Lost Stars

Chapter one

Blizzardclaw's pov

He watched the small bird in front of him flutter it's wing, bathing in the morning sun. His blue eyes watching it's every move.

He crept forward through the tall grass in Grasshead Clearing feeling the grass smoothly run over his shoulder.

His left ear twitched as he heard a rustle coming from the left of him as his claws unsheathed. He kept his tail low to the ground as it quivered in anticipation.

He rose his head and gave a yowl and the small robin gave a call before taking to the skies. It didn't get far as a white pelt came flying through the air and snagging the bird down with one paw.

The white body bit down on the robin's neck. He felt pride seeing his apprentice catch her first prey on her fourth try. "Good job!" He called out to her as he padded over.

She rose her head, purring loudly. "Thanks Blizzardclaw. Though I wanted to catch that rabbit back there by One-Tree."

He looked at her seeing her look down despite catching her first prey. He turned around flickering his tail for her to follow him.

Redpaw. She reminded him so much of his Clanmates even though she was born six moons ago.

He remembered when Heronstar walked into camp. Trailing behind him was an all white she-cat by the name of Berry. Heronstar went on to explain that she was joining the Clan. After that, they announced they were mates and she was pregnant. She later became Berryfoot.

Blizzardclaw congratulated his leader with a proud look on his face.

He stopped and picked up his prey which was a rabbit. He looked behind him seeing the robin clamped firmly in her jaws. "Look on the bright side Redpaw, at least you caught something before Whitepaw." He commented.

She perked up as her eyes shined from the praise.
"Yeah! She may have been in a battle the other day but this beats that."

He nodded his head and padded off again. He recalled when Sunstorm, Stormclaw, Whitepaw and Lightningfur rushed inside camp when they had battled FireClan.

Whitepaw immediately came to his apprentice and bragged about the battle. But Whitepaw was also a moon older than Redpaw.

He looked back as she trailed behind him seeing an exact replica of Berryfoot. An white she-cat with reddish-brown paws and yellow eyes like Heronstar.

He looked around his surroundings. One-Tree was coming up. He wanted to renew the scent markers. Plus he knew that Eaglestripe, Brindlecloud and Lilystream would be up ahead hunting.

When he approached his destination, he calmly dropped his prey and renewed the scent markers. He sniffed around making sure he didn't smell WillowClan. He knew that WillowClan have been trying to officially take One-Tree because of an arrangement between CloudClan and WillowClan.

WillowClan didn't hold on to their end of the deal and has been trying their best to successfully take it. "What can you smell??" He questioned Redpaw who had drawn back from the water that surrounded One-Tree roots.

She opened her mouth and inhaled deeply before answering. "Fish, rabbits, birds and a strong smell coming across the river."

He chuckled softly at her. "That smell is WillowClan. They live by the water and eat fish. You'll see some of them at gathering at full moon."

Her yellow eyes squinted as she looked across the river, trying to see anything.

"They've already came and renewed their scent markers. They're long gone now." He mewed. He opened his mouth tasting the air. He smelled Eaglestripe's scent and he knew that his group was gone also. "Alright let's back to camp. We gotta patrol FireClan's border."
