"H-how could you do this?"
"It's just survival, Ferretpaw. You want the Clan to survive, don't you?"
(If you're the type who scans through descriptions real fast, if you decide to read this book please go back and read all of this, thanks.)
Ferretkit, Cherrykit, and Jaykit are kits of HailClan. Their kithood is the same as every other kit's, but things start happening once their apprenticeship begins. Ferretpaw discovers a dark secret hidden by all the Clans, Jaypaw accidentally betrays his Clan and is now being blackmailed by a cat he once called a friend, and Cherrypaw is chosen to be the Healer by StarClan, a position that forces her to isolate herself from her littermates, and learn the leader's horrifying secrets that shouldn't be kept. If these things get out, they will break the fragile peace the holds the four Clans together. But it looks like fate might not wait for these secrets to get out- tensions are rising between the Clans and war is brewing on the horizon.
The concept Warriors, Warrior cats, Cat Clans, warriors names, and all that belongs to Erin Hunter. This cover, plot, details, characters, chapters, and other Warrior positions (for example the Hunter, Protectors, Attackers, Healers, etc) belong to me, so no taking ideas! If you feel inspired by something in this book and want to make something similar PLEASE talk to me first. Thanks, that's all! Go ahead and enjoy.
Note: Because in this story the Clan life is A LOT different then in Erin Hunter's, it will be a bit darker then normal clan life. However, it's definitely not as dark as 9 Lives of Terror, only some parts.

ThunderClan has lived moons in peace. The water is plentiful and the cats are strong. But, with the Dark Forest drawing closer and tragedies emerging, things are starting to go downhill.
It all begins with Swiftkit. He is born as an innocent newcomer to the clan. He is strong and independent, but his morals quickly change when he is visited by the most hated cat in all of the Clans.
***DISCLAIMER*** The time gap between Chapter 7 and Chapter 8 is literally a YEAR, so, I must warn you that the cleanliness of Chapter 8 and onwards completely emulates the first seven chapters of this book. I certainly don't think that they are BAD, but I am definitely going to fix them up once I've got more time (just some little grammar tweaks, updating plot points, and fixing some dialogue). So, just keep that in mind when you read this. I hope you still enjoy!
And also, just to respect Wattpad's guidelines, I will say, that as a Warriors book, there is the mildest of mild violence!
