Snowpelt's P.O.V
It's been five moons since we were exiled from Windclan. I saw Lionblaze, a Thunderclan warrior, being guarded by two Shadowclan warriors. I also saw warriors guarding me and a silver and grey she-cat being guarded as well. I tried to stand but my leg was in pain. I looked at my back leg and saw that it was bleeding and no one would do anything. When I looked back at Lionblaze a black tom walked in the way and sat right in front of him. He started to talk to Lionblaze and when they were done they both had scratches on them but Lionblaze had more. The tom went over to the she-cat and they fought just like Lionblaze did and she was bleeding badly on her face and flank. He started coming over to me but a black she-cat came up to him and he started to follow her. It didn't look like Darkfang but she looked like my sister, Lightningclaw. She shot me a warning glance with her bright amber eyes and knew it was her. Her golden stripe was gone though. She must have used mud to hide her stripe. A silver tom leaped out of the shadows and clawed the cats gaurding me.
I raced over to Lionblaze and clawed the cats gaurding him. Lionblaze jumped and landed on one of them. He clawed his flank and yowled at the silver she-cat. She nodded and leaped over the Shadowclan warriors. Lightningclaw had returned with the tom on her tail. I started to run but fell when my leg twisted. Lightningclaw ran over and grabbed my scruff and someone else grabbed my legs so they wouldn't drag. They raced out of the Shadowclan's camp and went to the moonpool. Everyone looked exhausted and the silver she-cat had followed us. I was ready to lay down and take a nap but they saved us we had to talk.
"Thanks you guys."
"No problem sis, oh and you remember Darkfang and Silverclaw right?" She said pointing at the silver tom and another black she-cat.
When I heard her name I growled and bared my fangs. Silverclaw and Darkfang were traitors to the warrior code all together. Why were they helping my sister more or less why are they even here?
"Its ok Snowpelt they are in the prophecy we got when we were kits. And we think you're apart of the prophecy as well."
That made sense because Lightningclaw was in the prophecy and we are sisters.
"Make sense but since we're all full blood Windclan cats maybe the other cats from the prophecy are from the other three clans?"
"Maybe but we need find them soon the Dark Forest will be rising soon. We need to hurry."
We nodded and the grey she-cat asked, "Can help in anyway?"
"Of course you can Silverheart. Can you warn the other clans that the Dark Forest is rising and the clans will be destroyed if we don't do something soon. Even warn the Shadowclan warrior, Lionfrost, he is only alivie from listening to Death but he's scared out of his mind." Lighningclaw said.
She nodded. Lightningclaw led us to the lake and we cleaned our wounds. After that we planned to meet at the moonpool every claw moon. I followed Lightningclaw into Thunderclan territory. Lightningclaw hunted before we went into camp. I hunted but only caught one squirrel. As we walked into camp Bramblestar greeted us. He was a muscular dark brown tabby with amber eyes. A she-cat was walking behind him and she smiled at Lightningclaw. She was a dark ginger she-cat and had green eyes and a white paw. Lightningclaw went over to the fresh-kill pile and set her prey down. She nodded and I set my squirrel down.
Lightningclaw's P.O.V
"Lightningclaw this is your sister Snowpelt, correct?"
"Yes this is my sister Snowpelt."
"I'll announce her arrival once you show her around."
"Ok Bramblestar."
I walked over to Snowpelt and told her that I would show how to hunt, fight, and the territory for awhile until she knew like the back of her paw.
"Do you want to start now?"
"Yea sure Snowpelt. I'll show you the fighting moves I know, they aren't to hard."
We went to the training hollow. She stood a few fox lengths away. She leaped at me but I ducked and rolled to the left. She looked at me and I glared at her. I lunged for her underbelly but my paws hit the ground and I jumped onto her back. I pinned her down. Her green eyes, were locked on to something or someone behind me, she was terrified. I got off of her and turned behind me and saw Snowtuft.
"What do you want?"
"The same thing we always have wanted since you came to the Dark Forest. We want you on our side for this war."
"That's not happening Snowtuft. I am loyal to Starclan and you'll never stop me from fulfilling the prophecy."
"Fine if thats how you want it Lightningclaw."
He signaled with his tail and Mapleshade, Maggottail, and Clearshade, a Shadowclan warrior.
"Lightningclaw who are these cats and how do they know you?"
"I'll tell you later but you have to help me. If they attack they will try to kill you so be careful."
I looked Snowtuft in the eyes and he lunged at me but then he leaped to the left and tackled Snowpelt. I wanted to help her but Clearshade and Mapleshade lunged at me. I clawed Clearshade's underbelly and he collapsed to the ground. He was on their side not ours, he choose his loyalty. I thought. I turned and Mapleshade clawed my face. I tripped over Snowtuft and he fell. Snowpelt pinned Snowtuft down and I got up to face Mapleshade. I lunged for her but she leaped to the side and I landed on my paw. My paw was twisted and Mapleshade was leaping at me. I was trapped.
Raintail's P.O.V
I walked by the Windclan territory with Foxclaw. We had hunted and caught two squirrels, three rabbits, and five crows. The fresh-kill plie would be really full. I heard a yowl from about seven fox lengths away. I smelled the air and realized Lightningclaw and Snowpelt were in trouble. I dropped my prey and raced away leaving Foxclaw behind in wonder. I ran to the training clearing and seen Lightningclaw's paw was twisted and Snowpelt was pinning down a white tom with a scar along his stomach that snaked up to his ear. Lightningclaw was facing a maple colored she-cat with a red aura just like the white tom. When the she-cat lunged I leaped in front of her. I knocked her from underneath and she stumbled back to where she was standing. Snowpelt was laying on the ground and Snowtft, the cat I had remembered from the war the warriors had told me as an apprentice, was gone. I turned back and saw Lightningclaw limping towards Snowpelt. She grabbed her by the scruff and limped back to camp. "Hey Lightningclaw wait."
She turned around and looked at me with her amber eyes. "What is it Raintail?"
"I'll carry Snowpelt. You can hardly walk, don't put to much on pressure on yourself."
"I can do things by myself thank you very much." She growled.
"Ok. I was just trying to help."
She turned around and limped away."
That's weird she used to be my friend. Did she know my secret? I turned and raced away to where I had dropped my prey. Foxclaw was still there and I told her what happened.
"Raintail who do you like more? Me or that rabbit-chaser?"
She was my friend and I didn't think I would have to choose.
"She's still my friend and your my friend I can't choose."
"I thought we were more than friends Raintail by I guess you're not ready." Foxclaw said with tears in her eyes. She grabbed her prey and raced away.
"Wait Foxclaw, I didn't mean it like that!" Great now the two she-cats that I like hate me.
I grabbed up my prey and padded back to camp. I had to make things right with them before they hate me forever. I started to run but tripped on something. The prey flew out of my mouth and I landed on my on side. I tried to get up but someone was on top of me. I looked up and saw that Snowtuft was on top of me. I tried kicking free but he was just too strong. I growled, "Let me go. I don't want anything to do with you any more."
"Wrong Raintail once you promise to stay loyal to us there is no way out of it. You're just as jealous as friends everyone wants to be on top but only the strong can survive. I want you to do something for that will crush a warrior so loyal she'll fall into our paws."
"You're talking about Foxclaw."
"No not at all. She isn't the one were after."
I thought about who else but the only other she-cat was Lightningclaw. Grr the she-cat I really like. She wwon't go down without a fight thats for sure.
"You're talking about Lightningclaw. I won't kill her and I won't get her to join." I growled.
"Fine if thats your choice." He raised his jaw and was ready to bite my throat when a black cat leaped and tackled Snowtuft.
It was Lightningclaw.
Dun Dun Dun. Will Raintail kill his wounded clan-mate or will he protect her. Comment, vote, and share. :) Thanks for reading my story. :D
