Frosted Light
"Oh starclan.." I muttered under my breath. My paws were aching, my tail was frozen. And most of all, my pelt probably had a good amount of twigs stuck into it. My pawsteps slowly stopped, and I looked up to taste the air. "A storm is brewing" Flash meowed beside me. I know, Flash. You just bet me to it. He looked over at me, his silky blue eyes meeting mine. It was a deep, ocean blue. Not the dirty blue eyes lightfall used to tell me. So she hasn't really seen Flash's eyes before. I hating thinking about all the lies my mother used to tell me, so I turned around to look away from Flash. I took the lead once more, paddling through the rain. When I didn't hear Flash following me, I turned around to face him. He just stood there, suspended in his thoughts. ''Hello?!'' I mocked him. ''We better get a move on! Don't just stand there soaking up water!'' But he just stared at me. ''What's wrong with you?'' I hissed at him. Flash opened his jaws to say something, but no words came out. I narrowed my eyes at him, but kept my mouth shut. Slowly, I began to think he was frozen. I chuckled at the thought. If he's not gonna move, I will. I left him standing there, and continued the walk. ''It's impossible to find shelter!'' I hissed to myself. Only I didn't realize I had shouted those words. "Then I think we should go back.'' I heard a voice behind me. I turned around, uncertain. "Are you sure, Flash? It was you who suggested we go out in the first place." I meowed, glaring at him. Flash just rolled his eyes. "I suggested it as a joke!" He argued back.
I shook my head. ''Not frozen anymore?'' I teased him. He growled unpleasantly. "Well, whatever happened, it shouldn't make us stand in the rain."
I laughed inside. Flash was sulking! "Alright, Flash. Then we go back." I smirked, watching his face turn from angry to surprised. ''You finally get me for once…'' He mumbled under his breath. There might be a better place for us out there, but my paws seem to think differently. I waited a while, before letting flash take the lead. After all that searching, we were gonna have to go back to our old, small hole! I sighed, slightly regretted my decision. But that face was priceless! Slowly, he began moving, walking back the way we came- Only to be stopped by my gaze. Flash looked up at me, as if expecting an argument. What a useless tom! I criticized in my head. I gulped down my words; if it wasn't for him I could be dead. "The storm's getting worse" I muttered, avoiding his eyes. He didn't say anything, and when I walked away from him, I could feel his eyes burning holes at the back of my skull. Just as I became silent, I felt the rain pelting down at me. I wasn't wrong. Sighing softly, I returned my gaze to focus in front of me. It was gonna be a long journey if we were to return back to shelter.

As much as I didn't like arguing with Flash, we had to do it. I shook my thoughts away and started walking after Flash. Oh, how I hated that tom! And how I hate the fact that he can convince me to do anything with the look of his eyes. But he was strong and loyal, even though his negatives overpowered his positives, he was still a good cat in general. In general? More like never… I thought to myself as I remembered his attitude before the accident. He was selfish, arrogant, and never missed a chance to show off. There was a distinct sound of a dog barking, and my ears shot up in surprise. Flash seemed to notice this too, as his ears flattened on his skull. ''You told me there were no dogs around here.'' I asked him, forcing a calm tone. He simply shrugged. My jaw dropped. Did he not know how dangerous dogs can be? Growling with anger, I pushed past Flash and ran in the direction I thought was shelter. The pebbles under me sprayed in every direction, bouncing off my pelt. I didn't bother to check behind me, but soon enough I couldn't hear Flash's pawsteps behind me. I had to admit, I was a bit scared. The trees and bushes around me looked nothing like the tall, rough trees that grew in the forest. Everything was just so… Clear. No twigs to trip you over, no grass to cushion your falls. The dog in the distance had just became louder, and I crouched- hunching my shoulders and bracing myself for an attack. I could hear a small rumbling in the distance, and I began worrying. The rain had blurred my vision, and soon I was standing in fog. Where am I? I stopped, raising my muzzle. I could scent nothing in this place! I shook my head angrily, and tried to blame it on Flash. It's all Flash's fault! But it wasn't. I began running blindly into the fog, the rain pouring on my pelt. A beam of light shone down upon me, and I looked around. Nothing, just cold hard ground and small pebbles. No more trees or bushes even. The rain was just getting stronger, and bits of ice was scattered around. "Frostpelt! Watch o-" I heard a distant voice call. "Flash?" I whispered. Out of the corner I could see a pair of blue eyes staring at me. I growled. Those blue eyes! I refused to stare at him for another second, and instead focused on the light in front of me. I felt the ground shake, and I beams of sweat dripped down my fur. It sent a shiver down my spine. I could no longer feel the cold freezing my blood. As if it was a shield. Every part of my body was frozen with the cold, and the hail was just making it worse. I felt stiff, but yet I could not feel anything. The ground felt like ice under my paws, and the fact that I was alone didn't help. I shook my head with frustration, and narrowed my eyes to focus on the silhouette charging closer to me. I stared at it in shock. Flash. Was all I could think of. I turned to face him, half hoping he was still there. There was the blue eyes again, staring intensely into my hazel pupils. As I stumbled towards him, another beam of light slashed through the air, resting on me. I groaned, turning to face the large object. It looked like a badger, but faster. Like a fox, but bigger. Horror filled my chest as I remembered I was in the city; no wild animals, no prey, only keepers. This was my doom. As I stared in it's glowing eyes, I realized, it was a rust monster.
Frosted Light
It's skin was a rusty white, shimmering in the rain. The two eyes shone yellow lasers, it's paws black with fury. And most frightening of all; the no-fur inside it.
I stood there, paws rooted to the ground, as I saw the rust monster dashing towards me. I could feel the vibration shaking my paws, making my body tremble. I could not speak, my words were frozen of the cold, pushed in by the rust monster, and kept inside me. Horrified, I opened my jaw only to hear the rumbling sound of the monster. Every inch of me was waiting to get slammed against the monster, to feel it's cold, hard skin against mine. I heard the rust monster roar. Smoke filled my lungs, and I struggled to even stand. I tripped over my own paws, and collapsed on the ground. I was terrified, exhausted, and ready to go to Starclan. This is child's play! I insulted myself. You're a warrior! Not a kit. My mind started racing. From when Lightfall was playing with me, to her death date. I shuddered. She won't want me to join her so fast.. Suddenly, I felt sharp jaws grasp my muzzle, pushing my off my feet. My vision shaked, and I closed my eyes. Someone- or something was pushing me away from the rust monster. I could feel my fur scraping against the hard concrete, and pain flowed throughout my veins. My head swirled, it all happened so fast. My body flew through the air, just barely skimming the ground. The loud roars of the rust monster was getting less and less loud, and the smoke that inhabited my lungs was finally clearing. Although I could just feel the coldness of the rain, it felt blocked by leaves. A another body was pressed against mine, I could feel the warm blood. The misty air was clear of smoke, and a pang of homesickness washed over me. I was in the forest! I realized. It had never felt so good to be back, despite the fact that I was so close to dying. But my head still ached, and dust still lingered around me. My whole body was still shaking, and before I knew what was happening, everything went black. Starclan, be with me.
