Ambition

Prologue
A hiss came from a shrub. The white tom looked to his side. Perhaps it was the stream, he though but he knew it couldn't be true.

"Hello?" His call echoed through the eerily dark forest. Nothing replied. The white tom began to pad again. He dashed down the ravine and into a small frozen over stream. Ice cold water splashed on his face and the white tom jumped back bumping right into a ginger and brown tom, who was hiding in the shadows of the ravine.

"Brookwater!" The white tom exclaimed before The ginger and brown tom snarled and pinned the white tom down.

"Wh-why are you doing this?" the white tom choked out as the ginger tom pressed his claws deep into the white tom's neck.

"Your time is over Whitestep," The ginger and brown tom hissed and slide out his long claws into Whitestep's throat.

"You-you will p-pay!" Whitestep managed to mutter before he made a huge choking sound and lay still. The brown and ginger tom got off of Whitestep washed his blood-stained paws in the ice-cold stream, before looking around with his innocent looking grey eyes. He gave Whitestep's body one more look and dashed up the ravine.

Chapter 1
Wolfheart padded up to the Highledge. Lilystar had just called a clan meeting.

"Cats of ThunderClan you have probably already heard that we found Whitestep's body. It was found along the ravine stream."

Gasps of hooror and confusion came from the clan.

"B-but th-that would mean a ThunderClan cat murdered him!" Caveclaw blurted out. Lilystar nodded slowly.

"Or we could have other clan cats sneaking in right through our noses," Lilystar meowed and that seemed to stop the whispering ad muttering for a while.

"My new deputy will be Ravenswoop! I want to search patrols aranged now!" Lilystar mewed and she jumped down the Highledge.

Wolfheart ripped the grass beneathe her with her claws. She wanted to be deputy. She had had one apprentice.

She caught Caveclaw's eye and she knew her sister was thinking the same thing. Her mother Lightsong padded over. Her shining white fur was perfectly groomed. Wolfheart wished she looked like her mother. Her mother was by far the prettiest she-cat in ThunderClan while Wolfheart was stuck with her long black fur and dull brown eyes.

"Your time will come my daughters," Lightsong meowed, her voice tingly and calm. Wolfheart looked behind her to see her sister, Caveclaw.

"Why must I wait so long?" Caveclaw complained her blue eyes flashing in the rising moonlight. Lightsong flicked her tail and padded over to Wolfheart's father, Brookwater.

"Our kits are ambitious," She murmured loud enough for Wolfheart to hear. Brookwater purred. As the moon rose higher in the sky Lightsong looked more like a StarClan cat. Her silver fur practicly glowed and her wide light blue stare was petrifing.
