Ravenheart shivered as she saw the jagged path to the ice cliffs. The good thing was that the protruding chunks of ice would conceal her from the coyotes that would be watching from the camp. The bad thing was that this path was already dangerous without the added factor of melting ice. She stepped forward anyway. Blizzardcloud followed close by.
"We'll get to the Clan or die trying." he said "For Frostpelt."
"And Willowmoon," Ravenheart added "And the whole Clan."
Sealfin had never been so scared. She had been made a warrior just a couple days ago, and here she was, a deputy, leading her leader to certain doom. Sealfin was still so small none of the coyotes would think anything of her.
Not that she thought anything of herself. She cost her leader a life, for StarClan's sake. Ripplestar would probably die in this battle because of her.
"Sealfin!" Ripplestar's whisper sliced through the air. "Watch out, you were about to march over the border. We're being stealthy, remember?" Sealfin saw a dark silhouette on the top of the hill and sank into the snow.
"Sorry." she whispered, and dragged herself forward, still flat in the snow. She could feel the snow shifting nearby where Ripplestar followed. The coyote on the hill was much easier to see now. He looked as if he was sniffing the air. Sealfin froze.
"There's no point in sneaking anymore. They're about to find us anyway. We'll attack- NOW!"
Blizzardcloud walked ahead of Ravenheart, testing the ice every pawstep.
Nothing can happen to Ravenheart. If she falls, we're all doomed. Blizzardcloud thought. There was a crack. Blizzardcloud twisted around. A crack was forming from where Ravenheart had put her paw.
"Ravenheart, be careful! Get away from the crack!"
"It's small, lighten up. Nothing will happen." She stepped forward and her hind paw slipped on the wet ice. She skidded over an edge of the cliff. Blizzardcloud gasped, but before he could launch himself forward he heard her voice.
"It's okay, Blizzardcloud. I fell in a cave. No, wait- this is a tunnel! I think it leads through the border! Come here, it's a much safer way there."
Blizzardcloud obeyed, launching himself off the edge. He felt his hind paw brush ice, but he kept falling. Ravenheart's shocked yowl rang in his ears. He'd missed the cave! Blizzardcloud landed on the snow with a thud, and everything went black.
Will Blizzardcloud live? Actually, since Blizzardcloud represents my little brother, if my little brother makes me mad between now and when I update again, Blizzardcloud DIES! (I may kill him anyway, though.)
