The Prophecy

 Chapter 1

Snowpaw's Dream



Snowpaw was standing at the edge of a huge dip in the ground. Beneath her stood four cats. She scrambled down the dip until she was standing in front of them.

"Greetings Snowpaw." they all mewed simultaneously, then glared daggers at each other. The dark brown tom with the ice-blue eyes stepped forwards.

"My name is Kaw."

"My name is Enob." the huge black-and-white tom butted in impatiently.

"Hello Snowpaw. I am Loss." said the long-haired tortoiseshell-and-white tom.

"Snowpaw." the fourth cat meowed, dipping his head politely. His mismatched green and blue eyes gleamed eagerly as he looked at her, taking in every detail. "I am Sun."

Kaw was looking at Snowpaw too. Now, she looked back at him, then at all the others.

"One of us will teach you to be the best cat you can in your dreams, Snowpaw. But you must choose which cat it will be." Kaw said softly.

"What? I...I..."

"We should each spend time with her. So that she can choose more fairly." Sun meowed. Reluctantly, the other cats nodded.

"One more thing, Snowpaw." Kaw added. "One of us is your father."

Snowpaw spluttered awake in the Thunderclan camp, to hear Firestar calling a Clan meeting.

As Snowpaw joined the three other apprentices, Blossompaw, Briarpaw, and Bumblepaw out in the clearing, she yawned so loudly it drowned out what Firestar was saying. By the time Snowpaw was listening again, Dovekit and Ivykit, both neatly groomed, were standing under the Highledge while their mother and father Whitewing and Birchfall watched proudly from nearby.

"Ivykit, from now on until you recieve your warrior name you will be known as Ivypaw.
