Hawkshadow Speaks: My Revenge

The moment I saw my mentor and good friend Ryewhisker fall, I knew I had to seek revenge on the cats that had brought the tom to his death——Nettlefrost especially, because after all he killed Ryewhisker for no reason.

When we got chased off my that goody ThunderClan deputy after attempting to murder Swiftdapple, we gathered some rogues that would eventually join us in our plot to destroying the Clans like Reedtail wished.

“We shall promise you get the best shelter and prey the forests can offer,” Ryewhisker promised the starving boney cats. “If you help us overthrow the Clans, you will forever be great and feared.

Slash, the leader of the group of rogues we had encountered, stared up at Ryewhisker with interest. “If we get to bask in every last drop of blood from these cats you speak of, then I shall help you with my fellow rogues.” His voice ended up as a deep purr as if he imagined himself indulging in the blood of his enemies.

We headed back where we came to find the Clan cats so we could kill them off first. What better way than to interfere with StarClan’s so-called ‘prophecy’? They found us——or more like we found them——and we threw ourselves into battle. Then those dreaded Clan cats took Ryewhisker`s life, and from that moment on, I knew I had to take all of their lives so Ryewhisker wouldn’t have died in vain.

When we returned to the territories Frostleaf had been informed of my behaviour and how Ryewhisker had been killed. “Thank you,” the RiverClan leader meowed to Nettlefrost, dipping her head respectfully. “I shall see that Hawkshadow gets exiled for his crime.”

She has no care over Ryewhisker dying! Anger clawed at me. ''How could cats not feel any greif over the best RiverClan warrior falling? RiverClan would be nothing without Ryewhisker’s skill and strength!''

I had been exiled; thrown out of my Clan as if I were the weakest warrior there. That wasn’t true! I was strong; I was great; I had as much brute strength as Ryewhisker! As I roamed the forest, I seeked Ashcloud’s help. Ashcloud accepts and helps me as we head over to ThunderClan. Ratfang, Haywhisker and Russetsky joined us to plot revenge on the Clans. That was when I found out an old ally of mine, Reedtail, had also been exiled, but a few moons before I had returned to let my vengeance commence.

“Reedtail almost killed Kestrelfeather in a training bout. He’s killed ShadowClan kits and threatened ThunderClan. He’s planning on luring foxes into their territory to attack and kill any patrols,” Haywhisker told me.

I nodded, feeling satisfied that Reedtail had done some deeds for me while I was absent.
