This chapter takes place a little while after the last one.
Diclaimer: I don't own warriors get that through your head
"Snowcloud, Snowcloud" came a distant meow. Snowcloud lifted her head expecting to find herself in her comfy moss nest in the warrior den. As she looked around she found herself in the middle of the Grassclan camp srrounded by all the well know cats of her past and even a few she didn't recognize. Snowcloud looked in the direction she thought she heard hte voice came from. Turning around she saw her mate, Kindlepelt, looking warmly at her.
"We are glad you are here" the tom meowed.
"Why am I here?" question the shecat.
Another meow came from across the clearing it was Bluemoon the former leader. "I think that I can answer that" meowed the tom. His blue gray pelt sparkled with all the stars in the sky, and his eyes shone with all the knowledge in the forest. "A great danger is coming. Bigger then anything the forest has ever seen before. The threat of snow, wind, and ice will be greater than before"
All the starry cats began to disappear. Snowcloud thinking she was alone laid down to ponder what she had heard. "It's good to see you again." Snowcloud turned to see Kindlepelt standing behind her staring shyly at his paws.
"I missed you" Snowcloud replied, not really knowing what to say.
"So...How are the kits?" he asked trying to make conversation.
"Brackpaw may look like you but Cougarpaw has your attitude" Snowcloud meowed jokingly.
Kindlepelt let out a purr of laughter. He laid down beside her pressing his side against her warm fur. They both fell asleep.
When Snowcloud woke the next morning she found herself being half disappionted that the nest next to hers was cold and empty.
Suddenly a yowl errupted form the clearing. It was Cougarpaw. As Snowcloud stumbled out of the warriors den she found the clearing in the midst of chaos. All around her was the scent of Nightclan and death. She franticly looked around for her son. She found him, a big black tom had him pinned down ready to take the death blow. Snowcloud rushed ove rand bowled the tom over. Cougar rushed away to help Icepaw fight off her attacker. Snowcloud raked her claws oover the tom's soft underbelly. The tom twisted in pain and fled the camp schreeching.
Snowcloud looked around for her next opponent. Across the camp Ravenwing and Waterdrop matched their moves paw to paw as they fought.
It seemed for every enemy cat that fled the clearing tow more came in. They couldn't lose though, not in their own camp. Snowcloud looked around to see who needed the most help. She spotted Panther pelt battling with a black shecat infront of the nursury. Cougarpaw and Icepaw sent there attacker screeching out of camp. Jaemoon was locked in battle with two big shecats, so she decided to help her. Snowcloud drug the biggest off her leader and raked her claws down its side. The black cat turned on her. Snowcloud fell backward and the black shecat wasted no time in pinning her to the ground. The shecat raised her paw ready to deliver the death blow. Snowcloud squeezed her eyes shut knowing this was the end.
Suddenly the weight was lifted off of her. Snowcloud opened her eyes. Ravenwing was digging his claws into the NIghtclan cat's side. Snowcloud rushed to help him and together they drove the shecat from the camp.
All around them the Nightclan cats were running toward the exit of the Grassclan camp. Only a few remained and they were easily driven out.
There were only two fatalities that day the apprentice Applepaw went to join her foster mother in Moonclan along with Berrypaw. Snowcloud had a deep cut along her left flank that was bleeding heavily. Cougarpaw had a torn ear and Ravenwing's left front pad was cut open. All the other cat had varis cuts and scratches over their lean bodies.
After seeing that all the cats had been attended to Jademoon made her way to the Meeting Tree in the middle of camp. She bunched her haunches and lept onto her branch. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneth Meeting Tree for a clan meeting" she yowled.
All of the cats slowly made their way to the meeting spot and sat down.
"Today" began the brown shecat "there are two apprentices that deserve to join the ranks of our warriors." She beckoned to Icepaw and Cougarpaw to step forward. "By the power invested in me by Moonclan I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices they have trained hard to learned the ways of your noble code and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn. Do you Cougarpaw promise to up hold the warrior code even at the cost of your life?"
"I do" replied the tom.
"And Icepaw do you promise to up hold the warrior code even at the cost of your life?" question Jademoon again.
"Yes" meowed the shecat.
"Then I give you your warrior names. Cougarpaw from this day forward you will be know as Cougarclaw, and Icepaw from this day forward you will be known as Icestorm. Also as clan custom you shall sit silent vigil tonight in the center of camp, but first you may say good bye to your friends Applepaw and Berrypaw."
Snowcloud was over come with pride that her son was now a warrior, but she was also torn with grief that her daughter was dead.
"I thought this day would never come" Snowcloud turned to see Ravenwing standing beside her. "He will be a strong warrior just like his father."
"Yes he will" agreed Snowcloud. "Well I think I'm going to get some sleep so I'll be ready for dawn patrol tomorrow." Snowcloud got up and streached and went off in the direction of the warriors den. Then she remembered Berrypaw. She quickly turned around and walked to were her daughter laid to say good bye.
