Chapter One: Ice, Season, and Sun’s Journey
Sun pushed on, the snow raining down on him and his siblings. Sun’s golden-brown pelt was speckled with the cold white flakes. He glances over at Season and Ice. They looked tired. Sun must have too, for Ice soon slowed to a stop.
“Brothers, we must stop.” Ice pleaded.
Season turned to Ice. “We’re almost there.” He meowed.
“I know. I’m freezing though!” Ice complained.
Sun moved closer to his sister. “We’re almost there.” He replies, glancing at his brother, who was watching. Season dipped his head.
“Ill continue on, get your nests ready.”
“Thank you brother.” Sun meows, flicking his tail. Season races off into the white.
“Come on. We cant get stuck out here in this blizzard.” Ice meows, now determined. She bounds after Season, leaving Sun to follow.
Finally they reach the den, a low fern with brambles surrounding it. Ice, Season, and Sun settled into their nests, lined with feathers and moss. Their nests also had mice pelts in them. Ice sighed.
Sun turns his head towards her. “What?”
“Is it the warmth?” Season guesses.
Ice nods. “Yea, it’s the warmth. I’m so tired too. See you too in the morning.” She yawns.
Sun closes his eyes, setting his head on his paws.

The dawn sun was the only thing strong enough to penetrate the leaves of the fern. When Sun blinked awake, the light had made a soft, green glow in the den. Ice’s nest was empty, while Season was still asleep. When Sun left the den, he saw Ice piling a vole onto two mice and a thrush. The fresh-kill pile. Ice looks up at him.
“Sun, can I tell you something?” Ice asks.
“Yea, anything.” Sun replies.
“I can jump higher than you two, and run faster.” Ice pauses, “And much more dedicated.”
“Go on.” Sun meows.
“Well, I’ve been thinking. Why not get more cats like me, and lead them on to survive? You, you could lead strong and brave cats, while Season could lead cats who were kind and understanding.” Ice meows, in one breath.
Sun pricks his ears. “But we’ve always been the three.” He meows.
“I know! Its just, were all older now, Sun! I cant continue on like this.” Ice mews quietly.
Sun dips his head. “Do what you want.” He replies.
Ice sighs. “Ok.” She meows, taking the thrush. She quickly eats it. “Tell Season, I love him. Good-bye Sun.” she meows, padding out of the bramble patch.
