Snowkit's P.O.V.
A dazzling beam of light flashed through an opening in the nursery. Despite the freezing air, the sunshine warmed Snowkit's fur anyway. She yawned widely, exposing a top and bottom set of perfect white, pointy teeth. She blinked her eyes open tiredly, rolling over to seek the warmth of Icecloud's fur. To her disappointment, Icecloud and Sparrowkit, along with the other Queens and kits, had left her by herself in the nursery. She rose from her curled position to stretch her legs and shook out her white fur that hung in messy clumps.
"Snowkit!" Sparrowkit tumbled into the nursery, excitement vivid in his face. "Hurry! Thewe's a clan meeting and Icecloud said we could watch!" He squeaked, his words blurring together.
"Weally? We'll be like weal warriows!" She squeaked triumphantly before racing her brother to the clearing. There sat a very worried Icecloud and Bumblestripe, their parents. "Oh Snowkit! Your a mess!" Icecloud scolded her as she vigorously brushed her rough tongue against Snowkit's fur at a weak attempt to smooth it down.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the High Rock for a clan meeting." Firestar's voice boomed from above. He sat on the large stone in the center of the clearing, his bright orange pelt glistening like flames in the sunshine.
"Just a few moments ago Dustpelt reported to me another sighting of ShadowClan crossing the border. Only this time, there was specific evidence of them hunting on our territory." Firestar spoke calmly, though his voice was tinged with anger.
"That's right, bird feathers and rabbit blood!" A voice in the crowd-Dustpelt's- spoke out.
Firestar nodded, acknowledging his comment, then continued on, "For the past moon there have been suspicions of ShadowClan trespassing. Today we will confront them about it. We will warn Blackstar that if it does not stop, we will take more advanced action."
A sudden growl interrupted Firestar's speech. "Firestar, you are aware of the omen I shared with you, and yet you still want to just talk?" Jayfeather narrowed his blind eyes, a challenging look within them. An omen? What was that? Snowkit had only heard of an omen as a passing word when Sorreltail was telling her kits a story.
Many shouts being to rise from the surrounding cats. "An omen! What was it? Was it a prophecy of doom?" A few voices shriek out. Firestar flicks his tail impatiently and yowls, "Enough!" Once he has everyone's attention again, he meows in a softer, yet harsher, voice. "Yes Jayfeather, I am aware. But I was not have any unnecessary blood spilled." A few moans escaped from some of her clanmates at this piece of news.
"There's going to be a battle!" Sparrowkit whispered to her nervously. "Might be, "she corrected him, "Firestar said they were going to talk, not fight."
"Firestar, don't you remember what happened with WindClan? Every clan thinks we are weak because we are to scared to fight. I hear it at Gatherings all the time. The Warrior Code teaches us to protect our Clan, even at the cost of our life. That means in battle. We need to take action, show ShadowClan that we are a force to be reckoned with." Greystripe meowed calmly, meeting Firestar's smoldering stare with even eyes.
Wow, she thought, this is intense!
"I agree as well." Brambleclaw meowed quietly, eyes fixated on his paws. A few other cats murmured their agreements as well. After a long pause of silence Firestar growled,
"Very well. I am not saying that we will fight, at least not yet anyway. Brackenfur, Brambleclaw, Thornclaw, Cloudtail, and Sandstorm, meet me in my den immediately. Everyone else is dismissed." He leaped off of the HighRock, his powerful muscles rippling under his thick pelt. Suddenly she was being ushered into the nursery by her mother.
"Come on little ones, you must be hungry." Her mother cooed them in her soothing voice. Even though Snowkit's stomach was growling, she wasn't hungry. She wanted to know what Firestar and the other warriors were talking about, why they had to talk in secret. Before she could protest, Icecloud had already mumbled a goodbye to Bumblestripe and we were inside the nursery.
One day, she vowed, I'm going kill all the ShadowClan cats who dare think of trespassing! I will be the strongest warrior ThunderClan has ever seen!
