourge was to be feared even in death but soon if all went to plan he would be coming back to life. Darkus licked his lips as he kept walking past the turn in the dirt and Thunderpaths that where crumbled, he hissed as the grit and crime got stuck in his pads.

Soon we will reach the clans and then the Reign of Blood can begin!

****Swiftsong*****

I hate this clan, but I must do what I can to gather information to give to the clans after I defect from this DarkForest hole. Yes I will be a good warrior. With these thoughts Swiftsong closed his eyes after they had traveled far for that day.

Swiftsong gasped aloud in his sleep as he reached the Dark Plain on which Scourge resides. The small black tom cat sat on a bone pile with his tail curled over his back.

"Welcome, Swiftsong, let's get to the point now shall we?" his voice squeaked.

Swiftsong gulped but nodded. Ice blue eyes met light green.

"You can tell Darkus that it is still many days travel over the mountains then you will reach the Clans." With that scourge began to fade and Swiftsong awoke. To his relieve he found it was still dark so he curled back up and went back into a deep sleep with no dreams.

****Squirrelflight****

My belly feels odd, big and uncomfortable. I press into Stormfur, and I feel him press back. Slowly I rise to my paws and I know that I will have to face Cinderpelt but I don't want to. Why Leafpool? Could I have helped you? I shake my head and yawn. She walked out of the warrior's den with slow steps.

"Squirrelflight, what brings you to my den?" Cinderpelt growled as she woke up with a yawn, her tail-tip flicking.

"Um... I haven't been feeling well lately to be honest," the ginger she- cat blinked her dark green eyes.
