Crippling Ice: The Plot

I finally stopped being lazy and got back to writing this. Huzzah!

Chapter 1- Rejected- Nightsong
Nightsong watched Skypaw crouch down and begin nibbling on the mouse, shooting nervous glances behind her every now and then. Now that two of their warriors were missing, the entire clan was on edge. Tigereyes was still in the medicine cat den, due to his injury. The apprentices were being trained in mostly battle moves now, just in case.

“Two cats in one day! Can you believe it?” Nightsong heard a couple of elders talking with each other about the missing cats.

“Well, they were relatively affectionate toward each other. Perhaps they ran away to be together?”

“Leopardspot and Fireclaw would never abandon Thunderclan!” Nightsong hissed at the elders. The first backed away a rabbit-length, but the second gave her a glare.

“You never know. They might have.” Both the elders padded away. Nightsong gave another hiss of annoyance, then padded over to Skypaw and settled down next to her.

“How’s training going?” Nightsong questioned.

“It’s not.” Skypaw murmured. “Tigereyes is still in the medicine cat den. But all the other apprentices keep coming back complaining about the battle training. I feel kind of left out.”

Nightsong pondered this for a moment. “You should talk to Thornstar about it. I’m sure he’d do something.”

“Yeah, sure. Whatever.” Skypaw left the half mouse lying there and walked away.

Chapter 2- Icy Tone's- Leopardspot
Fireclaw stretched his leg again. It hurt, but he thought it might help.

“Will you quit that? It’s not helping. Maybe you should try setting it properly.” Leopardspot snapped at him. They weren’t as close as they used to be, due to being confined to lying on their sides in a tree trunk.

“I’ve already tried that, Leopardspot. I’m no medicine cat.”

“Yeah, well, I set mine.”

“Sure you did.”

“Will you too stop arguing?” A new voice echoed around the space. Leopardspot and Fireclaw craned their necks to see who it was.

“Iceleaf,” they both hissed at once.

“Are you two in pain?”

Leopardspot hissed an insult, and Fireclaw just glared at Iceleaf.

“Oh dear, maybe I should bring your medicine cat here as well?” Iceleaf chuckled.

“If you dare-“ Leopardspot began, but Iceleaf interjected.

“You’ll do what? I’ll pick your clanmates off one by one until Thunderclan is no more,” Iceleaf leaned closer and breathed into Leopardspot’s ear, “and you can do nothing about it.”
