Shelljaw felt the wind blur agianst her back making her fur rise greatly. Sge stepped in a freezing cold puddle. How does Snowclan survive this?! She thought in her head. She then turned and shot through the thorny bramble. The thorns barley hit her fur beacuse of the cold.

She gazed around for Mudfur. Her eyes only flickered the white blue gaze she natrually had. Not seeing Mudfur she sighed angrily. Then she caught a glimpse of his brown fur. "Mudfur! Down here!" Shelljaw hissed.

The brown tom startled looked behind him and spotted her orange fur in the white snow. He ducked and crawled under the bush to her. "Did you kill her?" Mudfur asked twitching his whiskers. "No... I smelt a patrol. Thank starclan i didn't see them." Shelljaw growled irritated.

"Why did you let her go?! You know if she becomes a full warrior the clans will survive... And if not we will have the power to start out own clan." He snickered digging his claws into the soft snowy roots. Shelljaw nodded slightly.

"Why are you giving up Bearclaw for me?" Mudfur asked giving a complex stare. "I- i dont know... To be honest. But i cant leave you now we already know we are expecting kits."

Hazelpaws mind went blank and so did her vision. She looked around and found out it was snow. Her fur bristled as she saw Mudfur standing infront of her. Then she realized she was in Shelljaws prospective. The vision snapped and she was vack in her warm mossy den.

I must tell Falconstar... She sighed and heaved herself up. A few moss strands stuck in her paws. She brushed her pads across the soft dirt gluding out of the apprentiance den. Bitter cold air blew onto her face.

Her fur prickled up and she let out a small squeal. Im a kit. She thought her nose wrinkling up at her comment. She saw Shelljaw stalk in camp with many unknown warriors behind her. Hazelpaw froze as she saw them leak into Falconstars den.

"Go into The leaders den warriors and apprentiances and get ready to fight!" Hazelpaw yowled a battle cry she rembered her father talking about. Cats flooded into the clearing backs arched as they pelted into the clearing.

Hazelpaw unsheathed her claws and darted into the den. Seeing a warrior attacking Falconstar. Warriors hoped at Hazelpaw. She jumped out of the way quickly and launched herself at the warrior. She dug her claws ibto his shoulders.

The warrior fell on his back squishing her. Hazelpaw gasped for air and in shock raked her claws back and forth one time piercing the toms nape. Having no practice in battle she flung herself at the toms haunches and pulled him down.

Bearclaw a massive tom jumped onto the tom and pulled him away from Hazelpaw. "Thank you Hazelpaw." Falconstar stared at her in awe. She nodded slowly and bounded out of the den having no real wound. She spotted Bluepaw on the ground her breathing slowly. "Bluepaw!" She yowled and pelted over to her. "Are you ok?" She cuffed her freinds ear affectionately.

"Hazelpaw im fine. Go tell Crowpaw and Owltail i need them." She smiled and nudged her freind with her paw encouraging her to go. Hazelpaw stared down at her examining her wounds. She had a large claw mark on her side and running down her ear to her shoulder.

"Ok." Hazelpaw nodded and dashed off to find Crowpaw and Owltail. Dodgeing through the crowd of battling cats she made it to the medicne cat den. Peaking inside. "Bluepaw needs you! Shes on top of high rock!" Hazelpaw yowled.

Somthing bit down onto ger hind paw and was pulling her away. She collapsed and was being dragged. "Help!" She meowed terrified. Crowpaw instantly ran out. He flipped over as he tumbled into tge attacker.

Her paw was instantly free and sge whipped around to see who the attacker was. Shelljaw was hanging from the massive waterfalls edge. Scraping the rocks desperately. Crowpaw padded closer to her. Hissing he extended a paw.

Shelljaw instantly grabbed Crowpaws paw and pulled him down. Shelljaw fell to. Hazelpaw without thinking pelted into the waterfall. The water plunged her down. Treading the air desperately it took her down like a swirl. She dug ger claws into the rock but it took her further down.

It crashed onto her making her pelt squash onto her skin making her look very thin. She fell in the stream as it overpowered her deep into the water. Thrashing around she swam up. She saw Crowpaws black fur swimming through the water.

Hazelpaw treaded the water catching up to him she heard two large splashes from behind her. She whipped her head around seeing two Waterclan apprentiances.
