Icecloud's Pov
Today was a gathering. I knew this because I woke to Lionblaze's not to hushed whispers. I raised my head and left to my white paws quickly wanting to move quickly so that I could groom in peace.
However my quick change from asleep to fully awake and up had scared startled Lionblaze.
Lionblaze jumped almost a foot in the air and his claws caught my left shoulder.
I instantly was on all four paws with my claws digging into the ground, my ice blue eyes narrowed, My mouth pulled back in a snarl, and my snow white tail flicking back and forth.
"I'm so sorry, you scared me" Lionblaze explained as I stalked out of the den shooting him no more than a cold glare.
"I'm fine" I said quickly walking away.
I groomed my pelt before the ceremony, maybe a little better than normal though I couldn't fathom why?
OH, Ferretface or uh… Ferretclaw. Though last night I wasn't really thinking, I mean he was from a different clan and a complete… jock… It would never work… Would it?
I shook my head as Bramblestar listed off the names of people going to the gathering.
I'll think about that later.

I shook out my fur as Starlingwing told me to that it was time to get up, Well more like yelled "GET UP LAZY MOUSEBRAIN"
I stood and groomed my pelt. Starlingwing and Tigerheart gaped at me.
"What?" I asked.
"YOU GOT UP" Starlingwing said like it was the end of the world.
I rolled my eyes and Tigerheart smirked "Who are you trying to impress, Pinenose? Dawnpelt?"
"No one" I said rolling my eyes. Then Pinenose and Dawnpelt walked in.
Dawnpelt was a cream furred she-cat with bright green eyes. She was very shy and reserved to everyone but Pinenose. Pinenose had a sleek pure black pelt and bright yellow eyes. She was a complete daredevil but had a kind heart.
And No I didn't miss the way Pinenose was giving Tigerheart a smirk while he grinned at her. What happened there? I wondered.
My gaze shifted to Dawnpelt who was standing awkwardly beside Pinenose while Starlingwing practically stared at her. I stepped on his Dark ginger paw which made him hiss in pain as his sharp green gaze landed on my dark blue eyes.
I flicked an ear towards the she-cats and rolled my eyes.
Dawnpelt and Pinenose were both very pretty but I wanted a feisty and sweet she-cat.
The image of 'Beautiful' or Icecloud came into a view. She was definitely Feisty and seemed sweet. And the nickname I gave her fit. She was beautiful.
But she was Thunderclan.
And wasn't she dating that big golden and russet tom from that prophecy.
She had to have been running away from the direction of Thunderclan camp though for a reason.
I Shook my head to clear my head I had to see if I was going to that gathering today.
If I do I will see Icecloud.
Oh Starclan! Why can't I get that she-cat out of my head!

When we arrived at the gathering I saw that my ally and only friend, Hazeltail, was once again falling all over my brother, Foxleap.
The only other Thunderclan cats my age that got to come to the gathering were Lionblaze and Cinderheart which were walking over to Hazeltail and Foxleap.
Leaving me to be a loner.
'Well thanks friend, thanks Brother'
Then it hit me. The truth came like a sharp claws that wrapped around a bruised and battered heart.
I was an outcast in my own clan. An outcast with unborn kits and a broken heart.
I snapped out of my thoughts when movement caught my line of vision. I turned to see an all-too-familiar tom padding towards me.
"Did you miss me Beautiful?" Ferretclaw said.
"Not at all Ferret-brain" I quipped.
Then his deep dark blue eyes widened, "You're bleeding"
"What" I said then spotted the dried blood on my shoulder. I quickly began to lick it away quickly saying "I'm fine"
Three cuts and lines of missing fur coated my shoulder. Ferretclaw stiffened, "whoever did that I swear-"
I cut him off. "I'm fine" but I accidently glanced at Lionblaze and Cinderheart on instinct.
"Did he do that" Ferretclaw hissed his claws sliding out.
"On accident, I'm fine, it's nothing" I said quickly laying my tail on his shoulder, like I did my brother or friends… or Lionblaze.
He soon relaxed enough to notice my tail which he smirked at. I quickly tugged my tail away. "Don't get any idea's" I warned but a smile graced my lips.
"Whatever you want beautiful" He replied smirking.
How does he cheer me up so easily?
My gaze shifted to the left and I saw bright green eyes and a pure snow white she-cat.
"Snowleaf" I hissed taking a step back.
The cats eyes watched me coldly, "Sister, Did you miss me?"
Then she snuck back in the undergrowth. Leaving me with almost no breath.
Because a deadly secret might be reveled.
Okay so the story should get more exciting now with Icecloud and Snowleaf, and the Ferretclaw and Icecloud relationship will begin to become stronger. -Leopardfang
