ClawClan (Season 1: Episode 1-The Beginning) -Warrior Cats Fan Fiction-

Chapter 24

Fangclaw stared in astonishment as The Messenger came out of the forest, holding something fuzzy. The lightning and rain stopped. The dark clouds of war floated away. Looking at Cheetahstar, the yellow warrior's jaw was hanging. Then, every cat in the gathering gathered around the panting Kitten. Standing up as slowly as possible, Fangclaw went over to see the commotion.

"DeadClan and StarClan met each other and agreed on a way to find peace! This is the peace offering to LeafClan, MeadowClan, and WillowClan from ClawClan," Kitten dull voiced rang through the clearing so that every cat could hear her words. Fangclaw spotted the molly's paws in the air. Sitting on it was a brown fluffy worm with a white star on its back. Is that really a peace offering?

"That is just a caterpillar, not a peace offering," a dark ginger medicine cat spoke up angrily. "How dare ClawClan mimic our ranks as if as a joke! Cheetahstar was right, this clan are frauds and are stealing our lifestyle!" LeafClan warriors yowled in agreement, but the others did not. The two other medicine cats, one of them being Ivyscar, looked at the 'peace offering' as if it was a rare diamond. 

"I'm sorry little one, it seems Adderleaf is still new to being a Medicine Cat...," Ivyscar walked forward, holding her front left paw up. Knowing the sign, Kitten gave her the caterpillar. "Adderleaf," the scarred cat turned to face the furious tomcat, angered that he was called new. "Do you not recognize this pattern? The fuzz being brown fur and the star presenting as-"

"The rank of a leader," another medicine cat finished the sentence, rudely. The black tomcat that interrupted walked forward as well. The former medicine cat finally recognize and stepped beside the black tom. 

"Rootstar...." Adderleaf said in awe, unable to grasp the truth wholly. "If that is a reincarnation of Rootstar, who, mind you, founded by a ClawClan kit...,"

Ivyscar took the words from Adderleaf's speechless mouth, "Then it would mean that StarClan and DeadClan agreed on peace. What do you say about this, Falconflight?"

"I say that it means that ClawClan won't take our land at all and that we must truly be at peace, for StarClan's sake. But that means...." Falconflight looked at the astonished LeafClanners, all of them looked at each other, grimly.

"That means that ClawClan is no danger that Cheetahstar told," Ivyscar glared at the cat who was not among the large group: Cheetahstar, the traitor of StarClan, the warrior who wants to get rid of one of the original clans, the cat who-

"Attacked their only deputy and wanted to get rid of ClawClan... for what? For something that they don't really need!" Fangclaw meowed loudly for all cats to hear. He eyed Stormspeck who was in the crowd, others did the same. The gray molly nodded in agreement. Murmurs and whispers chattered through the clearing as cats realized that there is peace between their ancestors and that the forest is able to hold a land for LeafClan.

"Blackstar told me that StarClan betrayed us! You now listening to them and their ridiculous offering of peace?" Cheetahstar cried, looking at each warrior. "You," he eyed his clan, "you're going to listen to your medicine cat who supports StarClan? I gave you a speech of inspiration and to rise against our enemies that took our land! Isn't that important than a silly peace offering?"

But his warriors glared at the golden giant audaciously. The glares left the leader shocked, shocked at his clanmates disobeyed him. 

"Traitors!" He said. "Traitors, all of you! We agreed to execute ClawClan, but you all changed your minds because of a forsaken fuzzy worm of an idiotic leader that never sees the visions Blackstar and I saw!" All looked surprised. Fangclaw looked at his clanmates, all simultaneously confused.  The stares of the crowd looked like Cheetahstar confessed a murder. The copper marbles of the once-great leader was locked on Kitten. 

"And you! You little brat and your clan ruined everything!" He bunched his legs, and leaped forward. His blood-soaked claws reaching for The Messenger. Instincts, is all Fangclaw understood as he sprinted in front of his clanmate, a fox tail away. He unsheathed his claws, ran under the flying body of the giant, and sliced his gut. With an oof, Cheetahstar fell beside the black-white she-cat. His intestines fall out of his stomach. Blood was over the grass that the golden giant laid. The warrior breathed... then stopped. Everyone waited silently, holding their breaths. Minutes passed, but the pale-yellow tom never gotten up, indicating that his last life is forever gone.

"He is in Dark Forest now," Ivyscar spitted.
