Chapter 1

The sun slowly rose above the glittering ice walls of the IceClan camp. The cats who lived within those walls were just beginning their day. For many moons the Clan had lived in peace and harmony with their neighbors; FireClan, the cats that lived in the warm grasslands nearby, and the wolf tribe of the forest along one of their borders. Little did they know that was about to change.

In the warriors' den, a white, grey-flecked she-cat blinked open her icy blue eyes against the bright streams of light coming from the entrance of the den. She stretched and yawned, before padding out of her mossy nest to the cold air that awaited her outside.

"Finally, there you are!"

A creamy white she-cat with curly fur and bright blue-green eyes bounded towards her. "Come on, Blizzardpelt!" she meowed. "I told Icestar we would join the dawn patrol. Birchleaf and Crowwing are waiting for us."

"Woah! Snowfall, I just woke up!"

"I know, but I've got great news! Something just happened. Something we've been waiting for a long time."

"Well, what is it?"

"I'll tell you on patrol!" Then Snowfall trotted off to the camp entrance. Blizzardpelt was surprised- her sister wasn't usually this excited. And what was the "great news"? She had no choice but to pad after her.

Birchleaf and Crowwing were standing by the tunnel to exit the camp. Birchleaf gave Blizzardpelt a friendly smile as she stepped into it. The tunnel was dug for cats to slip under the icy walls of the camp and emerge on the other side. When Blizzardpelt climbed out, she saw that a new layer of snow had fallen overnight. It was untouched and sparkled in the sun, and the sky was cloudless, a clear blue that nearly matched her eyes.

"Bet I can catch more prey than you!" Snowfall challenged.

"You're on!"

The two cats sped off over the hills and toward the forest, leaving their Clanmates to try and catch up. Snowfall was fast, but Blizzardpelt was the fastest runner in the Clan. Her body was streamlined and agile, with sleek fur, long legs, and a long tail. She reached the evergreens first, and immediately began to look for prey. There was a scent trail leading deeper into the forest. Blizzardpelt stalked through the trees, her lightly-colored pelt blending easily into the background, each pawstep placed expertly as to not sink into the snow. Finally, she spotted a mouse searching for food. Blizzardpelt prepared to leap, and-

A white blur suddenly appeared in front of her, causing Blizzardpelt to stumble and fall face-first into the snow. She rolled onto her back and glared up at her sister, who was standing above her with the mouse in her jaws. "Snowfall!"

"Sorry, sis. Didn't see you there," the cream-colored cat grinned, then turned and darted away. Blizzardeplt rolled her eyes, then got up and focused once again on the hunt.

By the time they had finished, the hunting patrol had caught quite a bit of prey. As they deposited it onto the pile, Blizzardpelt noticed that Snowfall didn't have a lot. "Snowfall, you didn't catch much more than that mouse," she commented. Snowfall opened her mouth to repond, when suddenly their leader's yowl ran across the camp.

"Clan meeting! Gather at the highrock."

"Oh!" Snowfall's eyes lit up. "The kits are becoming apprentices!"

Blizzardpelt was confused. "How do you know?" she asked.

"Because we're gonna be their mentors."
