Silence.

Throughout his forest there was silence. Not a single creature made a sound, no cat, no rustle of the trees, nothing.

Sparkstar, a golden brown tom, walked through the familiar lush green forest, inspecting the ground in front of him, taking deep breaths and receiving the scent of wild garlic mixed with something a little more repulsive.
It was blood.

"Hello?" The tom-cat leader called into the night, his voice breaking the silence. For a moment there was no reply.
"Greetings my dear kit," A familiar voice called, and a loathsome voice it was. A low hiss hid itself in Sparkstar's throat.
"What do you want?" The golden-brown tom asked, a low rumble in his throat.
"I want you to join me," The voice said, stepping from the shadows to reveal a ragged white she-cat with bright amber eyes and a few scars. Her pelt held a dark aura that smelled as vile as blood mixed with dead wood and rotten prey.
"Never! Theres nothing I would ever exchange for you to get your way!" Sparkstar hissed, watching the white cat as she began to circle around him.
"Oh really?" She laughed. The amber eyed cat then let out some sort of a battle cry and then Sparkstar heard rustling from behind. He sharply turned his head to see four large toms, each with a smaller battered up cat in their mouths. Panic and horror spread across Sparkstar's face as he recognised the four cats, one, a pretty grey she-cat with black ears, tail tip and paws who appeared to be the most injured out of the four. He recognised her as Cinderblaze, the Medicine cat and one of his sisters. The second, a pretty ginger she-cat with black paws, ears and tail tip with a couple spots on her chest. This was Poppysong, his other sister. The third was a dark ginger tom, his best friend Blazetail. And the final cat, a she-cat with a beautiful long cream coat. Her beautiful blue eyes were still open, a tormented and painful look in them. This was Sparkstar's mate, Spiritflower.

"Let them go Amberfrost!" Sparkstar hissed, Fury in his eyes as he whipped round to face her again.
"Il let them go when you agree to my terms" Amberfrost growled.
"One, You not to attack any Dark forest members. Two, You follow dark forest rules. Three, you are to join forces with Riverclan, your new name? Streaming-Thunderclan. Four, you are to obey any Dark forest member. Five, Starclan is no longer in your life" Amberfrost said with a smirk.

Sparkstar looked at His sisters, friend and Mate, as if looking to them for answers, but he received none. He sighed and glanced up at Amberfrost, A glare in his eyes and a scowl on his face.
"You...win" Sparkstar spat quietly, looking back down at his paws. Amberfrost laughed madly before turning to the four toms and saying a few words

"Kill them"
