On the darkest night, you may see a shadow flicker through the bushes towards you. A demon? An angel? No. Amethyststar. She pads forward on four average-sized paws, not too small, not too large. They are strong and graceful, with no look of delicacy about them. Each toe is seperated by a bridge of bristling fur. These paws are seasined fighters, and each hides a set of long, curved silver claws. These have served Amethyststar every time she has needed them in her long life. Amethyststar's legs are not long, but neither are they too short. They are just the right length for a sturdy strength which is her skill, rather than over-agility. Amethyststar's shoulders are muscular and strong, helping to quickly manouvere her body in the heat of battle. Her tail is a long whip, merciless as the rest of her being. Amethyststar's muzzle is slightly longer than that of the average cat, adding an elemt of sly cunning to her look. Her eyes are narrow almond-shapes, outlined in thick ebony. The pools within are the deep amber of flame - just the same as her father's.

Amethyststar's fur is short but thick and soft. It has a slightly fluffy look to it that does not seem to fit easily with her sharp framw. Her fur is longest on her sides, where it becomes very thick and dense. Amethyststar's fur is one simple colour - black. But not just any black. It is the black of the starless winter sky, the black of DeathClan's core, the black of a bat's wing. This colour spreads uninterrupted over every pore of Amethyststar's body, marking her out in darkness.

and i look around around
and sometimes i get sad
cos my life is spinning out of control

Careful what you say. Just you be careful what you do. Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, Amethyststar is warching you. She was born sly, a highly intelligent she-cat who know's exactly what to do to get exactly what she want's. She is not greedy or callous, but has a sharp tongue that can scar cat's for life. Somewhere beneath the coating of cold ice and stone, Amethyststar has a heart as warm as the fire of her eyes. This heart beats with love for a select few cats - her family and her clan. Amethyststar is very fair, but has little patience for cowardice. She is a wicked fighter, quick with her teeth and claws as she is with her tongue. She is very stubborn, a trait caught from her mother. She rarely admits defeat, though once thoroughly proved wrong she will usually relent. Amethyststar finds it easier to make friends than enemies, so watch your back. Friend's of Amethyststar are protected and cherished - enemies, despised and hunted. Beware.

i never know what you want
i never know what you need
it was different from the start
when you cut me in two
i never thought i would bleed

Shadestar's heart was a wanderer. Razorstar was the same. They seemed to fit like the pieces of a puzzle, and fell into place. And so, the long, twisted tale begins. Shadestar kept her mate a secret for many moons - if her clan, EclipseClan, knew that she wasi in love with the leader of their loathed enemies, MoonClan, she would be despised. Shadestar found it hard to conceal the signs of her expecting. Her stomach swelled and she could no longer lead her clan in a dignified manner. So she hid in her den, feigning sickness to her deputy, Featherflight, and the whole of EclipseClan. When she felt the kits coming, Amethyststar ran to MoonClan territory, seeking Razorstar. She gave birth to six kits with her mate at her side - Amerhystkit, Gracekit, Harmonykit, Ebonykit, Ravenkit and Riverkit. Riverkit was not strong, and passed away quickly. Shadestar took her kits back to EclipseClan, and finally revealed her secret.

Shadestar was hated by her own clan for many moons, though eventually they relented. Amethystkit was not like her siblings, all of whom were different; Ravenkit distant, Ebonykit brave, Amethystkit boastful and Harmonykit and Gracekit joined at the hip. Amethystkit preferred to make her own friends rather than hang around with her siblings. On her sixth moon she was given to a warrior named Rainfur to mentor.

Amethystpaw was a trying apprentice, forever challenging her mentor's motives and demanding training sessions. Despite this, she was skilled, though not particularly modest about this. Amethystpaw's brother, Ravenpaw, was killed on his ninth moon. Amethystpaw did not mind terribly - she hadn't know him very well. After driving Secretcalling, the forbidden mate of her fellow EclipseClanner, Limestone, from their territory, Amethystpaw was made a warrior. She became Amethystpool, and her siblings Ebonysky, Harmonyheart and Gracestep.

Gradually the siblings dospersed. Harmonyheart and Gracestep vanished together, and were assumed dead. Ebonysky was tragically killed by a fox, after his mate Jinxdancer gave birth to their four kits. Amethystpool was the only one left - that was, until Shadestar came home with two more kits. She claimed she had found them at the edge of EclipseClan territory, but Amethystpool guessed that they were her brother and sister. She was furious at her mother, and hate grew betweem the two she-cat's.

But Amethystpool had kit troubles of her own. She and her kithood friend, Glasshawk, were expecting kits together. She gave birth to four - Colourkit, Scrawlkit, Razorkit and Cloakedkit. Colourkit and Cloakedkit tragically died from Greencough on only their second moon. Amethystpool was livid when, because of this, her mother's kits Spicekit and Sugarkit were given to her to nurse.

After Scrawlpaw, Razorpaw, Spicepaw and Sugarpaw were apprenticed, Amethystpool was free from her nursery duties. She took a walk alone, only to be attacked by a lone badger. She would have died, had Glasshawk not found her. Her brave mate was killed defending her, and Amethystpool stayed with him until StarClan claimed him. Amethystpool was wracked with pain and guilt. Only a few days later, Sugarpaw was discovered dead, killed by the very same beast. Scrawlpaw, Razorpaw and Spicepaw drove away the creature, hungry for revenge. Afterward they were given the warrior name's Scrawltale, Razortomb ans Spicetalon.

Moons passed in peace. But then something tragic happened, something that erased everything EclipseClan had ever believed in. Shadestar took her own life. Abruptly. Suddenly. Her last message was that Amethystpool was to be her sucessor. Amethystpool and Spicetalon, her two living children, mourned their mother with the rest of the clan. Afterward, Amethystpool became Amethyststar, leader of EclipseClan.

But that was not the end of the story - no. Amethyststar, in her greif and termoil, fell in love with a seductive MoonClan tom, Atroxfire. Before they had had a chance to get to know eachother, Amethyststar was expecting his kits. She cursed her fololishness, and fell into self-hate and depression. When her two kits were born, she felt nothing for them. Se;enekit she gave up to MoonClan, though Atroxfre was long-dead, killed by a fox, and Corbynkit she kept for herself, little knowing that she had chosen to keep a monster.

Cprbynkit grew, passing through his apprentice life quickly, hateful and angry. Corbynpaw became Corbynfeather, and then Amethyststar's story was cut short. Much too short. She met death at the claws of her own son.

But is the story over? Far from it.
