ShadowClan Excerpt

OK, so lately I have taken an interest in ShadowClan, who knows why, but they had always been my least favorite clan. Now my least favorite is...WindClan. Anyway, this is a story I have written about ShadowClan after a battle that took place in The Power of Three.

"ShadowClan, gather!" Blackstar, leader of ShadowClan looked around at his clan. They had just returned from a battle in ThunderClan territory, with neither a win or loss. The cats below him padded around restlessly, waiting to see what he would say about the disappearance of the sun. "As we all know, the sun disappeared in the battle today. We can only take this as one sign, and that is that we must destroy ThunderClan, for no helpless clan should like here at the lake." Littlecloud, the ShadowClan medicine cat, stood up in the sea of cats around him. "I have not spoken to StarClan directly, but I believe that the sun disappearing was not a sign from our ancestors." Blackstar narrowed his eyes, and hissed, "Littlecloud, why do you address the clan before coming to me first?" All heads turned toward back to the medicine cat, who held gaze with his leader. "We only just returned, and I felt the clan should know. I can talk to you when this meeting is over if you would like." With that, he dipped his head and trotted back to the medicine cat den. Blackstar lashed his tail, giving one yowl to his clan, "ShadowClan will prevail!" The cats below him echoed his cry, then returned to camp life, creating border and hunting patrols as well as training apprentices and looking after wounds.

Russetfur, ShadowClan's deputy was the only cat still sitting below the tree from where Blackstar had addressed the clan. "The sun dissapearing must mean something, Blackstar." The she-cat warned him. "A change is coming, and ShadowClan must be ready for it." Blackstar padded past his deputy. "ShadowClan is strong, we can handle anything."
