Young Demise

Prologue
"Claw his eyes out!" My best friend Silverpaw yowled from the blurred flurries of cats that clashed together in a gruesome blast of claws.

Hawkpaw glanced at his slight blood leaking from his pads, his outstretched claws stained a bright, fresh red, marked him a true apprentice, but then reality caught him. The blood was coming from himself, his wounds were deep and the opponet stood afront.

"Oh you made a wrong decision fighting me kiddo." The young warrior laughed at Hawkpaw, his fluffed brown tabby fur and bright green eyes showed a warrior trained by the Dark Forest.

Hawkpaw stretched out his claws, but as he swiped he mistimed it. The claws skimmed the flank of the tom, but the well trained warrior landed a blow straight to Hawkpaw's chest.

Hawkpaw's eyes widened and his claws sheathed in, falling back onto his spine wincing. His eyes stayed close as he coughed up blood, he turned his head weakly, slightly opening his eyes. Silverpaw stopped her slashing and escaped her opponet, heading towards him.

"Hawkpaw!" Tear had already poured from her bright yellow eyes, she sat down brushing her paw slightly over Hawkpaw's wound.

The warrior glanced at the two with completely surprised eyes, he looks ashamed and winced. Taking his head away from them a single tear dripped away from his eye as he ran off from the battle.

Hawkpaw managed to make out a smile, that somewhat looked like a face of shock. But that's exactly what he was in as Silverpaw laid her muzzle onto his cheek. "You won't make it Hawkpaw..." She sobbed quietly. "But I wanted us to be elder's together..."

Hawkpaw's vision blurred again as his body went numb, he blinked hot, slicing tears away from his eyes. The pain was gone, but not the pain from inside his heart.

He couldn't speak as blood trickled from his mouth, the claw marks on his chest felt deep as he closed his eyes. "STAY WITH ME!" Silverpaw began screaming out. "I can't afford to lose you, I love you Hawkpaw! You told me this was your chance to shine! Not...Not die!" She sobbed sputtering tears onto Hawkpaw's chest.

He breathed but as he let out his breath, he couldn't take in another breath of air. It didn't feel like being sufficated, it felt soothing as his entire mind became empty. He wished he could tell Silverpaw what he thought about her, but the death was overwhealming. As he wanted to breath again he was whisked away into darkness.

A bright light shone from a spirit, it was his mother who he had seen pass from the battle.

"Mother I wanted to fight....I don't want to die." Hawkpaw began spilling it out as he glanced down in awe at his own body.

"Nor did I my sweet son. I love you so much, and I know Silverpaw wanted you to stay with her. She is very sad." His mother dipped her head and turned it to the sky.

Hawkpaw shook his head. "No...No! I refuse...I won't go to StarClan!" He sobbed to her and backed away.

His mother's eyes shot open. "Hawkpaw no! Don't run away, if I don't take you to StarClan you won't get there! Please follow me!"

Hawkpaw shook his head and ran off tears fading from the air as he ran....
