The Dark Forest

NOTE: You don't have to ask to join, but you do have to ask to claim cats! Also, the canon series is disregarded 99% of the time.
You enter a dark, shadowy forest filled with dark, gray trees. The air is thick, foggy, and damp, with a noticeable chill to it. The sky above you is black and starless, although you can't see it through the trees. A river is nearby, sluggish, dark, and lifeless like the rest of this place, and free of any means of crossing it. Around it is thick, sticky mud.

Somewhere in the distance is an eerie white light--the border with StarClan. There is thin grass leading up to the border, where it then disappears; the air as you approach the border gets thicker and thicker, making it harder and harder to breathe and see. If you've ended up here, you're most likely trapped for your existence...

RPG;
Sunstrike shifted uneasily as Tigerstar and Brokenstar called a meeting to plot for the next attack on the Clans and determining which one will fall next. She didn't want to be here, but she was one of the more active trainees in the Dark Forest during her life, so she was dragged against her will into here when she died along with her mate, Furzepelt. Is there any way to escape? she thought, looking over at the gray and white she-cat, then at their tortoiseshell and white daughter, Mineralkit. Welcome to  Hell!

Streampelt was dead and she woke up. "Am I in the Dark Forest?" She asked to no one, but her.

Brokenstar climbed the stack of logs and looked around, nostrils flaring. Everyone was here-No, almost everyone. "Kuroha! Puffedpaw! Frostpelt!" He bellowed, scowling. His own apprentice was LATE. Brokenstar shook out his pelt. I'm sure Kuroha has a good excuse. Brokenstar thought, lashing his crooked tail. --It's Holly, Bae 11:09, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

Streampelt followed a path leading to the cats. She saw a few cats out in the distance. She kept quite low the the ground hoping no one will she her. --Why do I try

Darkstripe slinked around the edge of the woodpile and climbed up a little. Brokenstar whirled around, narrowing his eyes. But all he said was, "Leaders only." Then, he lashed out, sending Darkstripe flying. He landed hard and skidded out of the clearing. --It's Holly, Bae 10:40, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Streampelt moved quick, then she noticed a lot of cats. She stopped and stood watching, but stepped on a twig making a very loud crack. --Whitesong (talk) 14:37, September 23, 2014 (UTC)Whitesong

A battle-scarred tom, on the outskirts of the cluster, turned around, his burning amber eyes raking the surrounding woods. He walked slowly until he was very close to Streampelt, but did not see her. "Come out, come out, little cat." He meowed in a singsong voice. --It's Holly, Bae 19:23, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Streampelt came out nervously. --Whitesong (talk) 19:54, September 23, 2014 (UTC)Whitesong

The tom, Clawface, smirked cruelly when he saw her. "Well, well. A newbie." He slunk closer, his intense eyes scrutinizing her. "I'd hate to interrupt the meeting," he drawled, walking in slow circles around her. "but Brokenstar will be VERY interested to hear about this." He reached for her, thorn-sharp claws outstretched. --It's Holly, Bae 21:12, September 23, 2014 (UTC)

Streampelt swiftly moved away and had her claws out. "I am one of you. And are you missing any cats." She said darkly.

Hawkfrost had left when Brokenstar called for the missing cats, returning with Puffedpaw, blue eyes glazed over slightly.

Frostpelt quietly shifted into the group, head down. She really didn't want to be here right now.

Kuroha rushed in, panting. "My apologies, sir," he breathed. "Got a bit caught up in an incident with the Mekakushi Dan again." Under his breath, he muttered, "Stupid brothers." He then noticed Streampelt. "Who's the newbie?" he asked, a hiss at the edge of his voice. Welcome to  Hell!  Starring Sock, Jonathan, and  Mephistopheles 00:10, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Streampelt saw Kuroha look at her and gave him a death glare. --Whitesong (talk) 00:16, September 24, 2014 (UTC)Whitesong

Clawface shoved her forward. "I found her hiding in the bushes." He sneered.

Brokenstar's eyes scanned the crowd, stopping on Kuroha and giving his apprentice a slight nod, as if to say, 'you're excused.' and rested his pale eyes on Streampelt, curling his lip. He looked to Tigerstar beside him.

--It's Holly, Bae 00:22, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

"Don't Brokenstar. I am one of you." Streampelt said ready to fight if she needed to.

Brokenstar looked fairly amused. "Please. You aren't our enemy. Obviously you are a great enough warrior to be here.

Sirencloud stepped forward. "We are all friends here, hon." She purred, using her siren powers a little. --It's Holly, Bae 00:30, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Am I welcome or not, and I think I saw the cats you were looking for earlier.", she said darkly. --Whitesong (talk) 00:39, September 24, 2014 (UTC)Whitesong

Brokenstar narrowed his eyes. "What is your name, she-cat?" --It's Holly, Bae 00:36, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

"Streampelt, sir." She said darkly. --Whitesong (talk) 00:39, September 24, 2014 (UTC)Whitesong

"Noted." He rumbled simply. He turned back to the meeting. "I have a plan. A plan for the mortals below. You see, we are not believed in enough. We are underestimated. Yet we are also strong, brave...and endless. The cats that join us, that train here tonight, they will get what they want. Power, love, revenge? We can make it happen. And soon, we will be the most feared clan in history!" --It's Holly, Bae 00:47, September 24, 2014 (UTC)

Streampelt nodded. She sat in the crowd. --Whitesong (talk) 00:51, September 24, 2014 (UTC)Whitesong

Echolight padded through the musky forest cautiously, Deerheart by her side. "Ugh, I can barely see in this fog. I might be missing some handsome tom right in front of us!" She said jokingly, glancing at her companion for a reaction. He rolled his eyes and grumbled, annoyed. Shuckle Nothing Bad Ever Happened in Utah! 00:39, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Tigerstar began, "StarClan has another prophecy set to keep the Clans from our grasp. However, we have one of them in our grasp. Anakin, my apprentice, rise!"

"Yes, my Master." The golden-brown tabby stood up and faced the leaders, his eyes glazed and beginning to turn yellow.

"Anakin won't be the only one that we'll get," continued the dark brown tabby, his pale amber eyes scanning the crowd of cats in front of him, as Anakin sat back down. "He is simply the first." Welcome to  Hell!  Starring Sock, Jonathan, and  Mephistopheles 00:56, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Antpelt and Breezepelt sat side by side in the crowd, looking at Anakin and then back to Tigerstar. "I wonder who else we'll recruit." Antpelt whispered to Breezepelt.

"I could care less, as long as they can fight." Breezepelt quietly snorted back. Shuckle Nothing Bad Ever Happened in Utah! 00:59, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Brokenstar grinned. "With this prophecy cat in our midst, we can succeed in destroying the 'prophecy' from within. Besides, I have my eyes on another cat. She would be willing to join us." Brokenstar shook out his fur. --It's Holly, Bae 01:49, September 25, 2014 (UTC)

Streampelt knew who he was talking about. He was probably talking about her. --Whitesong (talk) 03:00, September 25, 2014 (UTC)Whitesong

Deerheart pricked his ears, hearing the meeting going on. Gesturing towards Echolight with his tail, the two looked on from the bushes. Shuckle Nothing Bad Ever Happened in Utah! 22:44, September 25, 2014 (UTC)
