Chapter 7

Moonlight grinned, ignoring the darkness and the two foxes that surrounded them. "Great!" she said cheerfully, feeling better than she had ever felt in the past three moons. "Right, let's stop talking now, we still have these foxes to defeat!"

As the two battled with the foxes, eyes gleaming with a new determination that neither of them had ever experienced before, they realized that being in the clan had truly changed them, and it was not for the better. The two met, pelt to pelt, and scratched the wits out of the other two creatures, and they turned to each other, grinning as the foxes fled. "We did it!" Sunshadow exclaimed. "Yup," Moonlight said, beaming proudly at her brother. "Thank you," she said, suddenly remembering to thank him. "For staying, I mean. You could have stayed with Lightpelt in the ruined camp, but you stayed with me. Thank you."

Sunshadow smiled. "Of course I stayed with you," he said. "You're my sister, and you're more important to  me than any other cat, I promise." Moonlight nudged her brother. "Of course I knew that," she said. "Now, how about finding a place to stay the night?"

Chapter 6

Sunshadow clenched his teeth together. "Mouse dung!" he spat. "First the whole clan dies, and now this! What's next?" Moonlight narrowed her eyes. Her brother usually was calm and quiet, and she couldn't stand what he had become now. "Shut up!" she said. "What's happened has happened! Now we just have to fight these foxes, right? So shut up and let's fight!"
Sunshadow glared. "But how can we keep on living now? We're loners again, can't you tell!?"
Moonlight growled, as the clouds behind her flashed with lightning. "That doesn't matter anymore! Being in DarkClan changed you, and I don't know if that's a good thing or not now. But it doesn't matter! Do you want to fight or not? Do you want to live or not?

"If you want to live, then fight with me! I hardly know who you are, Sunshadow, I-" The gray warrior choked, and no more words came out. She looked down at her paws in shame. "I..."
Sunshadow padded forwards so that he was standing next to his sister. "I'm sorry," he said, pressing his nose into her fur. "But I still can't believe this. So much tragedy....."

The brown cat straightened up. "But I will fight," he vowed. "From now on, we are once again loners, and we will fight!"

Chapter 5

Moonlight and Sunshadow ran as fast as their legs could carry them through the forest, rain pouring down on them, lighting striking in the distance. Every second they could hear the loud clap of thunder, which startled them greatly. Moonlight stopped. "Wait," she said, her eyes tracking down Sunshadow's mangled and bloody pelt, then dashed into a bush, looking for the correct herbs to help her brother. "No," he said. "That'll only slow us down. Let's keep running."

Moonlight sighed, but nodded. "Fine," she said. "But you'll get infections if you run around like this." For a moment, the tom's eyes went dull, then his head snapped up. "Lightpelt felt worse," he choked. "She died." This made his sister silent, and they both slowly started to run again. After a few moments, they stopped, not because of Sunshadow nor his sister. Blocking their path were two red foxes....

Chapter 4

Moonlight backed up as she saw the empty hollow, filled with nothing but shattered, burning trees. She slowly made her way to the top of the camp, looking down at it. It was destroyed. There was no hope of any cat being alive...was there? Moonlight's grey eyes widened as she saw a branch quiver. "Sunshadow!" she cried, recognizing the brownish pelt of her brother. She was too afraid to go down, but worry for her brother sent her hurling back down into the ruined camp. "M-Moonlight!" came the raspy voice.

Moonlight stumbled forward. "Sunshadow!" she cried. "Are you OK? Y-you're hurt!" The young warrior had been a warrior for quite some time now, and had experienced battles with many other clans, but she had never seen such horrible wounds. "You're not OK!" she said racing forwards. "Here, lean on me, we have to get out of this hollow!"

Her brother's eyes were wide, and he opened his mouth and hissed, "I couldn't save her....."

Chapter 3

Rain poured throughout the gorge that was the DarkClan camp. Warriors, queens, kits, apprentices and all the remaining cats poked their heads out of their dens, eyes wide in fear. "The gorge is flooding!" came a wail from the other side of the clearing, and all of hell broke loose. Cats swarming everywhere, some slipping on the wet rock, and some standing still, wailing in fear. Moonlight and Sunshadow raced out of their dens in the midst of the chaos.
"Sunshadow, there's something I have to tell you," Moonlight said at last after moons of staying silent. "I don't trust this clan and you shouldn't either."
Her brother's eyes widened for a moment as she spoke, but then softened. "I know what you mean," he whispered. "It still seems like we're not welcome. But what do you want to do?"
Moonlight could tell that the tom wasn't really buying her words. She didn't know how, but she could tell. "We have to go," she said. "We'll run away by ourselves from this clan and go back to being rouges."
Sunshadow nodded slowly. "Let's go then," he said, being his listening-to-sister self.
As the two struggled to climb up the side of the gorge that was already packes with cats, Sunshadow noticed something out of the corner of his eye. "Lightpelt!" he screeched, as thunder crashed and lighting nailed down, setting the trees ablaze and sending them tumbling into the camp. He saw the gray she cat that he had come to love, still with fear, eyes wide.
"I have to save her!" he cried, flinging himself back down into the camp.
"SUNSHADOW!!!!!" Moonlight screeched as she watched the brown pelt of her brother disappear into the midst of the rain. Lighting flashed, and when the flashing cleared, all that was left of the clan was a gorge filled with burning trees and dead cats. Moonlight's eyes widened as she thought of the day her parents died. "No...." she whispered with horror. "Not again..."

Chapter 2

"-and by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior names. From this day on, you will be known as Moonlight and you will be known as Sunshadow. May StarClan guide you for the rest of your lives." Moonlight, now a warrior of DarkClan along with her brother, stood proud at the front of the clan, the feeling of uneasiness still buried in the pit of her stomach like a swallowed stone. She looked sideways at her brother, who couldn't look any happier. She sighed as the cats began to clear away and the two began their vigil. Destroy.... A voice rang throughout the hollow, and Moonlight widened her eyes. What was that? None of the other cats seemed to have noticed. Was she the only one who heard it? What did it mean? Destroy? Destroy what? Or who?

Two moons later, the two littermates were full-fledged warriors, the most loyal out of the loyal, fighting battles and catching prey like no one's buisness. Though Moonlight still had her doubts, she decided to ignore them. Nothing bad had happened. Not yet. The clan could actually be their sanctuary for the rest of their lives. But she did not know the horrors that were in store for her...and the rest of the clan.

(Sorry it's a little short! I'll make the next chapter longer :D)

Chapter 1

Two years later, Sun and Moon were padding through the forest in search of prey. "Prey is scarce at this time of year, isn't it, sis?" Sun asked casually, peeking through the undergrowth, his azul eyes sparking in anger when he sensed nothing. "If only mother and father hadn't gone off and died like that...." Moon's eyes snapped. She hated when her brother talked like that. "They protected us!" she protested. "It was either us or them, and they felt like their lives were fulfilled already! They-" the black and white she-cat broke off, tired of telling her brother off everyday for the exact same thing two years in a row. "-whatever. Let's get hunting. Meet you back here in five minutes." The two siblings rushed off in different directions, sniffing the trees.

When the two cats came back, Sun looked like he was bursting with pride. "What's wrong, Sun?" Moon asked, a little scared by her brother's cheerful look. "I've found some other cats!" he exclaimed. "They said they're from DarkClan or something, and they want to take us in!" Moon looked at the brown cat, startled. "Isn't that kind of sudden? I mean, they just met you and-"
"Whatever!" her littermate said. "Let's go to their camp.
Moon sighed as she followed Sun and the cats that had came back with him. She wasn't sure why, but she had a bad feeling, and she felt like it had something to do with the cats padding in front of her....
