Rise of SnowClan - Chocolatemeerkat (bookreader .txt) 📗

Proilgue

The moon shone brightly over the dark forest. In a clearing, 3 cats stood. One was a old black tom. The other two were younger she-cats.
"We have to find the right cat soon. Time is running out." The old tom croaked.
"We will Blackeye, you'll see." One of the she-cats meowed.
"How do you know Pebblefish? Are you from the future!?" Blackeye snapped.
"Keep calm, don't scream your fur off." The last cat mewed, who was called Hawkheart. She then gasped. "I think I found the right cat!"
"What, that white she-cat with green eyes?" Blackeye yawned, looking at her.
"She's perfect!" Pebblefish cheered. The white she-cat looked at the starry pelts of Blackeye, Pebblefish and Hawkheart. She took a step towards them. "My name is Snow. Who are you?"
"My name is Hawkheart. This is Blackeye and that cat is Pebblefish. We need you."
"Why? I'm not special."
"You are now. For moons, we have been searching for cats who can lead a full clan of cats."
"So, what you are saying is you want me to lead a clan?"
"Yes. We will now grant your 9 lives."

After a while, Snow was now Snowstar, leader of Snowclan. Hawkheart had told her to go to the forest because other cats would be there. She had learnt so much in such a short space of time. Suddenly she picked up a scent. She followed it until it led to a clearing. Snowstar suddenly found herself face to face with other cats!

The new clan

Snowstar gazed at all the cats. They were big, small, fat, thin, young, old, strong and weak.
"I am Snowstar. Have you come to be in my clan?" Snowstar asked curiously. The cats nodded.
"Right, everyone can tell me their names. First, the elders." 3 cats stood up. A old black tom, like Blackeye came towards Snowstar. A thin white she-cat stepped foraward, followed by another black tom but this tom had hazel eyes.
"My name is Blackfire. I was mate of Rosepelt, but she rests with StarClan now."
"My name is Whitebone. I was a loner, rescued from the Twolegs."
"My name is Nighteye. I was a strong warrior until I injured my leg. It's fine now, but I am too old to be a warrior." The cats stepped back. The others told their names.

10 minutes later, Snowstar had finshed listening. The cat she remembered most was Badgerstripe, a handsome black tom with a white stripe going down his back. Suddenly she saw the perfect place for a camp. It was well protected, with a huge bush going around the side and a huge willow tree to one side. There was a river too, and everything they needed to make dens.
"We need to make dens, but we need prey. Lizardeye, lead a patrol. Take Moonpaw, Fishtail and Clawedear." Snowstar meowed. The 4 cats nodded and went away to hunt. The other cats started on dens apart from Snowstar, who went to the willow tree. It was perfect for her den. She streched her legs and yawned. It was a tiring journey to camp. Suddenly, Leafpaw came in laughing.
"Snowstar, Barkpaw was trying to be brave and stand on top of a bramble bush, but he fell in." Snowstar sighed and went to help the young apprentice. She pulled his scuff and dragged him out. Barkpaw walked off in shame to help carry sticks. Snowstar then felt someone brush up against her. It was Badgerstripe.
"The elder den is finshed." He mewed. Snowstar nodded and went to her den. She fell on her paws and went to sleep. She had to choose a deprty soon.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey join under.. this rock for a clan meeting!" Snowstar yowled. Her clan rushed to her at once.
"First of all, today has been hard, but we are all fine. We will get this sorted out soon. Second of all, I have deciced that the new deprty wil be Lizardeye!" The cats cheered for Lizardeye as he walked towards Snowstar, his head held up high. Snowstar dismissed the clan and went into the forest. She saw a sparrow. Snowstar crouched down, pounced and caught it.

New mentors

The next morning, Snowstar woke up strangly. She shook her head and walked into camp. She could see Lizardeye orginsing patrols and the elders swapping stories. Suddenly she heard a high-pitched squeal. It was Squirrelkit. She had been jumped on by her older brother Darkpaw. He was a sleek pitch black tom with evil amber eyes.
"Get off your sister Darkpaw! She's only 3 moons old and you are 7! Have some respect!" Duckfoot hissed. She was very angry with her son. She pulled Darkpaw off the terrorfied kit and groomed Squirrelkit. Snowstar sighed. She had to give Darkpaw a kind-hearted mentor to change his ways for good.

The next clan meeting was 1 hour after Snowstar had seen the unkind apprentice.
"The apprentices need mentors, so I will assign them now. Moonpaw. come here." Snowstar meowed. Moonpaw padded up to the rock.
"Moonpaw, your mentor will be Flightheart." Flightheart was a shy, quiet she-cat who didn't have many friends. She was delighted to have a apprentice.
"Leafpaw, come up with Barkpaw and Emeraldpaw." The 3 apprentices went up. Emeraldpaw was Barkpaw's sister.
"Leafpaw, your mentor will be Bramblefoot. Barkpaw's will be Bearpelt and Emeraldpaw's will be Littletail." Snowstar continued.
"Finally, Darkpaw and Cloudpaw, come up here." The tom and she-cat padded to the rock.
"Darkpaw, your mentor will be Riverstripe and Cloudpaw's will be Badgerstripe." Snowstar knew she would have to give Badgerstripe a mentor. Tiredly, Snowstar left the rock.

A new medicine cat

"Snowstar!" A voice whispered. Snowstar woke up. Cloudpaw was beside her.
"What is it?" Snowstar yawned.
"Quick! Something's happened to Littletail!" Snowstar ran out quickly to find Littletail covered in claw marks and scars. Her brother Shadowstep nudged her towards Snowstar.
"What happened?" Snowstar gasped.
"Littletail was out hunting with Emeraldpaw, Badgerstripe and me until this huge dog came out of nowhere! It attacked us, but Littletail was hurt the most." Cloudpaw wailed. Snowstar looked at the small she-cat. She felt sorry for her.
"Move out of the way! Let me through please!" A voice yelled. It was Ivyfur, a small brown she-cat with light blue eyes. "I know medicine cat training because my mother was a medicine cat! She broke the warrior code giving birth to me!" The clan gasped. Snowstar smiled. She had a idea.
"Ivyfur, if you know medicine cat training, would you like to be the medicine cat?"
"Sure! I'd love to!"

That night, Ivyfur went to the moonstone to share tongues with StarClan. Tonight was also the night something great happened. Shadowstep's mate, Robineye had her kits!
"Their names are Starkit and Bubblekit." Shadowstep meowed happily to Snowstar.
"Great!" Snowstar meowed. Suddenly, Moonpaw and Barkpaw fell from a tree, laughing.
"What's so funny?" Flightheart asked.
"Apprentice stuff." Moonpaw laughed. She and Barkpaw ran off to the apprentice den. Flightheart sighed and walked away.
"Snowstar!" A voice called. It was Clawedear. He came towards Snowstar with a kit beside his leg.
"What is it?" Snowstar asked.
"Ghostkit is ready to become a apprentice. She wants to be the medicine apprentice."
"I'll sort it out tonight, ok?"
"Fine with me. Bye!" Snowstar smiled as the tom walked away. She then smelt someone behind her. It was Badgerstripe!

The secret of Badgerstripe

"Hello." Snowstar mewed happily.
"Hello Snowstar. Have you seen Spottedflower? She wanted to speak with me." Badgerstripe meowed.
"She's on patrol. Why?"
"She said that she would speak to me about something."
"Wait, she's over there with Shadowstep and Robineye."
"Thanks!" Badgerstripe ran off to see Spottedflower, a light grey she-cat with white spots that looked like fallen petals. She was sister of Lizardeye. Snowstar noticed that Spottedflower whispered something to Badgerstripe, but what? It must have been good, because Badgerstripe purred loudly. Sighing, Snowstar padded away into the forest.

1 hour later, Snowstar heard a funny noise that sounded like giggling and purring. Silently she followed until it came to a small cave. Inside was Badgerstripe and another she-cat that wasn't SnowClan.
"Oh Badgerstripe, what have you done?" Snowstar mummered to herself. The she-cat was laughing at Badgerstripe and purring.
"Badgerstripe, are you sure no one knows about this?" The she-cat asked.
"No one knows." Badgerstripe replied. Snowstar knew what was going on. It was love! Furiously, she pounced onto the she-cat.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" Snowstar hissed.
"My name is Secondleaf and I am going to mate that tom! You can't stop me!" Secondleaf hissed back. She clawed Snowstar's muzzle.
Snowstar bit Secondleaf's ear hard and threw her
