A dark gray tom was pacing around a forest with no light. Suddenly, another tom pounced on him, his teeth bared. "You failed!" the newcomer growled.

"Yes I did," the another tom mewed angrily. "I would have succeeded if StarClan didn't help them."

"So," the tom, that is dark brown, mewed silkily. "How many lives did you take from that leader?"

The dark gray tom bowed his head. "One," he replied as the dark brown tom's eyes flared with rage.

"One?" he snarled. "Didn't I teach you the move that takes all nine lives of a leader?" He clawed the dark gray tom as he spoke, and the tom flinched away from him.

"I would have killed you if you weren't my kin!" his yowl chased away any onlookers and could have shook the dead trees.

"You tried to hide from me," he continued, glaring at him. "For about three moons! But I found you. I always do."

"I wasn't hiding from you," the another tom mewed quietly. "I was hiding from the others."

The dark brown tom began pacing. "I gave you powers. I made you a true leader, better than the foolish clans ever known. Yet, you failed."

When he stopped pacing, he smirked. "Why don't I show you? Show you how I take all the lives of a leader! You were just lucky last time."

The dark brown tom sped off and the dark gray tom followed, narrowing his eyes.

"Is that the ThunderClan leader?" the dark gray tom asked. The other tom's eyes gleamed with hunger as he mewed, "Watch carefully."

"... shouldn't go out alone, Brownstar," a reddish brown she-cat was saying to the brown striped leader.

"That's right," the dark brown tom purred, unsheathing his long claws. "Better warn the clan, medicine cat."

The medicine cat widened her eyes with fear and quickly ran off. He grinned at Brownstar and growled, "Time for your pitiful rule to end!"

He pounced onto the ThunderClan leader and unbalanced him. Brownstar tried to swipe at him but he dodged swiftly.

"Now, this is how I kill a leader with seven lives!" he snarled. The dark brown tom ripped the belly of the ThunderClan leader, blood pouring out of the wound.

He stepped back and watched eagerly. Brownstar didn't even get up. The dark gray tom only watched with surprise as all the lives slowly flowed out of the leader.

"Time to get back," the dark brown tom laughed. "To plan for the greatest revenge of all." He turned in another direction and disappeared with the dark gray tom.

"Frostleaf! Frostleaf!" Stagwind yowled urgently. The light gray and white she-cat stood up immediately and asked, "What's wrong? Where is Brownstar?"

"Brownstar is getting attacked!" she replied with fear.

"Lead me to him!" she ordered. Stagwind quickly took off, and Frostleaf ran with her towards the forest.

When they arrived, it was obvious that it was too late. The deputy and the medicine cat could only watch in shock as their leader motionless, his blood staining the ground.

Finally, Frostleaf found her voice to speak but it was full of grief and horror.

"Brownstar is dead."
