Chapter 1

It was moonhigh (midnight) when I was dropped off about a mile from our destination, Thunderclan. I was put down on soft moss, and as I looked up I knew this would be the last time I ever saw my mother.

Her deep, dark chocolate eyes were misty as she burned my image into her mind for however long she lived.

"I love you, I will always love you, my daughter, your name shall be Iceheart. For not only your icy blue eyes and pelt as white as ice, but also for your kind, loving, caring heart. You are only four months old, but I know you will survive and forever remember these words I speak to you now. No matter what anyone calls you, you are, and will always be, Iceheart."

"Please don't leave," I said, " I want to stay with you!! You're my mom! You're supposed to take car of me until I'm old enough to take care of myself!!!!" I screeched.

"Just calm down and remember…" she whispered in my ear. My eyes and ears were glued shut now. I dimly heard my mother say her last words to me, "Remember your name, remember that I will always love you, and remember that no matter what happens…" Then nothing. Silence. No sight. No sound.

'DAMNIT!!!!!!!!' I mentally shouted. THIS FRICKIN SUCKED!!!!!!!!!

I could dimly hear the sound of a newborn kit mewling for its mother. It was me!!!!!!! I could hardly believe it!!!!! I was left to die by my parents, and now I was mewling like a newborn kit (which I was). Could this day get any worse????
