Summery- Frostpaw is just beggining her life as a medicine cat and already, StarClan has her caught up in a big problem. In determindation to please her warrior ancestors, she choses to to their wil. But pleasing them may give her greatest love away, her life. She knows that she must do as she should, but sometimes doing the right thing is hard to do.

Okay this is my first story, so reviews are greatly appreacitated. I need to know how you liked it. PS, in all the other chapters, the story will be taken from my point of view. I am Frostpaw. (Later Frostfoot, but let's start on square one, shall we?) Also, all the cats in the story (well most of them) are people I know. So, I really can't kill them off, so I will make up for it with lots of action.

Prologue

Darkness hung over the forest. Moonlight crept through the dense thicket of trees. It was quiet. The only noise was the gentle whisper of the wind. Soon a soft pitter-patter broke the quietness. From the trees emerged a she-cat carrying a small kit that whined quietly. When she came to a river, she set the kit down and called across.

"Are you here?" She called searching the dark reeds on the other side of the river.

"Yes," called a gruff voice, "I'm here." The reeds parted to reveal a magnificent silver and white tom. He swam across and purred, rubbing gingerly against the she-cat. His paws brushed the small kit, and he noticed her.

"Who is that?" He observed, nudging the white bundle. The kit, too cold and tired to let out a moan, scooted away. The mother scooped her up in her tail, pressing it against her fur.

"This is our daughter. She will remain in my clan. I- I brought her here to show you." The cat replied gently giving it a push toward its father. He smiled fondly.

"She's beautiful." He purred softly. "Did you have any other kits?" He asked. The mother let out a faint purr of amusement. "No, only her." The tom shrugged. "Have you thought of a name for her yet?"

The queen shook her head. "No not yet. Nothing seems perfect for her." She sighed, and looked down at the kit, then over at the swirling river. "Do you have any ideas?" She asked.

"Hmm, perhaps Icekit or something cold. I don't know. Whatever you pick will be perfect." He was about to go closer when paw steps came near. He looked longingly at his mate and sighed. "I have to go." Without another word, he plunged into the river and swam downstream and out of sight.

The trespasser stepped out. He was a strong tom, with a dark blue tint. The she-cat gave a gasp. The new cat came over and sniffed her pelt. He sneered and sniffed the ground, looking for a scent. He found one. Then he tilted his head thinking. Snapping his head around to face the she-cat, the cat gasped in realization. He looked at the queen.

"So he is your mate." He spat on the ground. The she-cat gulped. "We are just friends." She mewed, trying to bluff her way out of the situation. He looked at her, hatred burning in his eyes.

"Don't lie to me. I already know. It's no use." His voice was betraying something, regret and sadness. The she-cat brought in a gasp. "How did you know?" She whispered. He gave a snort. "It almost easy to see that for the last moon you've been sneaking out of camp. Do you know how much trouble you could be in?" He asked his eyes beating against her pelt.

"I think I can make my own choices, thanks." The she-cat hissed flatly. The tom's eyes glinted. "You know I could tell your secret." He sneered evilly. The queen gasped.

"You wouldn't." She spat. "Oh yes I would." He threaten and watched as the cat push herself against the ground.

"Please, there must be something I can do to make you keep." The she-cat begged. He smiled. "Tell everybody that I'm the father of your kit. Do that and it will be kept a secret." The she-cat gasped and looked at him and at her kit. Then she sighed and looked away, her eyes closed.

"Okay, but only for my kit. Not for you." The she picked up the white bundle and stalked off. She looked over her shoulder and mewed. "You will never win my heart." Then she was gone and the tom stood in the snow covered clearing alone.

Okay, so that was the proloue. Sorry if that was short, but... well it's only the prologue. I promise the next chapter will be longer (and have action). PLEASE REVIEW!!!!! Tell me if I should keep going or not...
