It was a stormy day, and another day for Fernpaw and her mentor Lilywillow to treat the wolves who had Thirsting Sickness. You see, Fernpaw is a med-Wolf in training. Fernpaw's ears perked up at the sound of Snakepup's coughing. Poor pup, she thought, He's been sick for ages. Fernpaw grabbed Basil Leaves, and gave it to Snakepup to ease his coughing fit.
Suddenly Snakepup let out a howl of pain and fell still. Fernpaw realized the pup was dead. She went over to Opalclaw, the mother of Snakepup, Icepup and Marshpup. Marshpup had died at 2 moons, and now Icepup is alone. Fernpaw sighed and walked over to Opalclaw.
"Opalclaw....." she stammered "Snakepup just died of the sickness...." Opalclaw stared in grief at Icepup, who was playing with Owlpup and Viperpup, the female alpha Beeflower's litter who were a few moons older than Icepup. Fernpaw filled with grief went and picked Snakepup's limp tiny body and brought it to the middle of the camp for the vigil, checking in on her siblings Deerpaw and Cedarpaw. Bearpaw grumbled as Fernpaw entered. "Go. Away." Bearpaw grumbled "Oh well," Fernpaw said "I guess I won't tell you that, you passed your assessment!"
Fernpaw noticed as Beeflower called the pack meeting. "Every wolf! Very bad news and good have come upon us!" Beeflower called "Firstly, Snakepup has joined Moonpack due to sickness" she howled "We will hold vigil at the rising of the moon" "Secondly, four apprentices have completed their training, Bearpaw step up" Beeflower called, and Bearpaw came toward the rock. "From this day forward you shall be known as Bearclaw!" Fernpaw smiled at him, and her sister stepped up "Deerpaw from this day forward you shall be known as Deerhunter!" Fernpaw was itching to get her new name "Cedarpaw, from this day forward you shall be known as Cedar-"
Beeflower tumbled off the rock. She was limp and wasn't breathing. A rogue wolf had killed her. "FROM NOW ON I RULE YOUR PACK!" The rogue wolf shouted "I am Hawk. And from now on I rule your puny pack. Any heirs of the former alpha will DIE!" He spat "And Medical wolves. See me in my den now." Fernpaw gulped and followed Lilywillow into the alpha's den "I need to know the heirs of the former alpha, I know she had pups." Hawk said.
"Why would we tell you?" Lilywillow growled. Hawk pinned her and Lilywillow yelled "FERNPAW! GET AWAY!" As Fernpaw ran she found Cedarpaw dead. Fernpaw ran toward the medicine den in tears as she was very upset. She saw Cedarpaw's spirit "Moonpack names you Fernspice. Be strong and help your pack endure this"

Chapter Two
Fernspice was in the medicine den tending to Hawk's wounds regretfully "You are a good and loyal med-wolf Fernspice." Hawk said. Fernspice thought Why be loyal to you Hawk, you killed our alpha!
Fernspice looked outside her den to see the starving queen Iceheart, with her skinny pups Strongpup and Orchidpup. Hawk howled for a meeting. Wolves walked over including Hawk's 'High Wolves' who followed him, every word every heartbeat. Fernspice slowly walked over and sat on the edge of High Stone. "Today, is the day that Strongpup and Orchidpup become apprentices." Fernspice was shocked. Iceheart's pups were barely weaned, "NO!" Iceheart snarled "I WONT ALLOW IT!" Hawk motioned for 2 wolves to go after Iceheart. "Orchidpup, with your skills, Tiger will mentor you." Hawk motioned for
Tiger, a loyal follower to come up. "And Strongpup. I will mentor you." He jumped down as a sign the meeting was over. Hawk and Tiger took Strongpaw and Orchidpaw out for battle training. Strongpaw and Orchidpaw came back from training with wounds all over. Fernspice led them to her den. Orchidpaw, disappeared that night. Iceheart thought Hawk killed her and was imprisoned in the elders den, with no food or water. Fernspice secretly had snuck Iceheart a hare and Hawk claimed he'd kill Strongpaw if Iceheart rebelled one more time. Fernspice wasn't allowed to even go out of camp.
I know. I know. I really twisted this chapter up. 😐

Chapter Three
Fernspice looked at Lilymoon's new litter consisting of a single pup named Lunarpup. "He's wonderful," Fernspice whispered to Lilymoon, "I'd hate for Hawk to touch him." Suddenly the alpha, Hawk came into the nursery " How's OUR pup? " he asked poor Lilymoon who had been forced to mate with Hawk and have his pups. "F-fine H-Hawk" Lilymoon stuttered softly. Hawk then left but not before exchanging a malicious, but clever glance at Fernspice which she knew meant Hawk wanted something with her.
Fernspice walked into Hawk's den "I think it's time we clear something up. I want to know how to make these wolves loyal Fernspice." Fernspice gasped "Hawk... They'd never be loyal, you TOOK our pack! Killed our healer! Manipulated me!" she said "It's time you leave!" Hawk snarled "Tsk, Tsk, Tsk a healer with no loyalty isn't for me!" He suddenly clawed Fernspice's muzzle "STOP! JUST LEAVE AND BUILD YOUR OWN PACK!" She howled.
Fernspice walked into Hawk's den the next morning to find him dead "Oh his cruel reign is over!" she gasped joyfully as they could all live in peace.
Oh help me 😅

Chapter Four
Fernspice looked around. Her pack needed a new alpha fast or the pack would crumble apart. She did find one wolf who could lead. His name was Kilo and he and his brother Darkfang had recently joined. Darkfang was well- dark but Kilo had potential, and she swore on Moonpack to keep an eye on his very ambitious brother. A new litter of pups were on there way, as a wolf named Ivymoon was having pups. Darkfang became more and more ambitious so Fernspice wasn't shocked when he asked for Killer Berries, but she refused to give him any. Later she found out Kilo had killed him after he tried to kill Kilo in a wolf trap. "I hereby appoint Kilo as our new Alpha!" she cheered.
This was the last chapter she created so I took over after this chapter so that the story may go on.
