Takeover

Prologue
A black tom stepped into the cave, his fottsteps echoing off of the walls. His venomous green eyes glittered menacingly in the darkness as he looked around the cave for cats. One particular cat, that is.

"Where are you, Star?" he hissed.

A small creamy white she-cat stepped out of a crack in the cave. Head held high, she looked up at the larger tom, amber eyes slightly fearful, but only slightly.

"Remember our deal," the black tom snapped.

"Oh, I remember, all right," the she-cat -Star- replied. "But it was never a deal. I never promised to tell you."

"Suit yourself," the tom replied, and put a paw, claw stretched out, above her throat.

"I don't care," Star snapped. "You can kill me, but I'll never tell you about the Clans. Never! Come up with your own plans." With that, she darted away to another part of the cave.

But the black tom didn't give up. "Say, your brother, what was his name? Sun?"

Star nodded. "Yes, but Sun left on a quest. How do you know about him?" She was shivering now, wondering why the tom had brought up Sun.

"I have him captive, and I will kill him," the tom told her. "Unless you tell me about a good plan."

Star's eyes grew wide. "O-okay. Sh-shadowClan are in n-need of a leader. Y-you can c-come to th-them and b-become their l-leader. Th-then, y-you can t-take over the other cl-clans. B-but you'll n-never b-be able t-to! I w-will f-figure out h-how to st-stop you!"

The black tom nodded. "Oh really? Will you be able to stop me once you're-" he killed her with a slash to the throat "-dead?" He showed no compassion as the she-cat lay dead, blood spilling out of her throat, staining her fur, and the floor of the cave, bright red. Instead, he grinned.

"Perfect. Now I will have absolute power!"
