Now let's get to the story.

Tawnyfoot lay asleep in the warriors den as she felt something trickle down from outside of the den. Her ear twitched when she felt something hit it on the tip, the trickling continued before a patch of snow fell on her face from outside of the den. Her green eyes shot open as she was annoyed about the snow. She shook the snow off of her as she got up.

"I've had enough of the snow, it better be melting when I get out of this den." Tawnyfoot shouted annoyed by the long period of snow. She poked her head out as she saw that newleaf was still moons away and a harsh blizzard was howling outside. Tawnyfoot shivered as there was nothing but a blanket of white as the wind howled sweeping snow all over the place. A voice called out.

"Tawnyfoot?" The voice called out.

"Who's there?" Tawnyfoot called out nervously. No cat replied. Soon Toadleap poked his head out as he saw Tawnyfoot was up and about as he was curious about what was going on.

"Who's there?" Toadleap mewed but he got no response. He soon scratched his head in confusion. "I don't know who you are talking about but the snow is going to freeze us if we don't get back into our dens." Soon there was a motion in the blizzard as a battle scarred tabby tom was padding over to the den leaving no prints in the snow due to how ghostly he was. The two cats stood in there in shock. "Stormstrike, it can't be!" Toadleap fell backwards as he was seeing his spirit wandering about. Crowstorm was soon awake as he stuck his head out.

"What do you want Stormstrike, do you have anything to say?" Crowstorm mewed.

"I do, I would like to say that I'm grateful that Starclan gave me a second chance ever since my death, Stormpaw would make a fine warrior just like me. Thank you Tawnyfoot; I also miss having Mousetail with me and she seems pretty lonely as of lately." Stormstrike mewed into the howling wind.

"How did you even die in the first place?" Toadleap mewed poking his head out.

"My age caught up with me. That can happen to a cat living in their prime and then they seem to crawl into the elders den and let the other cats take care of them. But it feels like I can wander freely without any sense of pain running down my spine." Stormstrike responded as the wind picked up. "Tawnyfoot, the second trial begins this Newleaf, be prepared since the toms are starting to like you." Stormstrike soon vanished into the wind as the snow took chunks of his spirit away. Soon the three cats entered the den as they were wondering what he meant.

"What does he mean?" Tawnyfoot mewed. "Do the toms really like me this much to the point where I deserve this?"

"I think he's just babbling nonsense." Crowstorm sighed as he knew that the elder was known for dragging a conversation on longer than it should. "He's just saying this because we know that a tom wouldn't want you to be their first choice as a mate, plus you were my first apprentice and I was made a warrior two seasons ago."

"Come to think about it, Tawnypaw is pretty for her size." Toadleap admitted. He was blushing at the prospect of a beautiful she-cat standing right in front of him.

"Paws off of her, I don't think she's ready to have any more kits at the moment, she had two when she was just an apprentice." Crowstorm hissed warning him to stay away from her.

"Well he is right." Tawnyfoot admitted. She soon curled up as she fell back asleep with the two toms doing the same thing.

Contrary to this fanfiction, although they hibernated, they weren't true hibernators. This means they could wake up and do something when the snow wasn't blinding them like get something to drink, eat the herb storage to curb their hunger, treat a sickness they might have or make their dirt. Tawnyfoot soon woke up again as she looked out of the warrior's den, she wanted to go visit the medicine cat but she was holding off on that due to the blizzard. Thankfully the blizzard had stopped but large gray clouds loomed over their territories. Tawnyfoot soon began to creep her way out of the den but she was starting to sink into the snow, it was clear that the snow wasn't packed down and she was too heavy to move across the snow without sinking through. She soon came to Shadowstep's den as she was suffering from cold paws. Shadowstep looked over at her.

"Is there anything you need?" Shadowstep mewed. He was always awake but not leaving the safety of his den.

"I have cold paws and I would like to talk to you about something." Tawnyfoot mewed.

"What is it?" Shadowstep asked curiously, he looked around staring at the warrior as he was confused.

"Have you seen any strange Starclan cats last night?" Tawnyfoot asked curiously.

"No, I haven't, why?" Shadowstep responded as he was still puzzled by what she had meant.

"We saw Stormstrike's ghost last night in the blizzard." Tawnyfoot told him. She was waiting from a response from the medicine cat as she was worried.

"Well I haven't but I've heard what he meant and he also said about Starclan planting his mind into an apprentice's body." Shadowstep answered her.

"So he's Cinderpelt again?" Tawnyfoot mewed.

"Basically." Shadowstep responded bluntly. "Now hurry back to your den, I sense the winds are picking up again."

Tawnyfoot left Shadowstep's den as she trekked her way back to the warrior's den. The wind buffering off of her pelt as she was feeling the chill, snow was beginning to fall all around her. She entered the warriors den before the snow was turned into another harsh blizzard. The other cats were waiting for her as they were waiting on her.

"So what did he say?" Crowstorm asked her as he was curious about what the medicine cat said.

"He said he might have seen it but it is uncertain." Tawnyfoot responded. She soon looked around for a warm spot in the den to hunker down for the storm to pass.

"Well I'm glad that you got up and about." Crowstorm responded as he puts his head down on the cat as they soon dozed off back to sleep. Newleaf was on its way.

Beginning of Part 2

[A/N]: So we've hit over 1k views in a month and I'm excited about it since it feels like I've made something good. Also I'm wishing I would get more reviews from more people as it would mean a lot to me and the upload schedule has shifted a bit to where I can possibly make a chapter in the middle of the week depending on how busy I am. Also across all my stories for this month, I'm nearly at 1k views for this month which is a big accomplishment. I hope you all keep reading this story and find out what happens in part 2. Cheers.
