Swiftstep was exhausted he had spent the day hunting and patrolling the borders. He had worked harder than any other cat in the clan. As he walked past the nurser seeing some of the kittens played he bent down and mewed something to them than tossed a peace of dog fur he had found on the moor lands in the air. The kits went crazy chasing it. He forced a purr and a smile out before heading to the den. Walking in he padded to his nest in the middle of the den and curled up and drifted to sleep.

His vision clouded and become a dark haze. There were no stars where swiftstep was now being carried too. there were screeches and blood curtling calls. This was the dark forest will all of the cats with no hearts ended up. The dark forest had tried to take over the clans before but failed. Those who were currently there were unsure as to what would be their future. They could continue to train strong warriors. Cats from the other clans had already gone missing because they had been killed here in the dark forest. Some just weren't cut for the job and those who weren't good at it, or didn't pass their tests, didn't derserve to live.
He was a black tom who came to swiftstep this night. He was Windclans previous deputy. He had tried to murder the deputy before him, and the leader before Nightstar to work his way up in the clan. However, he was killed by a ShadowClan warrior in battle many moons ago. His claws were as sharp as thorns. He needed to get back at his clan for not letting him become leader he just had too.
His piercing Amber gaze locked on with Swiftep."Welcome to the place of no stars...." he mewed. His words were like ice and he had a dark grin on his muzzle as he spoke.

Swiftstep blinked open his eyes when he heard a voice thinking it was morning already. He stood up and gave his pelt a shake with out a complaint. But when he looked up at the cat the words sank in and a smile spread across his maw. He had heard of this place. This was the place that tried to destroy the clans. Or that's what he was told. He wonder if his father was here or in Starclan. If he was here he would kill him again. He would enjoy sinking his teeth into his father flesh and feel the blood poor out.
Giving his head a shake he looked at the clan and spoke. [/b]"The place of no stars. I have heard of this place. I am honored that you choose to come to me. But why have you come to me?"
Would he receive training like cats had before him? Would they lead him in revenge against the clans? He would do all this willingly. He would destroy Thunderclan, Riverclan and Shadowclan. And he would rule the only clan that was left. But it would no longer be Windclan.

Blackthorn wrapped his tail around his paws."How dare you ask me such a foolish question. Why am I here...perhaps.....Shadowstar was wrong about you...then again ShadowClan cats have always had bees for brains. The previous WindClan deputy mewed. The tom stood up straight and walked over to Swiftstep. Clearly he wasn't thinking right."Follow me." he mewed.
The black tom padded into darkness which soon turned into a forest that was covered in a light purple haze. There were other clan cats here."You are here to become a real warrior Swiftstep." He flicked his tail to a clan cat. His name was Flamepaw. He was from WindClan."Kill him." he mewed."He didn't pass his assessment. He doesn't derseve to live as a clan cat. Why would his clan want him. Can you kill your own clan mate? Swiftstep...."

Swiftstep lashed his tail as the cat yelled at him but said nothing. He would prove himself worthy. He would do what ever it took. He he was ordered to fallow he did so. When he saw the apprentice he began to wonder why he was here. So they had picked him and he had failed. "I killed my father didn't I I can kill a scrawny apprentice as well." Swiftstep leaped at the cat his claws flashed as they tore at the apprentices muzzle. As he pinned him to the ground he smiled. "You should have passed your assessment you foolish cat. Now you'll join starclan." He raised his paw the claws glittered red with the apprentices blood. Than brought them down into the cats throat and ripped it open. Flamepaw gasped for breath for a few seconds than stilled.
Getting off Swiftstep raised and licked it. He than turned to Blackthorn and glared. "Did I pass my assessment?"

Blackthorn watched as he killed his own Clan mate. Blackthorn just nodded a look of impression in his dark colored eyes."Flamepaw will not be waking up tomorrow morning. Instead he will be soaring in the place of stars. We all knew he was spying. We knew it." Blackthorn made a tsk tsk sound and padded along walking past battling cats "You won't be fighting today Swiftstep. Instead you will be watching. You see the Dark forest, we were destroyed many moons ago. Completely. Back when Tigerstar was leading us. However, I am the leader now. THat will not happen again. We will be more sneaky about it. Killing cats off one by one in their dreams.....It's clever, isn't it swiftstep?

Swiftstep nodded, "That is fine with me he was not a worthy apprentice. If he hadn't died now he would of died later when I take over the clan. Now I have one less cat to get in my way." Swiftstep padded along behind Blackthorn. His blood pumping for another kill but when Blackthorn said he would not fight no more tonight but watch he felt disappointed. As he listened to Blackthorns plans he smiled, "Yes a very good plan one I would enjoy helping with very much." With Blackthorn training him in his dreams he will soon be the most powerful warrior in the forest. And while he bedded his time until he could take over Windclan he could destroy those who would try to stop him in there dreams. It was the perfect plan.

Blackthorn raised a brow. Take over WindClan. HA in his dreams maybe."Why shoot for so small Swiftstep when you can achieve bigger things. Why take over one clan when you can have two? Have bigger ambitions my friend." The long furred black cat continued walking until they came to a stream. He dipped his paw in it and nodded."The stream is running red....another cat has just died here....you see we go to cats in their dreams to train them. However during the day we meld in the shadows and watch...if we here you are spying on us...we have you killed. We will never ask you to train during the day....we want cats to die unexpectedly....if you know what I mean.

Swiftstep hissed slightly, "You must start small before going big. I will need the force of a clan to defeat another clan. Windclan is first than the rest of the clans will either join me or be destroyed." His ambitions where big that much was true. But it took patients to think through every little bit of his plan. He needed rouges and loners to help his as well as warriors from other clans. Those who helped him now would be rewarded once he ruled the forest. "As they showed all spies should be tortured and killed." Yes he knew what the warrior meant.

Blackthorn flicked his tail and padded through the red stream onto the other side."Good you are smarter than you look. I knew I chose right. Darkshadow didn't think you would make it but I told him otherwise. You make me....proud....." The tom dipped his head and continued on."Yes they will be killed, and with each cat killed it makes the clans weaker and weaker. Of course leafbare and natural disasters help as well. Soon the clans will be so weak that we can attack and take over without a problem... I have this thoroughly planned out...."

Swiftstep crossed the river not even flinching at the feel of blood running over his paws. "Darkshadow should learn to shut his mouth. I'll pass all your test's and more. I'll do what ever it takes to take over the forest." If he failed in life he would continue in death until one of his sons took over. He would haunt their dreams like Blackthorn haunts his. But he would not think of that not yet. "What about Starclan? Surely they will notice you beginning to gain your strength back eventually and warn the clan cats again like they did before. How do we stop them from alerting the clans?" It's not like they could attack Starclan and kill them or anything. Last he heard these cats couldn't set foot in Starclan.

Blackthorn listened while he talked about StarClan."I've thought that through which is what makes us stronger. There is no prophecy about the Dark Forest. Our come back hasn't been predicted. As I gain strength yeah StarClan might notice but i've noticed a loophole. We can physically go down into the forest. We can live among the clan cats. StarClan doesn't know who is in the dark forest and who isn't. I plan to bring a brigade down as rogues and join the clans. StarClan is required to protect us...because we fight for their "Noble code" We will start boarder battles and kill cats from the other clans, the rogues we won't attack each other....It's very simple. You must think I'm foolish...if you thought I didn't think about StarClan."

Swiftstep listened closely to what the dark warrior said. With ever word a smile began to cross his face. That was perfect. "No I did not think you or anyone else here a fool. I just like to cover every end and know that it is covered. I figured if you did not have a plan yet you would be working on one. And that is a very good plan. I can imagine it now chaos in the clans. Not knowing who they could trust and who was their enemy. This is a great plan that you have. And I would love to participate in any way possible as long as it gets me what I want that is of course." He laughed softly and his eyes burned with hatred for the three clans he wished to destroy. He was eager to start the war. But he knew it would be a while before he would rule Windclan.

Blackthorn nodded. Good, he had a follower."The best way to gain followers in the dark side is to start with the younger apprentices or kits. Their minds can't handle a lot and they are easily perswayed. After that, they become dark, evil, power hungry." Blackthorn looked at the sky and noticed that in the real world the sun was rising."I will have to be letting you wake up now.....everytime you sleep...or if you ever want to leave....this is the portal for you. You will wake up and swear you just had a strange dream. We can't force you to come here....I won't do what Tigerstar did. It was foolish....and it cost him the entire forest..."

Swiftstep nodded, yes he could understand that. Kits and apprentices where the future of a clan and therefore where the way for him to rule the forest. "Yes I have already begun speaking with a Shadowclan apprentice he is almost a warrior but I think he mind can still be bent to my ways." Fallowing Balckthorn's gaze he spotted the sun rising in the real world. "Yes I should be going. And no need to worry your not forcing me to come I'll come as often as possible though there may be some night I am unable to come because of clan duties." With that he turned and padded away. Soon his body faded away and he woke up in his next. He yawned and blinked his eyes before a wide smile spread across his face. And so it begins again, he thought to himself and headed out of the den.
