Hey, welcome to my first ever fanfiction. It has been 5 months in the making, and I hope you enjoy it. It is a rather overused idea, but what if Crowfeather and Leafpool never went back to the Clans? What if they started their own Clan, which forms around them and takes on some of the biggest challenges Clan cats have ever known? There is a nice little button at the bottom that says 'Review'. It would mean a lot if you just took the two minutes to review my story and tell me about it! The best review will get some sort of reward….

'laughs maniacally at the incentive being offered'

Enjoy the story and don't forget to review…thanks….Leopardstorm!

Welcome to Destroyed Fate

By the way, this is from Crowfeather's POV

Chapter 1 – Hopes and Thoughts

I woke up early, not having the most peaceful sleep, but a comfortable one nonetheless. Next to me laid Leafpool. She is beautiful in every single way. She is wise, loyal to her friends (she has already proven this to me many times over) and incredibly brave. I think that StarClan destined us to be together, even with our circumstances. You see, Leafpool used to be ThunderClan's medicine cat, and I used to be a WindClan warrior, but ever since the Great Journey, there's always been an attraction between us. However, the warrior code dictates that no two warriors from different Clans can ever be mates, not to mention that a medicine cat can't have a mate either.

We knew we had to be together, otherwise our fur will fall out from sadness, and so we left the Clans to face the unknown territory beyond ours. We have no restrictions as StarClan do not govern these grounds, and we can look forward to spending the rest of our lives together.

But we are now a quarter-moon later and we still hadn't decided what to do with the long path of life. I walked around the thicket bush were we sheltering, and my thoughts were revolving around my head saying something like, What if we just travel for the rest of our lives? What will we do?

Suddenly, the head of Leafpool jumped out and made me lose my train of thought.

"Hey Crowfeather, what are you doing up so early?", she asked, tilting her head quizzically.

"Just thinking," I replied as I sat down next to her.

"Of what?"

"The same stuff that I have been thinking about for the last quarter-moon".

"Oh".

Leafpool's eyes clouded a little. I guess she was still thinking about ThunderClan. I nuzzled her muzzle affectionately delicately, trying to calm her down, but the more I did this, the worse she got. I felt confused and a little disconcerted.

"What's wrong?" I asked softly, concerned wrapped around my voice like ivy on a tree.

"Oh, Crowfeather! What is ThunderClan going to think of me? A lying, filthy traitor! WHY?!"

I let her rest on my shoulder, feeling a small wet patch starting to form on my shoulder, but I clamped my mouth shut.

"Oh, yo-u-u d-d-d-on't h-h-have to l-l-listen to me bab-b-b-ble on…", Leafpool stuttered, trying with all her might to calm down and control herself.

"Quite the contrary, Leafpool. I want to be there for you, help you, that's what I'm here for!" I pointed out delicately.

"…"

"You miss Clan life, don't you," I guessed sheepishly.

She nodded weakly, trying to take in all her emotions.

A very strange silence ensued, both trapped in a cave that keeps us away from any happiness. We just need to find the way out and start a new life that we can control. But then…

"Crowfeather, why don't we start our own Clan!" Leafpool blurted out.

"Mmmm," I made a very dramatised impression of looking around. "Yep, I see LOADS of cats here," I said sarcastically.

"Well it was just a thought…" Leafpool grumbled.

I rolled my eyes. Surely she knew I was just joking. I thought it was actually a very good idea. I just hope Leafpool could get used to that.

We walked on, and on, sometimes stopping to hunt or to have a drink or to rest. But as we walked on and on, I started to become weary, and as hard as I tried, I couldn't think of anything that could help us get out of this mess.

Were we really destined to die walking to our deaths?

So that's it guys, the first chapter! I know it is quite short, but they get longer I promise. It was actually 3 pages in Size 14 font. If you are lucky, I may update more tonight…Just don't forget to read and review. I will reply to every one of them in the next update.

Thanks from Leopardstorm
