Chapter 47:

Darkstar and Goldenstar's past, Part 10

A Prophecy Of Night And Sun


Darkshade jumped at her sister's presence, Lightwave bolted off, "Darkshade... w-what-" Goldenshade began, then Darkshade cut her off, "NOTHING- N-NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" Darkshade hissed, then stomped back to camp. Goldenshade followed her but said nothing, Darkshade stopped and glared at her sister, "Well?" Darkshade hissed lowly, her tail lashing,

"...I won't tell Larkstar or Tidewhisper... but at least tell me what's happening...-" Goldenshade said, then Darkshade tackled the golden queen,

"You don't need to know ANYTHING! OKAY?!"

Darkshade hissed at her sister, Goldenshade became wide-eyed, Darkshade placed a claw on her sister's throat, "Stop pretending like you care! I know that you don't... you'll betray me one day..." Darkshade hissed lowly in Goldenshade's ear. Goldenshade started to gag as Darkshade's claw started to put pressure on her throat, Darkshade was smiling through it, then she let go of Goldenshade's throat. Goldenshade gasped, finally receiving air and started to then shake, Darkshade disappeared into the bushes, leaving Goldenshade with an eternity of guilt.

Goldenshade was breathing heavily, Goldenshade couldn't believe that her own sister almost suffocated her,

'...M-maybe I...d-deserve it...'

Goldenshade quietly thought for a moment, convincing herself that Darkshade was just not in a very great mood or... something was bothering her... Goldenshade scrambled to her paws and went back to camp. Darkshade was sitting at the entrance, Goldenshade nervously waved her paw in front of her sister's face, as if trying to get her attention.

Darkshade turned to look at Goldenshade, her gaze seemed empty. Goldenshade giggled nervously, "Stop." Darkshade mumbled, deadpan. Goldenshade blinked, "...I didn't even do anything-"

"That's right... I have to do everything myself." Darkshade hissed lowly, Goldenshade was shocked. Darkshade got up and walked away. Goldenshade stood there, questioning every memory she had had with her sister, then a flashback came to her.

...5 moons ago...

Darkpaw was near TideClan hunting grounds, trying to catch a vole. Then Goldenpaw rammed into her, knocking Darkpaw over, "HEY!" Darkpaw hissed, trying to battle Goldenpaw off of herself. Goldenpaw giggled with joy, "The apprentices and I wanted you to play with us!" Goldenpaw chirped, Darkpaw blinked, then her face lit up like Christmas morning,

"REALLY?! I-I mean, really?!" Darkpaw asked, trying to hide her excitement, Goldenpaw nodded, then grabbed Darkpaw and rushed to an old oak tree where all of the apprentices from each clan, TideClan, SnowClan, and SunClan were waiting. Though, no one knew that the apprentices were doing this. Goldenpaw chirped, "GUYS! DARKPAW SAID YES!" She squealed. The apprentices looked at Darkpaw, Poppypaw, an apprentice from SunClan said, "We're gonna play as the three clans, I'm gonna be Poppystar," Poppypaw declared, leaping onto one of the oak tree's large roots, "Leader of SunClan!" Poppypaw finished her sentence.

The rest of the apprentices took their names, as soon as it was Darkpaw's turn, Poppypaw cut in,

"Actually, you're name's gonna be Darkshadow, and you're gonna be the villain! Any objections?"

The apprentices all agreed, the words and chattering of Darkpaw being the villain cut deep into her heart, but ignored it... she always does.

Darkpaw knew why they picked her as the villain...

FOR HER APPEARANCE...

Darkpaw stood still as the other apprentices got ready to roleplay. The roleplay then started, what the apprentices didn't know was... Darkpaw knew how to be a villain...

Darkpaw targeted Goldenpaw as she was to be the supposed 'Hero.'

Darkpaw started to battle her sister violently, the apprentices started screaming at what was happening in front of them.

Poppypaw ran, Darkpaw's blood red eyes locked onto her, then the dark she-cat started to chase Poppypaw. The other apprentices gathered around Goldenpaw, an apprentice ran to get help.

Ashflower and Tidepaw came running back with the apprentice, they were shocked to see that Goldenpaw was literally TORN APART (just kidding... but it was serious).

Ashflower saw Darkpaw return, when Darkpaw saw the spark of disappointment in the siamese she-cat's eyes, Darkpaw retreated back to the forest. Goldenpaw looked up weakly to see her sister retreat...


...Present...

Goldenshade ran after her sister, "Shade!" She called, Darkshade stopped walking and looked behind her, but it was too late...

Goldenshade crashed into her older sister, which sent Darkshade skidding across the ground. Goldenshade flopped on top of her older sister and giggled, "GOLD, WHAT THE HECK?!" Darkshade rasped, Goldenshade pouted,

"You didn't say bye..." Goldenshade mewed. Darkshade blinked, "Okay fine..." Darkshade grumbled, then pushed her little sister off of herself.
