The story
Icepaw paced nervously outside Wavestar's den, tail twitching. He had been caught eating fresh kill on a hunting patrol, and was awaiting his punishment for breaking the warrior code.
An angry yowl escaped him as Swirlpaw walked past, clearly gloating about the fact he had set Icepaw up.
'Still hungry, Icepaw?' he mewed innocently.
'You said that fish was for me! And you called for Sunclaw!
Sunclaw, Icepaw's mentor, stuck rigidly to the warrior code and did not appreciate that his apprentice had broken it.
'Well, I thought he might want some fish too!' meowed Swirlpaw, flexing his shoulders, (which were much bigger than Icepaw's) and unsheathing his big claws. Icepaw hissed and leapt.
Sunclaw was sharing tongues with Moonheart when angry yowls sounded across the clearing. He jumped to his paws and ran across the camp, to find Icepaw pinned by Swirlpaw on the ground. With one strong stroke of his paw, he knocked Swirlpaw off his apprentice.
Icepaw saw the ginger cat's eyes and gulped. He hoped he wouldn't get in more troulble from his mentor.
Sunclaw looked at his first apprentice. Icepaw had a stunningly bright white coat, but it was his strange eyes that drew attention. The irises were completely white, with a balck out line, which made his black pupils stand out. Icepaw was small for an apprentice, (not nearly as big as Swirlpaw), but showed promise as a prey- hunter. He could spot a mouse under leaflitter ten foxlengths away.
Sunclaw was a medium- sized ginger cat who was admired for his long, hooked front claws. It was said he could slice a vole from nose to tail with one blow. He sighed. Icepaw was nothing like himself. He had no regard for the warrior code at all! Sunclaw just didn't know what to do with him.
Wavestar, the Riverclan leader, emerged from his den. His sleek grey coat was shiny and well groomed. Even though the leader looked slight and skinny, he was the fastest cat anyone had everseen, even faster than Windclan cats. He could slit an opponents throat before they could even blink. Now he was sleepy after a large fish from the freshkill pile.
'So, tell me, what young Icepaw has done now?' he mewed wearily.
Even though Wavestar was very young for a leader, he liked to refer to others as though he was an elder.
'He was caught eating a fish on a hunting patrol.' said Sunclaw hesitantly.
'But Swirlpaw set me up!' yowled Icepaw indignantly.
Wavestar sighed. Although he believed Icepaw, he was tired of him always fighting with Swirlpaw. They were both promising warriors and they needed to get along. With leaf-bare approaching, they couldn't afford to waste strength. Already they had been in skirmishes with the unfriendly Shadowclan cats. Their leader, Owlstar wanted to expand his territory into Riverclan and Thunderclan territories.
