Story:

Hiddenkit was born of an affair between the Clan's deputy, Harefalter, and a loner named Killdeer. Harefalter took young Hiddenkit back to camp. He was a terrible liar, and even though the deputy said Hiddenkit was a kit he "found,” everyone knew. 

The leader, Juniperstar, decided against punishing him, despite of what most of the Clan said. Because of this, Hiddenkit was bullied, being called a mixbreed and being told he should die. Because of this he grew up with a strong hatred of authority and lost faith in Starclan. In fact, he lost any belief in Starclan.

When Hiddenkit was made an apprentice, one of the older apprentices, Axolotlpaw, killed Highpaw in front of him. He remembers it vividly. He also remembers the blood as he and two other apprentices, Flockpaw and Rampaw, tore into Axolotlpaw. He remembered how Flockpaw and Rampaw felt no remorse for their own adoptive sibling. 

His hatred grew.

He was ratted out, because Rampaw told the leader. That damn leader decided against punishing them, again. He was called a killer. He hated being known as a killer, but it'd be something he grew to accept as he became a warrior.

It was a regular day, a regular hunting session, when Ramhorn confronted him. She told him that he shouldn't be so on edge, how the incident with Axolotlpaw was so long ago, how he should just be a good warrior. 

He hated this with every nerve in his body. He pounced on Ramhorn, unsheathing his claws, and slit her throat before she could scream.

Again, he tried to move on. He didn't want to be known as a killer. Killing Ramhorn brought him no catharsis at all. But his hatred of Juniperstar kept him going. A cat named Pebbledrop noticed this during a gathering and brushed past him, growling. "Calm down, anarchist."

Anarchist. That was a new one, Hiddensnake thought. He tried to brush it off, but Pebbledrop came back every gathering, taunting him with that nickname. Anarchist. Anarchist, anarchist, anarchist.

Maybe he was an anarchist. He embraced it, eventually. But not after following Pebbledrop back into Thunderclan territory and slitting his throat like he did to Ramhorn.

If he was an anarchist, he should take things into his own paws. In public, in a gathering. That'd make a statement. He waited for another gathering. Juniperstar was in the middle of talking when he struck, slitting the leader's throat slowly and throwing his body off the fourstones. The leader of Riverclan, Coralstar, grabbed him, but Hiddensnake kicked her off. Coralstar made sure her claws got caught in Hiddensnake's fur so he would come down with her.

He heard Coralstar's skull crack, and felt a brief second of satisfaction before his did as well.
