The Dark Clans

Prologue
Two amber eyes glowed in the gloomy, foggy forest, shining with sinister cruelty and cunning. A spiky-furred, gray tom stalked to the eyes and nodded a greeting.

"Tigerstar, my former apprentice, you are doing a good job of leading the Dark Forest for someone who was a small, weak apprentice," Thistleclaw meowed, a teasing glint in his eye, "But I built you up to be a strong dark ally."

"Save it, Thistleclaw," Tigerstar meowed, stepping out of the shadows, "I am working on domination of the Clans. I have a master plan."

Thistleclaw narrowed his eyes, "Tell me more."

"I see dark blood in each of the Clans, and I will use them to my advantage!" Tigerstar explained in a low whisper. He led Thistleclaw to a murky pool and stared into it. Thistleclaw followed his lead and a brown tabby tom with blue eyes appeared.

"There's Hawkfrost of RiverClan, my son," Tigerstar meowed, gazing fondly at the cat in the pool.

"How, might I ask, is he dark?" Thistleclaw snorted, "Just because he is your son, doesn't mean he's evil."

"He became deputy when Mistyfoot went missing. She came back and took it away. He wants it back, Thistleclaw. It's as simple as that," Tigerstar meowed, "I know he will listen to me."

"And in WindClan?" Thistleclaw snapped impatiently.

"Mudclaw," Tigerstar meowed, watching as a mottled dark brown tom with amber eyes appeared, "Tallstar named Onewhisker leader when he died, but Mudclaw wants his leadership. I will help him with this."

"And if he doesn't listen?"

"I can make him listen. I can kill him slowly, one live at a time. Or I can let him live and kill off the rest of his Clan," Tigerstar meowed, "Probably the second choice, so there isn't a Clan anymore and the Clans are ruled by Tigerstar blood."

"So, I assume the dark blood in ShadowClan and ThunderClan will also be your kin?"

Tigerstar nodded and new cat appeared in the pool: a she-cat that was different shades of gray and a light sandy brown. "That's my daughter Tawnypelt. She has a heart of gold, but I can change that. I will kill all she loves if she refuses to be leader."
