More Description~

Follow Icy on her path to becoming a warrior of Windclan. But not everything will be as simple as it first appears.

While life goes on and she continued to face these challenges, an even bigger plan begins forming that will affect every cat in the forest.

(Chapters later on are much longer)

Chapter 1

She heard rustling in the bushes around her as Icy, the young loner, crept through the forest floor as swiftly as possible. She tried to blend in to the surroundings though it was difficult with her pure white fur and gleaming blue eyes.

A sudden movement in the trees caught her attention. Icy looked over but whatever it was, was already fleeing in the other direction. Icy ran after it, already knowing what and who she was chasing.

She circled around its path, planning to cut the cat off. She had to quicken her pace in order to eventually pass it.

Icy soon caught up and tackled the other cat from the side when she leaped out of the bushes. They rolled out of the trees and down a hill. The two white she-cats yowled and hissed as they finally landed in a single shrub at the base of the hill.

"Alright, break it up you two," said a lean she-cat who just walked up to the two cats. She was white with a light grey back. Her fur was smooth and shining and obviously well-groomed.

They tore themselves apart then started laughing together.

"Yes mother," they both said in unison.

"Ever since you girls became 4 moons old, all you have been doing is fighting," sighed the mother as she shifted her weight.

"We have to practice for when we're older and explore like father," said Cloud, Icy's sister. "Where is he anyway?"

Icy and Clouds' father, Shadowthorn, was a former warrior of Windclan. He left to be with his mate, Lilly. Now, he often leaves to explore surrounding areas but he's never gone long. The kits where expecting their father to be back later that day.

"He will be back by sundown. But for now, let's get back inside the barn before the dogs get out," Lilly responded before turning around.

The three cats walked into the barn. It was used by twolegs but they never bothered the family of cats. But a pack of dogs wondered nearby, which often threatened them. That was why Lilly was often worried about her mate but he always returned safely.

Lilly, Icy, and Cloud all sat together in the barn after the sun went down. Their mother was grooming Icy and Clouds' fur and no matter how much they complained, she refused to stop until the kits fur sparkled.

Icy would rather not sit through it but it a strange way, she was always glad when her mother didn't stop as they requested.

She only stopped when they heard a voice in another part of the barn.

"Anyone here?" said their father as he walked through the entrance. The three cats jumped up and Icy and Cloud ran up and tackled their father with excitement. Shadowthorn was a brown, muscular tom with black stripes. Strangely enough, he looked nothing like his kits.

"Father, you're finally home!" squealed Cloud. "We missed you so much!"

Shadowthorn purred and responded, "I've only been gone a day."

Lilly calmly walked over with a soft smile across her face.

"Welcome home, Shadowthorn. It's late and you've been gone all day; you must be tired."

"I am. I think we should all get some sleep now," the brown and black tom replied, glancing at the two young kits.

Icy and Cloud reluctantly curled up in their nest of hay while Shadowthorn and Lilly walked together to another part of the barn to talk like they often did after he returned from 'exploring.'

"Are you sure? Maybe you looked at it wrong," said Lilly with a worried tone.

"No, I'm sure I saw correctly. That pack of dogs was heading in this direction," Shadownthorn said urgently.

Lilly sighed and shifted her paws around. If the dogs where coming here, she had no doubt they would try to attack the barn. If Icy or Cloud got hurt, she wouldn't know what to do with herself.

"Maybe they turned around at some point… And if they do come here, I won't let them lay a paw on my kits," Lilly announced protectively.

"I hope you're right," Shadowthorn muttered. "But if something were to happen to us-"

Lilly interrupted him. "Nothing bad will happen to any of us. Nothing has happened before and nothing will happen now!" They had the same conversation before and the she-cat never liked hearing Shadowthorn play the what-if game.

"But if something does, we need to make sure our kits have a place to go," Shadowthorn said.

"Oh no; I know where you're going with this. I don't want them to get tangled in the clans," meowed Lilly stubbornly.

"It's not as dangerous as you think. It'll be the only family they have left."

"No. I refuse to agree to this. Nothing will happen to us. Please stop talking like that, Shadowthorn."

The tom sighed. "Alright, I'll drop it for now. I don't want you to worry. But this conversation is not over."

Shadowthorn stood up and walked past Lilly. He quickly said goodnight and lovingly licked her ear before going to his nest, not wanting them to end the night on an even slightly angry conversation.

Lilly sighed once more and looked out a nearby window and into the night sky, wondering where those dogs are now. She waited a moment then stood up and slowly walked to the nest to join Shadowthorn.

At times like these, she couldn't help but wonder...

Icy quickly fell asleep after curling up in the nest next to her sister. Though she fell asleep with a smile, her dream that night wasn't as pleasant as she was hoping.

She found herself in a dark forest, feeling more alone then she ever had in her life. It was misty and she felt herself shiver in the cold darkness. She felt trapped by the intense feeling of danger around her. Icy scanned the area; the tree tops where rustling as the ominous wind blew violently through the leaves above her. As she looked up, even through the branches, she saw no stars.

She heard a voice but couldn't understand what it was saying very well. The voice seemed to be coming from every direction. Finally, Icy had enough.

She suddenly dashed away from the area, wanting to get away as soon as possible. Her heart was racing from fear of being followed. She couldn't help but look behind her as she ran, but saw nothing. When the white kit turned her head back around, she found herself in a clearing packed with other cats that didn't seem to notice her at all.

There was a large tree in the middle of the clearing. On a branch high in the tree, sat a tall cat, looking down at the large amount of cats, as if in control of them. The cat looked strong and prideful. Icy noticed the cat looked a bit familiar, yet couldn't figure out who it was.

On another even higher branch, Icy saw another cat, looking down with a sinister grin. This cat looked very muscular; someone who would demand respect and power. This cat was standing closer to the tree itself, mostly hidden in the leaves, unnoticed by the cats below.

Then suddenly, the branch the first cat was on broke and the tall cat fell into the ground of spectators. Right after that, the cat who was hiding came out of the leaves and farther up on the branch, now seen by the others.

Icy wasn't quite sure why, but she knew the cat had bad intentions. In a word, she believed the cat could be evil. She didn't want to see this either. She began to back up to leave, but she was suddenly frozen into place.

The wind stopped and all the voiced went dead. At this moment, Icy wasn't sure if she was even breathing. Then everything want dark. All the cats, the trees, and the sky went black so she could no longer see a thing. She couldn't even see herself.

Now, she was completely alone. Darkness surrounded her. She almost felt crushed. But the pain lightened and soon it was gone completely. The darkness turned to light. And that's when she heard a voice. "You cannot avoid your destiny. But you can change it."

A/N: Well I hope you all liked chapter 1. I have much more planned for Icy and co. I plan to make this story pretty long, for those who like that sort of thing. Also, the later chapters get much longer than this one. If anyone has comments, questions, or anything else, please don't hesitate to give me a review. :)

P.S. While reading through, you will find a few errors. More than I would like. It's not because I'm a bad speller, I'm just typing too fast. I will be going through the chapters and fixing them but I won't be able to do much until the story is finished. So please bear with me if you plan to keep reading. I hope you do; you won't regret it. ^-^

Have a nice day~
