Rise of SnowClan - Chocolatemeerkat (bookreader .txt) 📗

in delight and licked his cheek.
"We'd better get going now before he returns." Falconpaw said. Everyone agreed and started to go.
"Bye Rose! Thanks for everything! I wish you, Bronze and your kits well!" Fernwhisker called to her friend.
"Bye! Good luck with your kits!" Rose replied. That was the last of the SnowClan cats they saw.

That night, everyone was delighted to know that Fernwhisker was safely back. Shadowstep and Robineye greifed for the loss of their daughter until Puffinpaw returned with a little she-cat beside her.
"I believe you two are looking for your daughter?" She asked. Bubblepaw ran to her parents and they licked her mattered fur.
"I found her walking through the forest by herself." Puffinpaw then left to find Ivyfur. Bubblepaw went to see Fernwhisker.
"Thank goodness you're safe!" She explained.
"Yeah, yeah, big deal." Bubblepaw replied sadly.
"What's wrong? You're normally chirpy and full of energy!2"
"Something bad happened to me."
"What?"
"I mated Shadow."
"But.. he is so evil! And you're too young! How?"
"Well, after he kidnapped me, he took me over the fence and into a bigger bush. His attatude then changed and he became all kind and friendly to me. He then looked at me with his black eyes and I just stared at them. I somehow was enchanted by them and Shadow seemed to get closer and closer to me. When I finally stopped staring, it was too late. The mating process was done and I could do nothing but run."
"You should tell Snowstar about it!"
"I fear him, so I won't." Fernwhisker nodded sadly and Bubblepaw left quietly, leaving a mouse behind. Fernwhisker then felt pain.
"The kits are coming!" She yowled. Ivyfur and Puffinpaw rushed in with herbs in their jaws. They got to work as soon as they arrived. Duststorm waited outside and talked to Lizardeye and Riverstripe.
"Have you seen Spottedflower's kits?" Riverstripe said with a smile.
"I didn't even know she kitted!" Duststorm laughed.
"There were 2, both silverish-grey toms. The only diffrence is one has white stripes and one has no markings. The striped kit is called Streamkit and his brother is Blankkit."
"Great! Morninghawk's are great too!" Lizardeye added.
"How many?" Riverstripe asked.
"4. 3 toms and a she-cat."
"Names?"
"The toms are called Bramblekit, Eaglekit and Treekit. The she-cat is Stonekit." Ivyfur poked her head around the nursery entrence.
"You've defently got your paws full." She joked, padding out with Puffinpaw. Duststorm took a deep breath and walked in. Here, Fernwhisker was suckling 6 kits!
"6? That's amazing!" He explained, licking her cheek.
"Yep, equal too. 3 toms and 3 she-cats." Fernwhisker added. "I've thought of a name for the black tom. Should we go with Sootkit?"
"Great name. And the white tom could be Icekit and the brown tom with the black spots could be Frogkit."
"Toms sorted. Now she-cats. I thought Flowerkit would be good for the grey tabby and Puddlekit for the blueish-grey one."
"The last one is white with black spots."
"Um... Leopardkit?"
"Good name."
"So, it's Sootkit, Icekit, Frogkit, Flowerkit, Puddlekit and Leopardkit?"
"Yes." Morninghawk looked at Fernwhisker's kits in great intrest.
"Well done!" She said to her friend.
"Thank you." Fernwhisker replied. Soon, other cats began to come in to look at the 6 little kits. Indeed, Fernwhisker and Duststorm would have their paws full! Snowstar padded into the nursery with Badgerstripe.
"I'm only 35 moons old and I'm a grandparent!" She chuckled to Badgerstripe.
"I'm 40 moons old." He said back to his mate, rubbing against her. Blazestrike eventully sneaked in and gasped. He was incredibly jealous of his sister. He pictured Cherrypaw there, but she was in the medicine den, not being able to walk or even leave the den. Blazestrike was heart-broken, but he had his eye on Moonsky, who's family was unknown. She was sitting by herself in the clearing, grooming her fur.
"Hi Moonsky!" Blazestrike meowed.
"Hello Blazestrike." Moonsky sighed, sitting up to face him.
"What's wrong?" He asked her, sitting down beside her.
"Oh, nothing. Just looked up at the sky. It's beautiful at moonhigh."
"I see. You just looked like you were worried about something." Blazestrike got up and started to leave.
"Wait, there is something, but you must swear by StarClan that you won't tell anyone. Clear?" Moonsky called after him.
"I swear." Blazestrike promised, despite his was normally cold-hearted.
"Well, I.. am not SnowClan born in any way. I am one of the last surviours of the ancient clan."
Moonsky's past

"But.. how?" Blazestrike gasped. He thought that most cats in the clan, with the acception of Snowstar and Silverclaw, did have some connection with SnowClan!
"Yes, I was found in the forest as a young, 10 moon old cat. I was tired and scared." Moonsky meowed sadly, looking down at her paws. "I was a member of FoxClan, led by Wolfstar. She was a noble leader indeed."
"But you hardly knew her!" Blazestrike protested.
"Ooh, really?" Moonsky's eyes narrowed. "My good friend was Fawnpaw, a medicine apprentice. She received a dream from StarClan that one cat would be born twice, not once. Everyone thought it would be Wolfstar, because of her 9 lives. But they were wrong, very wrong. Allow me to explain."
"I'm listening."

(Flashback)
Peaceheart woke up and opened her light blue eyes. Her kits were now warriors, and she could now relax without worrying about them. She was fine. Flowertail, Sheepeyes and Moonwing were fine warriors indeed. Flowertail and Moonwing were she-cats, while Sheepeyes was a handsome tom. Her mate, Crookedfur had died saving Moonwing from a dog.
"Hey, you." A voice meowed. It was Viperstrike, a tom that had taken a intrest in Peaceheart since Crookedfur had died. She just sighed and turned away.
"Peaceheart, can I speak to you?" Viperstrike asked.
"Why?" Peaceheart mumbled. Thankfully, Moonwing entered and told Viperstrike to back off from her mother and quit flirting or she would tell Cloudsoul, his mate. Viperstrike then backed off.
"Thanks Moonwing. How's your apprentice?" Peaceheart meowed in her soft voice.
"Sunpaw? He's doing great, almost ready to become a warrior." Moonwing purred.
"That's nice to know. Made any friends?"
"Well, I am good friends with Frogleap, Smallfoot, Petalflight, Hawkpelt, Badgerstep and of course, Fawnpaw. My bestest friends thought are Petalflight, Fawnpaw, Crowfur and Owlclaw."
"Good, good. Like anyone?"
"Mum!" Peaceheart chuckled and licked her daughter's ear.
"Come on, not too painful."
"I don't really like anyone. Sheepeyes has got his eye on Flygrowl and Flowertail seems to like Rockfang." Moonwing sighed.
"I thought you had a tiny crush on Owlclaw?" Moonwing was silent. It was true that she liked Owlclaw, but wished not to tell him until the time was right. Now was not right.
"I'm going out. Bye." Moonwing said quickly, changing the subject. She left the den and bumped into Ripplehiss, the deprty!
"I'm so sorry!" She apolgised, looking embrassed.
"It's fine, just be careful next time." Ripplehiss mumbled to himself. He walked off.
"Next time, don't be blind!" A voice giggled. It was Petalflight. She was with Flygrowl and Dogchase.
"You scared me!" Moonwing gasped, standing up.
"Good! Have you seen the state Leapingtail's in? She's stressing, and Fawnpaw can't calm her down." Flygrowl meowed. Moonwing rushed to the medicine den, where Leapingtail, the medicine cat of FoxClan, was sighing quietly and not looking up.
"Please tell me, who is it? Who is the cat StarClan spoke of?" Fawnpaw urged her mentor.
"Hello Fawnpaw!" Moonwing chirped brightly.
"Oh, hello Moonwing." Fawnpaw mewed quickly. "Sorry, Leapingtail said she knows who the cat in the dream was."
"What dream?"
"Don't worry, it's medicine cat stuff."
"Please Fawnpaw, you're my best friend!"
"Ok, but don't tell anyone."
"I swear by StarClan."
"Right, a few nights ago, StarClan sent me a dream. The former medicine cat of FoxClan, Bearlegs, told me that a cat would reborn after death. I had a feeling it was Wolfstar, because of her 9 lives, but Leapingtail said it wasn't."
"But.. that's impossible!"
"That's what I said, but she said it was true. She told me Wolfstar only lives once, not twice."
"No she doesn't!"
"Well, she stays the same 'ol Wolfstar everytime she looses a life."
"Oh." Leapingtail then looked up with her amber eyes. They were full of confussion and hope.
"The cat.. is.. a cat with fur like snow." She mumbled before staying silent.
"But who is it!?" Fawnpaw begged, sounding annoyed. Leapingtail did not speak at all.
"So, it's a cat with fur like snow, how confusing." Moonwing muttered. Owlclaw then padded in with Cloudsoul.
"We were on the hunting patrol and while Chickenpaw was getting a squirrel, it jumped onto me and scrached my shoulder." He meowed. Fawnpaw nodded and went to find some herbs to treat the scrach.
"Moonwing, I need to speak to you. Meet me on the cliff." Owlclaw told Moonwing. She nodded and left. Before the other 4 clans, FoxClan lived facing a beach. It was very rocky, but they had to be careful of SandClan. They lived directly below them on the beach, and they were very strict about the rocks falling on their terrortory. They gave permission for FoxClan to have the cliffs, but nowhere else below. If any cat fell down the cliff, they were likely to die or break some bones. Moonwing laid down by the cliff and sighed. She could see Seastar orgainising patrols.. and Crabface. He seemed to be very close to the medicine cats in FoxClan. Fawnpaw didn't like him one bit, but Leapingtail liked talking to the warrior at gatherings. Owlclaw them arrived and Moonwing took her mind off Crabface.
"2 reasons why I need to speak to you." He meowed, looking serious.
"Why, what's happened?" Moonwing asked, her eyes clouded with worry.
"Do you know why Leapingtail has been acting strangly?"
"No, why?"
"Did you know that she's been sneaking out late?"
"No! Has she?"
"Yes, she has. I followed her and she went down over our boarder with SandClan."
"But.. why?"
"I saw her with Crabface." Moonwing gasped in horror.
"Yes, heard me right, that cat who led GhostClan to attack his own clan."
"What did they do?"
"Well, Leapingtail said something about breaking the warrior code and Crabface just purred and touched her shoulder with the tip of his tail."
"Then what?"
"Leapingtail relaxed a little, and then Crabface asked her to be his mate. She said yes and they did the mating process."
"But Leapingtail broke the warrior code twice!"
"She thought no one would know. Fawnpaw then was beside me and gasped in horror. Crabface then said something about that dream.. that dream that Fawnpaw had from StarClan. He said when it was time, let him know."
"What time?"
"I was just as puzzled as you are right now, young Moonwing. Leapingtail nodded and padded away, but Fawnpaw and I ambushed her on the way up. She then stayed quiet ever since we did that. Fawnpaw's keeping a eye on her." Moonwing noticed that everytime Owlclaw started to speak, he moved closer to her.
"What was the second thing you wanted to speak to me about?" Moonwing asked him, gazing into his yellow eyes.
