Warriors Fang of ice Chapter 1

A white she cat jolted awake with a yelp. Her icy blue eyes widened in horror. The cat looked around only to see other sleeping cats around her, obviously enjoying their dreams. The sun beamed in through the fern leaves, proving it was sun high. The pretty cat was panting as if she was exhausted. " Just a dream." She reminded herself quietly. She stood up to walk outside, but stepped on a fellow cats tail. " YEOW!!!," the dark gray tom screeched in a whisper ", Hey, Icefang, watch what you're doing, other warriors are trying to sleep here!!!" The enraged tom hissed quietly. Icefang looked into the green eyes of her deputy " Oops, sorry, Pepperheart." Icefang apologized. The deputy went back to sleep while Icefang continued to make her way out of the den. For a couple of seconds the morning sun blinded her, but when her eyes adjusted she saw a grassy clearing. The clearing was dipped inwards a little, making it look some what like a crater. On the outside of the dipped clearing, pointed rocks surrounded the camp  in a circle. The entrance was a large cavern hole, the outside looked like it was covered in green. That's because the outside part of the entrance was covered in vines, concealing it from any signs of danger. " I'm gonna visit Brokenleaf." Icefang sighed, thinking about her mother. " At least until Pepperheart wakes up." Icefang padded towards a large bramble thicket located on the opposite side of the entrance. She squeezed through the entrance of the den. Inside it were two elderly cats. One was a calico tom with amber eyes and a large scar on the right side of his flank. The other cat was a she cat with white fur with ginger splotches. She also had deep green eyes. The both of their fur looked unkempt and ragged as if they haven't been groomed in moons. " Hello Icefang." Brokenleaf welcomed. The tom cat yawned as he began to awaken from his slumber. " Can you keep it down," The old cat griped " I'm trying to get some sleep." Brokenleaf turned her burning green gaze over to her denmate. " Oh shut up Scarflank," Brokenleaf snapped " Not like we're warriors anymore anyway you old cat." Scarflank scoffed at her words. Brokenleaf rolled her eyes at him and turned to her daughter again. " Ignore him Icefang, he's just too old for his own good." Scarflank merely replied with another scoff. Brokenleaf ignored the stubborn elder and beckoned Icefang with her tail, hinting for her to come closer. Icefang obeyed and walked toward Brokenleaf, laying down in Brokenleaf's moss nest. " I heard that your apprentice, Featherpaw, is gonna be a warrior soon." Brokenleaf mowed, licking Icefangs' ear like a mother licking a tiny mewling kit. " Yeah, she is." Icefang yawned, getting drowsy from the ear licking. The feeling of the rhythmatic tongue strokes made her feel like a kit again. Icefang was so close to falling asleep until a loud familiar voice meowed and caught her before it happened. " Sleeping on the job, eh Icefang?" Icefang jolted awake, startled. She looked up and saw Pepperheart looking at her with seething anger and hatred. Icefang jumped up, startled. Pepperheart wouldn't let her talk. " If being a warrior is too tiring for you, then we could easily let you retire early and move you to the elders den." The deputy said with a smirk. Icefang was enraged but before she could snap back Brokenleaf cut into the conversation. " Hey, leave her alone," Brokenleaf snapped. "At least she's visiting her poor mother before she joins Starclan!!!" Pepperheart didn't know how to respond so he just walked away. " Thanks Brokenleaf." Icefang meowed. Brokenleaf smiled at Icefang. " No problem." Icefang said her goodbyes and walked outside. A gray tabby tom with sky blue eyes was padding over to Icefang. " Hey Fogstar." Icefang dipped her head as she greeted her leader. " Hey Icefang," Fogstar returned the greeting. " Hey I just came to tell you that your apprentice is gonna become a warrior at sundown tonight. Fogstar reported to Icefang. " Good." Icefang replied.  Icefang didn't want to, but she had to go see Pepperheart for her to know if she's gonna go on patrol today. She sighed " Well I need to see what patrol I'm gonna be in today, bye Fogstar." She dipped her head to her leader and ran off to find Pepperheart.

Pepperheart was located near the camp entrance. Icefang raced to Pepperheart where he was surrounded by a throng of cats. "Okay lastly, Icefang will be on border patrol with me, Dawnleap, Shadowhawk, Wolfpaw, and Featherpaw. All the rest of you go to your assigned groups." A pale cream colored she cat with energetic bright green eyes leaped towards Icefang. " YAY, we're gonna be in the same patrol together!" A she cat apprentice with a brownish ginger pelt and dark blue eyes followed her, she almost looked like a warrior. She wasn't as energetic as her accomplice. Icefang rubbed cheeks with the cream colored warrior. " I know, Dawnleap I overheard." Dawnleap saw Shadowhawk, A handsome dark gray tom with striking green eyes and an odd ginger patch on his back that closely resembled wings, walk up. " Shame that Ravenheart couldn't be with us." Shadowhawk mowed. " Well that demon douche, Pepperheart, put her in a hunting patrol with Shadowsoul" Dawnleap sighed. " Poor, Ravenheart. She'll probably get mauled by Shadowsoul when she's got her back turned." Dawnleap chuckled. Icefang snapped " Don't talk bad about Shadowsoul," The enraged cat remarked ", He's a sweet cat, he's just misunderstood!" Dawnleap was ashamed. " Okay I'm sorry, it was just a joke." " Well that was a little mean, Dawnleap." The apprentice cut in. Dawnleap was unaware of the apprentice, thus making her jump. " Wolfpaw when did you get here?" The startled Warrior remarked. " She was standing there the whole time, Dawnleap." Dawnleap was embarrassed " Oh,sorry." When Featherpaw and Pepperheart arrived they made their way to the entrance of the camp,padding their way through the vines. They were in a large grassy hollow that was shrouded with trees, blocking out parts of the sun. They continue walking to a large windy ravine, rocks pilled up on the right side of this ravine. Trees openly surrounded the ravine, making it vulnerable to attacks. This wasn't the border so they kept on going. They exit through a path on the left, passing numerous amounts of trees on the way. They eventually made it to a large hollow. The field had an arrangement of sunflowers decorating it. But a wide river cuts it off at the middle, water pouring into it via a large waterfall. The sound of the water hitting the river was so deafening that the cats voices were almost drowned out. Icefang continued to the rocks that lay beside the waterfall and began to mark their territory.  Once everyone was done they was gonna go on to the next border until a shrill scream sounded off. " HELP ME!!!!" It sounded like a she cat. " That sounded like Sliverpaw!!!" Shadowhawk yelled. Pepperheart opened his mouth to taste the air, collecting her fear scent. " SHE'S NOT THAT FAR AWAY," Pepperheart announced over the roaring waterfall. ", FOLLOW ME!!!" The border patrol cats began to race towards the screaming apprentice. Icefang was running so fast she felt as if she was flying. The scenery around her was nothing more then a blur as they tried to reach Sliverpaw in time. They were lead to a tall tree that had no leaves on it despite it being late Newleaf. A tiny white she cat with bright blue eyes was hanging from a thin branch on the tree. " HOLD ON SILVERPAW I'M COMING!!!" Pepperheart yowls. He unsheathed his claws and begun to climb the tree. Sinking his claws deep into the bark. He climbs and climbs until he made it to the top.  Icefang noticed that the branch couldn't support both of their weight. She opened her mouth to tell them till * CRACK *, the branch snapped and broke. Pepperheart and Silverpaw began to fall. Icefang looked around and saw a large boulder. Icefang jumped onto it and began to leap into the air. She caught Silverpaw by the scruff of her neck, completely forgetting about Pepperheart until she heard a crack from below. "OH STARCLAN NO!!!" Icefang thought in her head. Icefang landed on her paws. She put Silverpaw down and ran toward her deputy's stiff, lifeless, body. His neck snapped on impact, killing him instantly. "He's gone to live with StarClan now." Dawnleap sighed. "He had a good run as deputy." Shadowhawk mumbled. Wolfpaw cried at the loss of her mentor. Silverpaw cried as well, believing that it was her fault for the deputies death. With heavy hearts the cats dragged their deceased clanmate back home.
These are the cats of MoonClan, and they have lost their deputy.
