ĤŶŚŤĔŔĨĂ

The forest projects a silent hum of energy. The fingers of the wind, yanking their way through the deciduous trees branches. Leaves were scattered everywhere. You took note of that. After all, you yourself were quite a smart feline; a lost, but smart feline. Your whiskers twitched as you continued to walk along the forest floor that was - of course - littered with falling leaves. A new sound approached your ear canal as you turned a small bushel of bushes. It was a brook bubbling with crystal clear water. A small smile lit up your face and you quickly trotted over to the water supply...

As you bent your head down and started to lap up the water, a sigh of content escaped your lips. You continued to drink as if you haven't drunk for moons, but you drunk the water unaware of who - or what - was watching. In the shadows, sitting at the base of a large birch tree was her. Today, the wind wasn't on your side, clearly. She arose to her four paws and stood high. A small glint flashed in her eyes. You were on Juggernaut's land; her domain. The tank of a tuxedo cat slowly started to make her way over to your smaller form. A smirk formed on her maw. Still unaware you sat down and looked around. The beauty of the forest and fog finally hit you and your now sane mind. After traveling for so long without water it would be expected that you would be dehydrated. As a last gulp of water was going down your throat something shoved you into the brook. You dove head first, summer salted, smashed your hip on a rock and landed in some pebbles, covered in muck. Your reaction time worsened due to the fact that you couldn't get up. There she stood above you, both her massive white paws nailing yours onto the pebbles in the small brook. Juggernaut's signature smirk never left her face, and her eyes were devoid of sympathy for you.

You both stayed in that position for a while, and then a "slow motion" moment came into play. Juggernaut breathed in some air and spoke. You could barely understand her words because her Italian accent was so strong. "Your purpose for being here would be?" That's when it struck you. This feline had to have come from the fricken mob from Italy, but no. This temperamental she-cat was born in SkyClan. With fear glazing your eyes, and a loud heartbeat in your chest you couldn't answer. Hell, you were rendered unable to answer because of her shear size!

What am I going to do? You thought to yourself. Now standing at an crossroad of either: get slaughtered, or join which would be your choice? The black cat didn't let up. Instead she pushed more of her weight onto your paws. A yowl erupted from your vocal chords. A few pebbles had embedded themselves in your supple paw pads. Small streams of red streaked the brook and out of the corner of your eye you saw your own blood flowing through the water. The pain soon numbed. Thirty minutes and she still hadn't said anything. Everything was starting to hurt, your hip, and your paws - you didn't have front paws anymore; the numbness rendered them useless. Finally, in a soft whisper you spoke.

"I.. I can not join." Clearly that was the wrong answer. Juggernaut jumped over to your side; the side with the injured him and kicked you with her back legs. You went tumbling down the stream and couldn't get up. Once you managed to raise yourself slightly her yellow teeth were already sunken into your fur. The world started to spin and you could see transparent cats standing in front of you; StarClan cats. There was more struggling and blood spill by both you and Juggernaut. Of course you wouldn't go down without a fight, but right now you were. In fact, you did. Suddenly you felt your brain stop, then your heart. Nothing worked. Your limbs were useless and the sense of being "out of your body" overwhelmed you. You saw many cats from your old Clan with smiles on their faces. You were in StarClan. They welcomed you and you rushed to their embrace. But, you looked back to your murder. You had never gotten her name, but what you did do was sign your own death warrant.

"Don't those Clan cats teach you not to steal water or food?" Juggernaut snickered. She trotted up stream then proceeded to clean herself off. In her peripheral vision she saw another cat making their way to the stream. The stream were so many felines were killed by Juggernaut. This stream is where her territory started; where ĤŶŚŤĔŔĨĂ started. The feline resumed her position by a large oak; sitting at it's base.

"You're either my next ally, or the cat on my hit list." Juggernaut whispered to herself, "Choose wisely kitty-kat." The massive Italian cat said.
