Paws step echoed in the forest.Darkness surrounded the clearing.One young cat stood in the middle of the forest.His emaciated sides heaving.He looked frantically around for something,but it wasn't there."I...must...find...the source..."He panted."Come at me Dark forest! I'll take what ever you got to save my clan!"he yowled.Out of nowhere a force strong enough to wipe out a mountain bowled over the young cat.The force fought hard,but the cat fought harder."You'll never take me!Never!"he cried."Oh,but i will."said the force.Suddenly it stepped away."Iceheart,you'll never be strong enought to beat the dark forest." Iceheart strained his eyes as the force started to take the shape of a very muscular cat."Who are you?"Iceheart challenged."You'll find out soon enough."The mysterious cat lunged at Iceheart once more leaving a huge gash down the sides of his head."Iceheart!"yowled a blood-curtaling scream."D-Daisyheart?..."He breathed.He saw his life flashing before his very eyes.Then it finally came to the haunting images of Daisyheart,his mate and their 4 kits."Suddenly all the voices of Starclan seemed to have started yowling at hima all at once."Come to us,Return...Return!"they said.The voices got louder,and louder until he was deafended by the voices of his ancesters.The dark gray cat collapesed onto the ground.He was not strong enough to take the pain.He breathed his last and closed his eyes.
"Iceheart!Wake up!"The young gray tom's eyes flew wide open as he realized that he wasn't dead after all.He looked up to see Daykit standing on top of his head."C'mon Iceheart!Riverpaw and Rushpaw are going to be warriors today!"
