Rise of SnowClan, Chocolatemeerkat [top 5 books to read txt] 📗

StarClan honours you for your thirst for knowledge and courage." She rested her muzzle on her head. She did the same with Squirrelpaw and Morningpaw.
"From this day forward, you will be known as Squirrelfall. StarClan honours you for your swiftness and battle skills."
"From this day forward, you will be known as Morninghawk. StarClan honurs you for your thoughtfulness and good swimming skills."
"Emeraldtail! Squirrelfall! Morninghawk!" The clan shouted. The 3 new warriors looked very pleased. Fernpaw and Dustpaw were happy for Morninghawk.
"We must go now." Snowstar decided. She signaled her clan to follow her and they began their journey.

The next day, they came across a RainClan patrol, consiting of Sparrowsong, Tidalwave, Oceansplash and Pebblestep.
"Greetings, Snowstar. What brings you and your clan here?" Tidalwave asked, dipping his head respectfully.
"Greetings. Our camp was set on fire yesterday and we need a place to stay." Snowstar replied.
"Rainstar gave a promise that you were welcome to stay with us, so come on!" Sparrowsong chirped. The patrol led the tired clan to the safety of their camp. When they got there, SnowClan were welcome to stay. Sparrowsong had news to tell Lizardeye, so it was just good luck.
"I need to speak to you Lizardeye." Sparrowsong whispered.
"What is it thats troubling you?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Then why do you need to speak to me?"
"I'm expecting your kits!"
A long lost family member

"That's great Sparrowsong! I can't wait to see them!" Lizardeye purred, rubbing against her. Sparrowsong purred back and licked his cheek. She then went to speak to Tidalwave, who was eating a mouse. Lizardeye's heart skipped a beat. What was he doing? He hadn't mated Sparrowsong at all, so why was she expecting his kits? He already had someone in mind to mate, but he was unsure about her. Sighing, he left. Fernpaw was sitting there. She hadn't seen Lizardeye at all, she was more worried about Cloudpaw. She pictured that moment on the burning tree when Cloudpaw refused to be rescued to save her life. She cried quietly until someone came over to comfort her. It was Blazepaw.
"Are you ok sis?" He asked, his eyes looking at her face for once.
"I'm still guilty about Cloudpaw's death." Fernpaw muttered. Blazepaw had watched Fernpaw try to save her.
"It wasn't your fault. She wished to die to save you. One cat I know would be heartbroken if you died."
"Shut up."
"Ok, i'm sorry. I know your sad, but you won't be guitly about most things. For example, Badgerstripe and Sparrowsong are responsible for Shrededtail's and Fangpaw's death. The dogs killed 7 cats from this clan alone."
"I know Blazepaw, but Cloudpaw and Dustpaw were really good friends. I'm worried that.." She started to cry again softly. Blazepaw didn't like to see his sister upset, so he went to find Morninghawk and Bearpelt. They were 2 very close friends of her.
"Hey, it's not your fault that Cloudpaw died. It's ours. No one went back for her expect for you. You warned us about the fire. If you didn't, we'd be dead." Morninghawk mewed softly. Fernpaw stopped crying and gave a faint smile. Morninghawk smiled back.
"Lets go and get some rest." Fernpaw meowed. The 4 cats walked over to a oak tree, which blocked the sun. They yawned and went to sleep. Dustpaw bounded over and slept next to Fernpaw. Fernpaw felt a bit more happier.

(This is a dream. The prophecy cats only)
Fernpaw woke up. She was laying down on a tall rock. Blazepaw and Morninghawk were beside her on smaller rocks. 2 cats entered and Fernpaw smiled.
"There you are! We've been waiting for you to find us!" Morninghawk chirped, waking Blazepaw up.
"I see. We have something to show you. Come with us." Pebblefish meowed. She jumped down and the cats followed. Pebblefish led them into a bush. Here, a group of cats were running around.
"Who are these cats?" Fernpaw asked.
"It's your clan, mouse-brain." Pebblefish snorted.
"Is this some sort a vision?" Blazepaw asked.
"This is what will happen if you don't change your ways." Hawkheart meowed coldy. "Watch." In the middle, Heartfly was yowling in sorrow beside Bearpelt. Dustpaw layed in front of them, breathing heavily.
"How could they?" Heartfly cried. "Fernpaw should have never asked him to go onto the patrol with her!" Fernpaw's ears drooped. She would be reponsible for Dustpaw's death? How? Why? A vision of Fernpaw came over to them, crying. Heartfly hissed and clawed her muzzle. A vision of Cherrypaw, Rainpaw and Blazepaw came over, growling. They pounced onto Fernpaw and kept clawing her flank.
"Hawkheart! Don't let me see this! It's too horrible!" Fernpaw begged, sobbing.
"Ok, ok, easy. Let's leave." Hawkheart sighed. They returned back to the hill.
"Keep alert." Hawkheart meowed. "A cat will come and change your futures. If Snowstar allows her in, this won't happen. She will change your lives forever."
"Even mine?" Morninghawk asked.
"No, not yours i'm afraid." Pebblefish chuckled. Morninghawk's tail drooped sadly.
"Now go." Hawkheart whispered. The starry pelts disappered from sight.
When Fernpaw woke up, her friends had gone. It was very cold, and she was lost and alone. Fernpaw sighed and got up. The wind ruffled up her fur, but she didn't care. Suddenly she heard a crackle in the bushes. A flash of black and grey swept past. Fernpaw crouched down, ready to spring at the creature. Suddenly, she was being pinned down by very sharp claws. It was Bloodstar!
"This time, i'm going to kill you." He hissed. Fernpaw yowled and crawled away from him. She then pounced onto his head, trying to get a grip. Bloodstar charged into a tree, but Fernpaw jumped off and left Bloodstar with a huge cut on his head. He snarled angrily.
"You won't stop this coming." Bloodstar pounced onto her back and bit her ear. Fernpaw yowled in pain and whiped him off by spinning around. Her ear was pouring with blood and it hurt a lot. Bloodstar went for her again but something huge and silver shoved him out of the way. She clawed his flank 30 times and slit his ear within 5 minutes. Bloodstar retreated back home in anger and pain.
"Thanks, but who are you?" Fernpaw asked.
"My name is Silverclaw. Who are you?" The mysterious cat meowed.
"I am Fernpaw, a SnowClan apprentice. I am daughter of the leader."
"Ah, I think I might know the leader. Take me to her." Fernpaw nodded and led Sliverclaw to Rainstar's den. Here, the 2 leaders were talking and eating a fish each. They growled at Silverclaw, but Fernpaw told the whole story.
"May I speak with you Snowstar?" Silverclaw asked.
"Oh fine." Snowstar muttered. The she-cats walked off, leaving Fernpaw and Rainstar.
"Dustpaw and Morninghawk came in here looking for you. I suggest you head over to the Tallest Tree, they went there." Rainstar meowed. Fernpaw nodded and went to find Pebblestep.
"Can you take me to the Tallest Tree?" She asked.
"Sure! Come on!" Pebblestep chirped. They padded deep into the heart of the RainClan terrortory.

Some time later, Fernpaw was sitting by herself in a clearing, waiting for someone to come. The leaves blew and made a strange shape. Fernpaw looked at them closely. They made a arrow! Fernpaw followed the leaves curiously until they led to a huge tree.
"Welcome to the Tallest Tree!" A voice meowed kindly. It was Morninghawk. She was beside Dustpaw.
"There you are!" Fernpaw purred. The cats took one look at the huge tree.
"Bet you can't beat me to the top!" Fernpaw teased.
"It's impossible to climb to the very top, but you're on!" Morninghawk meowed. The 3 cats raced to the top. Suddenly, Fernpaw felt something claw her back. It was a squirrel! In attempt to fight it, she flipped over and clawed his head. The squirrel ran off. Fernpaw then realized she couldn't get a grip on the tree!
"Help me!" She shouted to her friends. Dustpaw climbed up faster and grabed Fernpaw by the scuff. He then was starting fall and soon they both fell out of the tree! They landed on the ground with a bang!
"Ow..." Dustpaw groaned.
"Are you ok?" Fernpaw asked, getting off him. Dustpaw had cusioned her fall, so he was quite badly hurt. Fernpaw looked at his leg. He had a bad scrach on it and his face was badly scarred. The cats returned back to the camp, limping.

After Ivyfur checked them over, they returned to their dens. RainClan allowed the frightened cats to sleep in their dens. Fernpaw had made friends with Mudpaw, a shy she-cat. She had dark brown fur with hazel eyes.
"So you've been fleeing from this fire?" Mudpaw meowed.
"Yes, we have. It was awful. I even let my friend die." Fernpaw mewed sadly. "Snowstar's been praying to StarClan that we'll find a new camp or our camp is save enough to return. Fernpaw told all of the RainClan apprenetices about what happened, and how she blamed herself for Cloudpaw's death.
"It wasn't your fault." Dustpaw meowed softly. Silverclaw entered the den after Dustpaw had finshed.
"I'm allowed to stay. Snowstar does know me, she is my sister."
Fernpaw gasped. So, Silverclaw was her long lost aunt?
"Where were you and Snowstar born?" Blazepaw asked, sitting next to Cherrypaw.
"Us? We were born as loners. Our mother was called Berry. We had 1 brother, Tooth. He unfortantly died when we were attacked by rouges. When we were 10 moons, Berry died and we had to live with the other loners." Silverclaw meowed.
"But how did you earn a warrior name and Snowstar was just given the title as SnowClan leader when she was called Snow?" Fernpaw asked.
"Snow thought she had no value in the group, so she ran away. I was given the warrior name of Silverclaw because I stayed."
"But why did you stay?"
"I was in love with a tom called Wind. He wanted me to stay, so I did."
"Then why did you leave?"
"He didn't really love me. He was just flirting with me. He mated Jewel, a young she-cat who was no friend of mine. I ran away." Silverclaw then left the den silently.
"Poor her." Mudpaw meowed.

About 1 moon later, the camp had improved enough to go home. The SnowClan cats said goodbye to the RainClan cats.
"Goodbye Mudpaw. See you at the next gathering!" Fernpaw mewed. Lizardeye said bye to Sparrowsong, but she had other plans.
"Please stay with me." She whispered.
"I can't, you know why. I am a loyal SnowClan deprty and I am happy where I am. I do love you Sparrowsong." Lizardeye meowed.
"Then if you do, stay with me in RainClan!"
"I'm over the moon to be deprty here, so I can't. I must go now, Whitebone's got a bad leg. Goodbye, Sparrowsong. I love you." He left quietly. Sparrowsong cried with sorrow. Fernpaw knew that today was the day that Swiftkit and Wildkit would become apprentices. They proved to be loyal and didn't even know they were BloodClan. She sighed and stopped.
"What's wrong?" Shadowstep asked.
"Nothing." Fernpaw said
