I don't own Warriors, it belongs to the amazing Author Erin Hunter! I only own the Characters, plot and the Clan's in this story.

Prologue

I stared up into Cinderfrost's cold and emotionless amber gaze, as the rest of the Clan stood horror-struck, watching with wide-eyed gazes, as they all stared at Cinderfrost.

"W-what?" I managed to Squeaked, as I looked at all of the gathered cats in the clearing.

"You heard me! You and Nightsong are here by exiled from SnowClan." Cinderfrost hissed, narrowing her eyes and lashing her tail.

"B-but why? Did Brightstar-" But I was cut off by Cinderfrost, who hissed angrily at me.

"Shut it! Who care's what Brightstar says, I'm the deputy, and Brightstar isn't here right now so I'm in charge!" Cinderfrost snapped, and I lowered my gaze and stared down at my paws. I looked back up at the dark ginger she-cat with fearful amber eyes.

"Cinderfrost, this is insane! My daughter has done nothing wrong, what do you have against my kit?" My mother, a dark tortoiseshell she-cat with amber eyes that were blazing with hot and boiling anger, hissing angrily, my mother stocked up to Cinderfrost with an icy glair on her face and her fur bristling. The dark tortoiseshell queen stepped forward, and glared up at the SnowClan deputy.

"Hold your tongue, Dawnflower." Cinderfrost snarled, but there's no stopping an angry mother defending her kit, I had been born with two littermates, Rainkit and Willowkit, but they both died from white cough. I was the only one who survived.

"Dawnflower is right, what do you have against our daughter?" My father, Ravenclaw yowled, narrowing his icy blue eyes at Cinderfrost. My father was a large tom with jet black fur and icy blue eyes.

"SHUT UP! BOTH OF YOU! STORMPAW, NIGHTSONG, YOU ARE BOTH EXILED FROM SNOWCLAN, NOW LEAVE AND NEVER RETURN!" Cinderfrost yowled, and I looked to my mentor and with one last tearful glance to my parents, me and Nightsong fled, running out of SnowClan's territory and deep into the forest.

"NIGHTSONG, STORMPAW, WIAIT FOR US! WE WANT TO COME WITH YOU!" Me and Nightsong spun around calmly to see my two best friends, Cinderpaw and Spottedpaw, followed closely by their mentors, Icewing and Shadowpelt.

"What are you four Mouse-brained cats doing?" Nightsong hissed, lashing her tail and narrowing her eyes at the two young apprentices and the two older warriors.

"We weren't just going to leave Stormpaw alone and your SnowClan's only medicine cat. What in the name of StarClan was Cinderfrost thinking? Brightstar lost her temper when she found out what happened, but Cinderfrost's two followers, Rosepetal and Mistyfeather are like bowing at Cinderfrost's every command." Spottedpaw hissed, the dark tortoiseshell she-cat was lashing her tail back and forth and her amber eyes were glowing with fury.

"Yeah, and we can't just let them go alone. We're their mentors." Icewing meowed, and Shadowpelt nodded in agreement with her friends statement.

"Umm... Spottedpaw? I wouldn't say that if I were you." Shadowpelt hissed into her ear, Spottedpaw blinked in confusion and Shadowpelt pointed with her tail behind her at two young cats.

"We heard everything that you just said, Spottedpaw." Said a voice from behind us. We all turned to see Rosepetal and Mistyfeather standing about a fox-length away from us.

"And we don't follow her every command." Mistyfeather mewed, rolling her eyes and flicking her tail from side to side.

"Yes you do! Don't deny it!" Cinderpaw snapped, hissing and flexing her claws.

"What other choice did we have? She's a crazy cat who wants to lead our Clan into darkness and dispair." Rosepetal quietly mewed, looking down at her paws as Mistyfeather stared at us.

"She's our mother, but that doesn't mean we like her!" Mistyfeather hissed, lashing her tail and narrowing her icy blue eyes.

Rosepetal and Mistyfeather were young warriors, they had been given their warrior names a few quarter moons ago. I looked over to my mentor, who sighed but nodded her head.

"Very well, you two may come with us." Nightsong mewed, nodding her head at both Rosepetal and Mistyfeather.

"Where are we going Nightsong?" Cinderpaw asked, staring up at the former medicine cat of SnowClan.

"We're going to MoonClan to see if they will help us." The black and white she-cat replied, and we all nodded our heads in agreement.
