Chapter 1
The full moon glittered in the starless night sky. The breeze made the trees sway back and forth like they were dancing. A herd of eerie blood red eyes lurked in the darkness. The wolves howled at the dead of night. Shadows scampered about in the bushes. A pale white she-wolf appeared followed by a group of other wolves. Another wolf appeared on top of another hill, but this one had a grey-colored pelt, as more wolves appeared one by one.
"What is your business here in EclipseClan?" The pale white she-wolf barked calmly to the rival pack, who just stepped into their territory.
"We're not the ones who crossed the border into your territory, this is our territory, Karia" the grey wolf snarled.
"No, the hollow tree is EclipseClan territory, Lucifer" Karia growled.
"When we're finished this'll be another part of NightmareClan territory" Lucifer growled. A muscular black NightmareClan wolf fighter snarled and leaped at the nearest wolf without question.
"Get out of our camp!!!" A black wolf with blue eyes from EclipseClan snarled vigorously.
He scratched the black wolf on the backbone as he started to draw blood.
The black wolf returned with a bite on the black fighter's neck as he yowled in agony. The black wolf walked away from the injured wolf.
"Blackice!!!" Karia yowled, watching her deputy getting injured before her.
Karia leaped into impact, clawing Lucifer in the eye causing him to get a small unnoticeable scar on his right eye.
Lucifer came back with a claw, but Karia dodged and jabbed him in the side with another claw, as he fell to the ground in a puddle of blood.
Karia ran towards Blackice. "Blackice, are you alright?!" She whined with worry. "Y-yes I'm fine..." he responded to her with a stuttered bark, as he struggled to his paws.
Lucifer slowly got back up from the ground, as a smirk was plastered on his face. He sped towards Karia in full speed as he pushed her down to the ground. He began to draw blood as he scratched her repeatedly. "Ahhh!" she yowled in agony. "Leave... our Drappa... alone!!!!!!!" Blackice growled as he raced towards Lucifer pushing him off their female alpha. They both rolled down a small slope into a not very deep stream. Blackice and Lucifer fought against each other still in the water.
Blackice scratched and bit Lucifer repeatedly. Karia slowly got back up as she walked towards the edge of the ditch. "Do you yield?" Karia barked questionably to Lucifer. "Yes" he whined as he looked at his Clanmates wearingly, as he saw that they were left severely wounded, but not dead. If he didn't surrender, some could have died. He looked back at Karia with her eyes not filled with fear, as his ears flattened and he whined in defeat. "Now call back your wolves and get out of here!!" Karia growled.
"Everyone, retreat back to Nightmare Clan territory" he sighed as he called back his Clan. The muscular black wolf snarled at them. "You too, Storm" Lucifer barked at him.
They all disappeared into the bushes.
Lucifer stopped in his tracks and growled. "Don't say you've won. We'll be back."
He ran into the bushes to catch up to his Clanmates.
Karia and her Clanmates walked back to camp as Karia and the wounded wolves walked into the healer wolf den. A white she-wolf with crystal blue eyes stared at them with surprise. "What happened?!" the white she-wolf barked with a curious and worried tone.
"We were badly wounded in a battle with NightmareClan, Blueaura" Karia yipped.
"NightmareClan, huh. Come on, you fighters should rest a bit while I go gather some dried herbs" Blueaura replied as she left the den to gather some herbs.
When she returned she carried a bundle of them in her mouth as she began to make a botanical medicine to heal the wounds on the injured wolves' pelts. She cleaned the cuts with cold water from the river that crossed the whole forest through every clan.
"Now you should all rest" Blueaura told them as soon as she finished with the treatment.
The next morning, all the wounded fighters, including Karia were all treated from their injuries.
"Just be careful, your wounds have not fully healed yet" Blueaura warned them.
"Don't worry, Blueaura, we'll be extra careful" Karia promised. They walked out of the den.
**********************************************************************************
Three little pups were playing with a dead black Willow spider nearby. "Hey Bone, fetch" a brown wolfpup barked throwing the spider to a white wolf. Bone caught it with his mouth and threw it back to a brown wolfpup. The brown wolfpup caught it and threw it to a black and white she-wolfpup and she caught it.
"Great catch Moonlight" the brown wolfpup barked in encouragment . "Thanks Dasher" Moonlight barked back. "Your welcome, Moonlight" he barked.
"Come on let's keep playing" Bone yipped. "Ok" the other two wolfpups howled.
An old dark brown wolf approached the pups as they turned around to see him. "Huh... Rufus" they howled with excitement. "Greetings young pups, come we're needed for a meeting at the den" the elder wolf yowled to them.
"Yes sir" they yipped as they walked to the alpha den.
************************************************************************
Rufus led the pups to the den as they squeezed through all the large wolves and she-wolves to see their leader. "Greetings everyone, I called this meeting to tell everyone that NightmareClan was in our territory but our fighters managed to get them out" Karia barked, "I also want to announce that Bellatrix and her mate Ryka are expecting pups." A lightbrown she-wolf with crystal blue eyes and a lightbrown wolf with one blue eye and one yellow eye with a torn right ear stepped foreward.
"I hope you give birth to a very healthy litter" Karia barked softly to them. "Thanks, Karia" Bellatrix barked back happily. "I also want everyone to meet three Trainees who have earned their fighter names. Cloud and Shadow please step forward" Karia howled joyfully. A young white she-wolf and a young black wolf stepped foreward and looked at Karia with confidence.
"Cloud, I give you the fighter name Cloudfall" Karia barked. "Cloudfall... Cloudfall" the crowd barked out the name. "Shadow, I give you the fighter name Shadowfog" Karia yowled with pride. "Shadwfog... Shadowfog" the crowd cheered.
"I am very proud of you both. You'll both be great fighters" Karia barked. "The meeting is over. You are all free to go." The wolves all left the alpha den. Karia caught the scent of something in the forest. "Karia!!" A grey wolf with hazel eyes ran towards her and gasped for air. "Whitestorm?! Is something wrong?" Karia barked curiously. "T-there's dogs in the forest and t-they're with settlers" Whitestorm howled with warning. "Man" Karia growled, but the growl turned into a whine of fear. "Call the pack. We need to warn everyone that danger is close and tell them to get ready to defend themselves!!" Whitestorm nodded in understanding and went to warn the pack about the intruders.
