The Rise of BloodClan

Chapter 1

Swift's claws clicked on the frozen ground as he padded to ThunderClan's border quietly. He had two of his most trusted warriors beside him, Storm and Snake. Their goal was to attack ThunderClan and kill some of it's warriors. Maybe even steal a kit. Swift flicked his tail towards a bush and darted towards it. He could smell the scent of ThunderClan. He led his small patrol closer to the camp, following his nose. The reason he had brought a small patrol was because it would be easier to get out of the camp when they had to. And they were all highly trained warriors, excellent at fighting. That was BloodClan's specialty, after all. They were just outside of the camp wall now. Suddenly, a silver and white tabby she cat emerged from the tunnel. Swift ducked down low and his patrol did the same. They all blended in perfectly with the night. The she cat sniffed the air and didn't notice them, as the air was blowing towards them thankfully. Swift crept a bit closer and began to think of his father. This was the Clan that had killed him, their old leader, Firestar. Rage crept slowly through Swift until his claws were sank deep into the ground. He would get his revenge for sure. He whispered his plan to his Clanmates and they smirked. Then, he leapt at the she cat. She had no time to yowl a warning as Swift placed a paw over her mouth. Her dark blue eyes were wide as she recognized him. She tried to push him away, but he was way stronger than her. He leaned close and whispered into her ear. "Tell your father I'm gonna kill his Clan and get revenge." He hissed. She glared at Swift and unsheathed her claws. He glared back. Snake and Storm were watching, ready to pounce if she made any moves. Suddenly, the she cat lunged for his throat quickly. Swift yowled in surprise as she flung him away. She scrambled to her feet, but Storm was already after her. Storm grabbed her by her tail and pulled her back. Then, she lashed out at her hind leg and sliced her claws through it. Swift leapt up and pinned the she cat again. "So, you thought you could escape, huh?" He growled as he sank his claws into her chest. The she cat glared up at him. He smirked down at her. Then, he lashed out at her quickly. His claws hit deep into her throat and she struggled to get air. Swift watched as spasms rippled through her body. It was all over with in a matter of seconds. Swift looked at his Clanmates. He flicked his ears at the entrance and whispered, "Let's go." He led the way into the camp and didn't even hesitate to be quiet. By the time he was in the camp, everyone was staring with their teeth bared. He looked around for their leader, Bramblestar. Bramblestar was Tigerstar's son, the one he had killed. He caught Bramblestar's eye. He was up on the HighRock with his mate, Squirrelflight. "Well, well, well." Swift said as he padded through the camp towards Bramblestar. Bramblestar rose to his full height and glared down at Swift. Swift hesitated and glared around at the cats threatening to swarm him at any moment. He bared his teeth at them and turned his attention back to Bramblestar. He looked his opponent up and down. His muscles rippled beneath his glossy fur. His amber eyes looked down on me and his claws gleamed in the moonlight. "What are you doing here, Swift? This is not your territory." Bramblestar asked calmly. Swift bared his teeth. "Do you really think I care, Bramblestar? I'm here for revenge!" He snarled at the dark brown tom. Bramblestar perked his ears up. Swift padded forward and glared at a golden tom preparing to pounce at him. Swift was just below the HighRock. Bunching his muscles, he sprang up beside his opponent. He signaled to his Clanmates to stay below. Bramblestar glared at Swift. "What makes you think you have the right to be up here? You're not a leader." He hissed, his eyes flashing angrily. Those words cut deep into Swift. He WAS a leader. "I'm more of a leader than you'll ever be. Half-Clan traitor. You're a sorry excuse for a cat, flea-pelt." Swift snapped back. Bramblestar stepped forward until he was right in Swift's face. "Look, Swift. I don't know who you think you are, but you sure aren't coming in here to disrespect me like that." Bramblestar growled. Swift glared at Bramblestar and looked at his neck. Then, he sprang, but not for his neck. Bramblestar yowled as Swift knocked his paws out from under him. Swift watched as Bramblestar slid over the edge of the HighRock and fell to the ground. "Bramblestar!" Squirrelflight yowled. She turned her flashing green gaze on him and pounced. Swift easily dodged and raked his claws across her side as she passed him. She turned to glare at him and finally decided better. She snorted and leapt off the HighRock. She sniffed at her mate and glared up at Swift. "He's losing a life!" She hissed. The Clan stared up at Swift, rage and hatred in their eyes. Swift jumped of the HighRock gracefully and glanced at his opponent's lifeless body. He flicked his tail at Snake and Storm. He turned and whispered to them. "The nursery is right by the entrance. When we walk past, go in there quickly. I'll fight off the warriors, Storm will get the kit, and Snake will fight off the queens. Let's go." Swift waved his tail towards the entrance and led the way over. Then, he glanced at the nursery. "Now!" He hissed and Storm darted into the dark den. Snake followed her and Swift stood outside of the entrance. He glared at the oncoming wave of cats and hoped he could fight them off. The first to attack him was the same golden tom that had been watching him earlier. Swift was surprised by his strength as he was knocked of his paws. He quickly recovered and sank his teeth into his paw. The golden tom yowled and pulled his paw away. Swift kicked at a long-haired white tom that tried to get past him. Then, he heaved upwards and shoved the golden tom away. Swift hissed at a golden brown tabby tom that tried to slip past. The tom growled back and hurled himself at Swift. Swift ducked down and jumped up at the right moment so that his head slammed into the tom's belly and sent him flying. As he was distracted, two cats had managed to sneak past. One was a dark brown tabby tom and the other was a dark cream she cat. Swift let out a yowl and snatched at the tom's tail. He grabbed it between his teeth and pulled him away from the entrance. The tabby tom whirled around and lashed out at him, his claws slicing easily through Swift's nose. Swift leapt at the she cat and caught a glimpse of Snake fighting a cream she cat. Just as Swift pulled the dark cream she cat away, Storm darted out of the den. Swift spotted a small bundle of fur in her jaws. Two of the toms raced after her. It was the same dark brown tabby and golden brown tom he had fought earlier. Snake raced out afterwards and Swift heard one of the she cat's yowl "No!" Swift sprang after his fleeing Clanmates and caught up to them. He found them near a small running stream. The dark brown tabby turned and glared at him. "You! You killed Ivypool! I can smell her scent all over your fur! And now you've stolen one of our kit's! You won't get away with it!" The tom yowled angrily. Then, he hurled himself at Swift. Swift spotted the golden brown tom creeping towards the kit. "Lilykit! Come here!" He was whispering to her. Swift dodged the tabby tom and raced over to the kit. He turned and hissed at the golden brown tom. He stepped back and glared at Swift. Snake stepped forward with a small cut on his ear and a gash on his side. "I got this, Swift. Just kill that other one." He snarled at the golden brown tom. Swift nodded and turned back to the tabby tom. The tabby tom leapt at him again, this time landing a blow on his shoulder. Swift snorted and shook the pain away. "My turn." He whispered. He leapt at the tabby tom, aiming for his shoulder. The tabby tom dodged so that Swift landed right where he was. Swift turned quickly to face the tabby tom and lashed out. The dark brown tabby tried to jump aside, but was too slow. Swift's claws sliced right through his chest. The dark brown tabby tom fell to the ground as spasms passed through his body. The golden brown tom stopped fighting Snake and looked over. His eyes widened in terror when he saw his Clanmate's limp body. Swift licked the blood from his claws and smirked. Snake stepped back and let the golden brown tom go. The golden brown tom looked from his Clanmate's lifeless body to Swift and then to the kit they had stolen. Then, he raced away towards the camp. Swift sneered and looked at the kit. "I had to kill the queen." Snake told Swift. He nodded and stared at the kit, whose eyes were filled with horror. The little tortoiseshell and white kit hid behind Storm. Swift flicked his tail and led the way home, turning away from the kit and bounding towards their camp. Storm picked up the kit and followed. They had gotten some revenge tonight But only some...they were nowhere near done.
