Prolouge
<p style="text-align:center;">Halfmask sat down surrounded by cats who vowed unwavering loyalty to him during his leadership as RiverClan. Ripplestar was weak and had given RiverClan the reputation of being the weakest clan, weaker then WindClan. <p style="text-align:center;">He would have to have his descedents as the next leader and he didn't have a mate. He had one she-cat perfectly in mind, Sablepaw. She was the most beautiful she-cat in the clan, if he couldn't get her then he would get Newtstripe's and Bubblespot's daughter, Crescentpaw. <p style="text-align:center;">Fox, the ginger tom growled" So you want us to help you, am I correct?" Halfmask matched the coldness in his voice" Yes, if you do, you will be the senior warriors." Jagged hissed" Is that it for us, what if you want a young she-cat to be your mate." Speckle's tail lash" Let Halfmask tell us his plan and you get what you want?" <p style="text-align:center;">Speckle was expecting Fox's kit but wasn't his mate, she sat down next to Aspen and Ragged and Halfmask glared at them, he towered all of them. Halfmask meowed" Alderglare has already organize the young she-cats you get, which speaking of Alderglare who gets who." <p style="text-align:center;">Alderglare growled" Fox, you get Crescentpaw, Thistle you get Wavepaw, Wolf you can have Bluepaw, Ragged you can have Splashpaw and Jagged you can have Pebblemist, Frost, you get Bramblepaw." Jagged hissed" Why do I have to get Pebblemist, she a warrior isn't she." Halfmask snapped at Jagged" It is the way it is, you forget I have to have Sablepaw." <p style="text-align:center;">As Jagged grunted, Halfmask hissed" We will attack at dawn, I will lead you and send many patrols out. You must get to Ripplestar and end her, whoever does that is my deputy." Halfmask nodded to Alderglare and the other cats" Now, we attack." <p style="text-align:center;">

Chapter 1
<p style="text-align:center;">Sablepaw slid out the den, standing next to Ripplestar meowing" Are we doing anything today?" Ripplestar shook her head" You must be tired after the gathering, go get some rest." Halfmask stood outside the den organizing patrols" Scarberry, lead a hunting patrol to Silver lake take Thistlefang, Seamist, Newtstripe and Bubblespot." Halfmask then turn to Creekrun" take Heronstep, Juniperspots,Goldspot, Bluesquall and Leapingfish to the Pine hills." <p style="text-align:center;">"Splashfoot take Blackstream, Sandstripe,Darksky, Oceanheart to the Oak forest." Why are the dawn patrols so far from the camp? " Foxflight, take Silverbrook and Watermist to the Birch ridge." <p style="text-align:center;">The patrols headed out of camp, Crescentpaw was talking to Sootpaw while Ivorypaw stayed at camp, he was healing from a cut on his paw pad. As the patrols disappeared, Halfmask took a fish and snacked on it quickly. <p style="text-align:center;">Ivorypaw stared at the huge tom, who was leaving the camp with Alderglare" Why he made huge patrols, it is not like him to do that?" As Sablepaw shrugged Magpiepaw yawned" Who cares, it not like we have seen any mouse-brain ThunderClan cats." <p style="text-align:center;">Marshpaw looked up from his trout" I had a bad feeling in my belly." Sablepaw turn to her brother" Why is that?" Marshpaw shrugged, fishing his carp." Squeaks came from the nursery, Sablepaw looked up and spotted Pikekit, Minnowkit and Troutkit playing. Minnowkit was the only she-kit of the litter while Troutkit and Pikekit was the toms. The kits was playing with Deepkit and Shallowkit. <p style="text-align:center;">Minnowkit wrestled with Deepkit while Troutkit and Pikekit went after Shallowkit. She look at the kits playing and suddenly felt the wind howling which sent her fur pricking, why does camp seem suddenly unsafe. <p style="text-align:center;">Shadows exploded into the camp, and Sablepaw leaped to her paw. A ginger tom hissed" I never expecting a clan to be so lax." The kits squealed in terror as Stonefur and Leopardspot nudged them to the nursery. The ginger tom yowled " Attack." Beachfoot lunge for a gray tom and the two was wrestling, Sablepaw turn to Ashpaw,who was horrified" Get the patrols Halfmask sent out." <p style="text-align:center;">Sablepaw lunge at a ginger tortoiseshell she-cat, she hiss with pure fury and let her crashed into her. She grabbed the she-cat and bit down her shoulder, with a screech she flung her off and she felt dizzy. A screech made Sablepaw look up" Ripplestar", she yowl as the leader crumble to the ground. <p style="text-align:center;">It her 8th life, surely she will be okay. <p style="text-align:center;">Sablepaw felt a cat claw into her flank, it was a large tabby sinking his claws into her flank. She spun and lash at his muzzle, rearing up and battering the tom muzzle. Sootpaw raced into camp, followed by a large amount of cats. <p style="text-align:center;">The patrols are back. <p style="text-align:center;">Filled with hope, she sank her teeth into the tom's neck and held on. He yowl in agony and Sablepaw let go before lunging for his belly and slash it. Suddenly a yowl made her and her enemy freeze" Stop." <p style="text-align:center;">It was Turtlebrook, she crouch next to Ripplestar and her voice cracked" Ripplestar is gone and I know who ended her." Every cat looked up at Turtlebrook and she pointed her tail to Alderglare. Alderglare smirked" Your such a clever cat, Turtlebrook." <p style="text-align:center;">Yowls of outrage came from the RiverClan cats and Sablepaw stared in horror at Alderglare, Halfmask leaped to the clan rock and meowed" I am the new leader of RiverClan but first I will get my nine lives. Before I do that, I will welcome the rogues here to join us." Beachfoot snarled in rage" They attack us, we can't live among them." <p style="text-align:center;">Halfmask snarled" Shut up, Beachfoot unless you want to be just like Ripplestar. They fought well for my leadership and yes, I planned this attack." Newtstripe spat" You can't be our leader, StarClan will never allow it." <p style="text-align:center;">Halfmask snarled" Watch me. Alderglare and Fox, your in charge make sure those pathetic cats go to their dens" He scramble down the clan rock and beckon Turtlebrook with his tail who followed him out of camp for his nine lives. <p style="text-align:center;">Sablepaw went to her den and sat down, Crescentpaw whimpered" I can't believe Halfmask is our leader." Magpiepaw and Jackdawpaw wasn't making jokes for once, they realized how serious was the predicament. <p style="text-align:center;">Suddenly the ginger tom who was in charge stuck his head into the apprentice den. Crescentpaw hissed" We don't want you here." The tom meowed" What your name, I'm Fox." Crescentpaw hissed" I'm not telling you." <p style="text-align:center;">Fox ear flicked" Ahh, your Crescentpaw, Halfmask told me about you, come outside of camp now." With that Crescentpaw stormed out and Sablepaw sneaked out of camp and crouch in the reed beds Fox and Crescentpaw faced each other. <p style="text-align:center;">Fox stared at Crescentpaw before meowing" Crescentpaw, you such a strong and beautiful she-cat, shame that Halfmask tells me that you spend all your time with Jackdawpaw." He flick his tail under her chin and she snapped at it but missed. <p style="text-align:center;">Fox meowed" You deserve more then just a mouse-brain apprentice."Crescentpaw snapped" He is not mousebrained." Fox growled" Don't be Jackdawpaw just be my mate and it will be all be fine." <p style="text-align:center;">
