PROLUGE:

Hollowflight sniffed around, looking for catmint. The medicine cat, Redfoot, Had asked him to. He looked up at the big, bright, not yet full, moon. It glowed in the dark stillness. He stopped and pricked up his ears as he heard paw steps. He tasted the air, and smelled Stripedfoot's sweet scent. He turned around to see his clan mate, slowly stalking towards him. " Uh, Hey Stripedfoot! " He called. " What are you doing? ". Hollowflight didn't like the way she was seeming to be creepily smiling and stalking towards him slowly. " Oh... Just, You know....." She said. " Killing you! ". As soon as she said those words, rogues poured out everywhere. Hundreds. Thousands. Millions! " Why?! " He shouted as he tried to scratch and bite most of the cats. He could just here " I will be deputy now, Like I should have been! " as he got swallowed up by the mass of cats. " Ok, Thats enough! " Stripedfoot called, and soon all cats were gone. She had one or two scratches. She picked up his ragged body and hid her happiness. When she got to camp, she cried out " I found Hollowflight dead! Rogues and Shadowclan were everywhere! ". Everyone let out wails. She looked up at Violetstar, who called out " Let all cats old enough to catch there own prey gather beneath the high rock! ". She had a look of pain on her face, but she said " Stripedfoot is the new deputy..... " And then just walked into her den. Stripedfoot didn't smile. This wasn't a proper deputy ceremony, but atleast she was deputy. She looked at Hollowflight's dead body. How could jealousy drive me to kill my own clan mate?! She thought.

CHAPTER 1:

" Wake up! Come on! Your gonna be late! ". Honeypaw jumped up as she heard the loud voice. " What, Oh, Today we become warriors! How could I forgot! " Honeypaw cried. She turned to Maplepaw. " Come on! Stripedstar has called the meeting already! " He shouted angrily. Honeypaw dashed out of the apprentices den to go become a warrior. She was so excited, she didn't listen to the words her leader said. She just squeaked " I do! " and soon enough her new warrior name and Maplepaw's new warrior name were being chanted: " Maplefur! Honeypelt! Maplefur! Honeypelt! ". It rang in her ears even when they were done chanting. Beesting, The deputy, bounded over. " Im leading a big patrol to attack Shadowclan, You two, come " He said in his deep voice. " Ok " Maplefur and Honeypelt both agreed. They went behind Beesting, along with 12 other warriors. They stopped on the border between Shadowclan and Thunderclan territory. " Thunderclan, Attack! " Beestign yowled as they marched far into the Shadowclan camp. Honeypelt leapt on a midnight black cat, who looked like a apprentice. She held him pinned down in a good grip and raked her claws down his face. She sank her claw into one of his eyes and ripped it right out. She bit off a tiny bit of his ear, and then jumped off. " You should have never messed with Thunde- ". She couldn't have finished her sentence, because Darkstar, The leader, had pinned her down and was diving for her throat. " Nooo!! " She yowled.

CHAPTER 2:

Flipfoot looked out of the nursery. He was protecting it, and more importantly, his mother who was in it. Two were coming dangerously close, but not close enough for them to attack him. But soon the ran straight for the kits his mother was nursing. He grabbed one by the scruff and threw him, and the other scratched right above his eye. That leaves one down, one to go. He grabbed him and slammed him against the tallest rock in his camp. " Are the kits ok? " Flipfoot asked. " Fine " Chesnuttail purred. He kicked a tom who tried to go in; Until he realized it was her father. " Father, protect the nursery for a few seconds! " He said, dashing out. He looked around for someone to attack, when he spotted Darkstar trying to kill a thunderclan warrior; By the looks of it, a just made one. He knew he wasn't going to help the other clan, but he couldn't let his leader kill one of them! It was againt the warrior code, and thunderclan had never killed one of them in this war. He sneaked up on Darkstar, and then pulled him off. He held him pinned down in his best grip. " Your betraying your clan! " Darkstar spat. " Your betraying the warrior code! " Flipfoot spat back.

CHAPTER 3:

Honeypelt looked at the cat who had just saved her from certain death. " B-But... Er, Thanks " She said. The dark tabby just dipped his head, still pinning down his leader. " Thunderclan, Retreat! " Beesting yowled. The mass of thunderclan warriors ran out, leaving the smell of blood. Honeypelt gave one last look at the tom, and then ran back to her clan. As she bounded with her clan, she thought Why did he save me? And more importantly... Why do I feel a strong attachment to him? . She continued thinking this over in her head until they got to camp. " We took a while " She said, looking up at a moon that was thinner than a mouse tail. Then she stopped. " Hey.. Maplefur, We didn't do the vigil... " She said, turning around to face him. He shrugged, and padded into the warriors den, were two new moss bedding's were. She sat on one of them and curled herself into a tight ball. As soon as she closed her eyes she fell into a deep sleep. She opened her eyes. But this wasn't the warriors den. It was... Near the river. She could smell some catmint. She looked around. " A dream " She sighed. Hollowflight appeared right in front of her. " Hollowflight! " She gasped. " Yes " He flicked his tail back and forth. " You've been attacking shadowclan for no reason ". " But they killed you! " Honeypelt said, sinking her claws into the soft dirt. " No, They didn't. It was Stripedstar who killed me; Stripedfoot back then " He said softly, as if he was seeing the memory flash right before his eyes. " What?! " Honeypelt shrieked. Three other cats appeared. " We were also victims of Stripedfo- Stripedstar's murders " One said. " Were all deputies, I guess ambition and jealousy meant more to her than her own clan mates " The smallest one sighed. " She would have gotten her turn soon enough of becoming deputy.... " The last one said. " Stop the war between shadowclan and thunderclan; And eliminate Stripedstar... " Hollwflight rasped. " But- ". It was too late for last words, because she had already woke up. It wasn't morning... It was still dark out, and nobody stirring. " Eliminate Stripedstar " She whispered. She carefully picked her way out of the den and into Stripedstar's. She looked at the sleeping body, but now all she could see was a murderer. Silently she poked the silver tabby's belly with her claw, and then hid in a bush that was inside. She stood still as her leader woke up. " Who's here? " She called. Honeypelt unsheathed her claws and leapt out of the bush, landing on Stripedstar. " You killed past deputies to be what you are today, You started an unreasonable war with shadowclan.... And now im eliminating you! " She spat. She sank her teeth into the throat of her enemy and leader. She got off, But Stripedstar let out a shriek right before she had died. Beesting ran in. " Honeypelt! " She cried. " No, Stripedstar she is a murd- " Honeypelt stopped. " Im in trouble.. " She sighed. " No, Your not. I know she was a murderer. She threatened to kill me if I tried to hurt her, didnt follow her commands, or told anybody. She sure isn't going to starclan " Beesting sighed. " You can only keep this between us, ok? ". Honeypelt nodded. She cleaned her face to make it look like there was no blood or a fight. Then she walked out; More warriors and apprentices were stirring. Honeypelt dropped Stripedstar's dead body in the middle of camp. She jumped onto the high rock with Beesting. " Let all cat's old enough to catch there own prey gather here bneath the high rock for a meeting! " Beesting yowled. Now all the clan sat, looking sad, beneath them. " I grant you permission to speak, Honeypelt ". Beesting took a step back as Honeypelt took one forward. " I know you all grieve and mourn for Stripedstar, But she was a liar and murderer! She killed deputies to become leader.... She started a war that didn't need to be started! Hollowflight told me in... a dream! " Honeypelt called. Dovetail, the medicine cat, padded out. " I had it too! " She called. " My life was threatened if I didnt follow Stripedstar's demands, Tried to hurt her, or told anyone. Honeypelt here finished the good deed of killing her.... I demand her body to be thrown in a river and to be never found again! Soon I will go to the moonpool to claim my leader name and nine lives! Meeting over! " Beesting also called out. Honeypelt looked as the cats parted, and she jumped down from the high rock. She sighed, and just went to the fresh kill pile.

CHAPTER 4:

Flipfoot looked around. Wounded warriors and apprentices were covering the place. He looked at the nursery. His father was coming toward him, and he didn't look to happy. " Flipfoot! Why'd you let that thunderclan warrior get away? And attacking your leader? Your lucky he doesn't banish you from the clan! Im very disappointed! ". His dads scolding words made him feel like a kit again, playing with prey. " Im not a kit, And its against the warrior code to kill a cat unless in self defense! " He spat. He ran out of camp. " Dont come after me! " He called over his shoulder. He stopped at the border with thunderclan. He could see the cat he saved on a patrol. He let out a soft meow; And clearly she heard. She waved her tail, and bounded over to the border. " What are you doing? " She asked. " Just want to talk about something.... And, Im Flipfoot " He whispered. " Honeypelt " She replied. " Everybody is so mad at me, you know, for saving you. I wanna talk.. " He said. " I feel a strong attachment to be with you... ". " Me too. I guess starclan has a prophecy with us or something.. Maybe " She replied. " Honeypelt! Come here! ". " I gotta run, Catch you tomorrow, same place! " She said, sighing. " Bye.... " He sighed. " See you tomoroww ". " And we've ended the war, Flipfoot " Honeypelt called as she bounded off. is this what love feels like? He thought.
