Rise of SnowClan by Chocolatemeerkat (mobi reader android .txt) 📖

went to sleep. Fernpaw slept beside Dustpaw and thought about things. Why was Ghostpaw doing this? Would her parents find her soon? She wasn't too worried, as long as Dustpaw was with her. She then fell asleep.
The great rescue

The next day, Fernpaw woke up, straving to death. She had only eaten half of the rabbit and Dustpaw had the other. Fernpaw was so scared that she was going to die of hunger. Dustpaw woke up and rested his muzzle on Fernpaw's shoulder.
"Will someone find us?" He asked in a small voice.
"Soon, hopefully." Fernpaw said. Suddenly, Ghostpaw came over with 2 thin sparrows.
"Enjoy." She mumbled. Flower and Rock shared one, Fernpaw and Dustpaw had the other. They weren't that tasty at all, but it was all they got for a few hours.
"Dustpaw, i'm scared." Fernpaw whsipered.
"Me too. I hope someone will discover this." Dustpaw meowed back. They both prayed to StarClan until they heard a rustle in the bushes. It was a familar sound that only 1 cat made.
"Badgerstripe! Over here!" They shouted. Badgerstripe was on patrol with Blazepaw, Heartfly and Bearpelt. Blazepaw pricked his ears up and shouted something at Badgerstripe and the patrol gasped in horror when they saw the state of the apprentices. They had no water and little food.
"Great StarClan!" Badgerstripe gasped. He turned to Bearpelt. "Send another patrol. Pronto." Bearpelt nodded and ran back to camp. Blazepaw and Heartfly opened the cage and freed the cats.
"Dad!" Fernpaw squealed, running towrads Badgerstripe.
"Mum!" Dustpaw meowed, rushing to Heartfly. Both warriors wrapped their tails around their children protecivly. Blazepaw licked his sister's ear.
"And what is going on here?!" A voice demanded. It was Ghostpaw!
"You traitor. What have you done?" Badgerstripe growled.
"Nothing much, just thought that these two needed to relax." Ghostpaw meowed.
"Relax? You tried to stave us to death!" Fernpaw hissed back furiously. Suddenly, another patrol with Lizardeye, Riverstripe, Duckfoot and Deerleap appeared with Bearpelt.
"Snowstar says well done." Lizardeye meowed. "You've earned yourself a nice, long vaccation." Ghostpaw snarled and tried to pounce, but Bearpelt pinned her down.
"Lets see how you'll cope with a new friend." She mewed, dragging Ghostpaw towards the Twoleg place.
"We must be getting home now, you must be starving. We got plenty of prey." Badgerstripe meowed to the apprentices.
"May we join you?" Flower asked.
"Sure, more the merrier." Lizardeye meowed. The 11 cats returned back to camp for something to eat.
"I can just picture a plump squirrel now, waiting for me." Dustpaw whispered to Fernpaw.
"Me too."

It was now sunset. The apprentice den was very quiet, unusual unless something was going on. Another cat had been found at the edge of the SnowClan camp. Snowstar had decied to allow the cat to stay, but needed information. She asked the young cat to come to her den.
"First, what is your name?" Snowstar asked when the cat arivied.
"My name is Puffinpaw. I am a former FlowerClan member, but I got abandoned in the forest after someome attempted to feed me deathberries."
"I see. What were you before you were left?"
"Medicine aprentice. I know loads about herbs."
"Ah, good. Our medicine apprentice broke the warrior code and was exiled. Can you take her role?"
"Certainly." Puffinpaw left the den quietly and went to help Ivyfur sort the herbs.
"Thats that sorted. Now for step 2: See to those apprentices." She muttered. Snowstar left the den and headed straight for the medicine den. Here, Ivyfur and Puffinpaw were looking after Fernpaw and Dustpaw.
"Are you ok?" Snowstar asked her daughter.
"Yes, thanks." Fernpaw replied stronger than she had ever.
"I heard about the inccident with Nightflame. I have given you a new mentor, Clawedear."
"Thank you." Fernpaw turned to Dustpaw. Heartfly was beside him, licking his mattered fur. It had been messed up in the cage. Dustpaw then woke up and smiled at Fernpaw. She got up and purred.
"Lets go." She meowed. Dustpaw nodded and followed her out. Bearpelt had just returned.
"Where is Ghostpaw now?" Fernpaw mewed, flicking her tail.
"Ghostpaw, lets say will have plenty of things to do. I left her outside a Twoleg nest. This Twoleg kit came over and picked Ghostpaw up. She's now under the name of Fuzzyfluff." Bearpelt snorted with laughter. Fernpaw and Dustpaw laughed their heads off. They manged to wake up Ivyfur and the apprentices.
"Whats so funny?" They grumbled. Fernpaw explained what had happened and they all laughed along with her. Suddenly they heard a yelp. It was Falconkit!

Fire

"Falconkit! I'm coming!" Fernpaw shouted. She ran out the medicine den and was soon joined by Blazepaw and Morningpaw.
"Help!" Falconkit squealed. The 3 apprentices ran faster until they came to a fallen down tree. Here, a hawk was screeching at a little hole. Fernpaw guessed Falconkit was inside.
"Quick! Get rid of that hawk!" Fernpaw meowed. Blazepaw and Morningpaw took down the hawk while Fernpaw tried to rescue Falconkit from the tiny hole.
"Falconkit, I am here to help you." Fernpaw whispered.
"Look out! Behind you!" Falconkit screamed, crouching down with fear. Fernpaw turned around to be attacked by the hawk's sharp talons. Morningpaw was bleeding badly and Blazepaw was no where in sight.
"Help... me!" Fernpaw gasped. Suddenly the hawk screamed and flew away with blood pouring out of it's back. Morningpaw was standing beside her with Falconkit in her jaws.
"What happened?" Fernpaw groaned.
"I clawed it's back. That was the weak spot by the looks of things." Morningpaw meowed. "Oh, your brother is trapped in the log. The hawk put him there." After Morningpaw finshed, the log started to roll. The two she-cats jumped off in fear and noticed who was rolling.
"I've found my power!" Blazepaw shouted from inside the log. He crawled out and padded towards them, happier than ever. Falconkit looked confused.
"Don't tell anyone about what Blazepaw did." Fernpaw whispered. Falconkit nodded. Fernpaw, Blazepaw, Falconkit and Morningpaw then made their way back to camp.

The next day, at sunset it was very hot. Elders were complaining, kits were wailing and warriors couldn't find much prey.
"Has the river dried up?" Snowstar asked.
"No. Maybe a patrol could transport water from there to here." Lizardeye suggested.
"Great idea. Take only warriors and the oldest apprentices." Snowstar replied. Lizardeye chose Badgerstripe, Bearpelt and Emeraldpaw. Fernpaw wanted to go, but Lizardeye said she was too young. Instead, she stayed in the shade with the other apprentices. Cloudpaw was over-heated, so she was not in good shape at all.
"I think it might die." Cloudpaw whimpered.
"You won't, I won't let you die." Fernpaw whispered sharply. The apprentices talked for a while and then went to sleep, dreaming about fresh water. The patrol had only just returned when they stopped talking, so they could have a peaceful sleep with nothing distruptive.

Fernpaw then sniffed the air after 1 hour's sleep. It smelt like somthing was burning. She opened her eyes and got up. The sky was red, but that shouldn't be happing because it was moonhigh. A tree fell down and hit another tree. Fernpaw then knew what was going on.
"Fire! Wake up! Fire!" She shouted. The clan got up and started to shout.
"We have to leave now!" Fernpaw yelled. Riverstripe helped Spottedflower out while Clawedear went back for Foxrunner. Suddenly, someone yowled. It was Cloudpaw!
"Cloudpaw! I'm coming!" Fernpaw meowed. She ran towards a tree where Cloudpaw was clinging onto a branch with soot covering her face. Fernpaw, using her power jumped from tree to tree and looked at Cloudpaw.
"Stay still, i'm going to save you." She mewed.
"No, I refuse. Get out before you die." Cloudpaw croaked. She put her head on the branch. "Goodbye." The branch snapped and Cloudpaw fell to the ground.
"No! Cloudpaw!" Fernpaw yowled. She looked down and saw Cloudpaw. She was dead.
"Fernpaw!" Dustpaw shouted. Fernpaw knew she had to leave or join StarClan. She jumped down and heard another yelp. This time she could see Morningpaw trapped inside the nursery with Molekit beside her leg.
"Help!" She meowed. Fernpaw dashed back to save her friend and the kit. Fernpaw, Morningpaw and Molepaw ran out of the nursery and jumped over a flaming log that blocked their path. Molekit then collasped and Morningpaw got him in her jaws.
"Hurry up!" Dustpaw shouted to the she-cats. Fernpaw then coughed. She felt funny and couldn't continue.
"I..can't..go..much..futher..just..leave..me." Fernpaw gasped. Morningpaw shouted for help and Dustpaw ran towards her. He picked up Fernpaw's body and nudged Morningpaw along. Darkmystery ran back to the apprentices.
"Come on!" He meowed. "I'll take Fernpaw, we'll get out quicker." He placed Fernpaw's scuff in his jaws and ran out with the apprentices. Some time later, they were safely out of camp. Darkmystery laid Fernpaw down beside a oak tree and Dustpaw ran over to her.
"Don't leave me." He begged. Blazepaw padded over with Snowstar, Badgerstripe and Ivyfur. Snowstar cried when she saw her daughter and buried her muzzle in Badgerstripe's fur. Dustpaw's ears drooped when she didn't awake. He touched her cheek with his nose and walked away.
"D..Dustpaw?" Fernpaw muttered. Dustpaw gasped and turned around. Her family were beside her.
"Speak to her Dustpaw. Make her live once more." Badgerstripe whispered. Dustpaw nodded and padded over to her side. Snowstar and Badgerstripe left to speak to Duckfoot and Darkmystery.
"Yeah, it's me." Dustpaw mewed. "Are you ok?"
"Yes, now you're here." Fernpaw purred. She got up and walked towards him. Dustpaw smiled.
"We will return to camp soon, but for now we will need to see if one clan will allow us to stay with them." Snowstar meowed. "First, i'd like to hold a naming ceromony for some cats with outstanding bravery and have finshed training." The cats gathered together.
"Can Emeraldpaw, Squirrelpaw and Morningpaw come here please?" The 3 she-cats rushed to the front.
"Emeraldpaw, Squirrelpaw and Morningpaw, do you accecpt the SnowClan way of life, will follow and the warrior code and use it to protect your clan, even at the cost of your life?"
"I do!" The she-cats meowed in chorus.
"I, Snowstar, leader of SnowClan, call apon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard in your noble code, and I command you make them warriors in turn." She came towards Emeraldpaw.
"From this day forward, you will be known as Emeraldtail.
