Chapter 2

Icepool found herself looking face-to-face with the mysterious Windclan warrior. She had the same evil looking stare, only after looking for a long moment, they didn't look so scary. Instead, she saw a sweet loving cat.

"Rain will fall on Ice, Dawn, and Raven,

The Clouds shall cover Ice,

And Thunder, River, Wind, and Shadow are legends."

Icepool woke up and saw Leafpool sorting the stock.

"Are you okay?" she asked, "You kept mumbling in your sleep. It sounded ...strange."

"Oh, um," Icepool studered, "It was nothing."

Icepool got up feeling embarrassed. Then she walked out the entrance to see how Firestar was doing with the fox problem. So she walked into the clearing and saw that Firestar was leaving the camp alone. Slowly, she took the secret escape route to follow him.

She kept out of sight by keeping at least 5 tail lengths away and using mostly scent to follow him. At one point he climbed a tree and she almost ended up right underneath him. Luckily she realized it in time and managed to jump into a bush disguising the rustling with a squirrel that had just jumped into the same bush. And she ate that squirrel for extra energy, because she was half way to WindClan territory with no food eaten yet.

As she kept going they got closer to the lake, and the scent of WindClan grew stronger, and she could hear the poring of water into the lake. As they neared the border, she also caught a slight whiff of ShadowClan, probably from early that morning. At the border, she saw some wet paw prints. And the only cats who would get in the water are RiverClan. Something was going on here, and Firestar didn't tell anyone. Or maybe he told…

When right at the boarder, she lifted her head from the scent trail and saw the strange warrior looking at her from across the river. She saw the same look in her eyes from the warrior in her dream.

"Um," for a moment she thought the sweet voice she herd was from her own. But it was the warriors. "I should get back to camp," said the warrior, and she walked back into her territory, and so did Icepool.

"Hey Leafpool," asked Icepool, "Why is it so wrong to have friends in other clans?"

"Well think about Icepool," she started, "what if you went into battle against each other? What would you do if your friend died by your own family?"

"Oh," responded Icepool quietly, "Never mind then."

They were in their den around sunhigh. Icepool was about to get some sleep before the gathering, and Leafpool was making sure they had a full supply for leaf-bare. Icepool was lying in her nest and she remembered the strange warrior from WindClan. That's when she asked Leafpool. She decided she was going to meet her at the gathering that night. Then she went to sleep.

Icepool walked across the fallen tree and walked into the center of the island, then sat down in her normal spot, but found the clearing empty. Except for two cats, one looking up at the tree, the other climbing the tree to a branch that she had never seen before. The warrior in the tree was gray with dark gray stripes, lighter grey feet, and the same light gray shade as a star on her forehead.

The other warrior was the same WindClan warrior again.

"What's going on?" Icepool shouted to StarClan, "Why do I keep seeing this warrior? And who is the other one?"

The next thing she saw was the sitting in the warriors spot and saw herself and the gray warrior from her view.

"Wow," was all she could get out of her mouth. But then she woke up from a sudden shaking.

"Icepool! Come on! Time to go!"

Icepool walked across the fallen tree and walked into the center of the island, then sat down in her normal spot, and looked around the clearing. She saw the two warriors again, but instead of the gray one in the tree, she was walking over to the warrior. She watched the two for a while until they turned there heads to her, and she quickly looked down at her paws.

When she looked back they were talking again. Then she heard the leaders sound and she looked to the tree, though she never paid that much attention. She couldn't get her mind off the warriors. Were they talking about her? Did they have the same dream she had?

After the gathering, Icepool followed ThunderClan off the island like usual. Only she noticed the white and black warrior wasn't with WindClan. She turned around and saw her swimming back to the gathering island. Quietly she followed her onto the island, keeping low and quiet.

When she got out of the water she noticed the water instantly fell off her fur. After recovering from shock, she saw the gray warrior climbing the tree onto Leopardstar's spot.

"This is awesome!" she said, "I wish I was at least deputy, I could sit on the roots and look up to them."

"I don't really want to be deputy," said the other warrior looking up to the gray warrior, "they might mistake my clan for evil."

"You don't look evil," said Icepool. The she-cats turned, "you look nice."

"Ya right," she said, "I saw the way u looked at me before."

"Well I was wrong, you look nice."

"You owe me a fish Dawnleaf," said the other cat out of nowhere.

"Fine," Dawnleaf answered, "just show me how to catch one first."

"What?" Icepool asked, confused.

"I told her I would catch her a fish if you came," admitted Dawnleaf, "I didn't think you would. Mouse dung. I wish I didn't do that with you Ravenheart. I should have taken the warning when you said you always win."

"Did I miss something," Icepool asked, "How did you know I would come?"

"Well it might sound weird but," started Ravenheart, "but we had dreams from StarClan to come here."

"Really?" said Icepool, "I kind of did too."

"Ya," said Dawnleaf, "Don't you think it's weird that three normal warriors from different clans would have dreams like that huh?"

"Totally," answered Ravenheart.

"Uh, hate to break it to you," started Icepool, "I'm not a warrior.

"What?" they said at once.

"You know, moonpool, healing clan, your own den, and no kits?"

They just stood there for a long moment.

"Um," said Dawnleaf, "how did I not notice! I thought you were a warrior and you had herbs in your mouth! I need to pay attention more."

"Calm down," said Icepool, "I forgive you."

"Good."

The three talked all night till they realized the moon was setting, and then they rushed back to camp to get some sleep.

"Well someone had a small amount of sleep."

Icepool was jolted awake by the sound of Leafpool's voice, "Huh?" she said still sleepy.

"You stayed on the gathering island till almost dawn," she said, "what did I tell you about making friends in other clans?"

"But Leafpool!" Icepool pleaded, "I had just met them, and they felt like kin to me!"

"It doesn't matter Icepool! You can't just make friends in other clans! What if we go to battle?"

"I thought you said medicine cats stayed out of clan fueds," mentioned Icepool angrily.

After a long moment Leafpool said, "Just get some extra sleep. We'll talk later."
