No Grave

Prologue

The trees swayed with a slight rhythms gently letting there leaves fall. The leave raced each other to get to the forest floor unaware of the battle raging under them. Four mighty clans had joined as one to battle the feared Bloodclan. Their leader has show how deadly he can be, taking all nine lives from the Shadowclan leader Tigerstar in a signal blow.
Now it was time for the youngest of clan leaders to lead his fellow cats against a ruthless enemy.
The clan collided with a flurry of clans and fangs. Cats fighting for there homes, there families even there very lives battled cats hungry for power and bloodshed. The young clan leader was put to the test after witnessing the death of his deputy and friend Whitestorm at the claws of brutish cat named bone. He could sense his clan wavering as the shear ferocity seemed to overwhelm the forest cats. Then he say him the tiny apprentice sized cat that had killed the mighty Tigerstar not a far away. It was time for them to battle and one of them wouldn't live to see tomorrow.
The two leaders clash, their claws shining with the blood of their enemies. One was the leaving embodiment of his clans hope and dreams of survival was the other was a being who's veins where as cold as ice.
Time seemed to slow down as cats from each clan battled. Much blood was shed and many cats lost there lives that day. Yet at the end of it all it would be worth it.

Peace in the forest could come at last, Tigerstar was gone , his battle with Firestar would have to wait. the leader of Rogue cats who called them selves Blood Clan laid slain under the paws of Ginger cat who's pelt burned with the heat of fire.
The Thunderclan leader had, with the expense of one life, ended the rein of terror that was Scourge . In a way the ginger tom had avenged his foes death as well. Peace could hopefully fall over the forest now that both Tigerstar and Scourge where gone, though there was the a looming possibility of future conflict with Shadow clans new leader Blackfoot soon to be Blackstar, those where problems for the time to come. The clan cats began to leave each clan collecting there fallen so they can mourn in there own ways.
All that was left was the fallen of the once feared Bloodclan. The small black tom laid alone, his throat has been slashed open and his life drained out of his body as the last leaf of the day hit the ground. Night fell over the forest and with it came its silver pelt full of stars. Soon the cats from the now broken Bloodclan crept into the forest to retrieve there leaders body.  They gently carry his body back to the Twoleg place and rest his body down where all of his clan could mourn for him.  
With his Death the role of leader had came into question for the Bloodclan cats. Quickly two cat,brothers going by the names of Ice and snake stepped up. Together they began to rebuild Bloodclan and began to plot revenge on the clan cats. And strangely as they took control the body of scourge went missing. There where many theories regarding what happened to the body. Some believed a dog took him, other believes ice and snake hide him to boost there own status in the clan , while others believed and feared their old leader had came back from the dead.
Meanwhile amongst the rogues a grey and white marbled she cat named Ghost began her gathering her own followers, not in an attempt to leave or take over Bloodclan but for another reason. She wasn't much of a fighter and was one of the lower ranking cats of the clan but she made up for her lack of strength with her brilliance.She convinced them to join her with the claim of a better future for all.  One night on a full moon She took small gathering of cats to an old and abandoned twoleg nest. The floor had been torn out and the raw soil underneath was exposed. There was a hole in the ceiling that let the moon light shine through and rest upon a small mound of dirt. There her cats formed a circle around the  mound dirt as ghost set upon the ledge of a broken window. She looked down on her nine followers, digging her claws slightly into the wood.  She looked up at the moon before taking a deep breath and starting.

" Cats of Bloodclan I've gathered you here with the hopes of a better future . Although I can not promise you so, I am simply here to guid us all."

A young tom spoke up
" how will you do that?"

Ghost smiled licking her paw and glided t over her ears.

"I'm so glad you asked" her tail twitched abit as she continued
" you all know me I may not be the strongest in the clan but I make up for it in brains. Now when we first met the forest cats scourge killed one of them named Tigerstar. I could hear the other forest cats as they panic at the site. Amongst the yowling I hear one of them say something very interesting."
She leans in
"this cat stayed that Scourge ' took his lives, all nine in a signal blow' now during our second battle Scourge fought a cat named Firestar and slit his threat. My best guess is that the cats with their name ending with Star are the leaders of the clans"
Her cats nodded
" as the battle raged on this ginger tom got back up and ended out beloved leaders life. Now I have a theory that scourge took one life from this cat instead of all nine, and it seems only a truest gruesome injury can take all nine live. Here's how all of this ties into my plan for a better future."
Her followers leaned in waiting in anticipation for her conclusion.  She jumped down and gently set her paw on the mound of dirt
" Here lies our former leader Scourge struck down by the clan can known at Firestar."
They look down at the mound slightly doubting scourge was buried in front of them as she continued.
"In the battle firestar died and came back to life. Well if those filthy clan cats can avoid death then so can we."
The cats backed up looking skeptical, many even began to leave. Before they could exist through the opening in the wall she jumped infront of them.
" please ..please ...just hear me out if you still are skeptical in the end then you can leave and even tell Ice and snake if you feel they are the proper leaders for Bloodclan."
She said the last statement as if to shed doubt on there loyalty to Scourge
Some cat hung there heads as they set back down so she could continue.
" my clam mates I have discovered a meticulous place. A place where our beloved leader is waiting for us."
The cats look amongst themselves as one asked.
" what kind of place?"
Ghost grins excited to explain herself.
" A place we go to when we pass on.... the beyond"
They blink nodding , some now fully devoting their attention to her.
" I have traveled there in my dreams and have spoken to Scourge"
She continued.
" he has told me how to bring him back us but before I tell you I need your word that no matter what you will stay loyal and devoted to our cause."
The cats looked amongst themselves waiting to see who was going to be the first to step up. Soon the first brace cat stepped up, a black and grey tabby tom stepped up.
" if there is a chance of bringing Scourge back then I Saber here by pledge my life and loyalty to the course"
He bows his head as the other cats soon take the same pledge. Ghost purred slightly as looked at the nine bowed head in front of her. She now knew that these cats had just proven there true loyalty to Scourge, all in the hopes of being the merciless feline back from the beyond.
" Get ready forest cats"
She whispered to her self , her smile stretching from ear to ear now.
" you have no idea what's coming "
A cloud rolled into place , cladding over the moon and blocking its gentle light from shining on Scourges grave. But now the only light visible in the old nest, was the burning red eye off Ghost glowing with the unknown power that was in the beyond.
