C3 Frost and Flame: A Tail of Two Sisters

Instructions

This is a super long chapter. Only a moon after being made apprentices, it was time for Frostpaw and Flamepaw’s first gathering. Frostpaw was excited. Her first gathering! She was also looking forward to meeting her sister Flamepaw for the first time since they were kits! She wondered what her sister would be like. Meanwhile, Flamepaw was nervous. Her first gathering. She was even more nervous to meet her long lost sister Frostpaw again. She wondered if they’d get along. In IceClan, Frostpaw had just finished battle training with her mentor Breezewillow. She was exhausted and picked out a fat vole from the freshkill pile to share with her friend, Freezepaw. Just as her and Freezepaw had taken their first bites, Snowpelt (The clan deputy) walked into the clearing and yowled. Even though Frostpaw knew she was going to the gathering, she was still nervous, but after Snowpelt yowled again, she forced herself to pay attention as he announced who would be going to the gathering. “Frostpaw, Freezepaw, Breezewillow, Icicletail, Lakefur, Coldfur, Oceanheart, and Streamtail will be going to the gathering.” said Snowpelt. After the announcement, the cats who were going to the gathering finished their fresh-kill, and then went to their dens to rest. In the FireClan camp, things were a totally different story. Cats were running around and yowling in terror as a fox appeared in the entrance to the camp. Flamepaw saw the fox and mewed in surprise and fear. She’d never seen a fox before and she was both in awe and scared out of her pelt. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a small kit running as fast as its little legs could go from the fox, and although the fox was fast, Flamepaw was faster. Flamepaw grabbed the kit by the scruff and tossed it into a patch of moss, before whipping around and clawing the foxes nose. The fox yelped but stood its ground. Flamepaw then slid under the foxes belly and pummeled the fox with her back legs as hard as she could. Mistheart then joined the battle and helped Flamepaw see the fox out of clan territory. After that they went back to camp. The senior warriors congratulated Flamepaw, but she didn’t hear them. She was too busy licking the kit she had saved before taking it back to its mother. All of a sudden Blazefur (FireClan’s deputy) yowled, and all the cats in the clearing turned and gazed up at the orange furred tom. “It is time to prepare for tonight's gathering,” said Blazefur. “Flamepaw, Scorchpaw, Mistheart, Brushfire, Ashclaw, Wildfire, Infernopelt, and Heatfoot will be going to the gathering tonight.” Once Blazefur was done speaking, the gathered cats dispersed. The cats going to the gathering prepared, and the other cats went back to what they were doing. Soon afterwards, night had fallen, and all the clans prepared to depart for the gathering, but Frostpaw and Flamepaw weren’t prepared. Frostpaw was pacing back and forth in the clearing outside the medicine den, she had torn her claw and was waiting for Lakefure to help her. Flamepaw was restless, she couldn’t stop moving and she dreaded the gathering to come. However, the two young she-cats remembered that they’d be seeing each other for the first time since they were kits, and their nerves soon calmed and they prepared to depart with their clans. When all of the clans had arrived at the gathering hole, (A dip in the ground with trees surrounding it) the first thing Frostpaw and Flamepaw did was look for each other. But when they searched, all they saw were other apprentices from other clans. Not each other. Frostpaw met Applepaw and Newtpaw from GravityClan, while Flamepaw met Tornadopaw and Galepaw from AirClan. Frostpaw asked her new friends if they had seen Flamepaw, but they said they had not. “Sorry Frostpaw, we just got here and we haven’t seen a cat that looks like Flamepaw. But we’ll keep our eyes out.” said Applepaw and Newtpaw. When Flamepaw asked her new friends if they’d seen Frostpaw, they said the same thing. “Sorry, we haven’t seen her or anyone that looks like her, but we’ll keep looking.” Said Tornadopaw and Galepaw. Both the sisters sighed and kept looking for each other.
