OOC: Fine, 48 hours XD even I aren't on at least once every 28 hours!!! Or I guess, lets juts say if you are SUPER unactive you die... Like I mean WEEKS. Well lets get this thing started...
IC: Dawnstar sat down on highrock. It was midnight. The deathlympics started tomorrow morning. "ShatteredClan cats, as we all know, the deathlympics are bright and early tomorrow morning!" She howled. Cats joined underneath the high rock. "Here are this year's contestants: Sorrelkit, Shade (or is it Shadow?!), Icepaw, Shykit, Glowpaw, Lilykit and (INSERT 14 random names of cats HERE)!!!" Dawnstar howled. "Cats in the deathlympics, follow me!" She yowled against the pushing wind. Memories flooded through Dawnstar's head. She remembered huddling against the wind on a night like this. The day after being apprenticed. Dawnstar remembered doing what she did that one night... Maybe that one memory would... Change her...

44 moons in the past...

Dawnkit glanced up at the high rock. "I have two announcements to make." The leader, Shallowstar, meowed. "Dawnkit and Featherkit, step forwards." Dawnkit glanced at her sister. The day had come. They were both confident, sweet young kits. Dawnkit was excited. She would be an apprentice!!! Dawnkit stepped forward. As soon as her ceremony was done, Shallowstar had an announcement. "Some of our young warriors will participate in this Deathlympics, also. Dawnpaw, Featherpaw, Narrowpaw, Shadowkit, Micekit, Shaketail and Needlenose. It begins tomorrow morning." Shallowstar had meowed. After that, something snapped inside Dawnpaw. Instead of crying like her sister, she changed her attitude. The next morning was her big day.
That morning, Dawnpaw got up early. She was sent to the fighting territory. Dawnpaw had no training at all, it just began like that. All the cats started within a large circle. Dawnpaw heard a loud shriek eventually, and ran for her life. She saw Micekit being tackled by Shaketail. Dawnpaw still had some sweetness inside her. She stopped and wanted her friend, Micekit, to stay alive. But Shaketail ripped her pelt with his teeth, and another shreik was heard. Each shriek meant a death. Dawnpaw ran away from the other cats. There were a lot of them. She kept going for her life...
Dawnpaw lay in her tree. She was among the last five cats, she was a survivor. Suddenly, Dawnpaw saw a shape slowly climb her tree. Dawnpaw launched out of the tree and onto the cat. "Dawnpaw! It's me!" The cat, Featherpaw, meowed. Dawnpaw growled and sliced her claws against her chest. "I will win this, not you. I will kill you, so you can stop being a nuisance." Dawnpaw meowed coldly. She dug her claws into Featherpaw's chest, and she was out cold...
After that moment, Dawnpaw felt like a loser. She felt evil. She couldn't forgive herself. She won the Deathlympics, defeating Shaketail with fury. Dawnpaw collapsed at home, into a mess of herself. She had strong emotions, and her mother hated her. Her father wanted to kill her. They had seen Featherpaw's death. Dawnpaw was hated by everyone, she had a temper as bad as fire. Dawnpaw eventually let out her anger with fighting. The leader liked that. She became Dawnclaw, then Dawnstar. Dawnstar never remained the same...
