ShadowClan

"Other Clans may be faster and stronger, but we are the most dangerous warriors: fierce, proud, and independent. We are ruthlessly willing to do whatever it takes to protect our great Clan. There won't be any softhearted alliances here! ShadowClan will always be the dark heart of the forest."⚠**SHADOWCLAN**⚠OMINOUS ★ HOSTILE ★ CUNNING
**ABOUT US🐾**

You were padding through the dark, marshy woods, your orbs somewhat wide with fear as you gazed around. You had journeyed too far from your nest, and followed an oh-so-tempting squirrel into the woods. It was already long gone, probably hiding high up in the pines.
The ground squished and squelched under your paws, and unfamiliar scents seemed to attack your rhinarium. The area seemed hostile, dangerous, and absolutely terrifying, and it seemed to swallow you into the darkness of it with no way out.
You froze, scenting a sudden wave of the unfamiliar scent, which you were slowly recognizing as other felines. So then you crouched down, trying to hide within the patches of tall grass, hoping whatever it was that was in the woods with you wouldn't see you.
Suddenly, a large force shoved you over, sending you tumbling into what felt like a pond of just pure mud. You struggled to rise back to your paws, fear flooding through you as if it was water finally breaking out of a dam. Yet, sadly, you couldn't seem to get up, and it felt as if some force was on your back, keeping you down.
"What are you doing in ShadowClan territory?" You heard a voice snarl, and you began to shake, trying to force out a respond, "P-Please don't hurt me! I'm sorry! I d-didn't mean to!"
You heard a snort. "Didn't mean to? One of *my* patrols saw how you sniffed at the border, crossing it without a care. They saw you try to chase a piece of *our* prey. Excuses, excuses."
You struggled to push your head above the mud, desperately gulping down breaths, "P-Please, I'm begging you! L-Let me go, I won't come back!"
"Let you go?" You heard the voice meow, tone darkening, "Hmm... No. I'll be merciful, though, and give you two options. Join ShadowClan, or die."
You shook at the words and gulped, "I-I'll join!"
