Meanwhile, Snowpaw was running away from Brindleheart because she was chasing Snowpaw. Brindleheart was about to kill Snowpaw when finally Blazeheart showed up and saved the day; almost.

Chapter 14

Snowpaw was scared. Now that Flameheart was here, would he and Blazeheart fight it out? Snowpaw looked around for help, but saw none. Meanwhile, the two toms were arguing away nearby.

"You killed my mate!"Flameheart shouted.

"It was never ment to be! You're from another clan!"spat Blazeheart.

Soon Snowpaw was too far away to hear them. A dreadful thought popped into her head. If that's how Blazeheart deals with cats from other clans being mates with eachother, what will happen if me and Hawkpaw get together? Then another thought came, He must still be in shock of what happened with Rainwhisker and Frecklestar. It's a shame, because Rainwhisker is so big and can fight really well...Snowpaw thought as she charged along. Once Snowpaw reached camp, she saw a bunch of warriors eating, sharing tounges, gently napping, heading to their nests, chatting, but she charged straight for Morningsong and Echomist. She knew they would help her.

Snowpaw bounded up to the two she-cats in the cold snow."We need your help!"

"What's happened?"Morningsong asked as she stood up.

"Well, see Flameheart was with Brindleheart of Thunderclan when they gave chase to me and Quillpaw and then Brindleheart was going to kill me and then Blazeheart saved me and killed her and now I'm afraid that Blazeheart and Flameheart are fighting!"Snowpaw panted all in one breath.

"Then we have no time to lose! Echomist, go into the warriors den and grab Goldenwing and Owlclaw, Snowpaw get Thunderpaw and Emberpaw, their apprenitces."Morningsong ordered. Snowpaw dashed off into the apprenitces den and poked Thunderpaw awake. Emberpaw was washing her pelt.

"We have an urgent situation! We must get you two going to the fight now!"Snowpaw meowed as she left. Emberpaw and Thunderpaw followed, both slightly confused. At the entrance to the camp Morningsong, Echomist, Goldenwing and Owlclaw were all waiting.

"Everyone ready?"Morningsong asked.

Goldenwing nodded.

"Good. I asked Creekwater, Silverpaw and Sweetwind to keep guard just in case."Morningsong quickly mewed before leading the group of cats out onto the moor."Snowpaw, lead the way."Morningsong ordered. Snowpaw charged ahead as not to waste any time. The nearly full moon glistened high above in the black sky, some stars shinging their weak light. A few clouds dotted the sky, but not many. The cats crunched through the snow and ice, and after what seemed like forever, they reached the spot where Flameheart and Blazeheart were fighting. The two toms had already racked up quite a bit of blood, Blazeheart bleeding from a severe wound on his shoulder, Flameheart's face was all bloody, but both toms still wanted to fight.

"Stop!"Morningsong called. She ran between the two angry cats."Why is there so much bloodshed between you two?"

"Ask him!"Flameheart spat at Blazeheart. He shook his head.

"I was protecting a clan mate from getting murdered by your 'mate'!"Blazeheart sneered back.

Morningsong hissed,"Be quiet! Both of you!"

Goldenwing bounded to Blazeheart, and Owlclaw to Flameheart to keep them from fighting.

"Echomist, I want you and Snowpaw to go find Ashstar immidietly!"Morningsong meowed with urgency. The two she-cats quickly raced off.

"I saw her last near the Thunderclan border,"Snowpaw told Echomist. She nodded as they kept going, and then suddenly haulted.

"What?"Snowpaw asked in a whisper.

"Look over there."Echomist pointed with her nose over to the holly bush."Look closely."

There was a grey pelt, along with a white one. They seemed to be...seemed to be...sharing touges! Snowpaw cauously stepped over the border line and sniffed closer. It smelt like Ashstar! Snowpaw wanted to seem like she wanted to keep her secret, so she looked at Echomist and meowed,

"I think it's Ashstar, but what do you think?"

Echomist sniffed all the way up to the holly bush. She was a fox-length away."There's no doubt about it; that's Ashstar and Blackstar!"Echomist said in a loud whisper. Blackstar's ear flicked back.

Both Snowpaw and Echomist froze."Ashstar!"Snowpaw called."We really need you back at camp! There was a fight between Blazeheart and Flameheart!"

Ashstar got up and padded towards them, and hissed,"Snowpaw! You broke my secret!"

"No! They made me coome get you and-and-"Snowpaw was cut off.

"LIES!"Blackstar roared.

Echomist arched her back and hissed,"You broke the warrior code, Ashstar! I'm not trusting you anymore!"then she raced off, and Snowpaw followed quickly.

(time skip)

Once Snowpaw and Echomist got back to camp, Echomist started telling everyone what she and Snowpaw saw. Everyone was devistated, especilly Morningsong, the deputy. Eventualy, Ashstar returned. The entire camp was chanting,"WE WANT ANSWERS! WE WANT ANSWERS! WE WATN ANSWERS!"over and over and over again they called. Finaly, Ashstar leaped onto the large sandy rock that was the addressing place for Windclan.

"I know, I broke the warrior code."Ashstar began, her head hung low between her front paws."I will wait for a punishment from Starclan. Meanwhile, Morningsong is your temporary leader. She'll solve all your problems."then Ashstar stood, and left to go to her den.

"Why did you choose Blackstar as a mate?"Echomist called.

"Should Ashstar remain leader?"Creekwater shouted.

"Should Ashstar be killed for her wrong-doings?"Flameheart yowled.

"I thought Ashstar was to set a good example for our kits!"Sweetwind hissed.

"QUIET!"Morningsong's voice rose above the chatter of all the others."We will address Ashstar's punishment tomorrow at sunrise. For now, Flameheart and Blazeheart were fighting and have gotten wounds. Both shall be punished by doing apprentice duities for 1 moon."Morningsong yowled. The clan stared at the two toms in wonderment."Also, several apprenitces are going to have 'battle' mentors because they are from Forestclan, not from any of our clans. Stormheart, Hollowwing, and Jaywhisker will share the reponsibility of training all 8 of the Forestclan apprentices battle skill training,"

"Who will train Whitepaw and Quillpaw?"

"I will train Whitepaw, and Quillpaw's mentor will be Hollyfrost. These are temporary. Oh and Creekwater, Silverpaw, and Applewing, please guard the entrance to the camp tonight. At Moonhigh you will switch off with Blazeheart, Flameheart, and Quillpaw and I. Good night."Morningsong jumped down from the rock and slipped into the warriors den. Snowpaw went into the apprenitces den, wishing dearly that Hawkpaw was there.

"Hey,"Heatherpaw meowed."How's your training going?"she asked Snowpaw.

"Fine. Like being an apprenitce?"Snowpaw replied as she circled her nest and got cozy.

"Yeah! It's so fun! We get to do WAY more than just being kits all day. And now I know I'm getting closer to being a warrior every day!"

Snowpaw nodded, and started to drift off to sleep, when Whitepaw came in. She sat up quickly."Everything all right, Whitepaw?"

"No. Now I'm stuck with Morningsong for a mentor. Blazeheart's hurt pretty bad. I think we should leave."Whitepaw meowed as he settled into his nest.

"Where would we go?"Snowpaw asked.

"Anywhere but here!"Whitepaw closed his eyes. Snowpaw layed back down. Sleep finally came to her.

(time skip to morning)

Pale dawn light filtered into the mouth of the tunnel. Snowpaw blinked herself awake. The entire clan, or at least most of the clan had gathered for the hearing of Ashstar's punishment. On the Sand Rock, stood Mousefang, the medicine cat.

"Starclan didn't choose me to have the dream, rather my apprenitce, Briarpaw."he stepped back to make room for her.

"My dream was clear,"Briarpaw began."Ashstar is no longer considered leader, but a prisoner of Windclan. There is someone else in this clan, who knows the other half of the dream. Morningsong, it is you."

"Yes, after Ashstar is made prisoner, she must be exiled in 1 moon, the time when Blazeheart and Flameheart are done with their apprenitce duities. If she isn't exiled, Windclan shall perish!"

"What about her kits?"Applewing yowled."Are they innocent?"

"I don't know,"Sweetwind answered."And I don't care!"

"Let me go get Ashstar,"Morningsong left and the clan heard a gasp."There are kits! There are 5 kits!"she came running back out.

"Now what?"someone growled.

Snowpaw leaped up onto the rock and into the den. Indeed, 5 small kits lay curled around Ashstar's belly, who looked dead. The 5 kits were all sorts of colors and patterns, and Snowpaw knew they couldn't die. She looked to Morningsong and mewed,"The kits must live."then Snowpaw picked a dark grey tom and carried him outside into the cold snow. Morningsong grapped a grey and white she-kit, and Mousefang brought out a black and grey tom. Briarpaw carried a black and white tom out. The last was grabbed by Birdfeather, whose belly was extremely round with her own kits due any day. He was a white, black, and grey mix.

"I think Snowpaw should get to name the one she carried, Morningsong hers, and so on and so fourth."Birdfeather mewed softly. The kits were taken into the nursery all set around Birdfeather's stomatch.

"I'm naming the dark kit Smokekit."Snowpaw meowed.

"This is Mistkit."Morningsong purred.

"I don't want to name him, here. Snowpaw, you name him."Mousefang gave the black and grey tom to Snowpaw.

"I'll call him...Shadekit."Snowpaw meowed softly.

"Everyone, meet Blackkit."Briarpaw meowed.

"And the last one is Breezekit,"Birdfeather meowed. At the mention of 'Breezekit', several cats shuddered.

"What's wrong with Breezekit?"Snowpaw asked.

Mousefang answered,"Not too long ago, there was a cat named Breezepelt, and he tried to take over the clan. That's the real reason why Onestar is dead..."

"He got murdered?"Snowpaw asked in alarm.

Morningsong nodded, "I was just made a warrior when that happened."

"I'm off to get some herbs. Good luck on the kits, Birdfeather."Mousefang meowed as he left the nursery. Over his shoulder he added,"C'mon Briarpaw."

The young apprentice quickly followed her mentor.

Morningsong sighed. It was her, Birdfeather, and Snowpaw left inside the nursery."I guess I better go organize patrols,"Morningsong mewed as she left. Snowpaw followed the deputy. She was already deep in conversation with other warriors.

"Crowfeather and Stoneclaw, I want you and your apprenitces to go check the borders."

"All of them?"Crowfeather asked.

"Yes."Morningsong replied. Crowfeather and Bronzepaw shot off like rockets. Stoneclaw and Moonpaw were just as fast.

As we've gotten more involved with the clan, we've all sort of split off and aren't acting like we're siblings anymore... Snowpaw thought sadly. As more warriors left camp, Snowpaw relized she didn't have an actual mentor.

"Morningsong?"Snowpaw padded up to the deputy a little nervous.

"Yes Snowpaw?"Morningsong meowed.

"I don't have a mentor,"Snowpaw said softly.

"You don't?"Morningsong says with a little bit of surprise and shock in her voice."Let's see...normally I'd say Sleetfur but he's monitering Blazeheart and Flameheart's duities...and so is Wildfern...but there's...hmmmmmmm...let me think...in camp we have Sweetwind, Brownfoot, Applewing and Fallowpool...well Sweetwind's never been a mentor, so let's see about her. Sweetwind! Come here!"

The stormy colored she-cat bounded over."Yes Morningsong?"

"I need you to become Snowpaw's permanent mentor. Ashstar...well...she isn't going to be around for much longer so I need you to mentor Snowpaw."

"Alright. This will be interesting, as you know I've never mentored before..."Sweetwind meowed.

"Yes, but you mothered 2 of your own kits, and 2 adopted kits. I think you're cut out for this job."Morningsong meowed with confidence.

"Well, anything you'd like to work on specificly?"Sweetwind asked Snowpaw.

"Can we join a hunting patrol?"Snowpaw asked polietly.

"Sure! Let's go!"Sweetwind dashed out of the camp, Snowpaw on her heels.

"Remember Sweetwind, this isn't your normal Windclan apprenitce! She's built more like a Thunderclan cat!"Morningsong called after them.

"So Snowpaw. Back at home, what does your clan normally do in terms of...special abilitys?"Sweetwind asked Snowpaw while they were eating prey they had caught.

"We climb trees. We hunt in trees real well. We'd live in trees, but they're too dangorus for kits and stuff."Snowpaw meowed through a mouthful of rabbit. Sweetwind had said it was okay to eat what they had caught, since they were going to be out here all day.

"Oh...Windclan has speed. We're the fastest clan. Thunderclan can stalk prey the best, Shadowclan can hunt at night, and Riverclan cats swim."Sweetwind said.

"Riverclan and Waterclan would be great friends! Waterclan swims too! Sunclan can survive the long, hot days of summer fine. They also run really fast, like cheetahs. Mudclan lives in a giant muddy swamp, and they have no problem living in such harsh conditions,"Snowpaw meowed to Sweetwind.

"Do the clans fight where you live?"

"I don't know...we've never had a battle, probably because my mother was so known and respected around all 4 clans that no one wanted to disturb the peace."

"I wish it were like that around here...cats accuse other cats of wrong-doings all the time...you get tired of it after awhile..."Sweetwind meowed sadly.

"Well it isn't always so peaceful,"Snowpaw thought of the reccent events with Rainwhisker in charge."We wouldn't be here if it was still peaceful..."

"What happened back home?"Sweetwind had taken a sudden intrest.

"Well, you see, Blazeheart was the deputy of the clan, because our leader, Foreststar, my mom, had reccently died, so now Frecklestar was leader, and then she brought Rainwhisker into camp...and then me and my brothers and sisters were amde apprenitces, and then Rainwhisker was my mentor, and then I had already hated him because he was from Waterclan, and then Rainwhisker was going to kill Blazeheart to become deputy...then now we think he took over the whole forest."Snowpaw shuddered at the thought. A horrible cat like him leading her beloved clan! Snowpaw felt like she should do something. Like they should do something.

"Let's contintue hunting."Sweetwind stood and streched her legs."Gosh, that's pretty horrible what happened to you and your friends."

"I know. Glad we got away from it all,"Snowpaw meowed. She got up and looked around. It was past sunhigh, and clouds had come in again, and it looked like a fercesome storm was coming.

"We better hurry if we want to get anything else,"Sweetwind said."Let's hunt in the open moors. Sometimes voles and shrews will leave their dens for food. Maybe we'll even see a white weasil."

The two she-cats headed off into the snowy moors. The sky was darkening with thick grey clouds.

There will definitly be more snow later...Snowpaw thought as she truged along. Suddenly, a thick gust of wind brought up a huge wave of snow. It scared Snowpaw and she gave a small yelp of surprise.

"You alright?"Sweetwind called from somewhere up ahead.

"Fine!"Snowpaw called back. She shook herself and kept walking. The snow was already up to Snowpaw's underbelly, and she hated the cold feeling of walking through it.

It's late Winter...shouldn't the snow be melting, not multipling? Snowpaw asked herself.

Snowpaw made it through the drifts and now was in a huge flat area. Sweetwind was crouched at the edge of the long grass.

"Now what?"Snowpaw asked Sweetwind.

"We wait to see if any animals get out..."Sweetwind whispered.

Snowpaw looked out at the vast expance of white snow and green grass. Suddenly, a small movement caught her eye.

"There."Snowpaw flicked her tail toward the small vole as it scurried along to the edge of the meadow and into the grass. Snowpaw took off after it. She saw it run towards its burrow again, but Snowpaw was faster. She zipped over to it and pounced. She bit its neck and brought it over to Sweetwind.

"Good job!"she praised Snowpaw."Let's go home now while we still can."

The two cats raced towards camp in the wind and snow. It had started falling quite heavily and Snowpaw was eager to get home and rest. The cats reached camp not a moment too soon. The cats were all in blind panic and everyone was darting this way and that.

"What's going on?"Sweetwind asked the nearest cat, Applewing.

"It's horrible! A blizzard has come, and Tigersong only has one kit! The rest are missing!"Applewing started her frantic search again. Snowpaw held tight to her vole and placed it in her nest for later.

"Which kit does she have?"Snowpaw asked Applewing.

"Featherkit. Streamkit and Tawnykit have white cough and need help! Rainkit could get white cough soon enough!"Applewing continued searching. It really was an emergency, and then Snowpaw got an idea.

Blackstar could've came and took the kits that weren't his! Snowpaw thought angerly. Suddenly, a small mew was coming from a rocky area in camp. The shelter! Snowpaw ran over there and thrusted off rocks two times the size of her. Once she got there, a fallen shape was on the ground. Two more kits were mewling in were Tawnykit and Streamkit; Rainkit had fallen. Snowpaw yowled,"I found the kits!"

She reached in with her muzzle and brought out Tawnykit first, then went back in for Streamkit. Hollowwing escorted them back to Tigersong, and Snowpaw went inside the rocky shelter for Rainkit. His back was badly injured, and Snowpaw didn't know if he was alive. Mousefang was there alomst immidietly, grabbing the kit and carrying him to his den. Snowpaw was exausted.

"Where's Morningsong?"Applewing asked, looking around.

"She's getting her nine lives,"Owlclaw replied.

"Actually, is Morningstar now."Morningstar replied."And on my way home, I figured out who the deputy shall be; Owlclaw."

"OWLCLAW! OWLCLAW! OWLCLAW! OWLCLAW!"the clan cheered for their new deputy.

"We must prepare for a harsh time ahead. What prey do we have?"Morningstar asked everyone.

I'm keeping my vole for myself...I don't know when I'll eat again...Snowpaw thought darkly.

"Snowpaw,"Sweetwind said."Didn't you catch a vole?"

DARN YOU SWEETWIND! Snowpaw went into the apprentices den and brought it out. There was also a rabbit, a mouse, a shrew, and, for some reason, a fish.

"Who caught the fish?"Morningsong asked.

"Quillpaw did on the stream."Flameheart defended his apprenitce.

"Everyone will eat today, though if you already have, rest."Morningsong ordered. Snowpaw slid into her nest in the dirt tunnel for a good night's rest.

When dawn finally came, no one was left in camp, the damage had been done. It was just Snowpaw, Quillpaw, Ravenpaw, Heatherpaw, Silverpaw, and the rest of the apprenitces. No warriors. No kits, queens or Morningstar.

OH SNAP! What happened? Well, I will say that a blizzered costs lives...

Anyway, well, next week is another gathering, and Blazeheart has decided to go...maybe...

ALSO, DON'T FORGET THE CONTEST MY FRIENDS! PEACE OUT!
