Prologue
A cold breeze ruffled the tabby's sleek brown fur.
The moon cast a shadow on him, making his pelt turn a soft silver.
He stepped lightly on the small rocks that led him safely across the babbling brook.
He cringed when his fur snagged on a tendril root. It caused him to trip, and he fell into a pile of leaves, making a crashing sound.
"Who's there?" Hissed a she-cat.
She looked at the tabby tom, and spat at him when she saw his blue collar, a silver bell dangling off of it.
"A kittypet?" She hissed, a soft growl beginning to rise in the back of her throat.
The tom looked slowly up at her, and shivered when he saw her battle scars.
This must be one of the Clan cats I've heard so much about. He thought grimly.
"Well?" The she-cat hissed.
"Aren't you going to run away? Or are you one of those tough kittypets?"
"Larkpaw!" A she-cat called.
Larkpaw turned her head to look at a black she-cat.
"But... but Pinenose!" Larkpaw wailed in protest.
"This... this kittypet was trespassing on our territory! Shouldn't we do something?"
Pinenose hissed in frustration.
"Larkpaw," she mewed.
"This kittypet can walk away. He's got legs. There's no point in fighting him. He's totally innocent."
"Please..." Larkpaw pleaded.
"No. Let's go back to camp. Your nighttime training has come to an end." Pinenose demanded.
"It's not fair!" Larkpaw wailed.
"Life's not fair. But sometimes we have to learn to deal with it. It really doesn't matter what's fair and what's not. Unfair is me getting fresh-kill after just lounging around all day. StarClan decides what is fair." Pinenose told her flatly.
Larkpaw whimpered, but turned around to follow Pinenose into the pines where the tabby tom couldn't see.
He purred. That was a close one. His plan was nearly complete.
Chapter 1
Amberpaw slid the catmint into a crevice at the back of the store.
"Amberpaw." Jayfeather mewed from behind.
"Shouldn't the catmint go in front of the store?"
Amberpaw winced, and snatched up the precious catmint with her teeth.
Delicately as ever, she put it in the front of the stock.
"Better." Jayfeather meowed.
Amberpaw nodded.
She padded out of the Medicine Den, and watched observantly as Seedpaw paced impatiently around the Highledge, waiting for Bramblestar to come down and announce her warrior ceremony to begin.
Her sister, Lilytail, had become a warrior before her. Seedpaw had to wait because she didn't pass her warrior assessment the first time around. This time she did, though.
Amberpaw remembered the day she had interpreted a sign from StarClan. Jayfeather had been amazed at her technical abilities. She had even listed all the treatments and cures for sicknesses and injuries without having been taught. Jayfeather took this as a sign that she was to be the new Medicine Cat.
Although at first Amberpaw had hoped she'd be a warrior, being a Medicine Cat was actually pretty fun, too. She still got minor warrior training, though.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Highledge for a very special meeting!" Bramblestar announced.
Amberpaw took her seat next to Jayfeather.
It was time for Seedpaw to receive her warrior name!
"Seedpaw, come forward, please." Mewed Bramblestar.
Seedpaw made her way up to the Highledge.
Bramblestar began.
"I, Bramblestar, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand your code and ways and I ask you to make her a warrior in return." He paused to look up at the cloudy sky.
"Seedpaw," he meowed.
"Do you promise to uphold the Warrior Code, and defend and protect your Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Seedpaw couldn't stop herself from quivering with excitement, then her eyes flashed with jealousy at Lilytail.
Amberpaw could guess why.
Lilytail had their mother, Sorreltail, at her ceremony, but now Sorreltail is dead, leaving only Brackenfur to watch.
"I do." Seedpaw said finally.
"Then by the powers of StarClan," began Bramblestar.
"I give you your warrior name. Seedpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Seedstorm. StarClan honors your bravery and courage and therefore you have earned your warrior name. And by the tradition done over countless seasons, you shall guard and sit vigil for the camp."
Seedstorm bounced up and down with happiness.
"Seedstorm! Seedstorm!" ThunderClan chanted the new warrior's name over and over.
Two sunrises had passed since Seedstorm's warrior ceremony, and it was time for the gathering.
Amberpaw steadily made her way across the fallen tree, and almost slipped into the hungry, lapping waves below.
She caught her breath, and made it safely across to the other side.
ThunderClan made their way onto the island's shore, and mingled with RiverClan.
The leaders sat up on the tree, deputies below them.
Amberpaw sat in the cluster of Medicine Cats, and drew in a deep breath.
As soon as all the Clans had arrived, the leaders all nodded to one another to make sure it was safe to begin.
"I'll go first." Onestar volunteered.
"WindClan is strong and healthy, and we have had one elder, Tornear, die of old age." Onestar meowed.
The Clan cats bent their heads to grieve.
"The good news is, prey is running well, and we have shown off some trespassers." Onestar glared at Mistystar with dead, cold eyes.
"I beg your pardon," Mistystar mewed calmly.
"But we were tracking a fox and it must've escaped into your territory. My warriors were so intent on it, they didn't notice that they had crossed the border with WindClan. My deepest apologies, Onestar."
Onestar closed his eyes briefly.
The leaders went on talking, but what really made Amberpaw look up, was Blackstar.
"A kittypet has been seen wandering through our territory." He hissed.
"But we showed him off. If anyone else dares to try, they will be very sorry." His eyes raked across the sea of cat faces.
Larkpaw stood up proudly.
"Actually, it was Pinenose and I who showed him off." She stood with her head held high, as if expecting some sort of praise.
The only praise she got was the hiss of her mentor, Pinenose.
"Sit down!" Pinenose growled.
Larkpaw's eyes flashed with embarrassment as cats began to purr with amusement.
Quickly she sat back down.
Cats began to mingle and share tongues, and Amberpaw grunted as a black tom butted into her.
It was Smokefoot.
"Sorry!" He mewed.
"It's OK." Amberpaw meowed kindly.
Smokefoot ran off to talk to a WindClan she-cat.
Amberpaw groomed herself in the light of the moon.
She heard pitiful wailing from the nursery.
Dovewing!
"Jayfeather, Jayfeather!" Amberpaw shook the Medicine Cat ruthlessly.
"What?" He asked.
He strained his ears.
He raced to the nursery.
But before he left, he mewed, "Amberpaw, borage!"
Amberpaw nodded and picked up some borage leaves with her teeth.
She hurried to the nursery, and placed them beside Dovewing.
"There will be four." Jayfeather meowed.
Dovewing yowled in pain.
The aftermath was one dark brown tom with ginger splotches, Treekit, a black she-kit, Hollykit, a pale gray tabby tom with black stripes, Tigerkit, and a reddish she-kit with black stripes, Redkit.
Daisy purred and closed her eyes as she went back to sleep.
Dovewing licked up the borage.
Her four tiny kits suckled, kneading her belly with their tiny front paws.
Chapter 2
"Thornclaw, take Ivypool, Spiderleg, Bumblestripe and Snowpaw on the Sunhigh Patrol." Squirrelflight instructed.
Thornclaw nodded.
Snowpaw was nibbling on a vole. He was hungry, but not in the mood for vole. Sadly, Brackenfur had chosen it for him.
"You had better finish that right now." Thornclaw demanded.
Snowpaw quickly gulped down the vole.
They headed out into the forest, and began to patrol.
They renewed the scent marker on the WindClan border, and Snowpaw noticed two pairs of amber eyes watching them. Without any warning, they vanished.
Snowpaw shrugged to himself, and followed Thornclaw and the patrol farther into the woods.
After the patrol, Snowpaw made his way over to the aprrentices' den.
But before he could settle down, his mother, Brightheart, came over to him.
"Purdy needs some dry moss for his nest." She told him.
Snowpaw groaned.
Brightheart purred.
"Why don't you take Dewpaw with you?" She said.
"I'm sure he'd-" she was cut off by Sandstorm's piercing yowl.
"WindClan is attacking!" She screeched.
"Never mind." Brightheart mewed quickly. She ran off to attack a tom.
Snowpaw quivered with excitement. His first real battle!
A gray she-cat pinned him down, slashing her claws against his flank.
Snowpaw thrust her off, then scored a blow to her chest. He pinned her, and clamped his teeth on her rib cage, blood forming pools beside them.
The she-cat yowled with pain.
"Furzepelt!" A tom meowed worriedly, and picked up Snowpaw by the scruff. With a great effort, the tom threw him across the camp.
Landing against the fallen tree, Snowpaw felt his hind legs go numb. His head spun with pain that ached in his body.
Snowpaw tried to hoist himself up, but the effort was pointless and he was just wasting energy.
"Jayfeather! Amberpaw? Somebody!" He yowled, but to no avail.
Snowpaw writhed in agony, which only made it worse.
His legs and head screamed with the effort, and Snowpaw realized that his Clan could go on without him.
He closed his eyes and gave way to dizzying blackness.
A grayish silver she-cat shook him.
He recognized her, Silverstream.
Bluestar padded toward them, followed by Yellowfang, Snowfur and Moonflower.
How did he know all of these cats?
"Welcome to StarClan, young apprentice!" Bluestar exclaimed.
"No! It isn't possible! My Clan needs me!" Snowpaw wailed.
"Hush, Snowpaw." Moonflower, Bluestar and Snowfur's mother, soothed him in a calming voice.
"Jayfeather has come to get you and bring you back to safety." Yellowfang rasped.
"But before you go," Snowfur mewed.
"Here's a prophecy." She nodded to Bluestar, who spoke at once.
"The flight of a wing means cruelty, and can only be stopped by the falling of snow."
"Snowpaw!" Snowpaw was wide awake as soon as he heard the sound of Foxleap's voice.
"Snowpaw!" Brightheart mewed, as did Cloudtail.
"Oh, Snowpaw." Amberpaw mewed.
"I thought we'd lost you forever."
Snowpaw rose to his paws, muscles aching with the effort.
Dustpelt rushed over, and purred with amusement when he saw Snowpaw sneeze.
"What's the matter?" He asked playfully.
"Got a cold?"
Squirrelflight announced loudly, "Snowpaw has survived!"
Cats began to cheer.
Snowpaw felt airy and light with relief.
He remembered when Jayfeather had come to get him, saying he had done the same for Poppyfrost when she had greencough.
"Snowpaw!" Dewpaw came bounding up to him.
"Wanna go and collect some moss for the elders now? I don't want to go all by myself."
"I'll supervise." Spiderleg volunteered.
"Okay!" Snowpaw mewed.
At least it would get his mind off of the prophecy.
Snowpaw gathered moss until his claws ached.
Then, Dewpaw and Spiderleg aided him in carrying it back to camp.
"Ah. That's much better. I thought that ol' bracken would cause my fur to come off, an' I would be a furless monster. Or it would make scars in me." Purdy meowed as Snowpaw and Dewpaw put the moss on his nest.
"Thanks, young'uns." Purdy purred.
"No problem!" Snowpaw and Dewpaw meowed in a chorus.
Snowpaw padded out of the elders' den and into the nursery.
He noticed Flightkit suckling on Blossomfall's belly.
Then, he recited the prophecy in his head.
The flight of a wing means cruelty, and can only be stopped by the falling of snow.
Chapter 3
Dewpaw froze as he scented mouse.
"Dewpaw!" The sound of his mother/mentor's voice snapped him back to reality.
"We're practicing battle techniques, not on how to scent a mouse!"
"Sorry, Brightheart." Dewpaw whispered.
Brightheart sighed.
"Can you repeat the back-flip slash I showed you?" She asked.
Dewpaw nodded.
He jumped up, flipped backward in the air, and two heartbeats before he hit the ground, he slashed the air with his hind legs.
"Impressive." Brightheart meowed.
Dewpaw felt triumph build up inside of him.
Dewpaw stalked the mouse, who was too busy nibbling on a poppy seed to notice him.
Dewpaw sprung, killing the mouse with a swift bite on the neck.
Silently he thanked StarClan its life.
Later on in the day, after his warrior assessment, Bramblestar announced, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Highledge for a very special Clan meeting!"
He spoke to Dewpaw.
"I do." Dewpaw meowed after Bramblestar had finished.
"Then by the powers of StarClan, I give you your warrior name. Dewpaw, from this moment on you will be known as Dewleaf. StarClan honors your courage and bravery and I'm very proud to call you Dewleaf."
Bramblestar went on to Snowpaw, and Snowpaw became Snowfall.
Fear and realization flashed for a moment in Snowfall's eyes, but then was replaced by happiness.
"Dewleaf! Snowfall!" The Clan chanted their names over and over, and Dewleaf felt a surge of joy electrocute him like greenleaf lightning.
"Tonight Amberpaw and I shall travel to Moonpool, where Amberpaw shall receive her warrior name as well." Jayfeather meowed aloud.
Bramblestar nodded to his foster-son.
The next day, Amberpaw was bouncing around Dewleaf and Snowfall, mewing her new name.
"Ambermoon! Doesn't it sound just lovely?" Ambermoon exclaimed.
"Yes, just beautiful." Snowfall meowed, a purr to his tone.
"I, also love the way it sounds." Dewleaf complemented.
"We all got wonderful names!" Ambermoon mewed.
Snowfall's eyes glittered with worry.
Out of nowhere, Flightkit pounced on Snowfall.
"Just you wait, Snowfall!" She mewled.
"I'll be as strong as you! I could even beat you in battle!"
Snowfall breathed in quick shallow breaths, and Dewleaf motioned with his tail for Snowfall to come over.
Snowfall followed Dewleaf into a bush.
"What's wrong?" Dewleaf asked Snowfall with worry.
"Before Jayfeather came to get me, Bluestar told me a prophecy." Snowfall mewed halfheartedly.
Snowfall recited the prophecy.
"What an odd prophecy." Dewleaf told him.
"Do you think it means Squirrelflight? You know, because of the flight part?"
"No." Replied Snowfall.
"I think it means Flightkit. Flightkit will probably become Flightwing, and Flightwing will kill me."
"Not if I can help it." Dewleaf told him bravely.
Snowfall's eyes glowed briefly with hope, but the hope in his amber eyes quickly vanished.
"Hopefully." He mewed.
"Hopefully."
Well, that's the end of it so far! Please review, and I will reply to the reviews now. I will also be making more chapters soon. If there is any random stuff in the story, keep in mind that I copied and pasted it from one of my stories on LibreOffice.
