Raven: Never Ending Shadows (story 3) [COMPLETE!]

by NightRaven

NightRaven "Beware of a cat with a heart as black as night...for the shadow will only become stronger every moment..."

Bramblestorm has become Bramblestar, leader of ShadowClan. Raven and him fought but Raven lost. Will this darkness ever end? Or will Raven find her way to save the forest from living in fear of Bramblestars rule?

Raven has the fate of the forest in her paws....
All was pure black and silent. There was a muffled voice. "Is she okay?" It asked nervously. "She should be..." Another answered. "Wake up!" The same one yelped.
(Thank you from Okami would be a good theme to listen to right about now cx )
Everything soon became blurry but cleared up in a short matter of time. "Told ya!" The same voice blurted out. Two cats were standing nearby. "I'm surprised you lived!" The other called out. "Raven!" A familiar voice called out in happiness.

Raven looked around slowly. "Where am I? It feels so...familiar..." She whispered. "It's the ShadowClan camp! Bramblestar was forced out by all of us. We found you almost dead and I was so worried!" The familiar one whimpered. "Midnight..?" Raven mewed. Midnight nodded.

Raven tackled Midnight. "I missed you!" She yowled. "You are now leader, again, of ShadowClan.." A cat nearby mewed. "I...I am?" Raven seemed shocked and nervous at the same time. The cat nodded.

"Welcome back to ShadowClan, Nightstar!" A few cats yowled in happiness. "You shall rule over us all again!" Many other cats yowled. Raven smiled nervously. "You...you all really think I should become leader of ShadowClan again? Well...okay then....." She mewed. She sat ontop of a massive rock of which over looked the whole camp.

Midnight sat beside Raven, now known as Nightstar. Nightstar looked down at all the ShadowClan cats. "Midnight, now known as Nightfall, shall be my deputy." Nightstar announced. Midnight, now known as Nightfall, nodded and padded towards the warriors den. Nightstar slept in her den relaxing after everything that happened.

Nightstar had an odd dream; she was running through the forest with another cat of which was just a shadow at the corner of her eye for every time she looked at it, it vanished. Suddenly the cat was killed right before her eyes by what appeared to be nothing. She pinned her ears back in terror and tried to run away, but she couldn't escape this forest. The thing that killed the other cat caught up to her, its amber eyes burning into her very soul.

It leapt at her and slashed at her throat, causing her to fall to the ground, bleeding but then the ground gave way into a river of blood of which she coulnd't move in. Everything was beginning to fade to a pitch black and soon she woke up, her eyes wide in terror and breathing heavily. She shuddered in fear. She sighed and curled up in a ball of fur. She tried to sleep but couldn't; she decided to rest until she did.

By the time it was morning, Nightstar padded out of her den, stretching. She only had slept for a small amount of time. The first cat she saw was Nightfall who was sitting in the center of the clearing. "Good morning, Nightstar." Nightfall mewed. Nightstar looked around nervously.

"Have any of you seen Bramblestar?" Nightstar asked nervously. Nightfall shook her head. Nightstar pinned her ears back. "When will we catch him?" Nightstar wondered. "Who knows..." Nightfall mewed.

"I'll be on a search. You watch over the Clan." Nightstar mewed as she padded out of the camp. Nightfall nodded. She leapt onto the high-rock. She smiled down at the Clan. "I'll take good care of ShadowClan while you're gone..." Nightfall whispered to herself.

Nightstar searched all throughout ShadowClan territory and soon caught scent of Bramblestar. It was stale, but she followed it anyways. It led outside of all Clan boundaries. "Hopefully he doesn't come back..." Nightstar hissed. She returned to ShadowClan territory.

"Any luck?" Nightfall asked when Nightstar came into sight. Nightstar shook her head and padded to her den, where she rested for a while. Nightfall sighed and padded around the camp nervously. Nightstar stared at the ground. "When will Bramblestar strike..? How? Where?" Nightstar mewed nervously.

Nightfall shrugged. Nightstar returned to her den. "I have to find Bramblestar before he destroys us all..." She mewed to herself. She thought of many ways as to how she could find and kill Bramblestar. She soon left ShadowClan's camp.

She caught his scent almost instantly and she saw him. She unsheathed her claws and watched him, but this wasn't him! She soon recognized it was a ShadowClan warrior and her claws were sheathed in an instant. She returned to her den, thinking to herself. Great StarClan! I almost just killed one of my own warriors! Ugh, I must be very blind! She thought, almost hissing the thoughts to herself.

She curled up in her den and fell asleep rather quickly. (I'm doing dreams in bold) She was in a fight with Bramblestar and many other cats of which seemed to be his followers. She charged at him, swiping her claws across his face, but nothing happened. She leapt at him, but he raised his claws and left a long scar starting from her chest to the base of her tail and leaving a long wave of blood. She fell onto the ground, struggling to breathe.

He stared at Nightstar and hissed something in her ear. "I'll rule the whole forest before you can find me...You wont stop me either...for I'll kill you before you lay a single claw on me." he growled. Soon, everything went black and she woke up, breathing heavily. It was in the middle of the night. "That couldn't have been a sign..." She mewed in terror, but even she doubted her own words.

Nightstar left her den, shivering in fear. She decided to leave ShadowClan's territory and out into a place she labeled the "unknown" as she hadn't a clue what was out there. She wandered around and instantly caught Bramblestar's scent. Fear shot through her, but pain did as well. He had been waiting for her.

She whipped around and attacked. She bit his neck, but it didn't seem to do anything...just like in the dream. Bramblestar charged at her, latching onto her neck and tearing her apart. Nightstar got away and ran back to ShadowClan's camp, breathing heavily. Luckily, she got away from the massive tabby.

Nightfall saw Nightstar run back to camp.(I'm changing Nightfall's name to Duskfall xD ) "What is it, Nightstar?" The black she-cat asked. "Bramblestar!" She yowled in response. The whole camp rushed out of their dens in fear and alarm. They murmured many things about him.

Nightstar climbed up to the High Rock and called the Clan for a meeting, the rest of the cats spilling out of their dens. "I have spotted Bramblestar in the fields outside of the camp. He attacked me as I was wandering and so we must prepare for another attack!" She warned. Just as she had warned them...Bramblestar, and a massive group of cats of which were his followers, had broken into the camp. "I will rule ShadowClan from now on!" Bramblestar snarled. Nightstar leapt off of the High Rock and the Elders protected the kits in the nursery and many brambles were set to block the entrance; the apprentices, queens, and Warriors, as well as the deputy and leader, had lined up, fur bristling and claws unsheathed.

"Attack!" Bramblestar yowled, and his warriors lunged at the ShadowClan warriors. Nightstar called for ShadowClan to attack as well. The whole camp was turned into a battle-field! Cats were slashing at eachother endlessly, blood was spilled on the ground, they were spitting insults at each other as well. Nightstar went straight for Bramblestar.

Bramblestar slashed at her shoulder, but she countered it with a bite to his neck. Then, she flipped him over with a powerful kick and clawed away. He yowled in pain as Nightstar didn't stop. She leapt high into the air and her claws were driven deep into his belly, causing him to yowl yet again. She saw a sharp stick that was stuck in the ground and soon got a hold of it.

Bramblestar got up. "You're not winning this battle so easily!" He snarled. He then lunged at Nightstar, ready to bite her. Nightstar lifted the sharp end of the stick and it went straight into his throat, causing him to fall over instantly and try to get it out...but he failed. The more he struggled, the more blood he lost.

His eyes were growing dull and his movements slowed. It seems StarClan couldn't heal him due to tye major injury as he didn't make another move. His followers saw their leader dead and they gasped in horror. "Retreat!" One of them yowled, and so they did, fur bristling and eyes wide. They left Bramblestar's body there.

"We did it! We saved ShadowClan!" Duskfall yowled and ShadowClan warriors were yowling in triumph. Little did they know...one of his followers were nearby. The black cat's eyes were narrowed, claws digging into the ground. "This isn't over yet...A dark day will come...and everything will change...(Gravity Falls reference)...until then, I'll be watching you..." It hissed. It soon left with the other followers.

That warrior was right...everything will change....

    I have new plans (finally!)! I'll be completing this story, and when I get done with it, then I'll move on to the next one I've already created. I'll decide if I just scratch it or not (but it depends if it's a request. If it's a request, I will not take it down)! Finally, I am actually thinking about wnat I'm gonna do rather than over-working myself and doing all of them at once! ^^

    Well, I've found my way slightly out of this period of writers block. But it'll probably be a very slow process. Sorry for the long delay!

    As said on one of my other works, school has been cancelled for Monday. So, that means lots of time for requests and lots of time for work! It's about time I start typing rather than drawing!

    I scratched the first idea. Sorry, but of course, I was too lazy to do that stuff ;-; weh. Anyways, Raven, in this, no longer has wings or spells; I figured that it'd be FAR too over-powered.
