Yay short chapter!
Slipping into her den, Icestar was confronted by a few cats, namely, anyone who got an apprentice. Pelts of different shades, like swirling flowers and leaves, surrounded her. She held her head high, but a small growl coursed through her throat-this was her den, not theirs.
"Icestar, why did you choose the apprentices the way you did? Paleflower wishes to not have an prentice, and Shadowfeather was just made a warrior," quipped a cat. Paleflower nodded.
"Icestar, we have lived long and I wish to rest for many moons till I join StarClan. You are more fit than I am, sister, I beg, I cannot take on an apprentice. Give your son to a more fit warrior, I cannot do it." Paleflower was really pleading, desperation in her eyes.
"Sister, you are as young as I am, you still have much life left in you. You will train Snowpaw, if I can train yet another apprentice, so can you." Raising her head and puffing her coat out slightly, she continued, "As for the rest of you, I chose the apprentices. Goldenpaw wants to take the road to be a medicine cat, and whom else but Fawnpelt would teach her? Lionclaw is brave and strong, and he and Tigerpaw will be mentor and apprentice!" Her hackles rose even more, "Paleflower, you will train Snowpaw, you still are young compared to others, you are vibrant and strong, and you are the right pair. Blazeheart! Rosepaw needs someone down to earth and wise, and you are the only cat to fill that job!" Her yowling filled the cave, and the other shrunk back.
"Mooncloud, I expected better of you! You are the only one who could train Stillpaw, you are patient and wise, you will do your duty! Sunfang has proven himself, you saw him in the battle!" her blue eyes were wild and glancing around the den. "Blackwing has trained many apprentices that have become fine warriors, and Shadowfeather, she and Sweetpaw need each other to do the best they can!" finishing her speech, Icestar screeched, "Get out!"
The others frantically rushed out of the den, afraid of their leader. No one dared to doubt Icestar again, they were too afraid.
Icestar: They were very annoying!
Yes, I'm sure they were. Now, shoo! I have to write another chapter!
