Darkfinch's Story - Chapter 11

"We tried to get him to return home Cinderstar, but he said that he had chosen the dark forest. We were incorporated into the training exercise and then we were thrown from the world. They were training in a dark underground cave. They seemed to have no mercy, towards invading cats, cats that didn't belong there." said Darkenberry. "Then what happened to Darkpaw, surely the dark forest cats realize that he does't belong in the forest." "That is where you are incorrect!" called Darkpaw, and standing next to him was the smoke cat. "I do belong in the dark forest." said Darkpaw "Out of every litter of 2 kittens one kitten gets chosen to come and train in the dark forest. When they complete their training they are given a power to help the defend their clan mates. I got to choose between Hollypaw and Darkpaw. I chose Darkpaw. He was the kitten that got to train in the dark forest. Then in the dark forest, they had a battle," she said pointing to Darkpaw and Hollypaw. "Darkpaw won which mean't that he got to keep his rank. If Hollypaw had won that mean't she would have gotten to train in the forest." "Then the training, because when they got back they were seriously wounded." questioned Cinderstar. "They were only a part of the training when they refused to leave. I said they could go home and not come back but all 3 of them refused. So I had no choice but have them fight. If they had left on their own accord when I asked them to, then they would have been allowed to leave unharmed but when they didn't the Dark forest had no choice but to have them leave the forest. Even Darkpaw wanted his sister to go unharmed." Suddenly Hollypaw interrupted, "I couldn't leave my brother in a place like that!" "What is that supposed to mean," spat Darkpaw.
