…
"We all have to tell you something that you should know," Frozencloud said. I stopped talking with Whitepaw and looked at our mentors. We were at the Shrub hollow, our training area. "Do any of you know the cat called Fang," Foxlight said.
I looked at Bluepaw and Whitepaw. I shook my head. Frozencloud looked down. "What does he look like," I asked. "He had black fur and amber eyes, that's all we can see," Stonedrop said and looked around. "And you are telling us this because?" Bluepaw spoke up.
"Because he is a killer and we are just warning you," Frozencloud growled. Bluepaw rolled his eyes and licked his paws. "I can take him," he said. "Nobody can, not even a leader. You won't be able to scratch him before he kills you," Frozencloud growled.
"You are correct," a voice said. Everyone looked around warily and frantically. "Get back apprentices," Stonedrop growled. "Show yourself," Frozencloud growled. I looked past Frozencloud and saw a pair of fiery amber eyes.
"Why should I, it's more fun watching you panic," the voice said. I stared at the amber eyes. "I will fight you," Bluepaw said and ran towards the amber eyes. "Bluepaw come back here," Stonedrop yowled and ran after him. I heard Bluepaw screech.
The amber eyes disappeared. "Run as fast as you can back to camp," Foxlight growled at me and Whitepaw. I nodded and ran ahead of Whitepaw. The last thing I heard was another screech from Bluepaw. I ran through the snowy tundra.
Whitepaw was right behind me. We ran into camp panting. Everyone looked at us. "Fang," I muttered breathlessly. Everyone understood and ran into the dens. Some warriors ran out of camp to go fight him. "Where is Frozencloud," Icestar yowled at me.
"He is back there," I said and ran into the apprentice den. Whitepaw ran in after me. I paced inside the den. "Why is Bluepaw so full of himself," I growled and paced faster. "I'm scared Snowpaw, what if they are right. Could they even stop him?" Whitepaw said.
I stopped and looked at her. She was shivering. Sure it was always snowing and windy, but she was shaking of fear. I padded up to her and sat in front of her. "Sure they can," I said. She let out a shaky breath and curled up. She fell asleep soon after.
I sighed and silently padded outside. Snowflakes fell on my nose. I shook my head and stalked towards the fresh-kill pile. I looked up at the sky. Clouds were moving quickly and the wind was blowing a little harder. I dragged the two voles towards the den.
I sat silently and stared at the camp entrance. It seemed like moons until I saw something moving. Icestar entered camp with bleeding wounds. I saw Frozencloud dragging a lifeless body. I narrowed my eyes and saw that it was Stonedrop. I ran outside.
"H-He's gone," Icestar couldn't stop from stuttering. I looked around and saw Bluepaw unconscious but breathing. He had a patch of fur missing from his back and shoulder. I looked at Stonedrop. He had a clump of fur missing from his neck. Everyone had a clump or patch of fur missing.
Leafstone padded out of her den with herbs. "Someone needs to warn Fogclan and Streamclan, he went in their direction," Icestar said breathlessly. Looks like our warrior ceremony will be put on hold. It was supposed to be tonight, guess not anymore.
"I will take a small patrol with me tomorrow Icestar," Frozencloud said and dipped his head. Icestar nodded and went to her den. "Snowpaw, your ceremony will be tomorrow instead, ok," Frozencloud said and went to the warriors den. I sighed and helped drag Bluepaw to the den.
I laid him on his nest and looked outside. Foxlight, Specklefrost, Glacierstone, and Silversnow were sitting vigil for Stonedrop. I walked around the apprentice den. Blizzardclaw came inside. "Hi," he said. "Hey dad," I greeted and continued walking.
"Your brother will be fine," he said and licked the top of my head. I nodded and sat down in my nest. "Get some rest," he said and backed out of the den. I closed my eyes and found myself asleep soon after.
"Wake up Snowpaw," I heard Whitepaw whine. I opened my eyes and saw her also waking up Bluepaw. Bluepaw lifted his head immediately and looked around. "What is it Whitepaw," I growled. "We are supposed to be on dawn patrol," she said and ran outside. I growled and sat up.
Bluepaw struggled to stand with his wounds. "Go back to sleep, I am sure they will understand why you can't go," I said and padded outside. I looked back and saw him already curling up again. I rolled my eyes and made my way to the camp entrance.
Cloudshadow, Iceflower, Goldenhawk, Whitepaw and I made up the dawn patrol. "Let's go," Goldenhawk said and began leading us towards the hunting areas. "Spilt up, Whitepaw and Snowpaw, go to the Frozen Pond, I will go with Cloudshadow and Iceflower to the Treeless Plains," he said.
"Get at least two pieces of prey each and meet up at the Snow Hill," Goldenhawk said and ran ahead of his group. "Let's go," I said with a small growl. "He gave us the worst place to hunt during this season," Whitepaw growled. "Well, I think he hates us," I said with a smirk.
"Race you," Whitepaw said and ran ahead. I chased after her. We made it to the Frozen Pond in a minute. There was a spot where sunlight melted the ice. I stood by it and made sure my shadow didn't cover the water. Lots of fish lived here, but we rarely hunt here. I lashed my tail and dunk my head underneath the freezing cold water. I bit down on a medium sized fish and brought it on shore. I slashed its belly and saw it lay still.
"Good catch," Whitepaw said and lashed her claws into the water. She dragged a fish out and bit its head. I shook the water off my head and looked down again. We finished hunting soon after, I caught a small fish and a medium sized fish. White caught two big fishes.
"Let's go back," I said and carried the two fish in my mouth. We ran to the Snow Hill where they are supposed to meet us. I saw Goldenhawk's golden brown tail. We walked up to them. "Finally," he growled and picked up a vole and hare. "Relax Goldenhawk, we barely got here," Cloudshadow growled. Goldenhawk hissed back and we began walking back to camp.
I stayed in the back with Whitepaw. She had her ears perked up and eyes narrowed. She was looking around the area. "This is another cat that died fighting against that monster," I heard Goldenhawk growl softly to Cloudshadow.
"Iceflower," I said softly. She backed and looked at me. "How many cats have died since Fang showed up," I muttered. She flattened her ears. "We had a lot of cats in the past, he showed up about two moons before you were born," she said. I perked my ears up, so he would be a new warrior if he was in a clan.
I shook out my fur and nodded my head to her. We made it to camp shortly after. I walked to the fresh-kill pile and placed my fish down. Bluepaw was out of the den and laying on the snow. I shook out my fur and walked to him. He lifted his head and looked at me.
"Hey," he said and sat up. "Hi," I said and looked around. "Has Frozencloud left already," I asked and sat down. "No, he is leaving tonight after our ceremony," he said and moved onto his back. "Dad said to be careful when we go hunting," Bluepaw said. I nodded and looked around. Our camp is big, but we have very few cats.
I swayed my tail. Is Fang that tough? "Was he really that hard to beat," I asked suddenly. Bluepaw opened one eye and nodded. He rolled onto his side and sighed. "I don't know where he learned all those moves I couldn't even touch him. Even when Icestar came with a patrol, nobody could attack him," he said and stood up.
I lashed my tail. "How come we don't do border patrols?" he asked suddenly. I shrugged. "Because the clans have the same enemy, until he is killed, we have peace with the other clans," Blizzardclaw came up to us. I nodded to him. "That makes sense," Bluepaw said.
I looked around and saw Whitepaw walking to us. "Want to go hunt again," she asked. I nodded slightly. "Be careful," Blizzardclaw said. I nodded and me and Whitepaw ran to the Frost Forest. We entered shortly after. "You chose to hunt here because?" I said to Whitepaw.
"Why what's wrong with it," she said and ran up a tree. "Um, in case you have forgotten, a storm is coming soon, our warrior ceremony is soon, and this is where Fang was last seen," I growled. "Icestar said he went towards the other clans," Whitepaw said and looked down.
"Let's spilt up," she said. "No, you just want us to get killed don't you," I growled and followed her. She rolled her eyes and we leapt from tree to tree. I caught the scent of a squirrel. "There is a bird over there and a squirrel over there, looks like we have to split up," she said. The snowflakes were falling more and more, I could barely see her now.
I shook out my fur and followed the scent of the squirrel. I saw its brown fluffy tail poking out of snow. I leapt into the air and pounced on it. It squeaked and I bit down on its neck. It was a full snow storm now. I picked up my squirrel and began padding away.
I was almost out of the Frost Forest. I was pounced on and pinned down. My squirrel landed away from me and I growled. I looked up and fear instantly entered my eyes. I saw two amber eyes, Fang.
