SnowClan: {A Fallen Snowflake} [Unfinished]

Chapter 1

Darkpaw opened her eyes. Her deep blue ocean eyes where tired. She scrambled up and stretched before she sat down. She licked her paws and fur. She lifted her head up and gazed around the den. She has been a apprentice for 3 days now. She noticed a black cat snoring quietly on her left side. It was Shadowpaw. She scrambled off her nest and headed outside.

Wolfpaw was sharing a pigeon with Dapplepaw. Sunpaw followed Baypelt and Cloudfur to the tunnel, which lead out of the camp. Darkpaw looked around the camp. She didn't see Otterpaw anywhere. She noticed that Icestar was whispering to Thornbush at the edge of the highrock. Snowkit and Stonekit were playing with the moss ball. Dewfish looked at her kits with gleem of happiness in her eyes. Greytail came up to her.
"Good morning Darkpaw. Is Shadowpaw still sleeping?" He mumbled. Darkpaw nodded as she gave way for Greytail. He growled a little as he entered the apprentices den. Darkpaw noticed that her mentor, Whitefur came out of the warriors den and headed towards her.
"Darkpaw your awake! Now go eat prey before we head out." Whitefur purred as she smiled at her.
"What are you going to teach me today?" Darkpaw asked.
"Since Leaf-bare is almost over I thought I could teach you how to break the ice and even teach you how to fish!" She smiled. Darkpaw nodded as she scrambled towards the fresh kill pile.

She snatched a vole and sat down on the snow. She took a bite as she looked at Wolfpaw and Dapplepaw.
"Should we go hunting together?" Wolfpaw asked.
"Blackshade went for border patrol and Baypelt to hunting patrol." She jerked. Dapplepaw nodded as he finished the pigeon.
"Let's go then." He smiled as they scrambled up and headed out of the camp. Darkpaw noticed that Flameheart and Otterpaw came back. They both had prey hanging down from there jaws. They placed it on the fresh kill pile. Otterpaw smiled at Darkpaw and sat down next to her.
"Good morning!" She smiled.
"Good morning Otterpaw." Darkpaw replied as she touched her muzzle on Otterpaws. Otterpaw smiled as she snatched a mouse and started to eat it. Whitefur came towards them.
"Darkpaw you ready to go?" She mewed as she greeted Otterpaw with a wave of her tail. Darkpaw nodded as she took her last bite and stood up. She said goodbye to Otterpaw and disappeared with Whitefur.

Darkpaw scrambled towards Whitefur. They were closing up to the river. Her eyes widened with surprised as she saw some ice melting.
"I told you that Leaf-bare is almost over." Whitefur purred.
"But I have a feeling that it won't be over that easily..." Whitefur whispered. Darkpaw's fur tingled.
Whitefur turned to look at her.
"You ready to break some ice?" Whitefur smiled. Darkpaw nodded. They stepped on the ice carefully and slowly so they won't slip.
"Okay, first you must find a good place for breaking the ice. Then you lift your both back legs and slammed it to the ice as hard as you can. Remember to balance." Whitefur said.
"I will show you." Whitefur smiled as she went to a good spot. She lifted her both back legs and slammed it to the ice as hard and quick as she could. The ice cracked under Whitefur and she leaped off as the ice broke to pieces.
"Remember to move out quickly as you can before the ice brings you with it." Whitefur warned. Darkpaw nodded.
"Now you try." Whitefur smiled. Darkpaw nodded as she came to a spot. She lifted her both back legs slowly but slipped and landed on her side awkwardly.
"Lift it very fast like you leap very fast." Whitefur told her. Darkpaw stood up carefully. She did it again, this time fast. She slammed her legs on the ice hard. It cracked, but didn't break. She did it again. It cracked again. She was ready to leap but slipped. As she tried to stand up the ice broke to pieces and she dipped in the water.
"No!" She heard her Mentor scream in horror. She flung out of the water. She saw that she was carried to another melted hole. The waves pushed her in again. As she flung herself again on another melted hole, this time she gripped on the ice as the waves tried  push her in the water again. Darkpaw pushed her upwards and climbed on the ice. She fell on the ice and gasped for air. She remembered when she was a kit that she, Otterpaw and Claw, a rouge, were pulled in the river and almost fell off the waterfall. She gasped for air as Whitefur grabbed her like a kit and ran to the camp.

"Lark! Lark!" Whitefur screamed in horror as she dropped Darkpaw on the soft snow, panting. Lark popped her head out of the den. She saw Whitefur and Darkpaw and rushed towards them.
"What in the name of StarClan happened!?" Lark gasped in surprised as she stared at Darkpaw who was shivering. Whitefur explained how she fell in the water and almost drowned.
"Bring her to my den." Lark ordered.
"Featherpaw!" Lark called her apprentice. Featherpaw ran out of the medicine den and rushed towards Lark. She skidded to a halt and stared at Lark.
"Go fetch Ivy." Lark said. She nodded and followed Whitefur and Darkpaw as they went to the medicine cat's den.

Featherpaw rubbed her paws on Darkpaws pelt to warm her. Then she gave her Ivy.
"Eat it. It will calm down your body." Featherpaw said. Her eyes gleemed with sorrow and loneliness. Darkpaw nodded as she chewed the herb. A puffy small calico she-cat rushed in the medicine cat's den.
"Darkpaw! Are you alright!? Are you hurt!?" She panicked. Darkpaw smiled as she swallowed the Ivy.
"I'm fine Otterpaw." Darkpaw purred. Otterpaw is Darkpaws sister. They both are very close and care for each other. Otterpaw sighed with relief.
"Good, I will go and bring my fat mouse I caught." Otterpaw said as she disappeared out of the medicine cat's den.
"You should make yourself warm before you can continue your day." Featherpaw said as she walked away and sorted out her herbs. Darkpaw coughed as she curled up into a ball. Featherpaw turned to look at her as she started to cough again. Darkpaw stood up and patted past Featherpaw and went in the herb store. Then Darkpaw came back with tansy hanging on between her jaws. She chewed it and gulped it before she patted past Featherpaw again and layed down on the nest and rested.
