The Rule

The Rule is the 1st book of the Dark Forest Arc.

Wasppelt's Perspective
He is seen in a dream of the Dark Forest.

He yowls for help and sees Reedclaw. The jet black tom hackles him down and snarls at him. The big striped yellow and black tom flipped the jet black tom over and sliced his firm long claws into the jet black tom's fur. the fur revealed a bleeding cut. He then goes and jumps over to another Dark Forest Resident, Needlewing. The RiverClan Tom snarls as he gets tackled by the yellow tom. The blue tabby tom hides in a gross, stinky bush before getting pushed out by the yellow tom.

The blue tom yelps as pain drew over his confidence. Wasppelt slides over, claws stained red. He snarls, "Sparrowfang, Where in StarClan are you?!"

A brown tortoiseshell and white she-cat appeared. She grins lovingly at her mate as she growls for the win. She tackles him on to the floor, slicing his leg. The yellow striped tom yowled in pain as he examines his cut. He growls to back off but Sparrowfang doesn't. She starts to back away in defeat.

The striped yellow tom's dream is over and he wakes up, herbs tinging his nose. He realized Silverheart was next to him, helping him with the Dark Forest cuts.

Flustered that he got injured, he stood up barely from the cuts. Silverheart told him to be careful in the dreams, before patting the striped yellow tom's pelt gently with her tail.
