A/N: Plutodragon, thanks for all your character submissions, I think you and HHQFandoms are the OC submitting queens, she sent me a lot in my inbox XD
The prophecy seems super cool.
I will do that installment next :)
Sparkie, I will add Shadow, but did you forget about your other characters who don't have bios yet? XD
So, I decided that I'm going to focus on one clan for like a whole story I guess, and then go to the next clan, hopefully by the time it comes to be BogClan's turn, the clan will have shrunk, but I doubt it XD
"Get up, it's time to go on patrol!" Dustyfall meowed sharply.
Frostpaw groaned, and turned over in his nest. He wanted to tell Dustyfall to give him a little bit more time to sleep, but he was too tired to get the words out.
"Now Frostpaw, you're not a kit anymore, you have a responsibility to your clan."
That didn't come from his mentor, that came from his father.
Frostpaw quickly got to his paws, now feeling wide awake.
Standing around his nest, were Dustyfall, Snowstorm, and Coldpaw.
"Come on, let's get a move on, we've been wasting enough time trying to wake you up," Snowstorm grumbled.
"What about Mistpaw?" Frostpaw asked, glancing over at his sister, who was still fast asleep in her nest.
"There's been a little change in the patrols, instead of doing the dawn border patrol with Bloomtuft and Mistpaw, you and Dustyfall are doing it with Coldpaw and myself."
Frostpaw turned to Dustyfall, though his mentor could be a bit strict, he wasn't nearly as scary as Snowstorm. He knew he shouldn't be afraid of his own father, but he couldn't help it.
"Why?"
"Because, that's what Hawkeye decided, now stop asking stupid questions, and come on before LeafClan decides to invade while we're in camp, not taking care of marking the territories," Snowstorm spat.
"Last time I checked, Frostpaw was my apprentice," Dustyfall meowed lowly, with the fur on his neck bristling.
Snowstorm lashed his tail, as he stared down Dustyfall.
"And he's my son."
Dustyfall turned to Coldpaw.
"Come on Coldpaw, let's go re-do the scent markers at the river first."
Coldpaw meowed something, but it was too quiet, that Frostpaw couldn't hear. However, he couldn't help but to notice that she was shaking, and he didn't think that it was from the cold.
"What are you doing?" Snowstorm spat, completely oblivious to the way Coldpaw was trembling, "She is my apprentice!"
"Well, you were trying to tell my apprentice what to do."
"That is enough!" Sleetpaw exclaimed, leaping out of his nest, with anger shining in his eyes, "Why don't you just do the border patrol like you're supposed to instead of arguing like newly named apprentices?"
Both the older cats looked shocked for a moment, before Snowstorm growled lowly.
"That is no way to talk to your father."
"Or the cats who out-rank you," Dustyfall spat.
Instead of backing down and apologizing like Frostpaw knew he would if he was in that position, Sleetpaw held his ground.
"I'm sorry if I'm being disrespectful but don't you see what you're doing to Coldpaw? She's having an anxiety attack for StarClan's sake!"
Snowstorm glanced at his apprentice, who was trembling harder than before, and emitting small, high pitched gasps.
"Stop that now!" he spat at her, "What will you do when it comes time to battle with another clan? Are you just going to stand there, acting like some fish out of water?"
Coldpaw drew back, lowering herself to the ground, and staring with her eyes opened almost as wide as the moon on gathering nights.
Sleetpaw stood between Coldpaw and Snowstorm, puffing himself up to look twice his size.
"Leave her alone, can't you see that you're not helping?"
"Just because your mentor coddles you, doesn't mean that I will be the same way with my apprentice, you pathetic excuse of a son!"
For a moment, Frostpaw saw pain flash through his brother's eyes, but it was quickly replaced with anger.
"What is going on here? Why aren't you on border patrol yet?" Hawkeye demanded as he stomped into the apprentice's den.
"Sorry Hawkeye, we've just been having a little trouble with our apprentices," Snowstorm meowed.
"Well, whatever trouble you're having, deal with it when you get back, those scent markers aren't going to re-mark themselves," Hawkeye meowed, before padding back out of the den.
"Come on, let's go," Dustyfall meowed.
As the cats started making their way out of the den, Frostpaw turned back to his brother.
"You need to watch your tongue around our father," he hissed lowly, before trailing after the group.
As they padded through the spruce trees, Frostpaw was glad to see that Coldpaw was no longer having an anxiety attack.
He thought about talking to her, but he didn't want to anger his father by doing so.
After walking in uncomfortable silence for what seemed like moons, Frostpaw spotted the river.
As he got closer, he saw that the current was strong, strong enough to pull a cat down, losing them forever, if they weren't careful.
He also spotted giant pieces of ice floating around in it.
"Looks like the river isn't frozen over anymore," Dustyfall remarked.
"Wow really? I never would have guessed," Snowstorm grumbled, rolling his eyes.
Dustyfall meowed something back, though his words were drowned out by a sharp howl, a howl that sounded nothing like the moon, it sounded evil.
Every hair on Frostpaw's pelt rose.
"What was that?" Coldpaw gasped. Frostpaw saw that her fur was bristled as well.
"It was a wolf," Dustyfall meowed, the fur on his neck was standing on end, and his tail was poofed out, "We must warn the clan."
"Not until we re-set the scent markers," Snowstorm meowed firmly.
Dustyfall let out a sigh.
"Okay, let's hurry though, the wolf could be really close."
Frostpaw felt a shiver go down his spine, he didn't know what a wolf was, but from the way Dustyfall had reacted, and from how it sounded, he knew it wasn't anything good.
"Come on Coldpaw, you can help," Snowstorm meowed.
"You too Frostpaw."
The two apprentices padded towards the river together, Frostpaw noticed tht Coldpaw was beginning to tremble harder and harder with each step she took towards the river.
"Any day now Coldpaw!" Snowstorm spat.
The apprentice let out a small gasp, and raced towards the river. Frostpaw's breath caught in his throat, when she slipped, and plunged head first into the icy waters.
"Coldpaw!" he yowled, going as fast, but still watching so that he didn't fall, to the river as he could.
When he reached the edge, he saw Coldpaw's head bob up through the icy waters, and her front legs thrashing around frantically.
"Grab a piece of ice!" Dustyfall yowled.
It didn't seem like she heard them though, because she kept thrashing around.
"Someone help her!" Frostpaw exclaimed.
"No, it's too dangerous," Snowstorm meowed.
For once, not feeling afraid of his father, Frostpaw went to the edge of the water, and took a deep breath.
He was about to dive in to try to save Coldpaw, when a large wave came crashing over her.
He stood there, waiting for what seemed like moons, but she didn't resurface.
The next thing that happened, was teeth digging into his scruff, pulling him away.
"She's gone," Dustyfall meowed once he had released him, "There's nothing we can do."
Frostpaw looked at the river, the cold dark river that had swallowed his denmate, he closed his eyes, and shook his head, she didn't deserve that, no cat did.
He then opened his eyes, to find himself standing a few fox-lengths away from the river, and to his surprise, Coldpaw was standing there next to him.
He wanted to ask her how she was there, when he had just witnessed her death, but he couldn't get the words to come out.
As he studied her, he noticed that her pelt was dry, save from up to her belly, where she had been walking through the snow.
"Looks like the river isn't frozen over anymore," Dustyfall remarked.
Frostpaw stared at his mentor with confusion, why was he saying that again?
"Wow really? I never would have guessed," Snowstorm grumbled, rolling his eyes.
That had happened before too!
Before even hearing the howl that he knew was coming, Frostpaw's fur stood on end.
Once again, Dustyfall and Snowstorm argued about going to warn the clan, when they decided on re-setting the scent markers first, before going to warn the other cats.
"Don't go," Frostpaw hissed at Coldpaw, as she started making her way to the river.
"I have to, Snowstorm will have my pelt if I don't," she meowed sadly.
"Any day now Coldpaw!" Snowstorm spat.
"No!" Frostpaw yowled, when Coldpaw started to run towards the river.
He ran after her, and just as she started to slip, he grabbed her by her scruff, pulling her back.
"Y-You saved my life," Coldpaw stammered, shivering so hard, that for a moment, Frostpaw was worried that she was having the shakes just like his brother.
Frostpaw just nodded, feeling too overwhelmed to say anything, what in the name of StarClan just happened?
