"Moonpaw!" I hissed at my sleeping sister. "Wake up you furball! It's time for training!"

Moonpaw looked up sleepily and stretched. "Wow! We're battle training!" she mewed excitedly.

Yes you daft furball. What else do you think? I thought

"Brokenpaw! Moonpaw! Time for battle training!" Birdsong called through the entrance.

I walked out of the den and padded after them through the entrance to camp.

"Ok, Brokenpaw, you're going to begin by fighting me." Amberlake said.

More like destroying you! You are weak, so you need to die, flea-bitten kittypet. I thought.

I padded out into the clearing. Get ready to die kittypet. I thought.

We started with our new move. I unsheathed my claws and fought Amberlake. She hissed at me "Sheath your claws!" 

"No!" I hissed back and slashed at her throat. She fell back bleeding heavily from the wound in her throat.

"Brokenpaw..." she whispered and only I could hear her. "Why did you have to do this? You don't have to be evil."

I leaned down and whispered in her ear. "No, but I want to." I slashed my claws from her throat to her tail. "Good bye Amberlake. Too bad you were too weak to stay..."

"Brokenpaw...." Amberlake whispered with her last dying breath. I wiped my claws on the grass to get her blood off of them.

"NO!!!! AMBERLAKE!!!" Moonpaw shrieked. "BROKENPAW, YOU KILLED HER!!!!" I didn't even try to look like I regretted it. I shrugged. "She was going to die anyway. Why not make the process faster?" I meowed calmly.

"Brokenpaw! Claws are SHEATHED when practicing!" Birdsong meowed. "Come on!" she pulled me by my scruff. "Leopardstar will know what to do with you!"

Moonpaw turned and drug Amberlake's body behind us. It's not like I did anything wrong. I just sped up the natural process of death. Actually, I'm glad I might be kicked out of the Clan. This Clan is all weak! 

"Leopardstar! You need to see this!" Birdsong called.

"What is it?" Leopardstar meowed just as her eyes saw Amberlake's body. They slid over her body and landed on my claws, which were clogged with fur and blood. "Brokenpaw?" she whispered, staring at me in disbelief. "You did this?"

"Yes." I said simply. I don't regret it either.

"Brokenpaw, you have killed a Clanmate for the fun of it! You are banished from RiverClan! I give you one day to get off our territory. If we find you, my warriors have permission to chase you off." The warriors nodded at Leopardstar's words. "LEAVE US!" Leopardstar cried.

I looked at Moonpaw. "Come with me Moonpaw! We can go to father's Clan!"

"What? Father's Clan?" she mewed, confused. Yes, are you a mouse-brained kit, Moonpaw?

I rolled my eyes. "You didn't know? Tigerstar is our father!"

" Is this true?" she asked Leopardstar.

"Yes, Moonpaw, this is true. Your father is Tigerstar. I don't deny it." she meowed. "Well, whatever. Brokenpaw! Leave at once!"

I nodded my head at Moonpaw and slipped out of camp and RiverClan territory. I padded through the dense undergrowth of ShadowClan territory until I reached the camp.

"Wait! Who are you?" a gray and white tom apprentice hissed. "RIVERCLAN INTRUDER."

"No, I'm Tigerstar's daughter. Tell him Brokenpaw has come home." I meowed.

"We'll see about that. Follow me." he meowed. We padded towards the leader's den, and I was aware of the staring cats burning gazes. We entered Tigerstar's den.

"Who is this?" Tigerstar asked, gazing at us from the shadows.

"This is a RiverClan cat who claims to be your daughter," the tom dipped his head at Tigerstar.

"Wait. Brokenkit, is that you?" Tigerstar meowed.

"Yes. It's Brokenpaw now. I was exiled from RiverClan for killing my mentor. Moonpaw did not want to come with me." I told him. Of course she didn't. She wants to be weak like that whole Clan. 

"Ok, well we have business to take care of now. Brokenpaw, you are ready to become a warrior. You too, Strikepaw. And Mothpaw, Thornpaw and Stormpaw too. And Featherkit, Briarkit, and Bramblekit are 6 moons now." Tigerstar meowed. "All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the High Tree for a Clan meeting!" he called out. "I, Tigerstar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend them to you as a warrior in their turn. Brokenpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Brokenpaw, from this moment forward, you shall be known as Brokenshadow. StarClan honors your courage and skill, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ShadowClan."

"Strikepaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Strikepaw, from this moment forward, you shall be known as Strikestorm. StarClan honors your bravery and battle tactics, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ShadowClan."

"Mothpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Mothpaw, from this moment forward, you shall be known as Mothfur. StarClan honors your wisdom and determination , and we welcome you as a full warrior of ShadowClan."

"Thornpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Thornpaw, from this moment forward, you shall be known as Thornfoot. StarClan honors your speed and dedication, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ShadowClan."

"Stormpaw, do you promise to uphold the warrior code, even at the cost of your life?"

"I do."

"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Stormpaw, from this moment forward, you shall be known as Stormheart. StarClan honors your initiative and intelligence, and we welcome you as a full warrior of ShadowClan."

"Featherkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Featherpaw. Your mentor will be Brokenshadow. I hope Brokenshadow will pass down all he/she knows on to you. Brokenshadow, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to be courageous and skilled at fighting. You will be the mentor of Featherpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Featherpaw." I touched noses with Featherpaw.

"Bramblekit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Bramblepaw. Your mentor will be Strikestorm. I hope Strikestorm will pass down all he/she knows on to you. Strikestorm, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to be brave and skilled at battle. You will be the mentor of Bramblepaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Bramblepaw." Bramblepaw and Strikestorm touched noses.

"Briarkit, you have reached the age of six moons, and it is time for you to be apprenticed. From this day on, until you receive your warrior name, you will be known as Briarpaw. Your mentor will be Wolffall. I hope Wolffall will pass down all he/she knows on to you. Wolffall, you are ready to take on an apprentice. You have shown yourself to be wise and controlled during battle. You will be the mentor of Brairpaw, and I expect you to pass on all you know to Briarpaw." Briarpaw and Wolffall touched noses.

"Brokenshadow! Strikestorm! Mothfur! Thornfoot! Stormheart! Featherpaw! Bramblepaw! Brairpaw!"

"So, we're warriors now!!" Strikestorm called to me.

"Yes, we are. And I couldn't be prouder. One day I will lead my own Clan and I will be Brokenstar!" I replied. Look out Moonpaw. I'm coming for you.
