The Day the Earth Went Cold

Prolouge


Three cats and an apprentice walked beside me. We were on border patrol. A mud colored tom led the patrol to a stream. As we arrived, The mud colored tom flinched back. "The water, it's fozen!" he screamed. I thought he was just exaggerating, but when I took a look at the stream, it was frozen ice. I even saw a fish frozen.

The icy winds of leaf bare hit me. It was even colder than this morning. Another tom, black with white chest and paws, poked the ice. "It's solid as a rock. We can't get to the water." he said shaking his head. I spoke out. "What are we going to do? PebbleClan will die of thirst!" the mud tom looked back at me with flaring amber eyes. "Silverfrost, don't me so stupid! We already have enough water! Every cat in our clan has an icicle dangeling from their lashes! Even you have some!" he growled.

He wasn't wrong. Since leaf bare started, the winds were icyer, the water froze, icicles hung at the roof of our dens. "The Earth is getting colder by the minute." grumbled the gray and white apprentice beside me. "Don't worry, Brightpaw, soon, new leaf will come, then greenleaf. Brightpaw still mumbled some words I couldn't understand. I looked over at the black tom. "Sabertooth, what are we going to do? pretty soon cats will start dying because of the weather. Sabertooth's green eyes warmed up. "We don't control the weather, Silverfrost, but we can keep our hopes up and pray to StarClan. They won't allow the Earth to get colder then it already is.
