-Chapter one-

Splashpaw sniffed the air, *another cold day...* she thought with a sigh. The mountains were covered in snow and a slight frost covered the leaves. She turned around when she heard a sharp yowl. A black and white she-cat was prowling towards her, "Come on! Glacierstar has called a meeting!" the stranger meowed, "coming Tidalpaw!" Splashpaw mewed back; she got to her paws and trotted after her friend. The two apprentices reached the camp and were greeted by stares of disapproval from the elders and most of the warriors. "How can you two hope to become warriors if you can't even be on time!" came a furious hiss, a large pale-gray she-cat strolled over to them, her amber eyes shone with fire. "s-sorry Glacierstar..." muttered Tidalpaw apologetically, Glacierstar turned her angry gaze to Splashpaw; the dark gray apprentice narrowed her eyes and nodded. Glacierstar hissed impatiently and went back to addressing her clan. "Cats of Iceclan! We face a threat; Oceanclan has twice as many warriors as we do! If they continue their apprentices' training, Iceclan will be weak!" Yowls of anger rose from the cats below, "why not make our apprentices warriors sooner then!" came a hiss. Glacierstar looked and saw a young black-tom staring defiantly up at her "Bloodpaw…" she mewed, "most of the apprentices are not old enough to become warriors...". Bloodpaw shot her a glance, "why not the eldest apprentices then!" he muttered. Glacierstar let out a growl and lashed her tail angrily "No!." she yowled. "mousebrain..challenging Glacierstar like that…the idiot would get his fur clawed off.." Tidalpaw mewed, Splashpaw nodded, she looked up and saw Ghostface, the clan deputy stalking over to them. "Apprentices, you cannot be hanging around all day, go make yourselves useful and go clean out the elders den!" he snarled. Tidalpaw nodded respectfully and ran off; Splashpaw rolled her eyes but followed. "Ghostface...he can be such a jerk at times!", she spat, Tidalpaw nodded in agreement, Glacierstar jumped in front of her "Splashpaw, I want you to come on patrol with me, Dashtail, Dragonpelt, Peakpelt and Crescentmoon." She meowed, "come on, get Tidalpaw and then we can leave.". Splashpaw was about to retort but was cut off by a glare from Glacierstar, "is Ghostface clan leader now!?" she snarled, Splashpaw shrunk under the she-cat's gaze and hurried off to find Tidalpaw.
