                                              Hawkfrost felt the familiar feel of smooth river stones under his paws. He breathed in the fresh soothing air. It brought back so many memories. He wandered around the place for a while, before leaving to a place that he never thought he would go again.
                          The Dark Forest.
                          It was true that Tigerstar died and Mapleshade was the new leader, but unlike Tigerstar, Mapleshade tolerated Hawkfrost.
                          Hawkfrost stretched his back and yawned. "That was way to long," he grumbled.
                          He rolled his shoulders and flexed his muscles, then sighed.
                          "I forgot how boring it was here," he mumbled, thoughts drifting to a certain silver she-cat.
                          How he had missed her already...
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          Mapleshade slipped into Ivypool's dream again.
                          It was a horrible dream where she was in a clearing with her sister, having FUN.
                          She snarled. No one should deserve happiness, especially Hawkfrost.
                          The rodent.
                          Ivypool was lying down in a ring of flowers.
                          Mapleshade walked up to her. "Didn't I teach you to not be in a feeble position like that or else the enemy would get you"?" she asked in a sugar-sweet voice.
                          Then, she slashed her claws down on the young she-cat's spine.
                          There was a crack, then a scream that was cut short by silence as the dream faded black.
                          Mapleshade smiled.
                          Happy endings were nonexistent.
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          Of course, she would have to deal with Hawkfrost.
                          The mouse brained idiot. She had always hated Riverclan cats.
                          She saw Hawkfrost staring at a tree forlornly.
                          "You've gone too soft," Mapleshade mewed hardly.
                          "Well," Hawkfrost started lazily, "there's been something on my mind. Someone act-"
                          Before he could finish, Mapleshade pinned him down.
                          "Happy endings are mirages that are a plight to life. It'll lead you nowhere," she snarled as she ripped out his throat.
                          Mapleshade watched calmly as the young cat's spirit faded out of existence. 
                          She smiled and laughed as she watched herself flicker and shift between being translucent to being completely invisible.
                          Her cackled died away with her spirit.
                          It was all over now.
                          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
                          A/N - It's done! Like I said, not feeling much inspiration to write Warriors anymore, so I thought I would wrap this up quickly. Thanks for sticking along with me for this whole journey. It's done. Over. I hope you enjoyed it!
