Chapter 5
"You're supposed to be dead!" the ginger she-cat yowled. The cat that formed from the dark ball bared its teeth in a menacing way. It padded over to Redfur's former friend, Shadoweyes, and sat at the dead she-cat's flank.
Redfur's pelt bristled as she watched this traitorous cat unsheathed its claws and point one claw at Shadoweyes. She watched the mischievous cat rake a claw down Shadoweyes's side. That was all it took for Redfur to react.
Redfur hissed and tackled her former enemy to the hard, stone ground. She didn't know how Darkheart came back from the dead, but something clicked in her mind: The Dark Forest. As she was distracted by thinking of the Dark Forest's ability to come to the Clan's living world, she was clawed under her right eye by her nemesis.
Darkheart's claws left a scar on Redfur's face, next to her eye. This scar would forever remain to remind Redfur of something Silverfur always told Darkheart: "Keep your friends close; your enemies closer."
Darkheart lived by these words when she commanded Misteyes to kill Redfur, resulting in Bluepelt dying, taking over Redfur's body and causing her to use flames to kill Shadoweyes, and blowing wind using Bluepelt's ability to cause Blackheart to die from the cold in IceClan.
Redfur struggled to get away from Darkheart, but the black she-cat with yellow eyes quickly dashed in front of her path.
This is it. This is where I die. In StormClan, next to Shadoweyes. And I killed her unknowingly. Redfur thought as she was pinned down on the stone ground, a claw hovering above her neck, ready to cut the life out of her.
"Oh, what a sweet little cat, surrendering to me to finally die with your friends," Darkheart taunted, "No cat can come help you. Oakpelt has already killed Gingerheart and Thunderstrike, along with Graywater. Ottertail, Leopardheart, and Nightfur were killed by yours truly. Last, but not least, Coldspirit was accused of killing Blackheart and was exiled to the mountains, where some DarkClan cats killed both Icetail and him because they were looking for revenge. So you're all alone."
Redfur's eyes went wide, then closed tightly as she waited for her death. She could hear paws padding closer and heard meowing.
"Finally, the traitor shall die!" Oakpelt meowed with satisfaction. Silverfur mewed, "This piece of fox-dung deserves her death! Go on, Darkheart!"
Darkheart put her claw closer to Redfur's throat until Redfur could feel the tip of her claw on her neck. She felt a sharp pain in her throat sliding over to the side. Redfur couldn't breathe. Just like Bluepelt, Redfur thought as she suffered until she only saw darkness.

What seemed like a moon happened only in a heartbeat. Redfur opened her eyes to see Bluepelt standing in front of her. The ginger she-cat glanced at herself. She was almost hidden from view, stars in her ginger pelt. Redfur glanced at her dead body. Darkheart was glaring at Bluepelt in anger. When she saw Redfur, she turned tail and flee from the scene along with her parents.
Bluepelt nuzzled Redfur and meowed, "I've been waiting for you in StarClan." Redfur purred and licked Bluepelt's nose.
The two she-cats appeared in StarClan suddenly. It was beautiful with so much prey running around in the dense forest. Redfur couldn't help racing past Bluepelt to explore.

What was in store for Darkheart is to be said in the Super Edition: Darkheart's Demise.
