DarkHeart's Promise (A warrior cat fan-fiction) *On Hold*

Chapter 11 "moonclan's fall"

Sorry for grammer isiues and spelling, i had no time to edit this or profread either....sorry about that!

I was quiet proud of myself for having so much power in killing marrowpaw, but i needed something harder. I paced the warriors den arguing with myself. Every cat thought it was because i blamed myself for marrowpaw's death. That wasn't the case though, it was because i had killed him i needed the lust of killing more and other cats. Part of me was telling myself to go and kill the deptudy horsetail or a seinor warrior but the other half was yelling at me not to dissobey starclan.

But i have already!

I closed my eyes hopping that i would dissapear but, it didn't work. It also didn't help that swanfeather hated me for not saving her apprentice and flowerstream was too busy following blackpaw around. I sat in the cornner of the den. The only cats that i can trust are tigerclaw, sandbreath and...pinehollow. Me and her are close, she's like the sister i never had. She has the same conflict as me and i feel for her. She just barley became deptudy of flowerclan, which all of us were proud. She didn't have to kill the deptudy after all, he retired to the elders den. I had not told any one about how i killed marrowpaw and i plan not to. I didn't do it for power or for protection....i did it out of lust for blood.

"hey darkheart" said cloudfoot.

I jumped because i had not relized she was standing there. I looked at her and sighed.

"do you want to see berrytails kits?" she asked.

I smiled. I wanted to see these kits, i might become their mentor. I followed the old medicine cat to the nursery. I didn't relize berrytail had given birth today. I peeked over to see two tiny kits curled up next to her.

"The small white tom is hopekit and the black she-kit is birdkit" said cloudfoot.

They were so tiny and preacious. I couldn't belive that they might grow into strong and powerful warriors some day.

"all cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneth the sky oak for a clan meeting!" shouted applestar.

"come on, lets go" said cloudfoot.

I followed her to where the whole clan had gathered. I saw blackpaw, toadpaw and ebonypaw looking nervous. Orangepaw and cottonpaw looked impateinet

It must be their naming cerenomy

"Blackpaw, toadpaw, orangepaw, cottonpaw and ebonypaw, do you promise to uphold and protect the warrior code and your clan even through death?"

"i do" they all said at once.

"then by the power of starclan, blackpaw, toadpaw and ebonypaw, from this day forward you'll be known as blackwing, toadtail, orangefoot, cottonfoot and ebonyfur!"

"BLACKWING, TOADTAIL, EBONYFUR, ORANGEFOOT, COTTONFOOT!!"

As the cats were cheering i saw a little snowflake land on my nose.

"leaf-bare is coming" said cloudfoot worried "and that means green cough is coming as well"

"but, it's the beging of leaf-fall" i protested.

"the snow is coming early" said cottonfoot "this is very bad darkheart"

******************

I sat out in the warriors den. Only two moons had passed before a huge snow storm blew in. A lot of us were freazing to death or starving. And that wasn't the worst of it, most of the clan had cought green cough. Applestar had already lost four lives to it. I was the only one in the clan that was free from greencough, other than the medicine cats. I knew that we were all going to die from this.

 "please birdkit, eat" i over heard berrytail say.

"but mama, i'm not hungrey" i hear a littel squeak mewl.

"you havn't eaten for four days, you must be starving"

I sighed. Birdkit and hopekit aren't going to survive this snow storm. As i lied down i heard a blood curtaling scream. I raced out side and looked around. Swanfeather bolted out of the medicine cat den and looked shocked.

"what was that? where did it come from!?" I said.

"i think it came from the outside of camp" she said.

We both raced out side of camp to see spots of blood leading to flowerclan teritory. I gulped as we followed the trail. As we got closer the stench of raw fleash burned my nose. I was a little afraid to look over the bramble bush. As we did , we saw the most horrofing thing ever. Tons of moonclan cats lying dead on the cold snow floor. Many of them were halfway burried under the snow while others were strung from everywhere. I stared in horror and delight as i was glad that most of the seinor warriors had died.

"most of the clan.....is dead" said swanfeather in a shaky voice.

In the cornner of my eye i saw a ginger tail in the tree branches. I looked up to see orangefoot staring at the sence in horror.

"orangefoot, what happened" asked swanfeather.

"d-d-d-d-d-dogs" he said in a shaky voice.

"why would they attack a patrol of cats?" i asked "thats dosn't make sense"

"well marrowpaw's death didn't make sense either!" hissed swanfeather as she bolted to the other side of the forest.

"swanfeather!" I yowled but she didn't hear me.

"orangefoot, go tell applestar what happened, i'll go find swanfeather" i said before bolting off to where swanfeather had took off to.

I followed the white paw prints in the snow as it lead me near the thunderpath on ourside of the teritory. I saw swanfeather curled up under a tree. She was crying. I slowly walked toward her.

"i saw you darkheart" she spat "i saw you kill him!"

I glared at her.

"why you you kill an inocent appretnice?" she asked.

"why? WHY! i did it because you acted like you were the boss of everything, and it didn't help that he acted like that as well!" i hissed " i swear swanfeather if this gets out i will kill you!"

She looked at me in horror.

"what has happened to you darkheart" she said "what happened to the caring sister i once knew?"

I glared at her. But....what did happen, i am not the same cat i used to be.

"i will not tell anyone but, promise me you won't kill anymore" she asked as she stood up.

I paused "i can't garentee that"

"but-"

"if cats tick me off then i will show them not to mess with me!" i hissed as i walked away "you are not my sister, your and arrogant idiot that only cares about herself!"

I dissapered in the bushes. Each day i felt my heart growing colder and colder. I elt no emoition except when i kill. I hate swanfeather i might just kill her next!
