The Four Cats Of Darkness
"The Clans had been up and running for many seasons, the four founding leaders had passed on to StarClan and the four Clans had new leaders. Rosestar of MoonClan, Lightstar of DawnClan, Snowstar of IceClan, and Duskstar of DarkClan. All seemed calm and peaceful, but something was stirring in the darkness of the land...
The medicine cat of DarkClan received a prophecy from StarClan, "Beware the four cats of Darkness, for they will turn on the Clans. They must die, but only the one can truly destroy them."
Four cats where born into DarkClan, two toms and two she-cats. The toms were called Amberkit and Greenkit, the she-cats Purplekit and Bluekit. They were black, but one had amber eyes, one had green, one purple, and one blue. They grew up very close to each other. Their hearts turned to poison when a rogue killed there mother Darkflower. They became warriors know as Ambereye, Greentooth, Purpleclaw and Blueeye.
Now, our story begins...
Ambereye padded through the pine forest on his patrol of the MoonClan border. He smelt something lingering on their side of the border. Rogue. Ambereye called his patrol to the scent. As they moved through the forest, Ambereye could see him. "DarkClan!!!" his voice called through the forest to his patrol members,
"Attack!!"
On the other side of the border, an injured rogue was pulled in to the camp.
"Rosestar!!" called Fernwhisker, a MoonClan warrior.
Rosestar ran out of her den, "Another one, Sunleaf!" she called to the medicine cat. Sunleaf ran in to the clearing and saw the golden tom lying on the ground, bleeding.
"Pumkinpaw!" he called, "I need cobwebs and marigold!" The apprentice ran to the medicine cats den and brought the herbs and the cobwebs. The rogue woke up, gasping, "Where am I?"
Ambereye padded back into the DarkClan camp with blood covering his claws.
His sister Purpleclaw ran up to him, "Another rogue?" she asked with an evil snicker.
"I think it was the same one that killed our mother," Greentooth came up to them.
"Where is he now?" Ambereye growled,
"MoonClan. I'll bet that they are healing him... soft-hearted kittypets!" Blueeye came up to them with some prey and dropped it at their paws. She looked over her shoulder, "Here comes Cindernose."
he medicine cat padded up to them, "You four had better come with me. We need to talk." He lead then out of the camp to a small clearing.
"I know what you did," he hissed. "You took four lives from Snowstar in the battle with IceClan."
Ambereye remembered that day. He and his littermates had cornered the IceClan leader in a cave and stripped her of four lives granted from StarClan .
"So what?" hissed Greentooth. "No one knows!"
"Not until I tell them!" Cindernose growled back and ran off. He was caught by Purpleclaw.
"You know to much..." she said. The three other cats where stalking up on him. An ear piercing scream hit the air.
Ambereye washed the blood off his claws and out of the corner of his eye and saw a cat running to the camp.
"Grasswind..." he said and headed back to the camp with Cindernose's dead body behind him. The four black cats entered the camp with all the cats glaring at them.
Duskstar was on the Dirtpile looking at them. "Cats of my Clan!" he called, "I have heard that four cats in our Clan have just killed our medicine cat, Cindernose." Gasps filled the clearing where the cats were gathered at the foot of the Dirtpile.
"These cats are Ambereye, Greentooth, Purpleclaw and Blueeye."
Back in MoonClan camp the rogue was sitting with Rosestar, fully healed.
"I see you are better," she said.
"Yes. I thank you for saving me" he replied.
"Now," Rosestar began, "Who are you, and what were you doing in our territory?" she asked.
The tom took a deep breath. "I have many names. Call me what you want," he shrugged. "As for why I am here, there is trouble in another Clan. There are four deadly warriors. I have determined that they are in DarkClan."
"Go on," prompted Rosestar.
"StarClan has chosen me to kill them! I killed their mother so they wouldn't be born but I was too late."
Rosestar gasped and he continued.
"There names are Ambereye, Greentooth, Purpleclaw and Blueeye. Ambereye is like the leader and cannot be harmed; Greentooth has poison in his teeth, any cat he bites will die a few days later; Purpleclaw is unnaturally stealthy, she can hide in the shadows, come up right behind you and you'll never know what hit you; Blueeye can heal any cat, any wound, but she will only heal her littermates."
Rosestar got up and took a breath. "Thank you for this information. I shall call you Ray, for when the sun shines on your fur, it is like a ray of sunlight in the darkness."
The whole Clan gasped and turned to the four dark warriors.
Duskstar's voice ran trough the Clan. "I sentence you four to exile. If you are found on DarkClan territory," he paused, "You will be killed." Ambereye snarled at Duskestar and left the camp with his siblings.
"Who needs them?" Purpleclaw hissed.
"Yeah," said Blueeye. "Now we can do whatever we want." Whatever we want....

Ray woke up. Four moons had passed since he had come to MoonClan. Rosestar had let him stay as long as he needed. He helped out in the Clan and had made many friends. He was still on the look out for the four cats of Darkness. As he left the den and made his way into the clearing, he was greeted by two of his closest friends, Fernwhisker and Snowshard.
"Hi Ray!" called Snowshard, "Want to come on the border patrol?"
"Sure," Ray replied calmly. The three cats padded out of the camp to the DarkClan border. The patrol was going well until...
"YOU!" screamed a voice from the other side of the border. Ray turned to see a brown she-cat and an orange tom standing over the body of a dead cat.
"You killed him! You had too! You and your MoonClan cats are the only ones who were here?"
Fernwhisker started arguing with the she-cat and the tom. He and Snowshard had their hackles raised. Ray walked up to the body and sniffed it. It smelled like a foul thunderpath. Greentooth. Ray ran away from the fighting cats to the wolf track, where wolves went to hunt and play.
Then he say them, Ambereye, Purpleclaw, Greentooth and Blueeye, standing over Rosestar's body.
"Finally," Ambereye called, "We found you."
Ray snorted "More like I found you. You have killed more cats than any cat can count!"
"So?" hissed Greentooth. "They were in our way."
Ray looked confused "Way of what?"
Ambereye stalked forward. "Our way..." he said "Of alimenting all Clan cats!" Ray gasped. "No!" he screamed as he launched himself at Ambereye, who jumped out of the way. Ray landed on Purpleclaw and bit down on her neck hard. She screamed in pain and fell to the ground, dead. Ray wiped the blood off his face and turned to face Ambereye.
"No one has ever hurt her!" Ambereye cried in disbelief, "And then you come alone and kill her?"
Ray lifted his head high and said stared at Ambereye. "StarClan blessed me. No one can kill you but me! It is my destiny to save the Clans and kill the four cats of darkness!"
Greentooth growled at Ray and pounce on him, followed by Ambereye and Blueeye. The fight took a moon, chase after chase. Blueeye healed Purpleclaw for the final fight.
Ray pounced on Greentooth and ripped open his throat. He turned to face Purpleclaw and did the same. Blueeye rounded on him and Ray turned, slicing open her stomach. She to fell to the ground dead.
Ambereye was the only one left. Ray pined him down easily.
"How," Ambereye gasped, "can you heal yourself, be more stealthy than all of us, kill will one bite and be quicker after fighting us?"
"Have you ever heard what ever can't kill you will only make you stronger?" Ray asked. "After I killed your mother, I got all your abilities, and you're trying to kill me? I took a little more of your abilities every time we fought!"
"You cant kill us! Our heir will live! We will come back!" Ambereye yowled. Ray snorted and ripped Ambereye's heart out. As Ambereye died he said, "You should know, there are thousands of Clans out there... our heir could be anywhere..."
Ray heard his enemy fall. It was over. Ray sighed and saw Rosestar.
He turned to her and said, "Rosestar, be safe. Tell the Clan I love them. Now, I must leave and find the heir to the four cats of darkness." He padded up to her and rubbed noses with her.
"Goodbye Ray. Be safe, my love." Rosestar left, leaving Ray with the bodies of the four cats of darkness. He sighed and padded away. Away from the forest to new Clans that awaited him. When he was out of sight, Blueeyes body turned to black mist and in its place was a small, black,mewling kit."
