Delicately, one by one, the snowflakes fell down and landed softly on the earth. Wavekit slowly looked up into the sky and her green gaze pierced the falling white flakes. She giggled as they landed on her nose and as she tried to look at it, she went crossed eyed.
"Mouse brain- you've never seen snow, have you? No wonder you're acting like this." Wavekit sat up and stared angrily in the eyes of the haughty Brambleclaw. 'Arrogant fox brain' thought Wavekit. "Now don't be bragging Brambleclaw! You know WE acted like that too." Wavekit turned to see the love sick eyes of Ravenpelt. She purred in front of Brambleclaw. Ignoring the lovestruck mates, Wavekit skidded around to the open center of Hiddenclan camp.
"Hey! Whitekit! Rockkit! Stormkit! Come play Hiddenclan with me!" She yowled with her squeaky voice. She watched as Rockkit and Stormkit came out along with her best friend Whitekit.
Wavekit was the only female kit out of the current kits in Hiddenclan. She didn't mind, of course. She was always known as the most "tom-cat" out of the she cats. She swept her tail along Stormkit's flank. "I'll be Wolfstar." She said. Wavekit bounced up to the nearby rock and said, "Rockpelt! You are hereby banished from Hiddenclan!" Rockkit lashed his long tail and growled, a deep rumble forming in his throat. "How dare you... call me Rockpelt! That's stupid!" Whitekit and Stormkit sighed with frustration. The names, of course, the names.
Wavekit rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, alright, silly rabbit leg." "Rockwhisker, you are hereby banished!" She cried. "No!" It was Stormkit who charged in front of Wavekit. "He is my brother, and I witness he did not kill Raspberrykit!" "Stormsea, out of the way, unless you want to be banished, too!" Cried Wavekit.
Suddenly, she heard the pounding of paws into the camp. Her eyes pricked up as she saw Dawnlight, Cloverspots, Dragonwing, and Griffenclaw storm into camp, their eyes wild with fear. Wavekit sensed their fear and instantly crouched next to the other kits. Wolfstar sprang out of her den. "What's wrong?" She cried. "Badgers!" Cried Dawnlight. "Badgers have been spotted!"
Wavekit lashed her tail from side to side as she saw Wolfstar's eyes burn with anger. "That's the 3rd time they've been spotted over our territory!" Wavekit spat out loud before Wolfstar had the change to talk. "We should take a patrol out to fight them!" She snarled.
She felt paws wrap around her- Moonberry. Her mom. "It's not your place to speak out, little one." She rasped. Wolfstar stared coldly at Wavekit. "Fight them ONLY if you see them." She said coldly. Wavekit narrowed her eyes.
"Wavekit! Woah!" Laughed Whitekit, wrapping his paws all over Wavekit's ears. "Miss little Wavestar, are we now?" He teased. Wavekit pushed her best friend off her delicate ears. "Back off Whitekit!" She mewed back. "I just might be leader one day!" She threw herself at him and they play fighted. Whitepaw dodged her lashing claws and he quickly moved from side to side. Wavekit dropped low and pushed him on the belly just as he ducked. "You'll make me deputy, right?" Whitekit teased again. Wavekit smiled. "Rockkit just might beat you to it!" "My idiot brother." Whitekit muttered. "Stormkit's nice, though." Whitekit added.
"Come on! Let's go visit Dawnlight! She ALWAYS gives out training sessions in the afternoon!" Wavekit raced Whitekit to Dawnlight, who was eating.
Dawnlight found herself in a tussle of Whitekit and Wavekit tugging at her. She purred in delight. Suddenly, Wavekit stopped. She noticed a red, bushy, tail disappear behind the nursery den. She suddenly felt a flail in her heart and screeched in terror. "Fox!" She cried. "Fox!"
Instantly, with flaring nostrils, Dawnlight raced to the nursery. Wolfstar bounded out of her den and followed her, with Griffen, Magic, and Dragonwing behind her heels. Wavekit whimpered and sat next to Whitekit as they shivered.
Moments later, Wolfstar bounded onto the rock and yowled. "Cats of Hiddenclan! A fox was now here killed behind the nursery den! The foxes are advancing! We must take caution that the foxes are lunging for our kits!" Wolfstar's cold, narrow, eyes landed on Wavekit. "From now on, no kit shall be roaming around the camp without a kitwatcher(apprentice or warrior watching the kit). The nursery den shall be put stones behind! Dawnlight, see to the helpers." Wolfstar growled.
"What???" cried Wavekit, outraged. "A KITWATCHER?" She shrieked, outraged. "Wavey, you know it's for our safety." Whitekit said sympathetically, putting his tail on her flank softly. "I know you don't like kitwatchers, but would you rather be dead?" Wavekit looked down. 'No! I WON'T die!' She thought to herself. 'Whitekit doesn't understand. I'm going to be the leader of Hiddenclan one day! I don't fear anything!' Wavekit spun around to face Whitekit. "Come on, let's go check out Stormkit and Rockkit." she said.
Wavekit glared at Runningheart for ten minutes straight, making sure that Runningheart was sure that Wavekit abhorred her. Runningheart shifted her paws, uncomfortable.
Whitekit nudged Wavekit. "Wavey... come on. It isn't her fault that she has to watch us. It's Wolfstar's bidding for her to do so." He tried. Wavekit spat on the ground. "I can't believe Wolfstar is treating us like KITS." "Um.... Wavey? We ARE kits." Whitekit said slowly. Wavekit saw Runningheart stifle a small meow of laughter and she hissed, annoyed. "Now we can't sneak out of camp to the fallen tree to practice our fighting!" Wavekit complained. "I have to talk with Moonberry." Snarling and lashing her tail to and fro, Wavekit slipped into the nursery den where Moonberry was talking with Whitekit's mom.
"Hello Wavekit, dear." Moonberry said softly. "What's going on?" "What's going on?!" Spat Wavekit. "You know I hate having a kitwatcher! I want to be able to explore! Runningheart just forces us to be in the nursery all the time." Crossly, Wavekit sat down. Moonberry narrowed her eyes. "Now, Wavekit. You must appreciate that you are at least able to speak! As a kit, your rank is lower than the others. Think of your scrawny bones, your weak, not sharp claws! Just wait patiently, and you'll grow. Both in your mind and your body!" Moonberry lectured.
Wavekit angrily growled. No one would support her! Not even Whitekit, her best friend! She spun around, angry, and hurt.
She raced out of the nursery den and went behind it, almost bumping into Stormkit. "Stormkit!" She gasped. "Wa-wa-vekit!" He stuttered. "What are you doing here?" "What are YOU doing here? Sneaking out of camp?" She harshly retorted. "Shh!! Runningheart might find out!" He hissed. Wavekit suddenly felt a rush of excitement. FINALLY someone felt the same way she did! She crouched low just like him and pressed her flank low as Runningheart sniffed the air and passed by. "Thank Starclan!" Stormkit said. "Okay, okay. I was just going to catch a mouse and bring it back." "I'm coming with you!" Wavekit said excitedly. Stormkit stared evenly into her beautiful green eyes. His tone got soft. "Wavekit, your mom will kill you. At least I don't have a mom." Wavekit melted down instantly, her tail moving towards his flank and brushing it. "Stormkit, I'm sorry, but I'll take my chances." "What chances?" It was Whitekit, charging over. "What are you two doing here? Not mooning over each other, are you?" His face was blazing with anger. Wavekit stepped back. "We're not, Whitekit. You can back off. Wavekit and I were just talking. I never knew she was "yours." Stormkit spat at him and ran off.
Wavekit looked coldly into the eyes of Whitekit. She was angry at him- very angry. "I can't believe you treat me like your personal property!" She hissed, growling with annoyance. "I thought I was your friend, but you don't understand me! You think Runningheart is there for us? No! She's making life in Hiddenclan a PRISON! Stormkit's the only one that understands! Next time, stay out of this!" She roared.
Whitekit looked taken aback, and Wavekit could feel sympathy and anger at the same time running through her blood. Whitekit's eyes quivered, he paused, then ran back to the nursery. Wavekit caught Runningheart looking at her suspiciously and she spat at her.
"Do you promise to try and become the best apprentice and serve your clan loyally?" Wolfstar's warm voice was only directed to Stormkit, Rockkit, and Whitekit. "I do." Stormkit and Whitekit said. "Sure." Rockkit said evenly. Wavekit narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "I swear I will." She hissed. Wolfstar gave her a warning glance. "Then by the powers of Starclan I now name you Stormpaw. Your mentor shall be Firesong. Rockpaw, your mentor shall be Dawnlight. Whitekit, your mentor shall be Icefrost, and Wavepaw, your mentor shall be..." Wavepaw held her breath in and glared at Wolfstar even more. If she DARED give her a horrible mentor... "Skywhisker." Wavepaw let out a sigh of relief at hearing the deputy's name. Her eyes glinted with gratitude as she went to touch noses with Skywhisker. Alas! She was an apprentice! "Congrats Wavepaw!" It was Stormpaw, sweeping down the wave of murmuring cats. Wavepaw touched his flank briefly with her tail. "You too, Stormpaw!" Wavepaw said. Wavepaw! What an exciting name! She shivered at the thought. She saw Whitepaw making his way over to her and coldly shouldered her way over to Rockpaw to talk to him, looking engrossed in the conversation so Whitepaw would be crowded with other cats.
-Lol thanks guys! You guys actually read this? Cool! I thought no one would read it... lol-
Wavepaw batted the air with her paw, and let her mouse dangle over her jaw. "Wavepaw... right?" Wavepaw spun around. It was Lionpaw of Secretclan (lol get it... Hiddenclan...). Wavepaw instantly blushed. She didn't know why- she hated herself for doing it. But it was instinctive. She stood taller. "What about me?" She tried to snarl but her voice came out soft and dreamy. Lionpaw stared at her. "I've seen you, at the Gatherings, I mean." "I've seen you. What's that supposed to mean?" Wavepaw barred her teeth, but it came out as a sweet smile. Lionpaw blinked. "Nothing." He said, and swept around.
Wavepaw woke up. She was dreaming about her first encounter with Lionpaw. She shivered. She looked to her side. Stormpaw sleeping peacefully. She had grown to be best friends with him and not Whitepaw. She saw Whitepaw looking at her, sorrow filled to his eyes. "Come on, Rosepaw." She said, talking to her friend. "Let's go." Skywhisker was waiting for her. "Greetings, Wavepaw."
"What are we learning today?" Wavepaw eagerly asked.
"You're not going to learn anything today." Skywhisker said. Wavepaw swept her tail impatiently. "You're going on a solo hunting mission." Skywhisker finished. Wavepaw excitedly felt her heart rate go up. "Remember, I will be watching you." Skywhisker said. "However, I will also be watching Mistpaw, Ghostpaw, and Whitepaw. Their mentors have a meeting with Wolfstar so I will watch them." Wavepaw nodded. She saw them join her and she narrowed her eyes at Whitepaw. 'I'll do better than ALL of them!' She thought, determined.
Wavepaw raced in the undergrowth slowly and paused. Rabbit! She smelled the air first and could sense no Skywhisker. But there was another scent. Whitepaw. "Wavepaw, can we talk?" She spun around. "Whitepaw, this is a hunting mission. Not a talk mission." She reminded coldly. "Why are you so rude to me now?" He asked gently. Wavepaw sighed. "Our dreams are different. I can't... I can't be with someone who is a goody goody cat." Whitepaw looked hurt. "Please wavepaw, that was moons ago!" Wavepaw looked sideways. "We're wasting time." Wavepaw said. 'I'll talk to him later' She thought. She paused. She was near the Secretclan border. Images of Lionpaw flashed through her mind. She growled. Skywhisker was no where near.
Suddenly, there was a growl. Wavepaw froze as Blizzardstorm, Thundertail, and Lionpaw stepped out. "Hiddenclan kit." Hissed Thundertail. "I'm an apprentice." She growled back. Lionpaw met her gaze steadily. "She's no match for us. 3 vs. 1 isn't fair. Besides, she hasn't crossed our borders yet." Wavepaw felt a surge of anger. How dare he defend her! 'I can defend myself, thanks!' she cried silently. Yet she felt relieved she didn't have to fight the cats.
Thundertail looked sharply at his apprentice. "He's right, though. Starclan wouldn't approve of 3 experienced cats against 1. Let's move on." Blizzardstorm moved ahead. Lionpaw hung back. Wavepaw couldn't bring herself to look in his eyes. She sprang away.
"Excellent job Wavepaw!" It was Whitepaw's cheery voice. 'He's trying to make up with me.' Wavepaw thought bitterly. She rolled her eyes as she dropped her two rabbits, 3 mice, and one crow into the pile. "Yes... VERY excellent job. I'll talk to Wolfstar about making you warriors!" All the apprentices looked excited. Wavepaw paused. "What about Stormpaw and the others?" Skywhisker paused. "That's for their mentors to decide." 'Fox brain!' Thought Wavepaw. 'I'll be a warrior without Stormpaw! He'll be so dissapointed...'
"Wavepaw! Wavepaw! Wavepaw!" It was Stormpaw. He raced over and skidded to a halt, pausing to lick her lovingly on the forehead like a sister. Wavepaw could feel Whitepaw's eyes boring into hers. "Guess what? I'm becoming a warrior! Right now! Right now!" He yelped. "What?" Gasped Wavepaw. "Without me?" She cried. Stormpaw looked down in dismay. "I know... but you'll be a warrior tomorrow!" "Okay. I guess so." She said. 'I can't believe it!' She thought. 'He beat me to it!'
"Psss!!!" Wavepaw sniffed. Whitepaw. She was starting to get annoyed with him, but sighing, she went behind the warriors den. She padded over to Whitepaw. "Hi Whitepaw." He was leaning in to her... now he was pressing his pelt against her. She felt his warm fur ruffle up her own. She imagined if Lionpaw took his place... his golden fur upon her brown fur...
'What are you thinking of, mouse brain?' She told herself. 'You're LOYAL to your clan! You're going to be leader!' She snapped to herself. "Whitepaw, what are you doing?" She asked softly. "Wavepaw, I'm sorry... I can't help it! I...love you." The words escaped his lips. Wavepaw's eyes widened. She was frozen. Whitepaw leaned in more, so they were nose to nose. She closed her eyes instinctively. "You promised me... that when you were leader I'd be deputy." he whispered. He licked her and she jerked away. "I'm sorry Whitepaw. I just don't feel the same way."
Leaving Whitepaw confused and hurt, she spun around and joined the clan at the back, where she just missed Stormpaw's new name- Stormsky. She saw Whitepaw sulk in the back, trembling. Sympathy hit her heart.
At night, Wavepaw chose her nest next to Whitepaw. "Look, Whitepaw. I'm sorry." She said. Whitepaw looked back steadily at her. "It's alright Wavepaw. I understand. I just hope that we are friends." Wavepaw gave a smile and cuffed him around the ear playfully. "Of course we are!"
"Wavepaw! Focus!" Skywhisker hissed. "This is your last assessment before becoming a warrior!" She snarled. "You don't want to mess it up... do you?" Wavepaw narrowed her eyes into slits. "I'm focusing, alright?" She growled. 'It's all Whitepaw's fault.' She whispered inside her. 'He's causing all this love sick drama. I just want to be leader!' She called inside her. She sniffed. "A recent Secretclan patrol passe by..." She caught the familiar whiff of Lionpaw. 'Why is he ALWAYS out here?' She asked herself, annoyed. "They're gone now. A dog came by!" She extended her senses, almost visually seeing the dog bark away. "But he's gone." "Excellent work Wavepaw!" Skywhisker said, delighted. "come on, let's head back to camp." Wavepaw tingled. She was becoming a warrior!
"Do you, Wavepaw, Whitepaw, Mistpaw, and Ghostpaw, solemnly swear to defend Hiddenclan with your life?" Wolfstar asked slowly. "I do!" Whitepaw called. "I do..." Mistpaw murmured. "I..... of course I do." Ghostpaw said timidly. Wolfstar looked expectantly at Wavepaw. She met her gaze without flinching. "I DO." She said clearly. Wolfstar nodded.
"Then by the powers of Starclan I now name you Whitecloud, Mistbreeze, Ghoststorm, and..." Wolfstar paused to look into Wavepaw's eyes. "Waveclaw." "WHITECLOUD! MISTBREEZE! GHOSTSTORM! WAVECLAW!" Waveclaw saw Stormsky shouting especially loud and she purred in delight.
Wolfstar's call rang over everyone's chanting as Waveclaw drifted back next to Skywhisker and Stormsky. "Thanks for being the best mentor ever." She whispered. Skywhisker smiled. "I'm sure you would have done just the same." 'No! I won't!' Waveclaw told herself bitterly. 'I'm going to be the BEST mentor EVER! I'm going to shove those lazy apprentices and make them work as hard as I would've worked!' She thought.
"Gathering..." Was the only word Waveclaw caught. "I shall take Skywhisker, Dawnlight, Cloverspots, Magic, Griffenclaw, Dragonwing, Rosepaw..." Waveclaw listened to Wolfstar name the cats aloud. 'PLEASE let me come!' She breathed. "Whitecloud, Mistbreeze, Stormsky, Waveclaw, and Ghoststorm." Waveclaw let a breath escape. Her fur stood on one end. Her first gathering! As a warrior!
Waveclaw let all the scents of Secretclan and Silentclan drift over her. She shivered as Stormsky's pelt brushed over hers. She smiled at him. "I'm excited!" He said in her ear as other cats were talking also. "I mean, this is my first gathering as a warrior!" "Same here!" Waveclaw managed to breath back. She licked him softly. "I'm going to roam around." And without any comment she bounded into the sea of cats.
"Oh look..... it's Wavepaw!!" Waveclaw spun around to see Thundertail. To her surprise, his look was kind and welcoming, unlike the other day. She straightened up. "I'm WAVECLAW now!" Thundertail raised his eyebrow. "That's great news! Now next time i see you I can shred you!" He joked. Waveclaw smiled suddenly and she felt enlightened by this young warrior's sense of humor. "Thundertail? Who are you talking to?" Waveclaw felt shreds of teeth ripping her fur as Lionpaw came into view. His golden pelt matched the sun and he was almost as big as Thundertail. Waveclaw shuffled her paws.
"Oh, sorry. Waveclaw, this is my brother Lionfang." Thundertail said, sweeping his tail over his brother. 'Hm... Lionfang.' Waveclaw thought, studying him. 'Suitable for him, I suppose.' Lionfang met Waveclaw's eyes steadily. "Well I got to go talk to Reedwhisper! He needs help with the ladies." Chuckled Thundertail and swept off. Lionfang coughed slightly and drew himself near Waveclaw. "So... how goes Hiddenclan?" He asked. Waveclaw looked away.
'Stop it you silly fox!' She chided to herself. 'There's no penalty against being friends with him! He's just a friend! He's just a friend!' She growled to herself. "Hiddenclan's good." She meowed casually. "Nice warrior name." Lionfang meowed with amusement. Waveclaw batted him playfully. "Do you have a mate?" He asked suddenly.
The question was so... awkward for a moment she just sat there, dumbfounded. What would she say? Why did he ask? "I... no." Was all she said. Thankfully, Wolfstar's yowl brought the awkward conversation to a close.
"Hiddenclan is striving! We have recently made various apprentices warriors! Welcome to Waveclaw, Stormsky, Whitecloud, Mistbreeze, Ghoststorm, and Rocktalon!" Hiddenclan and Secretclan roared while Silentclan remained silent. (lol) Waveclaw felt her fur growing hot as cats turned to stare at her and even Lionfang gave a whoop. She turned her head instinctively and saw Thundertail's eyes resting upon her. She shivered. "Secretclan ALSO has had 2 apprentices named warriors! Lionpaw and Lilypaw have become Lionfang and Lilypetal!" Waveclaw only smiled at Lionfang. Finally, the leader of Silentclan, Silverstar, thrust her head in front of Wolfstar and Minnowstar. "Enough!" She roared. "Hiddenclan has been stealing our prey!" She roared.
Instantly, Waveclaw was up on her paws, hackles raised. "What?" She cried. "WE steal YOUR mangy prey??" Her cries were drowned by her own clanmate's voice of shock. Wolfstar narrowed her eyes. A tail rested on Waveclaw's flank and she whipped around. "Waveclaw... I'm sure they mean no harm!" Lionfang said slowly. Waveclaw sat down. 'Arrogant fox brain. Thinks he knows me!' Waveclaw chided.
"Silverstar... you are mistaken. Hiddenclan has not done such things." "Of course! We all know the only cats that hunt squirrel is Hiddenclan and we've found shredded squirrel on our borders!" Hissed Silverstar. Waveclaw was on her paws before Lionfang could stop her. "Silverstar! Drop your arrogance!" Waveclaw's voice was surprisingly strong and rough against the midnight sky. Every eye turned on her. "hiddenclan has done NOTHING." She said slowly, not flinching against the leader's burning gaze.
"Hiddenclan has ENOUGH prey for ourselves! Why should we steal from you?" Murmurs broke out through the crowd. AN elder behind her said, "Well spoken." Even Lionfang looked proud of her and she felt tingles grow upon her spine. Wolfstar sighed. "This Gathering is over." She hissed and leapt away. The crowds swarmed to follow their leader.
Waveclaw turned to go when someone caught her. "What, Lionfang." She said flatly. "Um..." He was stuttering. "Can you meet me here tonight?" Waveclaw paused. Half of her was screaming, 'No! You're LOYAL to your clan! You must be leader! You can't be with him! He's just a friend!' yet the other half... 'Imagine how much you can do with him... his flaming golden pelt... strong will... handsome eyes... you KNOW you love him... just ONE meeting... just ONE meeting...' Waveclaw looked back to Stormsky waiting for her, looking puzzled.
"I'll try and come." She whispered. Suddenly, she saw Thundertail looking at her and she narrowed her eyes. She joined Stormsky. "Who's that?" He asked, twining his tail with hers uncomfortably. "Just a friend." She said, jerking away. He continued to lean in so that their pelts were brushing.
'I'm so confused.' She thought. 'I just want to be leader and stay loyal to my clan. But what are my feelings telling me???'
The warriors settled in to sleep. Stormsky yawned and pressed his back against Waveclaw. "Fox brain. Now if I'm gone, he'll know." Waveclaw thought. "Night Waveclaw. I love you." Said Stormsky. Waveclaw stopped. Her eyes widened. What was it he had just said? Stormsky froze, his eyes looking wild with fear. Whitecloud stopped making his nest but kept looking down. None of the other warriors noticed. "Did you just say..." Waveclaw asked. "It just came naturally, I mean, we've been best friends for so many moons, I just thought..." Stormsky wrapped his tail around Waveclaw and purred when she didn't move away. Whitecloud narrowed his eyes and flopped asleep.
Stormsky started to lick her over the face. Waveclaw didn't know what to do- what was she doing? What about her life as leader? Well she supposed she could mate and have no kits, but did she REALLY love Stormsky? Stormsky got more violent in his licks and began drowning his scent in hers. Waveclaw stepped away suddenly. "Stormsky, I think you've gone a bit too far." She said quietly. Stormsky paused. "Do you love me?" "A bit." Waveclaw lied. Why was she lying? To cover up another broken heart she had already broke? She couldn't see both Whitecloud and Stormsky depressed!
She forced herself to lean in, inhaling his scent. He purred and she choked. "I...love...you..." She forced herself every word. Stormsky lay on his nest, which was now, thanks to him, in bound with her nest. She growled impatiently to herself. It was almost sun down. She slept.
Waveclaw sniffed the air. Not a cat in sight. Slowly, carefully, she lifted herself out of Stormsky's "loving" claws and slipped out of the den. Her eyes widened as she saw the night guards, Camofur and Blackbranch talking to one another.
Stealthy, she crept out. "I can't believe I'm doing this." She growled to herself. "I'm breaking the warrior code!" Yet the thought of seeing Lionfang, his handsome coat, twinkling eyes... it shot her forward.
She saw him- he was looking at the moon. Slowly, she crept forward to sit next to him.
Waveclaw shifted her paws uncomfortably. "Well, a good cat always has her adventures." "That's the spirit." He said softly. He turned to look at her and she felt goosebumps rising over her fur as his pale golden eyes rested on her and searched her body. "I can tell you're... unhappy." He said sadly. "Well, what are we doing here?" Waveclaw said. "I AM loyal to Hiddenclan, you know, and you should be loyal to Secretclan!" "I am!" Lionfang said, lashing his tail to and fro.
He stood up and started circling her. "But I can't stop thinking about you. I've TRIED my hardest, really! I even said that Lilypetal is my mate to try and forget about you!" He said. Waveclaw raised her head in interest. Lionfang slowly trickled his tail all over her flank softly, like bare feet over the cold, marble floor.
Waveclaw shivered up her spine and she closed her eyes. What was she doing? She couldn't betray her clan! What about leader!?? The clan would NEVER accept her if they found out! But it was too late. Lionfang slowly leaned in and pressed his warm fur against hers. She felt... so together with him... what was the feeling?
She responded... instinctively. A purr rose up her throat- a real one, not like the one with Stormsky. She pressed her back against him harder and she felt her heart thumping against her chest as they rubbed. "I love you so much." Lionfang whispered in her ear. "So much." He breathed as his tongue rasped over her face and every inch of her body. Waveclaw responded affectionately. 'What are you doing?' Screamed an inner voice. 'You can't love him!'
Dawn. Waveclaw stretched up, yawning. She could still feel Lionfang's burning, loving, eyes on her, resting on her beautiful haunches, whispering good night to her. 'I love you...' He had said. 'I'll see you some other time...' and she had said back, 'I love you too. I'll miss you.' HAD she really said those words?
'I really think a demon's taken over me.' She thought flatly. HAD she really responded that affectionately to Lionfang, who've she'd only SEEN for a couple of times and talked to barely? HAD she really admitted she loved him? 'Love is complicating...' she thought. A pelt brushed beside her. Stormsky.
He looked up into her eyes. "Good morning lovebird." He said. Oh, how she WISHED it was Lionfang saying that to her!
.... wow. this really reminds me of all the other forbidden love stories like leafpool and crowfeather, bluestar and oakheart especially, reedwhisker and fallowtail, heathertail and lionblaze, and dovewing and tigerheart. you kinda mashed all of them together and made up your own characters. .... i .... like it. it's really nice! Spottedfire
-Thanks Willowfoot and Spottedfire! (Oh, Spottedfire, this one will be different! ;)}
Waveclaw growled in frustration and clawed at the empty dirt. The mouse scuttled away to a safe haven.
She was irritated. Lionfang was messing up her duties and she already had gotten yelled at by Skywhisker for not being focused. Lionfang. Oh why did it have to be HIM that she loved? Why couldn't she just be with Stormsky or Whitecloud?
She hated betraying the clan.Yet... his soft breath, golden pult rubbing against her brown one, his eyes drowning into hers... she couldn't resist it.
Waveclaw trotted back to camp to meet SKywhisker. Dropping her little catch into the pile, she looked at her previous mentor. "Well?" She prompted. "You usually catch more." Skywhisker commented slowly. Waveclaw felt a prickle of annoyance. "It's SUNDOWN." She said, gritting her teeth. Skywhisker sighed. "Wolfstar's going to assign you an apprentice. Goldenkit, Springkit, Fallenkit, Featherkit, or Icekit will be yours." Waveclaw's fur ruffled. Was it excitement, the wind, or fear of not having enough time with Lionfang? Having an apprentice was a closer step to deputy! yet she had to pass Skywhisker... how could she? Yet... an apprentice! She saw the kits tumbling on the ground and felt exhilerated. Yet Skywhisker's eyes only betrayed darkness. "Just remember how to treat your apprentice. Remember where you're duties lie." She stalked away. Waveclaw frowned. What did Skywhisker know?
NOTE BY THE AUTHOR: A lot of this information in here is NOT what the real Hiddenclan is. Many cats are made up.
Waveclaw watched as the 5 she-kits lined up next to Wolfstar and swore their loyalty. 'I remember when I was up there...' she thought. "Goldenpaw- your mentor shall be Skywhisker. Now that Skywhisker has finished with Waveclaw, she shall pass down memories to you." Goldenpaw touched noses with Skywhisker. "Springpaw! Your mentor shall be Runningheart! Fallenpaw! Your mentor shall be Darktail." Wolfstar said. She turned to Featherpaw and Icepaw... the prettiest she-cats. Waveclaw held her breath. "Featherpaw, your mentor shall be Waveclaw and Icepaw your mentor shall be Stormsky." 'PATHETIC!' Thought Waveclaw. 'An apprentice for me and my "mate."'Waveclaw almost spat out loud.
Regardless, she touched noses with the excited Featherpaw.
"Featherpaw!" Called Waveclaw the next morning. "Featherpaw! Get out here NOW!" She yowled. She saw Dawnlight groggily step out. "Waveclaw... it's not even dawn! Take it easy on the young ones will ya?" Dawnlight complained. Waveclaw lashed her tail. SHE would be the best mentor in the clan!
Featherpaw was up and about in just minutes. "Alright!" Barked Waveclaw. "Here's the plan for today: pick out the elders' fleas till the sun reaches a fourth of the sky. Then, we get to explore the territory. Then, battle training." "What?" Said Stormsky, who overheard. "Wavey, that's a lot for one day!" "Don't call me Wavey, and it's MY apprentice!" She snapped back. Featherpaw looked at Lionpaw at the other corner of the clan. She nodded at Waveclaw and bounded away to the elders' den.
wow. even MY evil second grade teacher wasn't that mean. STRICT IS GOOD!! be tough on the young so they will work harder to please you. but really. picking ticks out of the elder's hind quarters before dawn is pure EVIL!! i like it. yay 4 meanness!
Featherpaw heard Lionpaw enter the queens den and she got all ticklish inside. She started to pick out Dapplewing's ticks out and Lionpaw started to rub out Mouseclaw's old joints. "Hey Feather." He said slowly. She loved it when he called her Feather. It was so romantic!
Waveclaw raced to the edge of the border and hesitated. She smelled the air. Lionfang. A pang entered her heart. 'I've got to stop wanting to see him!' She called to herself. 'Think about being deputy... come on! Think about being deputy!! Think about---' "Waveclaw?" She spun around and her heart melted. Lionfang. She, instinctively, went up to him and purred, rubbing against him slowly and licking all over his back. "I've missed you so much." He said. "Same here." She choked on each word. "I have an apprentice now... I can't meet you this often anymore." Lionfang's eyes dulled and he nuzzled her. His tail went around her's and they stood there for moments. "I... have to go." Waveclaw said and sprung away. She felt her destiny was torn in two..
*scribbles notes on paper* destiny.... torn in two..... this is AWESOME!!! i'm SOO taking notes for my stories!! ahh... seperated lovers.... broken hearts.... all so romantic.... LOVE IT!!
Waveclaw trotted back to camp to find Featherpaw sitting, waiting for her. "Where were you?" She questioned. "Apprentices don't question mentors." She barked angrily. "Come on, let's visit the territory." She said quietly. Featherpaw sighed. "Can Icepaw and Stormsky come along at least?" Waveclaw paused. An image of Stormsky's broken face appeared. "Alright... go fetch them." Eagerly, Featherpaw ran to get her friend. Stormsky appeared soon. He purred and ran over to her, pressing his body uncomfortably hard against hers. He licked all over her face and she felt a growl rising. "Let's just go." She spat angrily. Featherpaw and Icepaw shrugged but followed her.
"This is the border to Silentclan. Memorize their scent well." Waveclaw said. Lionfang flashed in her mind. HIS broken face. Her heart melted. She looked at the apprentice and Stormsky. "Can... you take the apprentices over to the River of the Fish? I feel a bit faint." She said to Stormsky. A worry line crossed his face. "Alright... get better." He took the apprentices across.
Making sure they were gone, Waveclaw flung herself to the Secretclan border. Oh please be here Lionfang! She called silently. "Waveclaw..." Waveclaw spun around, her heart pounding to wait and see Lionfang. But it was not. She shivered. Why did this cat look so familiar? "Sunshadow?" She whispered. Her father. He had died in an attack against Silentclan and died. "My daughter." He said. Waveclaw felt tears brim her eyes. "I'm confused father! I love him, you know that! But I want to lead my clan!" She cried out to him. Sunshadow's eyes dimmed. "Yes... I always feared your amazing personality would catch the eyes of another young male. Yet you have the strength to become a great leader... Wavestar." Waveclaw shivered at the name. Sunshadow paced around. "I can not decide your future for you... it is your choice." His eyes faded. "But I can see great misfortune in your life." Waveclaw wailed as he disappeared into the sky.
"You!" Barked a voice. Waveclaw spun around, dropping into a growl. A Secretclan patrol. Lighttail, Bellynose, Patchfoot, and Lionfang. Waveclaw almost fainted at the sight of her lover. She swallowed and all she could do was run. 'What are you doing mouse brain? Confront them!' Her inner voice was telling her as she pelted back to Hiddenclan.
"Waveclaw!" Stormsky said. "I thought you said you were already back here!" He growled. "There's Secretclan on our border! They're remarking the borders!" She yelped to Wolfstar. Wolfstar howled and instantly warriors gathered at her side. "Let us go!" She yowled. She beckoned for Waveclaw to lead the way.
Heart beating, Waveclaw lead her clan mates to the clearing where more Secretclan cats had appeared. 'We're even...' she thought. "Hiddenclan! Attack!" Wolfstar yowled as she flung herself onto the Secretclan patrol leader- Lighttail. "You'll never steal our territory!" She hissed. Waveclaw launched onto Bellynose and hissed as he scratched her nose. She clawed him over and over again on his belly. "Lionfang! Help me!" Bellynose cried; Lionfang was open. Waveclaw's eyes widened. Would he hard her? She saw his claws sheathe as he acted like scratching her and pushed her off. She went limp. 'What are you doing? Acting like fighting?' Her inner voice growled at her. She jumped away. She saw Stormsky fling himself on Lionfang. "You'll NEVER treat that way to my mate!" he hissed. "...mate???" Whispered Lionfang and he barely noticed when Stormsky clawed at his tail. His eyes rested upon Waveclaw with clouded confusion and hurt. "She's your mate?" He asked, partially to himself. Waveclaw couldn't bring herself to look in his eyes. She was knocked over by Dragonwing pelting away, and she went black.
awesome!!! this is articulated very well, and your storyline is fantabulous, and your story is absolutely NOT superfluous at all!! *silence* ..... in other words, it's great.
Waveclaw felt an empty pang echo in her heart as she trudged back home. There was a confused Stormsky, a hurt Lionfang, and an overwhelmed Waveclaw. "Hey-are you okay?" Waveclaw warily spun around. Whitecloud. For once she felt a bit relived. Not Lionfang chasing after her or Stormsky crowding with worries. "Hey let's take a walk in the woods." Whitecloud said, catching up to her. She nodded. "I'm just really confused right now." Waveclaw said slowly. "I want to be deputy, but I have to beat Skywhisker to it, and that's hard. Stormsky's my mate, but I don't really love him. I'm in love with another cat and want kits, but I CAN'T have kits." "Another...cat?" Whitecloud asked. Waveclaw didn't answer. "Well I'm sure whoever it is, he is grand. Just go with what you believe in. If you want kits, go ahead. There's always a different path with what you wanted." "You've never understood the importance of being leader to me." Waveclaw said bitterly. Whitecloud's pelt brushed hers slowly and softly. "Oh, but I do, Waveclaw. Since we were kits I have seen it in your eyes. I knew you would be leader. I just pulled you back because your ambition can sometimes lead to your downfall." Whitecloud said softly. Waveclaw looked intently into his eyes. He was telling the truth. "Thanks Whitecloud." She purred. "I'll never forget this."
"I'm not his mate for the last time." Waveclaw said slowly to Lionfang. She could hardly see his pacing body. "He's just a fake." "Okay okay okay. I get it. I didn't want to fight you today- or your clanmates. I felt like I was fighting...you."Lionfang said softly, his golden eyes burning into hers. "Of course." Waveclaw snapped. "I'm a part of my clan." Lionfang stepped back. Waveclaw was usually never this angry. "I'm sorry." He whispered. Then, to show his affections, he purred and wrapped his entire body over her.
Waveclaw lashed her tail. "I'm trying my best, I'm trying my best- EXCUSES DON'T CUT IT!" She roared to Featherpaw. Featherpaw winced and studied her paws. Waveclaw felt sympathy grow inside her heart. "Look, I'm sorry Featherpaw. A lot's been going on." Featherpaw looked up. "Let's just go hunting. We can train later." Waveclaw padded steadily with her apprentice out of the training hollow and up the hill. "Hey Waveclaw can I ask you something?" Featherpaw asked. "of course." waveclaw meowed gently. "I really want to get Lionpaw's attention but I can't." Rushed Featherpaw. "He's always with Icepaw." Waveclaw suppressed a laugh. How did SHE get lionfang's attention? A pang broke through her heart. "Just... be really brave. And be the best warrior you can be." She mewed briskly. She thought it wasn't much, but featherpaw's eyes brightened. "thanks Waveclaw!"
Night. The moon came steadily up the hill, and Waveclaw watched the edge of the sun go down. Sighing, she padded inside the warrior's den. Stormsky was already sleeping- she could see her made nest for her next to his. She sighed again and noticed Whitecloud wasn't there. Alarm flaring inside her, she raced out and sniffed his trail.
he was sitting by the river. "waveclaw! Good... I hoped you had come." Whitecloud said. Waveclaw felt deja vu hit her- just like the day Lionfang sat there. She padded up to him. 'Stop being a mouse brain. He's your friend.' "Hey Whitecloud. Can't get sleep?" She asked warmly. Whitecloud smiled. "More like can't find sleep. Your worries worry me, too." Waveclaw felt love rush up her skin. Whitecloud shared her worries! She looked at the river alongside him. "If you don't mind me asking, who is the other cat you love?"He whispered.
what was that in his voice? Bitter? Jealousy? Sorrow? They were all mixed together. He still loves me. Waveclaw realized with a jolt. Memories flew back- Whitecloud staring at her with sorrow- Whitecloud offering her prey- Whitecloud offering her help- Whitecloud still loved her. But after all these moons? Waveclaw admired his true passion for her. "I..." She started. DID she still really admire Lionfang? "It's not anymore." She said softly. She could literally hear a breath of relief come from Whitecloud.
Waveclaw felt shivers run up her spine as she entered her dream. There was Lionfang- running up the plains and laughing and stroking her, licking her viciously with emotion. She was watching herself swim up to him and drool over him. 'This must be from Starclan. I must really have to be with him...' thought Waveclaw. Then suddenly in her dream, there was a flash of lightning and she felt voices surround her... 'She could have made the best leader of Hiddenclan...' 'She was destined for a great future...' 'She's a traitor...' and when the voices cleared, Lionfang was no longer there, but there was a single white cloud in the sky.
Waveclaw woke with a jolt. It was dawn. Stormsky was no longer there. 'Out with Icepaw...' thought Waveclaw. 'Gee I better start working with Featherpaw. I'm usually out before Stormsky. She'll think I'm relaxing on her.' She yawned and strode out. Featherpaw was already waiting for her, eyes shining. "Are we training today? Battle training?" She asked eagerly. 'Boy what a tabby does to impress a tom...' thought Waveclaw with amusement. "Let's do some battle training." Waveclaw agreed. She flexed her claws. About time she got back to training with her apprentice. A pelt brushed beside her. Whitecloud. The image from her dream reappeared and she felt a rush of emotions enter her: confusion, love, pain, sorrow, wondering, curiosity. She met Whitecloud's gaze. "Good morning Wavey." He whispered, licking her ear. Waveclaw shot a look around. GOod. Stormsky wasn't back. If he had seen Whitecloud call her that and lick her ear, he would have murdered Whitecloud.
Making sure Featherpaw wasn't looking, a deep purr rumbled in her throat and she saw a look of passion appear on his face. 'Waveclaw... be careful...' she told herself. She was thinking about curling her tail around his, but told herself that she was already a "mate" to Stormsky AND "Lionfang" and that they were just friends. A bit of disappointment rose in Whitecloud's face when she didn't make any moves, but he said, "Eat together later?" "Of course!" She said. "Come on Featherpaw." Waveclaw smiled when Lionpaw waved at her.
-LOL I try and make it as close to a Warriors book as possible. Thanks Willowfoot! I try my best :)-
"Right. Now just sweep your claw across your opponents belly." Waveclaw instructed. Featherpaw did it clumsily. "That's almost right, but you want to keep a rigid outlook on your paw so that you can swipe nice and clean." Featherpaw looked at Waveclaw, confused as to why she didn't yell at her. Shrugging, she tried it again. Waveclaw saw some other mentors at the other side of the training hollow. "Keep practicing Featherpaw. I'll be right back." Waveclaw said. Featherpaw sighed. 'Sometimes I like the strict Waveclaw better... what's happened to her?' Shrugging, she continued.
Waveclaw trotted up to Dawnlight and Skywhisker. "Waveclaw! How are you doing?" Skywhisker asked. "Not being too hard on Featherpaw are you?" Dawnlight joked. "Nah. I think I'm doing pretty good." Waveclaw said. "I was thinking if the three of us wanted to go hunting this afternoon. "You mean you don't want to hunt with featherpaw? You usually pack her day up!" Skywhisker said, gaping. Waveclaw smiled. "I'm going to let her talk with Lionpaw and the other apprentices. I wanted to have some fresh warrior day together... with my friends." 'And away from any love sick toms...' thought Waveclaw.
She went back to Featherpaw who was trying hard to get the swipe. "That's great Featherpaw!" waveclaw said enthusiastic. "Now go back and get some rest, with Lionpaw." She added meaningfully. "At night we'll do some hunting practice and picking ticks, okay?" Waveclaw asked. Featherpaw smiled. Waveclaw was finally beginning to act like a mentor. "that sounds great!" She said.
Waveclaw dragged her tail back to camp. Featherpaw had ran ahead of her, eager to talk with Lionpaw. Waveclaw stopped at the edge of the tree trunk and saw Stormsky and Icepaw carry loads of prey back. Sighing, she turned away. 'A walk to the river will refresh me.' She thought. Slowly, she padded to the river and sat there, letting the scents around her fill her in.
"Waveclaw." Said a voice. waveclaw jumped and spun around. It was Bramblepelt, from Starclan. "Bramblepelt."She said respectfully. "I think you are confused." He said gently. Bramblepelt was the long ago deputy Waveclaw had heard about- a very close friend to Moonberry- almost her mate. "I am confused. I love Lionfang but I want to be leader." Waveclaw admitted sadly. "DO you love him?" Bramblepelt asked softly. "You know Waveclaw, life is like a forest. You are in the forest, and there are others out of the forest, beckoning you their way. They think they know the way to let you out. But in the end, it is your choice that will make you waveclaw." "What does that mean I should do?" Waveclaw asked.
There was no answer. She looked up. She was alone. "Waveclaw! I thought I'd meet you here!" In came Lionfang running towards her. She took a step back, Bramblepelt's voice echoing in her head. "Sorry Lionfang. I don't love you anymore." She said gently. Life stopped. Time stood still. Lionfang barely breathed. Waveclaw sucked in her breath. Maybe she was too sudden. Lionfang didn't move. "It's okay, Waveclaw. I came to tell you some news about me. Lilypetal is having kits. MY kits."Lionfang whispered. Waveclaw suddenly felt a rejoice. Sudden release, and happiness. "That's great Lionfang! Congrats!" Waveclaw said, rubbing against him friendly. "I hope we stay friends." He said slowly. "Of course we are!" Waveclaw said. In her heart, a sudden light was growing. starclan was showing her the way out of the forest.
-LOL thanks Spottedfire!! You guys are so nice to me! You guys certainly make my day! I love it when readers praise me :) :) :) Hope I can always write good for you! :)-
Waveclaw trotted back to her clan happily- her tail held high. She had no reason now to be afraid of being a traitor. She saw Featherpaw eating with Lionpaw, and noticed her and his tail slowly creeping around one another. She stifled a giggle. She saw Stormtail talking with Leafwhisker- (a beautiful she cat tabby that wasn't very close to Waveclaw) and she was glad Stormsky didn't look for her all the time. She entered the warriors den and saw Whitecloud sitting on his nest, putting moss on it. No one else was in sight.
Gulping down fresh air and puffing her fur out she padded over to him. "Hey Whitecloud." She whispered in his ear. Whitecloud turned his head. "Waveclaw! Good... I just wanted to talk to you about something!" He said. Waveclaw frowned. He was being excited about something! "Follow me." He padded out of the Warriors Den and went behind it. Waveclaw suddenly felt her heart pounding. What was her body doing? Whitecloud was just a friend!
"Y...yes?" waveclaw breathed. She almost could feel his comforting breath on her- his handsome paws rested around hers- his long neat tail clamped over hers. It all seemed too perfect- she was in love with Whitecloud! All this time of suffering against Stormsky and Lionfang it was Whitecloud that she loved- Whitecloud who was her best friend and it was Whitecloud who was there for her!
It had been Whitecloud who she rejected not only moons ago. It was Whitecloud who had whispered his affections to her and she had angrily pushed him away.
Now she felt excitement tingling in her fur. "Yes? Whitecloud?" She breathed. To make the moment more special, she moved into him, pressing their furs together. If he noticed, he didn't do anything because his eyes looked at Waveclaw. "Waveclaw I need your help." he started.
"I need your help in asking Wingpelt to be my mate."
WHAT?!?!?!? OH, NO YOU DIDN'T, TABBY BOY!! WHAT IS GOIN' ON HERE?! SHE IS LIKE, 'I LOVE YOU' TO HIS FACE, AND HE'S LIKE, 'HELP ME LOVE ANOTHER CAT!' TO HER FACE!! OH, NO YOU DIDN'T!!!
Spottedfire
oh, Waveclaw, i feel your pain. i was SO counting on that relatonship.
LOL Clover! I TOTALLy read your mind lol! Spottedfire, you are SO funny!!! Thanks Willowfoot! Oh gosh I hope that doesn't happen to me!! I mean, Waveclaw's and Whitecloud's sit. like Clover... :-| Hehe... I'll post after school, okay? ;)
O MY GOD!!!!!! Wow................ BURN!!!! you just got burned by another cat waveclaw...... SAD FACE!!!! LOL your story has been reviewed and graded by yours truly.
I GIVE IT A HUNDRED!!!!!!!! Anyone who objects to Sir Pickleheimers grade shall be punished by having to eat pickles for the rest of their life.
Waveclaw immediately felt a heavy stone being placed in her heart- weighing down all her happiness and sinking into her stomach painfully. Her fur went cold. She dropped her tail that was hoping to curl around Whitecloud's, and she moved away uncomfortably. Whitecloud noticed the change. "Wave...claw? What's wrong? DO you not approve of me and Wingpelt?" He asked gently. There was a moment. Waveclaw felt her throat choked with tears. Was this how Whitecloud had felt when she rejected him?
She spun around, forcing a smile on her face. "No! I mean, she's perfect for you! I just didn't know... that you two were close." Whitecloud gave his biggest smile. "Well Waveclaw, of course you wouldn't know. You're stuck up in your own little land worrying about Stormsky and Featherpaw, you barely even look into your own clanmates! Of course you don't notice me and her going out on hunting patrols almost every single day!" He exclaimed. Waveclaw looked down sadly. He was right. She was selfish and only cared about her own life. That was why Skywhisker was deputy- she cared for every single cat. "So...?" Whitecloud prompted. "How do I ask her to be my mate?" "Well..." Waveclaw said slowly... 'Should I make him look stupid?' She thought warily. 'Then Wingpelt will reject him and he will be MINE!' She thought enviously. 'But wait. This isn't right. I should make them be together- they deserve it. They're great together.' Said the other half. 'No! Are you kidding me? Take this chance and go for him! You know that he's ALL you've wanted your life!!' Growled the other side of Waveclaw. 'He's given you a chance- you've rejected him." Said the angel side. 'The best you can do now is repay him by helping him. Isn't that what deputies do?' Waveclaw made up her mind and smiled huge at him. "Alright. Do you want to ask her privately?" She asked. "Of course!" Whitecloud said. "Do you want to convey the message from mouth to mouth, through a message, or through someone else?" Waveclaw asked. Whitecloud thought about it. "Can you tell her for me?"
Waveclaw felt arrows fly through her heart. She? tell the beautiful Wingpelt that Whitecloud was in love with her? She could almost feel Wingpelt's smile growing and how she would purr with Whitecloud. "Uh, sure, if that's what you want." Waveclaw said. If she was uncomfortable, Whitecloud didn't notice. He paced from side to side. "I love her so much! I can't believe this... I can't wait for our kits! She's so beautiful... I can't stand it..."
Waveclaw held back tears. 'Stop it.' She chided to herself. 'You rejected him. You can't change anything now.'
Waveclaw moved from the warrior's den, almost limping in her step. She was so much in pain, her heart was swelling. She watched her handsome Whitecloud trot up to Wingpelt and purr loudly, making a heart with their tails. She felt emotions sink down her. What made her look down was when Wingpelt licked him and he responded.
"Waveclaw?" Skywhisker was there. "Are you okay?" Waveclaw didn't respond. "Let's go out for a walk." Skywhisker suggested gently. Waveclaw felt as if there were thorns in her paws as she went side by side Skywhisker to the river. "There's something going on. is it love?" Asked Skywhisker. "Yes!" Burst out waveclaw. "Yes! Oh please, Skywhisker, as my mentor, my deputy, my friend, help me!" She whispered. Skywhisker smiled gently. "Waveclaw, you will always have my guidance. It's Whitecloud, isn't it? I've noticed that you've padded after him for quite some time." "I don't know what I've done!" Waveclaw burst. "I thought I loved Stormsky, but now I love him, but he loves Wingpelt!" Skywhisker looked into the river. "Raintalon and I never had that problem." She said quietly. "Do you know why?" Waveclaw looked up. "It was because we were blunt in our affections- we cut right to the chase. We didn't keep guessing, or pretending. I told him I loved him with all my heart, and he told me the same." "So you're saying I should go up to Whitecloud and say to him that I love him." Waveclaw said flatly. Skywhisker cocked her head. "Not neccessarily. I think love will blossom for you. There are many other cats that admire you- you just haven't noticed." "What?" Waveclaw burst out. "MANY other cats?" Skywhisker purred. "Just take a look in the camp! Remember, don't be too long or the petals will fall!" Waveclaw cocked her head, but Skywhisker was already moving down back to Hiddenclan.
I swear Waveclaw. This is scary. I did the same thing, I said that they deserve to be together if it makes them happy and it doesn't matter how I feel. I feel the same as story Waveclaw. O. My. Gosh.
LOL!! love it, waveclaw!! is whitecloud ever going to understand she-cats? EVER?!?!? doesn't he know that they want you AFTER they reject you?!? really, whitedcloud?
Spottedfire
p.s. don't call me 'spotted', call me 'spotsy', please
Waveclaw sighed. She looked at her own reflection. WAS she really as pretty as Whitecloud once saw her? Would she ever be good enough for deputy? 'Not unless Skywhisker dies.' She finished. And that would never happen. She couldn't allow herself to do that. Never.
She padded back to camp just to find Whitecloud and Wingpelt emerging from the clan, tails twined in pure love. They were licking so romantically, Waveclaw had to cough to break the awkward moment. "Oh... Waveclaw!" Wingpelt said. Waveclaw had to admit Wingpelt was very beautiful and attractive- especially to Whitecloud. "waveclaw!" Whitecloud said, beaming brightly. "We were just going hunting. Mind if you join us?" "With PLEASURE." She said softly. She padded alongside whitecloud, and was silent as they trotted up the bank.
Instantly, Wingpelt leapt into a crouch and finished off a rabbit. "That was beautiful, gorgeous." Whitecloud purred. She giggled and they went into a fit. Rolling her eyes, waveclaw called that she would go deeper into the forest. She felt a familiar pang of being alone. She went further, only stopped for some mice and crows. "Wave...tail? Or is it Wavewhisker?" Waveclaw spun around. Thundertail. Her old friend. "Thundertail!" She called cheerfully. She felt warmth spread over her tail. She needed a friend nowadays. "it's Waveclaw." She added meaningfully. "Ah... that's right! The puny little apprentice I met once!" Waveclaw had to smile at his playful tone. "So how's hunting?" He asked. "Good." She mewed curtly. He furrowed. "Something wrong there? I can tell- don't give me that look now. Tell old Thundertail what's going on." Waveclaw thought. No, she couldn't tell him. he would never understand. She went with her already made up excuse: "I want to be deputy really bad." It was true, yet not the reason of her bad mood. She wanted to be with Whitecloud more than ever. "Of course... the ambitious little Wavekit." Thundertail smiled lightly. "Don't feel sad. You'll get your turn. I'm sure a BEAUTIFUL, smart, helpful, fierce young she-cat like you will get deputy soon!" He said. "Oh- Lionfang had 2 kits with Lilypetal." He said. "I-" Waveclaw was going to say I know, but held herself back. "That's wonderful! Do you have a mate?" The words were out. She didn't even know why she was talking to him about mating. she was supposed to be hunting! THIS was the reason why she wasn't deputy! Thundertail smiled at her. "Nope. I'm just ole Thundertail strolling by." "Well I ought to go now. The mice are rotting." She joked and Thundertail burst out laughing. Waveclaw somehow felt refreshed after the conversation.
-LOL! Wolfstar, I totally was just making up random names! As I said in a couple posts up (actually more than a couple), the story has NOTHING to do with the actual Hiddenclan. So, the names of the apprentices are totally different and made up, got it? :) Hope you understand that! Thanks so much Firestar!!!-
AWESOME, WAVEY!! Sorry about my rampage spasm on cbox, I was just mad that no one was on. THIS IS AMAZING! Firestar, u r soo right, this needs an Oscar! ...Or is it a Grammie? Maybe a Noble Prize?
-Spotsy: it's okay... I get rampages too. I'm sorry I'm not on so much. Thanks so much for supporting me! You guys are awesome. Thanks for apologizing. :)-
Waveclaw returned to camp, with three mice dangling at her jaws. She saw Whitecloud and Wingpelt just enter camp- their jaws barely with prey. She growled angrily. Those lovebirds didn't even go out to hunt- only smooch over themselves. She tossed her prey into the pile and spun around angrily just to bump into Skywhisker. "Sky! Whisker!" She said in broken words. "Waveclaw... I need to tell you I'm going into retirement." Skywhisker said softly. waveclaw felt her heart freeze in mid air. "What?" Was all she burst out. "You're not even that old yet! You still have an apprentice!" "I know!" Mused Skywhisker. "But I want others, like you, to become deputy." Waveclaw smiled weakly, and her stomach got butterflies at the mention of being deputy. "Sky, you don't have to do this for me." But Skywhisker was already walking away to the elder's den. Waveclaw looked up and saw Wolfstar on the top of the high rock, announcing a clan meeting. She slowly padded over, numb with shock. What was going on? "...has decided to retire into the elder's den." Wolfstar was announcing. "I say these words by the powers of Starclan the new deputy of hiddenclan shall be..."
There was dead silence, and waveclaw felt a grip tug at her fur. She closed her eyes.
"Waveclaw!!" Wolfstar yowled. Waveclaw's eyes flew open. She did it! She did it! She was the new deputy of Hiddenclan! She saw cats swim over her, congratulating her and she felt the warmth of her clan mates seep into her fur. "Speaking of which, there is a gathering tonight." Wolfstar said. "I have spoken to those cats who will come." Waveclaw's heart skipped a beat. Her first gathering as deputy... she met Wolfstar's eyes and she nodded.
Waveclaw felt the night wind ruffle her fur as she padded into the open night of the gathering. Already, the cats from Secret and Silentclan were there. She eagerly swam into the bonding cats, searching for no cat in particular, but wanting to meet new friends. "Yung un! Where's your Skywhiser?" Waveclaw spun around to meet a frail looking Secretclan cat. "She's not coming today. She's retired. I'm the new deputy." Waveclaw felt pride flare in her words. "What?" Outcried the elder, and Waveclaw took a step back, offended. "YOU take over Skywhiser? Pathetic little warriors... what is up with deputies these days?" waveclaw felt her fur get hot, but a new voice sounded. "Now now, Blueblossom, just clam down. I'm sure your just underestimating Waveclaw." Waveclaw looked up and a sudden warmth flooded her tail when she saw it was Thundertail. He winked at her as Blueblossom snorted and walked away. He moved closer to her. "Don't mind BLueblossom- she's a bit snappy these days." Waveclaw blushed. "So YOU'RE the new deputy, eh? See what I told you?" Thundertail winked again and Waveclaw felt pleasure and happiness blossom into her heart. Suddenly, Thundertail's happy face fell. "I shouldn't be telling you this, Waveclaw, but I know I have to. Our leader is planning on attacking Hiddenclan." Waveclaw felt her heart lurch. "Thundertail... you shouldn't be telling me." She saw softly. "I know." Thundertail lashed his tail angrily. "But Hiddenclan doesn't deserve it- Mintstar claims that hiddenclan has been over our territory!" "What?" Waveclaw stood up, her eyes blazing with anger and the defending of her own clan. "Of course not!" She spat, then saw other cats look at her. She sat down again. "We haven't!" "I know. That's why I'm telling you." Thundertail said gently. Waveclaw looked into his eyes and felt herself drawn to them... she started leaning into his warm breath... "Thundertail! There you are!" Waveclaw jolted up from her trance with Thundertail and looked uncomfortable. It was Lionfang. She averted his gaze. "Mintstar wants to see you." Lionfang said.
Waveclaw bounded away quickly to Featherpaw. "Keep low, and don't make too close friends. The Gathering will start soon." Featherpaw nodded and went off with Lionpaw at her heels. Then, the howl from Wolfstar meant that the Gathering had begun.
(umm... skywhisker is in 8th grade... i dont think she's ready for retirement... :D ANYWAY. back to the story. AND IF I LOOSE A LIFE DON'T BE OFFENDED BUT I'LL BE REALLY MAD!!!)
-Wolfy was kidding Jet :) Didn't you see her ":D" at the end? :) Lol you guys crack me up and especially you Wolfy! ;) I won't make you lose a life... not YET at least!! :) :)-
Waveclaw ducked low and found her eyes resting upon Thundertail talking to a young and pretty she-cat from his own clan. Wolfstar was talking, but she ignored it and shouldered her way over there. She coughed to get their attention. "Oh! Waveclaw! Watersky, allow me to introduce you to the beautiful, talented, and smart deputy of Hiddenclan... Waveclaw!" Waveclaw saw the beautiful she cat turn towards her and suddenly a thought boiled in her mind- was this cat Thundertail's mate? 'Even if she was, why does it matter?' Sharply said Waveclaw in the back of her mind. 'You're deputy and that's all that matters.' "Hi. I'm Fireflake, Thundertail's sister." Relief flooded into Waveclaw. "nice to meet you!" Waveclaw smiled lightly. With a nod, Fireflake disappeared and Waveclaw was left alone with Thunertail. "...Hiddenclan is striving strong!" Wolfstar had just finished. Waveclaw gave a yowl of approval with her other clanmates, and then sat down next to Thundertail. "Uh oh." Thundertail whispered to her as Mintstar stood up, shouldering her way past Wolfstar. "SECRETCLAN IS DONE WITH HIDDENCLAN! HIDDENCLAN HAS BEEN STEALING OUR TERRITORY!!"
Instantly Waveclaw was on her paws yowling with the outbursts that came from cats all around her. Mintstar's eyes blazed as she turned towards Wolfstar. "Do you DARE deny this?" She hissed. Wolfstar leaped forward so their noses were tip to tip. "Of course I deny this! Our warriors have been nowhere near you're territory!" Mintstar growled. Thundertail turned t oWaveclaw. "I told you..." Waveclaw narrowed her own eyes. What could possibly make mintstar accuse them? There haven't been any cat over by Secretclan- she hadn't ordered any recent patrols there and she herself hasn't seen Lionfang for a couple of moons. Waveclaw looked around the crowd, looking for any cat who was suspicious. BINGO! Well, not really. Featherheart was the only one shuffling her paws uncomfortably. Waveclaw moved her gaze to find Mistbreeze also looking down in sorrow/awkwardness. Turning to the other side of the clan, she saw Runningheart looking away uncomfortably. 3 suspects. One job. Yet any other skilled cat could be acting out here- she herself certainly did when she was secretly meeting Lionfang.
Wolfstar held Mintstar's gaze for a wavering second, and then said, "I swear by Starclan none of our cats have been on your borders." Mintstar lashed her tail. "Well, see to the loyalty of your warriors. If not, you will be expecting trouble." With a hiss, she leapt off the rock and the Gathering was over. WOlfstar immediately went to Waveclaw. "Say your goodbyes. Then head straight to camp." Wolfstar ordered crisply. Waveclaw nodded and then turned to Thundertail. "Well I suppose this is goodbye till the next Gathering." She meowed softly. It was really awkward suddenly with him. But they were sincerely just friends! Yet how many times did she say that when she was actually in love? 'NO!' Yowled her inner voice. 'You can't love him! You're deputy and you can't turn your back on your birth clan! Thundertail is JUST A FRIEND!' Thundertail also looked a bit wary. "Yeah. Well, um, see you next Gathering?" Waveclaw took a step closer to him daringly. "Yeah. Goodbye." "Bye." Yet they still sat there, neither one making the attempt to break away from each other's eyes. Waveclaw kept staring into his handsome eyes and Thundertail was absorbed in her beautiful green eyes. Finally, with Wolfstar's gaze on her, waveclaw tore away. "Wavey- wait."
Waveclaw froze. It was the first time any one but her closest friends called her "?Wavey" "Yes?" She said to Thundertail, warmth in her body. He looked awkward. "Uh... happy hunting. I guess. I mean, will you meet me at the border tomorrow at sun high?" He blurted it so fast Waveclaw was speechless before Wolfstar padded over. Waveclaw stiffened. Had she heard their conversation. "I think that's a long enough goodbye." Wolfstar said curtly. "Come Waveclaw. We have business to discuss." Growling at the Secretclan warrior, she pulled Waveclaw away, leaving Thundertail's desperate eyes searching for an answer.
Oooh, I was gonna say, Waveclaw and Thundertail were getting a little too close for comfort. LOVE.... some say it happens once in your life... others say it's common... I myself say it is to be treasured, never abused...
Dawn. Sun. Light. Waveclaw woke and stretched her legs, a happy feeling suddenly growing upon her at the sight of seeing Thundertail today. She went outside to see Featherpaw sitting in her normal spot. 'Geez I need to start training her more.' She thought. "Waveclaw? Can our apprentices train today together?" It was Stormsky. However, his eyes did not carry the usual love passion for her. Steady, she nodded.
Waveclaw sat next to Stormsky to watch Featherpaw's fighting skills grow. "Waveclaw? Leafwhisker is having kits." Stormsky paused. "My kits." Waveclaw felt joy burst into her heart. She didn't know why. "Stormsky, that's fantastic!" She said. "Wait- you're not mad??!!" Stormsky said. "of course not! I never loved you, no offense. But now I am happy for you!" Waveclaw said. Stormsky smiled sweetly. "Thanks waveclaw! I knew you were the best deputy ever! Icepaw! Get your butt over there!" He called back to his apprentice.
Sunhigh. Waveclaw trotted nervously to the entrance of camp. She hoped nobody noticed she was gone. "Waveclaw!" It was Whitecloud charging his way there. She got a bit jittery. "Yes, Whitecloud?" She said. "Are you going hunting? Can I come?" Asked Whitecloud. "What about Wingpelt?" Asked Waveclaw, a bit bitterly. Whitecloud looked down. "We have a big argument yesterday. So can I come?" "Sorry I wanted to go alone." Waveclaw said hastily. Whitecloud shrugged painfully and ran off. 'Oh Starclan. I hope this is worth it. Rejecting Whitecloud was about the worst thing I could have done...' She padded to the Secretclan border and waiting patiently. Then, out of the corner of her eye, 2 cats came out. 2 cats??!! Wait, what was going on?? Waveclaw suddenly felt claws scrape against her pelt and a roaring in her ears. 4 cats landed on top of her and pinned her down. "What's going on!!" She hissed. "Oh you know." Hissed the lead cat- Windpelt of Secretclan said. "you're the trespassing cat, aren't you? We've caught your scent around and knew you were coming today." 'How did they know I was coming-' waveclaw thought suddenly. 'NO!' She yowled and roared inside her head. 'NO! THUNDERTAIL COULDN'T HAVE TURNED ME IN!!'
yeah, really. no offense AT ALL, but i kinda think waveclaw(in the story, not you) deserved it. i hate it when cats leave their clan for some enemy warrior. but thats just me. :)
LOL I know right? I totally think that too, that's why I did it! For suspense and hatred here! LOL I love loyalty! I was so happy Firestar chose Sandstorm who was actually in Thunderclan :) Thanks Firestar!!!
The four cats dragged her alongside the floor, hissing every time her tail flicked in annoyance. 'No. Thundertail COULDN'T have turned me in!!' Waveclaw thought frantically. There was no possible reason why Thundertail would turn her in! She had to get back to camp!
too late. She had entered the Secretclan realm. She saw Lionfang sharing tongues with his friend and when he saw her he jumped up, his eyes wild with fright for his friend. She saw Mintstar's eyes blaze down on her and she flinched as she met Thundertail's eyes. Anger surged through her. By now, half of Secretclan was gathered.
"So." Mintstar started. "What do you have to say for yourself... trespasser?" "I have not gone over your borders." Waveclaw said steadily. Hisses from the crowd and she growled with one cat unsheathed his claws. "Silence." Mintstar said to her clan. "We have caught your scent over the border VARIOUS times, WaveCLAW..." mintstar said slowly. Waveclaw looked straight at Mintstar. "I don't know why you're accusing us with so little evidence, but I have not ordered any patrol over here or been here myself." Mintstar coldly glanced at her. "Take her to the cave in the back. Rowanclaw! Skynight! Thundertail! Guard her!" waveclaw felt coldness seep into her as she was thrust into the cold black cave.
She barred her teeth. She could easily take down the three warriors outside of her cave. She heard paw steps. Thundertail. "It's not for the reason you think, Waveclaw, if that's what you think." Thundertail started softly. Waveclaw looked away, tears brimming the edges of her eyes. She swallowed. "What other reason could there be?" She burst angrily. Thundertail turned his head to the entrance and saw no one entering. Then, he went to sit by Waveclaw and pressed his fur against her. To his delight, she didn't move away. "Waveclaw, I turned you in because I love you." Waveclaw felt claws scratch at her heart at his words. He loved her? Since when? Waveclaw hated going against her own clan. What about Whitecloud? Would they ever hunt together again?
She stayed still, not moving. She felt lifeless. "I... like you." Waveclaw said, mumbling the truth out to him. Thundertail gently lifted his tail and put it on her body. She felt love seep into her anger in the heart and looked him in the eyes. "I turned you in so that you would be in this cave and then I volunteered to guard you so I would see you every day." "So I'm a prisoner here." Waveclaw said bitterly. "And now almost every cat wants my tail." "I don't." Thundertail said softly, his breath into her ear. "I want to be with you forever! can't you see...?" Waveclaw's ears pricked up as another set of claws was heard. She broke apart from his loving grasp and went deeper inside the cave. She growled. "Get away thundertail!" Thundertail knew she was acting. "Let's go, Thunder." Said Rowanclaw. Thundertail and Rowanclaw started for the entrance, and Thundertail looked back to stare at Waveclaw's own eyes with such tenderness Waveclaw cried, with confusion.
-You guys are funny. I pity Leafpool. Yet she's stupid for having kits. Psh.-
Waveclaw shivered and the cold crept up her fur. She crumpled on the ground and wished she could have Thundertail's warm body around her. Or was it Whitecloud? Her heart ached for his familiar scent. His white pelt. Familiar eyes. What was the clan thinking by now? Waveclaw abandoned the clan? Waveclaw had run away?
She saw Thundertail sneak in. "Rowanclaw and Skynight are on break." He whispered, his tail barely touching her haunches. She breathed. "Thundertail... please help me escape." She choked on her words. Thundertail looked hurt but saw she was telling the truth. He nuzzled her affectionately and licked her various times. Waveclaw made no move, but her heart lurched with happiness at being with him. She curled her tail around his. "I'll see you at the Gatherings." She whispered.
"Okay." Thundertail meowed slowly. "Fly." And she did.
"Waveclaw!!!???? Where have you been?" Wolfstar asked tartly. "I was just captured by Secretclan." Waveclaw said. "They suspected me as the trespasser." "What? Hogwash." Griffenclaw said. Dragonwing came to stand by Wolfstar. "You escaped! That's bad news. Should we attack them or wait for them to attack us?" She asked. Wolfstar narrowed her eyes. "We should wait. Having our clan as the field is our advantage. Besides, we shouldn't go look for a fight. Come on, let's go back to the clan."
Waveclaw trudged behind her leader. "Waveclaw!!!" It was Whitecloud charging over from the opposite side of the clan. waveclaw's heart lifted as they embraced and nuzzled. "I was so worried!" He said. "I'm fine now." Waveclaw said. "How's Wingpelt?" "Pathetic." Whitecloud said. "I miss her with all my heart but she's gone off with Thornpelt." Waveclaw's mind lurched at his first sentence, but swallowed. It was okay! Right now, she had to make sure her clan was safe from Secretclan.
woah. CONFLICTING EMOTIONS!! lol that was for the story waveclaw lol. yes, i agree with both spotsy. leafpool is stupid and needs to die but she is one hackin awesome medicine cat. LOL
LOL Nice Willowfoot... hehe... Actually, I'm not sure yet. I'll think of it after I'm done. Any ideas for a title? I'm thinking like Waveclaw's Destiny or maybe "Ashes Falling" or something cool...
Wolfstar growled. "I can smell them coming." She hissed. "Featherpaw! Get in the shadows! I can see your butt sticking out!" Waveclaw gritted her teeth at her apprentice and Featherpaw's heart was pounding. waveclaw could see the Secretclan cats- she scanned the ranks for Thundertail or Lionfang- but couldn't see. "Secretclan! Attack!" Roared the deputy, Birdwhisker.
The clans become lighted. Secretclan fell on top of Hiddenclan, and the fighting began. Waveclaw instantly saw Thundertail fighting Runningheart and she hissed as Thundertail got a bad scratch. Her heart ached for him and she just wanted to wrap herself around him and purr.
Her thoughts were cut off as a Secretclan warrior, Hollyclaw, leapt on her back. Waveclaw's training with SKywhisker flew in her mind. Dodging her heafty blows, Waveclaw nimbly swept off to one side and hit Hollyclaw with so much force Hollyclaw leapt away, growling. Claws tore at her hind legs and she spun around, growling with so much integrity. It was Cloudflame, a tom she had seen at the Gatherings.
Waveclaw had to admit he was tough to fight- despite her training. She kicked him off her back and sent him sprawling to the ground. She looked around. Hiddenclan seemed to win. "Waveclaw! Waveclaw! Help me!" Waveclaw spun around to see Whitecloud under the claws of Thundertail. Her heart broke as she raced over. She loved Thundertail- she really did. But she had to save Whitecloud. Not only because she loved him too, but because he was a family member- a clan member. She tore off Thundertail gently and he looked hurt, and raced off. "I'll go scare him off." Waveclaw growled. Whitecloud nodded thankfully and curled his tail around hers. Again she felt torn as she raced after thundertail, acting as if she was going to rip him apart.
They ran together till they reached the river. Waveclaw purred as they embraced lovingly and violently started to lick. "I'm sorry." Waveclaw whispered in his ear as they licked each other, leaning against each other. She let his scent drown her. Thundertail... "I love you Waveclaw. Please join us!" Thundertail whispered.
But Waveclaw gave him one last lick and said, "We can't ever be together. I'm sorry. Goodbye." And she raced back to her camp.
She limped back to her clan. Her fur prickled at the sight of Whitecloud and she raced over, licking him with such love in her actions that Whtiecloud pulled her over and they embraced, purring together and wrapping themselves around each other. "You love me Waveclaw!" He gasped when they finally stopped. "You never told me!" "I couldn't have. You loved Wingpelt." 'And I also loved Thundertail.' She added silently. Whitecloud smiled. "But it's over now, isn't it? wingpelt and I? You're mine and mine forever. I love you so and you love me." Whitecloud leaned into her and Waveclaw felt so dizzy. This was all happening so fast! "Come on." She said, happiness springing in her heart. "Let's help our clan."
Waveclaw brought some marigold to Cloverspots. "is this horsetail??" She asked. Cloverspots snorted. "You think that's even CLOSE to horsetail??!! THAT'S MARIGOLD!!" She yowled angrily, wrapping Dragonwing in cobwebs. Waveclaw flinched. "Hey!" Whitecloud said protectively, wrapping himself over Waveclaw. "Don't talk to her like that! She was just helping!" He growled and CLoverspots rolled her eyes. "mates..." she hissed.
"We've defeated Secretclan! Yay!" Said Blossomkit, a new born kit. "We ALWAYS defeat them, what'd you think?" Snorted Tigerkit, brother to Blossomkit. Waveclaw watched the kits with a wild light in her eyes. "I'd like kits one day." Breathed Whitecloud into her ear. Waveclaw shifted uneasily. She didn't want kits- just to be leader...
"waveclaw get over here!" Cloverspots said. "I need to fix you up." Waveclaw limped over and let Cloverspots wound her torn ear. "Thanks Clover." Waveclaw mumbled before going over to Whitecloud. "Secretclan will not be happy." She mumbled. "Especially with a Gathering tomorrow..." Whitecloud added. "Come on- let's get some rest."
Waveclan opened her eyes. She found the sun staring into her. She felt around. This wasn't her nest. She immediately woke up. She was in a path of grass and the air around her was foggy and light. She saw two cats pad up to her. "Ummm... where am I?" She asked. "You are in Starclan." Said the first tom. "What? I'm dead?" Waveclaw snarled. "Or... is this a dream." "Waveclaw, we are sorry." Whispered the second cat- a she-cat. Waveclaw looked closer at the she-cat. "Nightwhisper? Is that you?" She asked. "Yes. It's me." She said plainly. "I have waited for the day you would lead Hiddenclan, but you can not any more." She said. ' Waveclaw felt chills strike her heart. What were they talking about?? This was a dream!! Right? She thought that they were here to give her a prophecy! "What's the prophecy?" She asked. Nightwhisper shook her head. Hawkfire stepped forward. "There is no prophecy. We're sorry Waveclaw. You're dead."
She was waiting for the two cats to burst out laughing saying how it was a joke- how she was still alive- how she was getting a prophecy- how she would wake up to Whitecloud's handsome face and lovely smell.
Silence. No laugh. No joke. No prophecy. No... no Whitecloud.
"You're kidding." She flatly said. "I'm... dead." "Waveclaw, you knew that you were going to die someday..." gently said Nightwhisper. Waveclaw whipped around. "Yes!!! I knew!!BUT I thought I would die as Wavestar!! I thought I would die defending my clan!!!!" She hissed with anger blaring through her eyes. Nightwhisper hung her head.
Suddenly, Bramblepelt (who remembers him?? :)] came from the shadows. "Stop making this so sudden for her." He hissed to Hawkfire and Nightwhisper. He moved besides Waveclaw. "Waveclaw, I'm sorry you had to hear it so sudden..." "How did I die??" Waveclaw asked, furious. "I was destined to become LEADER OF Hiddenclan!! HOW. DID. I DIE." She spat into Bramblepelt's face. Bramblepelt closed his eyes.
"You were kitting. You and Whitecloud had always been so close- the kits were already there in your belly long ago. But cloverspots didn't recognize your large belly- she thought it was from your eating.Even when she was fixing you from the Secretclan attack she didn't notice. It came while you were sleeping. A tiny she-kit. Something was wrong- Cloverspots was too late from picking marigold. You were losing blood..." Bramblepelt trailed off. "I...kitted?" Waveclaw asked, a bit confused. She had never noticed her big belly swollen. All she was worried about was her future as leader and all her lovesick mates! "Is my kit still alive?" She asked. "Yes." Bramblepelt said. "Whitecloud is taking care of her. She's nursing under Morningpelt." "What's her name?" Asked Waveclaw.
(Any ideas for her kit's name? Please make it pretty or cool :) and don't worry, this isn't the end of the story, it's just the beginning :)}
(Idk, maybe Cloudkit? Or Stormykit? Possibly Secretkit or Lionkit? Maybe Featherkit or Swiftkit, Mistkit, Shadowkit, Dreamkit, Starkit, Sweetkit, or Whitekit? Or- O.O WHAT IF YOU NAME IT WAVEKIT AND HAVE IT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE YOU? Or Whitecloud is so sad and he goes back with Wingpelt and name her Wingkit?) Just an idea.
"Her name is Silverkit. She has Whitecloud's white pelt, yet your fiery ambition." Bramblepelt finished. "I never got to be leader." Waveclaw said sadly, looking down. Bramblepelt lifted her head. "You didn't. But Silverkit can." He whispered.
Silverkit opened her eyes. "Silverkit! Come get your milk!" Said Morningpelt. Silverkit spat in her head. 'I don't want your milk. I want my REAL mom's milk. Oh mother, where are you??'
Silverkit watched her father come back from hunting and pelted after him. "DADDY DADDY DADDY!! Are you done hunting? Can you take me battle training????!!!! Please???" "Silverkit, you learn after a while that your parents always say no..." Came a voice behind her. Silverkit spun around, teeth barred- it was Flamekit- her 'littermate' or Morningpelt's son. "Shut up Flamekit." She said, half teasing. "I think that Whitecloud loves me enough to take me out... right?" She turned back to Whitecloud.
Whitecloud sighed. "I'm sorry Silverkit but Flamekit is right. no kits out of the clan." Silverkit slumped, and she sensed Flamekit's sympathy for her. "Instead... do you want to play Clans?" Asked Flamekit, trying to cheer her up. Silverkit eyed Flamekit steadily. 'He's just trying to help you. Don't tantrum over that.' She thought. "Sure!" She cried, racing him back to the nursery.
Waveclaw watched Whitecloud and Silverkit run through camp, and her heart ache. The new deputy was Dragonwing and she bit back a retort over how good of a leader she would have been.
"Roar!! Fear me Hiddenclan!! Secretclan will take over!!!" Roared Flamekit and he tussled over Silverkit. "Silentclan will destroy Secretclan! Sneak Attack Patrol! Go!!!" Yelled Hawkkit. "Hawkkit... you don't yell Sneak Attack when you give a SNEAK attack, that's why it's supposed to be sneaky." Interrupted Streamkit. "UGH... Streamkit, you don't have to always poop the story do you??" Complained her sister Skykit. Skykit, Streamkit, Flamekit, and Hawkkit were the kits of Morningpelt. Silverkit was, of course, nursing with Morningpelt, and Smokekit and Blackkit were the eldest kits, going to be apprentices in half a moon.
"What's up with Smokekit and Blackkit? They're getting so haughty..." Flamekit whispered to Silverkit. "Well, they're going to be apprentices. They think kits are... immature." Silverkit added silently, 'and they should be excited to be apprentices. I can't wait to start training and kick some serious Secretclan butt out there.' Flameclan purred in amusement, as if knowing what she was thinking. "I'm going to go talk to them." Flamekit said, throwing Silverkit an evil look.
-OMG Spotsy, those are BEAUTIFUL names!! Thank you so much!!! I really like Silverwing, Silverwave, Silversoul, and Silverfeather!!! I will consider!!! Thanks!!-
Silverkit walked side by side her friend up to Blackkit and Smokekit. "Well well well if it isn't Flamedung and Silvermotherdead..." Commented Blackkit, the more arrogant of the two. Silverkit clenched her teeth together as if she was going to rip our his heart for calling her Silvermother dead. Flamekit put his tail on her back and her fur flew flat. "Just watch." She hissed. "When I'm an apprentice I WILL. BEAT. YOU." Flamekit and her walked away. "i don't see the point in talking to them." She hissed. "Well at least Smokekit didn't say anything." Observed Flamekit. "Silverkit, come here!!! Come here!!!" Streamkit was calling her and Silverkit raced over to her best friend. "What is sit Streamkit??" She said. "Skykit is attacking Hawkkit!" She said. Silverkit blinked.
(hey, can we, as other cats in Hiddenclan, add more to the story? Like, I watched the kits play fighting. Ya da ya da ya da.... And all that jazz. So, if it's okay with you, can we?)
->Spotsy, of course you can!! Just please don't put any dramatic stuff or it'll turn out just like a regular page, but this one is called Waveclaw's self story. I am open to comments from readers, as you said from their perspective. An acceptable post would be this:
I watched Silverkit walk around camp with Flamekit, and chuckled to myself. Although I was an elder, I knew much about Waveclaw's daughter- after all, I was her previous mentor. The same fiery eyes, the leader spirit, Silverkit could just as might take over Waveclaw's destiny as leader! -Skywhisker (Pretending that was from Sky's point of view) Does that make sense?
"This is the final show down!! Whoever wins this battle is going to fight Smokekit, the hottest kit of us all!" Squealed Streamkit. Silverkit sighed. She knew of her best friend's obsession with the handsome kit. She rolled her eyes. "Streamkit, come off it... Skykit is going to win paws down." Silverkit said. Streamkit glared at Silverkit. "Stop being a pessimist." She growled playfully. "Go Hawkkit!" She yelled.
From the corner of her eye, Silverkit could see Smokekit watching Streampaw. Was it admiration in his eyes? Or amusement? Or... was he watching her? Quickly hurrying away, Silverkit paused by Flamekit. "Hey Flamekit, do you want to go hunting tonight?" Asked Silverkit secretly. "What??!! Silverkit, you know hunting out of clan is forbidden..." he said. Silverkit rolled her eyes. "There is NOTHING to do as kits, honestly!!!" "You can clean the elder's bedding." Said a deep voice. Silverkit gasped and spun around, but Rainflight had only heard the last portion of her sentence. "Daddy!!" Flamekit threw himself on his dad and bit his tail. Rainflight faked a death and Silverkit couldn't help but burst out laughing. Rainflight was the funniest dad and she couldn't help but feel jealous of Flamekit. HER dad never visited her, but only brooded to himself outside of the clan.
"Let's go visit the elders!! They MUST have a good story for us!!" Flamekit suggested and Silverkit instantly forgot all traces about hunting as she paced Flamekit to the nursery. "Ah..." Said Skywhisker, the youngest elder. "Our kits want a story...well, I shall tell you a story of a wonderful young cat who was destined for a great leadership, but her love relationships got in the way..."
I chuckled slightly as Silverkit listened eagerly to Skywhisker. Little did she know that this was a tale about her own mother! I was cleaning the bedding in the elder's den, which was always a treat. They had great stories if the clan before I joined.
Silverkit listened to Skywhisker in fascination, yet she found it odd that Skywhisker never mentioned the she-cat's name, or what clan she came from. Flamekit also seemed to notice because at the end of the story he asked, "What was her name?" Silverkit saw the slightest bit of hesitation in Skywhisker's eyes. "She was called Blackwing." Hastily covered Dragonwing, as she came into the den, glaring at Skywhisker. "Now, you kits have had a long day, off to your nap." Silverkit padded silently after Flamekit. Blackwing?? Was Dragonwing telling the truth or no?
Flamekit fell into step with Silverkit. "Wow... Blackwing was really brave. She risked meeting Thundertail AND Lionfang while keeping up with Whitestorm and Stormclaws." Silverkit twitched her ear. Somehow the names didn't sound right. "Yeah... she must have been really pretty and popular." Silverkit agreed as her and Flamekit turned the corner.
"Silverkit! Silverkit! Silverkit!! You WILL NOT guess what happened!!" Squealed Streamkit. "What." Silverkit said flatly. "SMOKEKIT WON AGAINST SKYKIT!!" Streamkit cried out. Silverkit looked past her- a look of triumphant on Smokekit's face as he had Skykit pinned. "I bet I could beat him paws down." Flamekit hissed in Silverkit's ears. Silverkit growled to show she agreed. As she approached Morningpelt she could feel Smokepaw's burning gaze resting on her body. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she was glad when Streamkit came and curled up next to her. She yawned. "I think Smokekit is the hottest kit, don't you agree Silverkit?" She said sleepily. Silverkit didn't reply. She was thinking about something else. About Blackwing.
Silverkit woke up. Wolfstar was yowling for a clan meeting. "Can I go Morningpelt?" Silverkit said. "Are you old enough to catch your own prey?" She asked. "Yes..." muttered Silverkit beneath her breath. She and Flamekit pushed their way out of Morningpelt's claws and sat in the back of the clan where Smokekit and Blackkit were sitting in the front. "From this day, Smokekit shall be known as Smokepaw. His mentor shall be Blackbranch! Blackkit shall be Blackpaw and his mentor shall be Oceanmist." Announced Wolfstar. "SMOKEPAW! BLACKPAW!" Chanted the clan. Silverkit didn't join them. She was watching Smokepaw, and their eyes met for a few seconds before he was crowded by friends congratulating him. "Boy I can't wait till that's us." Flamekit said. Silverkit tipped her tail in agreement. She couldn't wait to be the best warrior in the clan.
"SILVERKIT!!! GET BACK HERE!!" Yowled Griffenclaw. He dragged Flamekit in front of Wolfstar. "Wolfstar, these two were caught sneaking outside of camp." He hissed. Silverkit narrowed her eyes to challenge Wolfstar while Flamekit looked down in shame. "I caught a mouse!" She said proudly. "IGNORANT KIT!" Snarled Wolfstar. "JUST like your mother." She spat. Silverkit's fur bristled. Just like her mother! How dare Wolfstar say that about her mother!!! "Waveclaw was the best warrior in Hiddenclan- and you know it!! I'll be JUST like her!!!!!" "Silence!!" Snapped Dragonwing, coming down. "Don't speak to your leader like that!!" "No- it's fine. Let the little ones speak their mind." Chuckled Wolfstar. She yawned. "Silverkit and Flamekit will be assigned to clean out the elder's bedding for the next moon." "YAY!" Cheered Blackpaw. "No more work for us!!" Silverkit noticed Smokepaw didn't say anything beside his brother- only stared at her. She hissed in annoyance and she and Flamekit went back to the nursery den.
(Okay I'm going to post more because I feel like it...)
"Life as a kit sucks." Silverkit snorted to Streamkit. Streamkit growled in agreement. "You only say that because you can't play with Smokepaw anymore." Said Silverkit, half to herself. She saw Flamekit on the other side of the nursery den cleaning out Skywhisker's bedding. She sighed and went outside. 'I'll get some fresh water for the elders.' she decided. Taking some moss, she started to go outside. "Wait! Silverkit!" Silverkit spun around, bracing herself for a stupid warrior, but it was Smokepaw. "Yes? Smokepaw?" She asked cautiously. "You know kits aren't allowed out of camps, but your duty is to the elders. Getting moss is a good idea. I'll come with you." Silverkit was about to argue against him but a voice sounded, "Good idea Smokepaw. Nice thinking." Blackbranch said. Silverkit sighed.
She and Smokepaw paced out of camp until they reached a shady place of the forest covered in moss. "So... your friend Streamkit is nice." He commented slowly. Silverkit raised her eyebrow. (if they have them) "She's crazy over you and you know it." She said blandly. Smokepaw couldn't help but smile at her. "Yep. I'm just that way...attractive to she-cats. Streamkit herself isn't that bad-looking, but you're prettier." Silverkit twitched her ear. Was that supposed to mean something? Uncomfortable, she took a heap of moss and was about to leave when Smokepaw suddenly stopped. "Shh!" He hissed. "A Silentclan patrol is on their way to Hiddenclan!!"
Silverkit crouched over Smokepaw and saw a patrol of 4 cats cross over the river. "It's not a battle patrol." Silverkit observed silently. "Good. They must just want to talk." "Yes, but talk about what?" Snarled Smokepaw. "There's nothing TO talk about! If it's territory, Silentclan has the most territory of us all!" "Come on- let's get back to camp." Silverkit said, a weird feeling rumbling in her belly.
Smokepaw and Silverkit pelted side by side into Hiddenclan and yowled, "Secretclan!!" Instantly, warriors sprung out of their den, hackles raised. "Dont' worry, it's not a battle patrol." Silverkit reminded Smokepaw. Wolfstar came out of her den. "Still- prepare for battle." She said. Warriors disappeared into the thrushes above the clan. Silverkit felt excitement tingling in her pelt. Flamekit raced over. "Silverkit! What's going on??" He asked.
Streamkit, Hawkkit, and Skykit were right behind him as they skidded to a halt right after Flamekit. Silverkit narrowed her eyes and watched the entrance as the 4 cats from Silentclan entered Hiddenclan.
I felt a shivering pelt meet mine. Streamkit. What was she nervous about? "What's wrong Streamkit??" I asked. "That's- that's- Darkpaw!" I narrowed my eyes. "What's... wrong with Darkpaw??" I asked. Streampaw breathed out loud, "he's SO........ hand...some..." I was alarmed. Streakit, of course, falling for any handsome cat. WHy didn't she fall for her own brothers? I snorted to myself. "Streamkit you can't mate with another cat from a different clan!!" I urgently whispered. "What are you she-cats talking about?" Flamekit walked up to us. "nothing" I snapped. Offended, he walked away to Hawkkit and I immediately wished I hadn't been so mean to my friend. I saw Wolfstar talk with Dragonwing and the 4 Silentclan cats. THe other warriors murmured in apprehension. I shivered.
Then, Wolfstar went onto the high stone. "HIDDENCLAN! GATHER HERE... Silentclan and I, along with Dragonwing, have made a life-changing decision. Silentclan and Hiddenclan will start an alliance!" That wasn't so life-changing... I thought. There had to be something else.
The warriors yowled in approval. Alliances were always good. But why a sudden alliance? "But! There is a price to pay. As an alliance, we must support each other and Silentclan is low on cats. We will send some cats over there to live and help for 7 moons." Silence. Then, outrage. Warriors were yowling everywhere, howling, "WE'VE NEVER SENT CATS OVER TO OTHER CLANS!" "NO! NEVER!! HIDDENCLAN CATS ARE HIDDENCLAN CATS!" Silverkit felt stunned. No! None of the cats could leave! Not Flamekit- not streamkit- none of her friends! Not Skywhisker- or Dawnlight! No!! Wolfstar growled and the clan fell silent. "We have chosen 4 cats to go with them. Runningheart- Blackbranch- Flamekit and Silverkit."
"No!" Streamkit yowled, flinging herself onto Silverkit. "NO! I won't let you take her!! I'll go in her stead... at least then I can actually live with Darkpaw." Silverkit felt a sting of hurt in her.Streamkit only wanted to go for Darkpaw- not for friendship. She turned and saw Flamekit's worry expression too as he clung to Hawkkit.
Wolfstar's eyes clouded. "Say your farewells. We shall meet in 7 moons." '7 moons!' Silverkit thought, her heart breaking. Her family! Separated from her. She ran blindly to Whitecloud and sobbed aloud to him. "Silverkit... be strong." He said, muffled in pain. Silverkit felt her crystal heart shattering as she saw Smokepaw staring at her, his eyes also clouded. Silverkit did not feel annoyance, but sorrow. He actually cared for her. She started to walk towards him. They met each other's eyes. "Silverkit-" "Smokepaw-" They started at the same time. They both stopped. "Smokepaw I just wanted to tell you, you're going to be a great warrior. And when I return hopefully you'll still remember me." She said, almost in a whisper. "Silverkit I wanted to tell you you're a beautiful, strong, she-cat, and I'm sure you'll do fine in Silentclan. I'm sure your mom would be proud of you and will you to continue." Smokepaw started. Silverkit felt her heart thumping. Her mom. Was Waveclaw watching her now? "Uh... I hope you remember me when you come back. Don't get too friendly with any of those Silentclan cats." Smokepaw joked and Silverkit had to give a smile.
"Well... goodbye." Silverkit said. "Goodbye. 7 moons." Smokepaw said. "7 moons." Agreed Silverkit. And without a word she bounded with Flamekit, Blackbranch and Runningheart to the Silentclan cats.
"Greetings young ones." Said Tigerwhisker to Flamekit and Silverkit. "I am Tigerwhisker, the deputy of Silentclan." "And Silverstar your leader." Silverkit echoed, recalling Skywhisker's retelling of the gathering. "She shares the first part of your name." Flamekit whispered. Silverkit paused. Would she be Silverstar one day? "I heard Silverstar is ill. How is she managing?" Runningheart asked Redtail, the second she-cat. "You can see once you come back to our camp. Since we are allies, there are no secrets. You are a part of our clan now." She answered. 'I am a part of Silentclan?' Silverkit told herself. 'Never! I am ALWAYS a part of Hiddenclan! No cat can ever take that away from me!!'
Silverkit followed Tigerwhisker's footsteps slowly, pausing now and then to look back and see Smokepaw's face in the shadows. She missed her camp now more then ever. "It's okay. You have me." Flamekit said, sensing Silverkit's dismay. She smiled weakly and pressed her fur into her friend. Runningheart and Blackbranch brought up the rear, Blackbranch talking to Redtail and Runningheart talking with Rainfur. Tigerwhisker moved aside some brushes and they entered Silentclan. Silverkit observed it was very well hidden and very quiet- only the sound of cat's paws skittering up rocks was heard. "Silverstar! We have brought our alliances here." Silverkit saw a gray cat swim out. Silverkit, unlike Silverstar, had fiery orange eyes while Silverstar had blue eyes. She was beautiful!
(That is Silverkit, ignore the comment earlier on about having Whitecloud's white pelt)
Silverstar saw Flamekit and instantly her eyes went wild. "You! What's your name?" She asked. "Flamekit." He replied quietly. "We have some kits to keep you company." She turned to Silverkit. "And you?" "Silverkit." She said clearly. Silverstar pricked her ears up at her name. "A kit? You seem old enough to be an apprentice." "Back in Hiddenclan we would have become apprentices in just a couple of sunhighs." "You will be an apprentice tomorrow, along with FLamekit. The Apprentices will be looking for friends. We only have a brother and sister." Silverstar said.
Silverkit looked across to two cats who seemed to be apprentices. The brother looked at her with sudden interest and she saw the she cat stare at Flamekit. 'UGH.' She thought. 'They're thinking about us as mates. Are you kidding? I'm Hiddenclan at heart.'
-Thanks Skywhisker! :)-
ReplyDeleteDelicately, one by one, the snowflakes fell down and landed softly on the earth. Wavekit slowly looked up into the sky and her green gaze pierced the falling white flakes.
She giggled as they landed on her nose and as she tried to look at it, she went crossed eyed.
"Mouse brain- you've never seen snow, have you? No wonder you're acting like this."
Wavekit sat up and stared angrily in the eyes of the haughty Brambleclaw.
'Arrogant fox brain' thought Wavekit.
"Now don't be bragging Brambleclaw! You know WE acted like that too."
Wavekit turned to see the love sick eyes of Ravenpelt. She purred in front of Brambleclaw.
Ignoring the lovestruck mates, Wavekit skidded around to the open center of Hiddenclan camp.
"Hey! Whitekit! Rockkit! Stormkit! Come play Hiddenclan with me!" She yowled with her squeaky voice. She watched as Rockkit and Stormkit came out along with her best friend Whitekit.
Wavekit was the only female kit out of the current kits in Hiddenclan. She didn't mind, of course. She was always known as the most "tom-cat" out of the she cats.
She swept her tail along Stormkit's flank.
"I'll be Wolfstar." She said. Wavekit bounced up to the nearby rock and said,
"Rockpelt! You are hereby banished from Hiddenclan!"
Rockkit lashed his long tail and growled, a deep rumble forming in his throat.
"How dare you... call me Rockpelt! That's stupid!"
Whitekit and Stormkit sighed with frustration. The names, of course, the names.
Wavekit rolled her eyes. "Alright, alright, alright, silly rabbit leg."
"Rockwhisker, you are hereby banished!" She cried.
"No!" It was Stormkit who charged in front of Wavekit. "He is my brother, and I witness he did not kill Raspberrykit!"
"Stormsea, out of the way, unless you want to be banished, too!" Cried Wavekit.
Suddenly, she heard the pounding of paws into the camp. Her eyes pricked up as she saw Dawnlight, Cloverspots, Dragonwing, and Griffenclaw storm into camp, their eyes wild with fear.
Wavekit sensed their fear and instantly crouched next to the other kits.
Wolfstar sprang out of her den.
"What's wrong?" She cried.
"Badgers!" Cried Dawnlight. "Badgers have been spotted!"
Wavekit lashed her tail from side to side as she saw Wolfstar's eyes burn with anger.
ReplyDelete"That's the 3rd time they've been spotted over our territory!" Wavekit spat out loud before Wolfstar had the change to talk.
"We should take a patrol out to fight them!" She snarled.
She felt paws wrap around her- Moonberry. Her mom.
"It's not your place to speak out, little one." She rasped.
Wolfstar stared coldly at Wavekit.
"Fight them ONLY if you see them." She said coldly.
Wavekit narrowed her eyes.

ReplyDelete"Wavekit! Woah!" Laughed Whitekit, wrapping his paws all over Wavekit's ears. "Miss little Wavestar, are we now?" He teased.
Wavekit pushed her best friend off her delicate ears.
"Back off Whitekit!" She mewed back. "I just might be leader one day!" She threw herself at him and they play fighted. Whitepaw dodged her lashing claws and he quickly moved from side to side. Wavekit dropped low and pushed him on the belly just as he ducked.
"You'll make me deputy, right?" Whitekit teased again.
Wavekit smiled. "Rockkit just might beat you to it!"
"My idiot brother." Whitekit muttered. "Stormkit's nice, though." Whitekit added.
"Come on! Let's go visit Dawnlight! She ALWAYS gives out training sessions in the afternoon!" Wavekit raced Whitekit to Dawnlight, who was eating.
Cute story. I like it.
ReplyDeleteFirestar
-Thanks Firestar! :)-
ReplyDeleteDawnlight found herself in a tussle of Whitekit and Wavekit tugging at her. She purred in delight.
Suddenly, Wavekit stopped. She noticed a red, bushy, tail disappear behind the nursery den. She suddenly felt a flail in her heart and screeched in terror.
"Fox!" She cried. "Fox!"
Instantly, with flaring nostrils, Dawnlight raced to the nursery. Wolfstar bounded out of her den and followed her, with Griffen, Magic, and Dragonwing behind her heels. Wavekit whimpered and sat next to Whitekit as they shivered.
Moments later, Wolfstar bounded onto the rock and yowled.
"Cats of Hiddenclan! A fox was now here killed behind the nursery den! The foxes are advancing! We must take caution that the foxes are lunging for our kits!" Wolfstar's cold, narrow, eyes landed on Wavekit.
"From now on, no kit shall be roaming around the camp without a kitwatcher(apprentice or warrior watching the kit). The nursery den shall be put stones behind! Dawnlight, see to the helpers." Wolfstar growled.
"What???" cried Wavekit, outraged. "A KITWATCHER?" She shrieked, outraged.
"Wavey, you know it's for our safety." Whitekit said sympathetically, putting his tail on her flank softly. "I know you don't like kitwatchers, but would you rather be dead?"
Wavekit looked down.
'No! I WON'T die!' She thought to herself. 'Whitekit doesn't understand. I'm going to be the leader of Hiddenclan one day! I don't fear anything!'
Wavekit spun around to face Whitekit.
"Come on, let's go check out Stormkit and Rockkit." she said.
Anyway,in my book,you get kitted in the beginning of chapter 5. Just wanted to let you know...
ReplyDeleteFirestar
Oh LOL nice... thanks for the info! :)
ReplyDeleteWavekit glared at Runningheart for ten minutes straight, making sure that Runningheart was sure that Wavekit abhorred her.
Runningheart shifted her paws, uncomfortable.
Whitekit nudged Wavekit.
"Wavey... come on. It isn't her fault that she has to watch us. It's Wolfstar's bidding for her to do so." He tried.
Wavekit spat on the ground. "I can't believe Wolfstar is treating us like KITS."
"Um.... Wavey? We ARE kits." Whitekit said slowly.
Wavekit saw Runningheart stifle a small meow of laughter and she hissed, annoyed.
"Now we can't sneak out of camp to the fallen tree to practice our fighting!" Wavekit complained. "I have to talk with Moonberry."
Snarling and lashing her tail to and fro, Wavekit slipped into the nursery den where Moonberry was talking with Whitekit's mom.
"Hello Wavekit, dear." Moonberry said softly. "What's going on?"
"What's going on?!" Spat Wavekit. "You know I hate having a kitwatcher! I want to be able to explore! Runningheart just forces us to be in the nursery all the time."
Crossly, Wavekit sat down.
Moonberry narrowed her eyes.
"Now, Wavekit. You must appreciate that you are at least able to speak! As a kit, your rank is lower than the others. Think of your scrawny bones, your weak, not sharp claws! Just wait patiently, and you'll grow. Both in your mind and your body!" Moonberry lectured.
Wavekit angrily growled. No one would support her! Not even Whitekit, her best friend! She spun around, angry, and hurt.
She raced out of the nursery den and went behind it, almost bumping into Stormkit.
ReplyDelete"Stormkit!" She gasped.
"Wa-wa-vekit!" He stuttered. "What are you doing here?"
"What are YOU doing here? Sneaking out of camp?" She harshly retorted.
"Shh!! Runningheart might find out!" He hissed.
Wavekit suddenly felt a rush of excitement. FINALLY someone felt the same way she did! She crouched low just like him and pressed her flank low as Runningheart sniffed the air and passed by.
"Thank Starclan!" Stormkit said. "Okay, okay. I was just going to catch a mouse and bring it back."
"I'm coming with you!" Wavekit said excitedly.
Stormkit stared evenly into her beautiful green eyes. His tone got soft.
"Wavekit, your mom will kill you. At least I don't have a mom."
Wavekit melted down instantly, her tail moving towards his flank and brushing it.
"Stormkit, I'm sorry, but I'll take my chances."
"What chances?" It was Whitekit, charging over. "What are you two doing here? Not mooning over each other, are you?" His face was blazing with anger.
Wavekit stepped back.
"We're not, Whitekit. You can back off. Wavekit and I were just talking. I never knew she was "yours." Stormkit spat at him and ran off.
-Thanks Sandfire! :)-
ReplyDeleteWavekit looked coldly into the eyes of Whitekit. She was angry at him- very angry.
"I can't believe you treat me like your personal property!" She hissed, growling with annoyance. "I thought I was your friend, but you don't understand me! You think Runningheart is there for us? No! She's making life in Hiddenclan a PRISON! Stormkit's the only one that understands! Next time, stay out of this!" She roared.
Whitekit looked taken aback, and Wavekit could feel sympathy and anger at the same time running through her blood. Whitekit's eyes quivered, he paused, then ran back to the nursery.
Wavekit caught Runningheart looking at her suspiciously and she spat at her.
"Do you promise to try and become the best apprentice and serve your clan loyally?" Wolfstar's warm voice was only directed to Stormkit, Rockkit, and Whitekit.
"I do." Stormkit and Whitekit said.
"Sure." Rockkit said evenly.
Wavekit narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth. "I swear I will." She hissed.
Wolfstar gave her a warning glance.
"Then by the powers of Starclan I now name you Stormpaw. Your mentor shall be Firesong. Rockpaw, your mentor shall be Dawnlight. Whitekit, your mentor shall be Icefrost, and Wavepaw, your mentor shall be..."
Wavepaw held her breath in and glared at Wolfstar even more. If she DARED give her a horrible mentor...
"Skywhisker."
Wavepaw let out a sigh of relief at hearing the deputy's name. Her eyes glinted with gratitude as she went to touch noses with Skywhisker. Alas! She was an apprentice!
"Congrats Wavepaw!" It was Stormpaw, sweeping down the wave of murmuring cats. Wavepaw touched his flank briefly with her tail.
"You too, Stormpaw!" Wavepaw said. Wavepaw! What an exciting name! She shivered at the thought. She saw Whitepaw making his way over to her and coldly shouldered her way over to Rockpaw to talk to him, looking engrossed in the conversation so Whitepaw would be crowded with other cats.
ur welcome
ReplyDeleteAWESOME STORY!!!!!!!! :)
ReplyDelete-Lol thanks guys! You guys actually read this? Cool! I thought no one would read it... lol-
ReplyDeleteWavepaw batted the air with her paw, and let her mouse dangle over her jaw.
"Wavepaw... right?"
Wavepaw spun around. It was Lionpaw of Secretclan (lol get it... Hiddenclan...). Wavepaw instantly blushed. She didn't know why- she hated herself for doing it. But it was instinctive. She stood taller.
"What about me?" She tried to snarl but her voice came out soft and dreamy.
Lionpaw stared at her. "I've seen you, at the Gatherings, I mean."
"I've seen you. What's that supposed to mean?" Wavepaw barred her teeth, but it came out as a sweet smile.
Lionpaw blinked. "Nothing." He said, and swept around.
Wavepaw woke up. She was dreaming about her first encounter with Lionpaw. She shivered. She looked to her side. Stormpaw sleeping peacefully. She had grown to be best friends with him and not Whitepaw.
She saw Whitepaw looking at her, sorrow filled to his eyes.
"Come on, Rosepaw." She said, talking to her friend. "Let's go."
Skywhisker was waiting for her.
"Greetings, Wavepaw."
"What are we learning today?" Wavepaw eagerly asked.
"You're not going to learn anything today." Skywhisker said.
ReplyDeleteWavepaw swept her tail impatiently.
"You're going on a solo hunting mission." Skywhisker finished.
Wavepaw excitedly felt her heart rate go up.
"Remember, I will be watching you." Skywhisker said. "However, I will also be watching Mistpaw, Ghostpaw, and Whitepaw. Their mentors have a meeting with Wolfstar so I will watch them."
Wavepaw nodded. She saw them join her and she narrowed her eyes at Whitepaw.
'I'll do better than ALL of them!' She thought, determined.
Wavepaw raced in the undergrowth slowly and paused. Rabbit! She smelled the air first and could sense no Skywhisker. But there was another scent. Whitepaw.
"Wavepaw, can we talk?"
She spun around. "Whitepaw, this is a hunting mission. Not a talk mission." She reminded coldly.
"Why are you so rude to me now?" He asked gently.
Wavepaw sighed. "Our dreams are different. I can't... I can't be with someone who is a goody goody cat."
Whitepaw looked hurt. "Please wavepaw, that was moons ago!"
Wavepaw looked sideways.
"We're wasting time." Wavepaw said.
'I'll talk to him later' She thought. She paused. She was near the Secretclan border. Images of Lionpaw flashed through her mind. She growled.
Skywhisker was no where near.
Suddenly, there was a growl. Wavepaw froze as Blizzardstorm, Thundertail, and Lionpaw stepped out.
"Hiddenclan kit." Hissed Thundertail.
"I'm an apprentice." She growled back.
Lionpaw met her gaze steadily. "She's no match for us. 3 vs. 1 isn't fair. Besides, she hasn't crossed our borders yet."
Wavepaw felt a surge of anger. How dare he defend her!
'I can defend myself, thanks!' she cried silently. Yet she felt relieved she didn't have to fight the cats.
Thundertail looked sharply at his apprentice.
ReplyDelete"He's right, though. Starclan wouldn't approve of 3 experienced cats against 1. Let's move on." Blizzardstorm moved ahead. Lionpaw hung back.
Wavepaw couldn't bring herself to look in his eyes. She sprang away.
"Excellent job Wavepaw!" It was Whitepaw's cheery voice.
'He's trying to make up with me.' Wavepaw thought bitterly. She rolled her eyes as she dropped her two rabbits, 3 mice, and one crow into the pile.
"Yes... VERY excellent job. I'll talk to Wolfstar about making you warriors!"
All the apprentices looked excited.
Wavepaw paused. "What about Stormpaw and the others?"
Skywhisker paused. "That's for their mentors to decide."
'Fox brain!' Thought Wavepaw. 'I'll be a warrior without Stormpaw! He'll be so dissapointed...'
"Wavepaw! Wavepaw! Wavepaw!" It was Stormpaw. He raced over and skidded to a halt, pausing to lick her lovingly on the forehead like a sister. Wavepaw could feel Whitepaw's eyes boring into hers.
ReplyDelete"Guess what? I'm becoming a warrior! Right now! Right now!" He yelped.
"What?" Gasped Wavepaw. "Without me?" She cried.
Stormpaw looked down in dismay. "I know... but you'll be a warrior tomorrow!"
"Okay. I guess so." She said.
'I can't believe it!' She thought. 'He beat me to it!'
"Psss!!!" Wavepaw sniffed. Whitepaw. She was starting to get annoyed with him, but sighing, she went behind the warriors den. She padded over to Whitepaw.
"Hi Whitepaw."
He was leaning in to her... now he was pressing his pelt against her. She felt his warm fur ruffle up her own. She imagined if Lionpaw took his place... his golden fur upon her brown fur...
'What are you thinking of, mouse brain?' She told herself. 'You're LOYAL to your clan! You're going to be leader!' She snapped to herself.
"Whitepaw, what are you doing?" She asked softly.
"Wavepaw, I'm sorry... I can't help it! I...love you." The words escaped his lips.
Wavepaw's eyes widened. She was frozen. Whitepaw leaned in more, so they were nose to nose. She closed her eyes instinctively.
"You promised me... that when you were leader I'd be deputy." he whispered. He licked her and she jerked away.
"I'm sorry Whitepaw. I just don't feel the same way."
Leaving Whitepaw confused and hurt, she spun around and joined the clan at the back, where she just missed Stormpaw's new name- Stormsky. She saw Whitepaw sulk in the back, trembling.
Sympathy hit her heart.
SUSPENSE! YAY!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeleteFIRESTAR LIKES WAVECLAW'S STORY.
-LOL thanks firestar!! ^.^-
ReplyDeleteAt night, Wavepaw chose her nest next to Whitepaw.
"Look, Whitepaw. I'm sorry." She said.
Whitepaw looked back steadily at her. "It's alright Wavepaw. I understand. I just hope that we are friends."
Wavepaw gave a smile and cuffed him around the ear playfully.
"Of course we are!"
"Wavepaw! Focus!" Skywhisker hissed. "This is your last assessment before becoming a warrior!" She snarled. "You don't want to mess it up... do you?"
ReplyDeleteWavepaw narrowed her eyes into slits. "I'm focusing, alright?" She growled.
'It's all Whitepaw's fault.' She whispered inside her. 'He's causing all this love sick drama. I just want to be leader!' She called inside her.
She sniffed. "A recent Secretclan patrol passe by..." She caught the familiar whiff of Lionpaw.
'Why is he ALWAYS out here?' She asked herself, annoyed.
"They're gone now. A dog came by!" She extended her senses, almost visually seeing the dog bark away. "But he's gone."
"Excellent work Wavepaw!" Skywhisker said, delighted. "come on, let's head back to camp."
Wavepaw tingled. She was becoming a warrior!
"Do you, Wavepaw, Whitepaw, Mistpaw, and Ghostpaw, solemnly swear to defend Hiddenclan with your life?" Wolfstar asked slowly.
"I do!" Whitepaw called.
"I do..." Mistpaw murmured.
"I..... of course I do." Ghostpaw said timidly.
Wolfstar looked expectantly at Wavepaw. She met her gaze without flinching.
"I DO." She said clearly. Wolfstar nodded.
"Then by the powers of Starclan I now name you Whitecloud, Mistbreeze, Ghoststorm, and..." Wolfstar paused to look into Wavepaw's eyes.
"Waveclaw."
"WHITECLOUD! MISTBREEZE! GHOSTSTORM! WAVECLAW!"
Waveclaw saw Stormsky shouting especially loud and she purred in delight.
Wolfstar's call rang over everyone's chanting as Waveclaw drifted back next to Skywhisker and Stormsky.
"Thanks for being the best mentor ever." She whispered.
Skywhisker smiled. "I'm sure you would have done just the same."
'No! I won't!' Waveclaw told herself bitterly. 'I'm going to be the BEST mentor EVER! I'm going to shove those lazy apprentices and make them work as hard as I would've worked!' She thought.
"Gathering..." Was the only word Waveclaw caught. "I shall take Skywhisker, Dawnlight, Cloverspots, Magic, Griffenclaw, Dragonwing, Rosepaw..."
Waveclaw listened to Wolfstar name the cats aloud.
'PLEASE let me come!' She breathed.
"Whitecloud, Mistbreeze, Stormsky, Waveclaw, and Ghoststorm."
Waveclaw let a breath escape. Her fur stood on one end. Her first gathering! As a warrior!
Waveclaw let all the scents of Secretclan and Silentclan drift over her. She shivered as Stormsky's pelt brushed over hers. She smiled at him.
ReplyDelete"I'm excited!" He said in her ear as other cats were talking also. "I mean, this is my first gathering as a warrior!"
"Same here!" Waveclaw managed to breath back. She licked him softly. "I'm going to roam around." And without any comment she bounded into the sea of cats.
"Oh look..... it's Wavepaw!!" Waveclaw spun around to see Thundertail. To her surprise, his look was kind and welcoming, unlike the other day.
She straightened up. "I'm WAVECLAW now!"
Thundertail raised his eyebrow. "That's great news! Now next time i see you I can shred you!" He joked. Waveclaw smiled suddenly and she felt enlightened by this young warrior's sense of humor.
"Thundertail? Who are you talking to?"
Waveclaw felt shreds of teeth ripping her fur as Lionpaw came into view. His golden pelt matched the sun and he was almost as big as Thundertail.
Waveclaw shuffled her paws.
"Oh, sorry. Waveclaw, this is my brother Lionfang." Thundertail said, sweeping his tail over his brother.
'Hm... Lionfang.' Waveclaw thought, studying him. 'Suitable for him, I suppose.'
Lionfang met Waveclaw's eyes steadily.
"Well I got to go talk to Reedwhisper! He needs help with the ladies." Chuckled Thundertail and swept off.
Lionfang coughed slightly and drew himself near Waveclaw.
"So... how goes Hiddenclan?" He asked.
Waveclaw looked away.
'Stop it you silly fox!' She chided to herself. 'There's no penalty against being friends with him! He's just a friend! He's just a friend!' She growled to herself.
"Hiddenclan's good." She meowed casually.
"Nice warrior name." Lionfang meowed with amusement. Waveclaw batted him playfully.
"Do you have a mate?" He asked suddenly.
The question was so... awkward for a moment she just sat there, dumbfounded. What would she say? Why did he ask?
"I... no." Was all she said.
Thankfully, Wolfstar's yowl brought the awkward conversation to a close.
"Hiddenclan is striving! We have recently made various apprentices warriors! Welcome to Waveclaw, Stormsky, Whitecloud, Mistbreeze, Ghoststorm, and Rocktalon!"
ReplyDeleteHiddenclan and Secretclan roared while Silentclan remained silent. (lol)
Waveclaw felt her fur growing hot as cats turned to stare at her and even Lionfang gave a whoop. She turned her head instinctively and saw Thundertail's eyes resting upon her. She shivered.
"Secretclan ALSO has had 2 apprentices named warriors! Lionpaw and Lilypaw have become Lionfang and Lilypetal!"
Waveclaw only smiled at Lionfang.
Finally, the leader of Silentclan, Silverstar, thrust her head in front of Wolfstar and Minnowstar.
"Enough!" She roared. "Hiddenclan has been stealing our prey!" She roared.
Instantly, Waveclaw was up on her paws, hackles raised.
"What?" She cried. "WE steal YOUR mangy prey??"
Her cries were drowned by her own clanmate's voice of shock. Wolfstar narrowed her eyes.
A tail rested on Waveclaw's flank and she whipped around.
"Waveclaw... I'm sure they mean no harm!" Lionfang said slowly. Waveclaw sat down.
'Arrogant fox brain. Thinks he knows me!' Waveclaw chided.
"Silverstar... you are mistaken. Hiddenclan has not done such things."
"Of course! We all know the only cats that hunt squirrel is Hiddenclan and we've found shredded squirrel on our borders!" Hissed Silverstar.
Waveclaw was on her paws before Lionfang could stop her.
"Silverstar! Drop your arrogance!" Waveclaw's voice was surprisingly strong and rough against the midnight sky. Every eye turned on her. "hiddenclan has done NOTHING." She said slowly, not flinching against the leader's burning gaze.
"Hiddenclan has ENOUGH prey for ourselves! Why should we steal from you?"
Murmurs broke out through the crowd. AN elder behind her said, "Well spoken."
Even Lionfang looked proud of her and she felt tingles grow upon her spine.
Wolfstar sighed. "This Gathering is over." She hissed and leapt away. The crowds swarmed to follow their leader.
Waveclaw turned to go when someone caught her.
"What, Lionfang." She said flatly.
"Um..." He was stuttering. "Can you meet me here tonight?"
Waveclaw paused.
Half of her was screaming, 'No! You're LOYAL to your clan! You must be leader! You can't be with him! He's just a friend!'
yet the other half... 'Imagine how much you can do with him... his flaming golden pelt... strong will... handsome eyes... you KNOW you love him... just ONE meeting... just ONE meeting...'
Waveclaw looked back to Stormsky waiting for her, looking puzzled.
"I'll try and come." She whispered. Suddenly, she saw Thundertail looking at her and she narrowed her eyes. She joined Stormsky.
"Who's that?" He asked, twining his tail with hers uncomfortably.
"Just a friend." She said, jerking away. He continued to lean in so that their pelts were brushing.
'I'm so confused.' She thought. 'I just want to be leader and stay loyal to my clan. But what are my feelings telling me???'
The warriors settled in to sleep. Stormsky yawned and pressed his back against Waveclaw.
ReplyDelete"Fox brain. Now if I'm gone, he'll know." Waveclaw thought.
"Night Waveclaw. I love you." Said Stormsky.
Waveclaw stopped. Her eyes widened. What was it he had just said? Stormsky froze, his eyes looking wild with fear. Whitecloud stopped making his nest but kept looking down. None of the other warriors noticed.
"Did you just say..." Waveclaw asked.
"It just came naturally, I mean, we've been best friends for so many moons, I just thought..." Stormsky wrapped his tail around Waveclaw and purred when she didn't move away. Whitecloud narrowed his eyes and flopped asleep.
Stormsky started to lick her over the face. Waveclaw didn't know what to do- what was she doing? What about her life as leader? Well she supposed she could mate and have no kits, but did she REALLY love Stormsky?
Stormsky got more violent in his licks and began drowning his scent in hers. Waveclaw stepped away suddenly.
"Stormsky, I think you've gone a bit too far." She said quietly.
Stormsky paused. "Do you love me?"
"A bit." Waveclaw lied. Why was she lying? To cover up another broken heart she had already broke? She couldn't see both Whitecloud and Stormsky depressed!
She forced herself to lean in, inhaling his scent. He purred and she choked.
"I...love...you..." She forced herself every word.
Stormsky lay on his nest, which was now, thanks to him, in bound with her nest. She growled impatiently to herself. It was almost sun down. She slept.
WOW!! that's good!!
ReplyDelete-Thanks so much Spalshfoot!- :)
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw sniffed the air. Not a cat in sight. Slowly, carefully, she lifted herself out of Stormsky's "loving" claws and slipped out of the den. Her eyes widened as she saw the night guards, Camofur and Blackbranch talking to one another.
Stealthy, she crept out.
"I can't believe I'm doing this." She growled to herself. "I'm breaking the warrior code!"
Yet the thought of seeing Lionfang, his handsome coat, twinkling eyes... it shot her forward.
She saw him- he was looking at the moon. Slowly, she crept forward to sit next to him.
"You came." Was all he said.
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw shifted her paws uncomfortably. "Well, a good cat always has her adventures."
"That's the spirit." He said softly. He turned to look at her and she felt goosebumps rising over her fur as his pale golden eyes rested on her and searched her body.
"I can tell you're... unhappy." He said sadly.
"Well, what are we doing here?" Waveclaw said. "I AM loyal to Hiddenclan, you know, and you should be loyal to Secretclan!"
"I am!" Lionfang said, lashing his tail to and fro.
He stood up and started circling her. "But I can't stop thinking about you. I've TRIED my hardest, really! I even said that Lilypetal is my mate to try and forget about you!" He said.
Waveclaw raised her head in interest.
Lionfang slowly trickled his tail all over her flank softly, like bare feet over the cold, marble floor.
Waveclaw shivered up her spine and she closed her eyes.
What was she doing? She couldn't betray her clan! What about leader!?? The clan would NEVER accept her if they found out!
But it was too late. Lionfang slowly leaned in and pressed his warm fur against hers. She felt... so together with him... what was the feeling?
She responded... instinctively. A purr rose up her throat- a real one, not like the one with Stormsky. She pressed her back against him harder and she felt her heart thumping against her chest as they rubbed.
"I love you so much." Lionfang whispered in her ear. "So much." He breathed as his tongue rasped over her face and every inch of her body. Waveclaw responded affectionately.
'What are you doing?' Screamed an inner voice. 'You can't love him!'
Dawn.
Waveclaw stretched up, yawning. She could still feel Lionfang's burning, loving, eyes on her, resting on her beautiful haunches, whispering good night to her. 'I love you...' He had said. 'I'll see you some other time...' and she had said back, 'I love you too. I'll miss you.'
HAD she really said those words?
'I really think a demon's taken over me.' She thought flatly. HAD she really responded that affectionately to Lionfang, who've she'd only SEEN for a couple of times and talked to barely? HAD she really admitted she loved him?
'Love is complicating...' she thought. A pelt brushed beside her.
Stormsky.
He looked up into her eyes.
"Good morning lovebird." He said.
Oh, how she WISHED it was Lionfang saying that to her!
Nice story. :)
ReplyDelete.... wow. this really reminds me of all the other forbidden love stories like leafpool and crowfeather, bluestar and oakheart especially, reedwhisker and fallowtail, heathertail and lionblaze, and dovewing and tigerheart. you kinda mashed all of them together and made up your own characters.
ReplyDelete.... i .... like it. it's really nice!
Spottedfire
-Thanks Willowfoot and Spottedfire! (Oh, Spottedfire, this one will be different! ;)}
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw growled in frustration and clawed at the empty dirt. The mouse scuttled away to a safe haven.
She was irritated. Lionfang was messing up her duties and she already had gotten yelled at by Skywhisker for not being focused. Lionfang. Oh why did it have to be HIM that she loved? Why couldn't she just be with Stormsky or Whitecloud?
She hated betraying the clan.Yet... his soft breath, golden pult rubbing against her brown one, his eyes drowning into hers... she couldn't resist it.
Waveclaw trotted back to camp to meet SKywhisker. Dropping her little catch into the pile, she looked at her previous mentor.
"Well?" She prompted.
"You usually catch more." Skywhisker commented slowly. Waveclaw felt a prickle of annoyance.
"It's SUNDOWN." She said, gritting her teeth.
Skywhisker sighed. "Wolfstar's going to assign you an apprentice. Goldenkit, Springkit, Fallenkit, Featherkit, or Icekit will be yours."
Waveclaw's fur ruffled. Was it excitement, the wind, or fear of not having enough time with Lionfang? Having an apprentice was a closer step to deputy! yet she had to pass Skywhisker... how could she? Yet... an apprentice! She saw the kits tumbling on the ground and felt exhilerated. Yet Skywhisker's eyes only betrayed darkness.
"Just remember how to treat your apprentice. Remember where you're duties lie."
She stalked away.
Waveclaw frowned. What did Skywhisker know?
NOTE BY THE AUTHOR: A lot of this information in here is NOT what the real Hiddenclan is. Many cats are made up.
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw watched as the 5 she-kits lined up next to Wolfstar and swore their loyalty.
'I remember when I was up there...' she thought.
"Goldenpaw- your mentor shall be Skywhisker. Now that Skywhisker has finished with Waveclaw, she shall pass down memories to you."
Goldenpaw touched noses with Skywhisker.
"Springpaw! Your mentor shall be Runningheart! Fallenpaw! Your mentor shall be Darktail." Wolfstar said.
She turned to Featherpaw and Icepaw... the prettiest she-cats. Waveclaw held her breath.
"Featherpaw, your mentor shall be Waveclaw and Icepaw your mentor shall be Stormsky."
'PATHETIC!' Thought Waveclaw. 'An apprentice for me and my "mate."'Waveclaw almost spat out loud.
Regardless, she touched noses with the excited Featherpaw.
"Featherpaw!" Called Waveclaw the next morning. "Featherpaw! Get out here NOW!" She yowled.
She saw Dawnlight groggily step out.
"Waveclaw... it's not even dawn! Take it easy on the young ones will ya?" Dawnlight complained.
Waveclaw lashed her tail. SHE would be the best mentor in the clan!
Featherpaw was up and about in just minutes.
ReplyDelete"Alright!" Barked Waveclaw. "Here's the plan for today: pick out the elders' fleas till the sun reaches a fourth of the sky. Then, we get to explore the territory. Then, battle training."
"What?" Said Stormsky, who overheard. "Wavey, that's a lot for one day!"
"Don't call me Wavey, and it's MY apprentice!" She snapped back.
Featherpaw looked at Lionpaw at the other corner of the clan. She nodded at Waveclaw and bounded away to the elders' den.
wow. even MY evil second grade teacher wasn't that mean.
ReplyDeleteSTRICT IS GOOD!! be tough on the young so they will work harder to please you. but really. picking ticks out of the elder's hind quarters before dawn is pure EVIL!! i like it. yay 4 meanness!
Spottedfire
-LOLLLLLLLLLLLL that's FUNNY Spottedfire!!!-
ReplyDeleteFeatherpaw heard Lionpaw enter the queens den and she got all ticklish inside.
She started to pick out Dapplewing's ticks out and Lionpaw started to rub out Mouseclaw's old joints.
"Hey Feather." He said slowly.
She loved it when he called her Feather. It was so romantic!
Waveclaw raced to the edge of the border and hesitated. She smelled the air. Lionfang.
A pang entered her heart.
'I've got to stop wanting to see him!' She called to herself. 'Think about being deputy... come on! Think about being deputy!! Think about---'
"Waveclaw?"
She spun around and her heart melted. Lionfang. She, instinctively, went up to him and purred, rubbing against him slowly and licking all over his back.
"I've missed you so much." He said.
"Same here." She choked on each word. "I have an apprentice now... I can't meet you this often anymore."
Lionfang's eyes dulled and he nuzzled her. His tail went around her's and they stood there for moments.
"I... have to go." Waveclaw said and sprung away. She felt her destiny was torn in two..
COOL!!!!
ReplyDelete*scribbles notes on paper* destiny.... torn in two..... this is AWESOME!!! i'm SOO taking notes for my stories!! ahh... seperated lovers.... broken hearts.... all so romantic.... LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
-Thanks Willowfoot! LOL Spottedfire you're FUNNY!-
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw trotted back to camp to find Featherpaw sitting, waiting for her.
"Where were you?" She questioned.
"Apprentices don't question mentors." She barked angrily. "Come on, let's visit the territory." She said quietly.
Featherpaw sighed. "Can Icepaw and Stormsky come along at least?"
Waveclaw paused. An image of Stormsky's broken face appeared.
"Alright... go fetch them."
Eagerly, Featherpaw ran to get her friend. Stormsky appeared soon. He purred and ran over to her, pressing his body uncomfortably hard against hers. He licked all over her face and she felt a growl rising.
"Let's just go." She spat angrily. Featherpaw and Icepaw shrugged but followed her.
"This is the border to Silentclan. Memorize their scent well." Waveclaw said. Lionfang flashed in her mind. HIS broken face. Her heart melted. She looked at the apprentice and Stormsky.
"Can... you take the apprentices over to the River of the Fish? I feel a bit faint." She said to Stormsky.
A worry line crossed his face. "Alright... get better." He took the apprentices across.
Making sure they were gone, Waveclaw flung herself to the Secretclan border. Oh please be here Lionfang! She called silently.
"Waveclaw..."
Waveclaw spun around, her heart pounding to wait and see Lionfang.
But it was not. She shivered. Why did this cat look so familiar?
"Sunshadow?" She whispered. Her father. He had died in an attack against Silentclan and died.
"My daughter." He said. Waveclaw felt tears brim her eyes.
"I'm confused father! I love him, you know that! But I want to lead my clan!" She cried out to him.
Sunshadow's eyes dimmed. "Yes... I always feared your amazing personality would catch the eyes of another young male. Yet you have the strength to become a great leader... Wavestar."
Waveclaw shivered at the name.
Sunshadow paced around. "I can not decide your future for you... it is your choice." His eyes faded. "But I can see great misfortune in your life."
Waveclaw wailed as he disappeared into the sky.
"You!" Barked a voice.
Waveclaw spun around, dropping into a growl. A Secretclan patrol. Lighttail, Bellynose, Patchfoot, and Lionfang.
Waveclaw almost fainted at the sight of her lover. She swallowed and all she could do was run.
'What are you doing mouse brain? Confront them!' Her inner voice was telling her as she pelted back to Hiddenclan.
"Waveclaw!" Stormsky said. "I thought you said you were already back here!" He growled.
ReplyDelete"There's Secretclan on our border! They're remarking the borders!" She yelped to Wolfstar.
Wolfstar howled and instantly warriors gathered at her side.
"Let us go!" She yowled. She beckoned for Waveclaw to lead the way.
Heart beating, Waveclaw lead her clan mates to the clearing where more Secretclan cats had appeared.
'We're even...' she thought.
"Hiddenclan! Attack!" Wolfstar yowled as she flung herself onto the Secretclan patrol leader- Lighttail.
"You'll never steal our territory!" She hissed.
Waveclaw launched onto Bellynose and hissed as he scratched her nose. She clawed him over and over again on his belly.
"Lionfang! Help me!" Bellynose cried; Lionfang was open.
Waveclaw's eyes widened. Would he hard her? She saw his claws sheathe as he acted like scratching her and pushed her off. She went limp.
'What are you doing? Acting like fighting?' Her inner voice growled at her.
She jumped away. She saw Stormsky fling himself on Lionfang.
"You'll NEVER treat that way to my mate!" he hissed.
"...mate???" Whispered Lionfang and he barely noticed when Stormsky clawed at his tail. His eyes rested upon Waveclaw with clouded confusion and hurt. "She's your mate?" He asked, partially to himself. Waveclaw couldn't bring herself to look in his eyes. She was knocked over by Dragonwing pelting away, and she went black.
AWESOME story waveclaw. *thumbs up!!!* lol
ReplyDeleteawesome!!! this is articulated very well, and your storyline is fantabulous, and your story is absolutely NOT superfluous at all!! *silence*
ReplyDelete..... in other words, it's great.
Spottedfire
THanks guys! You are the best! :) :)
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw felt an empty pang echo in her heart as she trudged back home. There was a confused Stormsky, a hurt Lionfang, and an overwhelmed Waveclaw.
"Hey-are you okay?"
Waveclaw warily spun around. Whitecloud. For once she felt a bit relived. Not Lionfang chasing after her or Stormsky crowding with worries.
"Hey let's take a walk in the woods." Whitecloud said, catching up to her. She nodded.
"I'm just really confused right now." Waveclaw said slowly. "I want to be deputy, but I have to beat Skywhisker to it, and that's hard. Stormsky's my mate, but I don't really love him. I'm in love with another cat and want kits, but I CAN'T have kits."
"Another...cat?" Whitecloud asked.
Waveclaw didn't answer.
"Well I'm sure whoever it is, he is grand. Just go with what you believe in. If you want kits, go ahead. There's always a different path with what you wanted."
"You've never understood the importance of being leader to me." Waveclaw said bitterly.
Whitecloud's pelt brushed hers slowly and softly.
"Oh, but I do, Waveclaw. Since we were kits I have seen it in your eyes. I knew you would be leader. I just pulled you back because your ambition can sometimes lead to your downfall." Whitecloud said softly. Waveclaw looked intently into his eyes. He was telling the truth.
"Thanks Whitecloud." She purred. "I'll never forget this."
"I'm not his mate for the last time." Waveclaw said slowly to Lionfang. She could hardly see his pacing body. "He's just a fake."
"Okay okay okay. I get it. I didn't want to fight you today- or your clanmates. I felt like I was fighting...you."Lionfang said softly, his golden eyes burning into hers.
"Of course." Waveclaw snapped. "I'm a part of my clan."
Lionfang stepped back. Waveclaw was usually never this angry.
"I'm sorry." He whispered. Then, to show his affections, he purred and wrapped his entire body over her.
This time she didn't respond.
Okay. This is a Firestar-proven fact. Waveclaw is
ReplyDeletegreat at advice and suspenseful stories. I love this! Keep posting Wavey!
Firestar
OMG thanks Firestar!!!!
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw lashed her tail.
"I'm trying my best, I'm trying my best- EXCUSES DON'T CUT IT!" She roared to Featherpaw. Featherpaw winced and studied her paws. Waveclaw felt sympathy grow inside her heart.
"Look, I'm sorry Featherpaw. A lot's been going on."
Featherpaw looked up.
"Let's just go hunting. We can train later." Waveclaw padded steadily with her apprentice out of the training hollow and up the hill.
"Hey Waveclaw can I ask you something?" Featherpaw asked.
"of course." waveclaw meowed gently.
"I really want to get Lionpaw's attention but I can't." Rushed Featherpaw. "He's always with Icepaw."
Waveclaw suppressed a laugh. How did SHE get lionfang's attention? A pang broke through her heart.
"Just... be really brave. And be the best warrior you can be." She mewed briskly. She thought it wasn't much, but featherpaw's eyes brightened.
"thanks Waveclaw!"
Night. The moon came steadily up the hill, and Waveclaw watched the edge of the sun go down. Sighing, she padded inside the warrior's den. Stormsky was already sleeping- she could see her made nest for her next to his. She sighed again and noticed Whitecloud wasn't there. Alarm flaring inside her, she raced out and sniffed his trail.
he was sitting by the river.
"waveclaw! Good... I hoped you had come." Whitecloud said.
Waveclaw felt deja vu hit her- just like the day Lionfang sat there. She padded up to him.
'Stop being a mouse brain. He's your friend.'
"Hey Whitecloud. Can't get sleep?" She asked warmly.
Whitecloud smiled. "More like can't find sleep. Your worries worry me, too."
Waveclaw felt love rush up her skin. Whitecloud shared her worries! She looked at the river alongside him.
"If you don't mind me asking, who is the other cat you love?"He whispered.
what was that in his voice? Bitter? Jealousy? Sorrow? They were all mixed together.
He still loves me. Waveclaw realized with a jolt. Memories flew back- Whitecloud staring at her with sorrow- Whitecloud offering her prey- Whitecloud offering her help- Whitecloud still loved her. But after all these moons? Waveclaw admired his true passion for her.
"I..." She started. DID she still really admire Lionfang?
"It's not anymore." She said softly.
She could literally hear a breath of relief come from Whitecloud.
Waveclaw felt shivers run up her spine as she entered her dream. There was Lionfang- running up the plains and laughing and stroking her, licking her viciously with emotion. She was watching herself swim up to him and drool over him.
ReplyDelete'This must be from Starclan. I must really have to be with him...' thought Waveclaw. Then suddenly in her dream, there was a flash of lightning and she felt voices surround her...
'She could have made the best leader of Hiddenclan...' 'She was destined for a great future...' 'She's a traitor...'
and when the voices cleared, Lionfang was no longer there, but there was a single white cloud in the sky.
Waveclaw woke with a jolt. It was dawn. Stormsky was no longer there.
'Out with Icepaw...' thought Waveclaw. 'Gee I better start working with Featherpaw. I'm usually out before Stormsky. She'll think I'm relaxing on her.'
She yawned and strode out. Featherpaw was already waiting for her, eyes shining.
"Are we training today? Battle training?" She asked eagerly.
'Boy what a tabby does to impress a tom...' thought Waveclaw with amusement.
"Let's do some battle training." Waveclaw agreed. She flexed her claws. About time she got back to training with her apprentice.
A pelt brushed beside her. Whitecloud. The image from her dream reappeared and she felt a rush of emotions enter her: confusion, love, pain, sorrow, wondering, curiosity. She met Whitecloud's gaze.
"Good morning Wavey." He whispered, licking her ear.
Waveclaw shot a look around. GOod. Stormsky wasn't back. If he had seen Whitecloud call her that and lick her ear, he would have murdered Whitecloud.
Making sure Featherpaw wasn't looking, a deep purr rumbled in her throat and she saw a look of passion appear on his face.
'Waveclaw... be careful...' she told herself. She was thinking about curling her tail around his, but told herself that she was already a "mate" to Stormsky AND "Lionfang" and that they were just friends.
A bit of disappointment rose in Whitecloud's face when she didn't make any moves, but he said,
"Eat together later?"
"Of course!" She said. "Come on Featherpaw."
Waveclaw smiled when Lionpaw waved at her.
I feel like I'm reading a real Warriors book! Thanks Waveclaw for writing this story because it keeps me from getting bored! :D
ReplyDelete-LOL I try and make it as close to a Warriors book as possible. Thanks Willowfoot! I try my best :)-
ReplyDelete"Right. Now just sweep your claw across your opponents belly." Waveclaw instructed. Featherpaw did it clumsily.
"That's almost right, but you want to keep a rigid outlook on your paw so that you can swipe nice and clean."
Featherpaw looked at Waveclaw, confused as to why she didn't yell at her. Shrugging, she tried it again.
Waveclaw saw some other mentors at the other side of the training hollow.
"Keep practicing Featherpaw. I'll be right back." Waveclaw said.
Featherpaw sighed. 'Sometimes I like the strict Waveclaw better... what's happened to her?' Shrugging, she continued.
Waveclaw trotted up to Dawnlight and Skywhisker.
"Waveclaw! How are you doing?" Skywhisker asked. "Not being too hard on Featherpaw are you?" Dawnlight joked.
"Nah. I think I'm doing pretty good." Waveclaw said. "I was thinking if the three of us wanted to go hunting this afternoon.
"You mean you don't want to hunt with featherpaw? You usually pack her day up!" Skywhisker said, gaping.
Waveclaw smiled. "I'm going to let her talk with Lionpaw and the other apprentices. I wanted to have some fresh warrior day together... with my friends."
'And away from any love sick toms...' thought Waveclaw.
She went back to Featherpaw who was trying hard to get the swipe.
"That's great Featherpaw!" waveclaw said enthusiastic. "Now go back and get some rest, with Lionpaw." She added meaningfully. "At night we'll do some hunting practice and picking ticks, okay?" Waveclaw asked.
Featherpaw smiled. Waveclaw was finally beginning to act like a mentor.
"that sounds great!" She said.
Waveclaw dragged her tail back to camp. Featherpaw had ran ahead of her, eager to talk with Lionpaw. Waveclaw stopped at the edge of the tree trunk and saw Stormsky and Icepaw carry loads of prey back. Sighing, she turned away.
'A walk to the river will refresh me.' She thought. Slowly, she padded to the river and sat there, letting the scents around her fill her in.
"Waveclaw." Said a voice.
waveclaw jumped and spun around. It was Bramblepelt, from Starclan.
"Bramblepelt."She said respectfully.
"I think you are confused." He said gently. Bramblepelt was the long ago deputy Waveclaw had heard about- a very close friend to Moonberry- almost her mate.
"I am confused. I love Lionfang but I want to be leader." Waveclaw admitted sadly.
"DO you love him?" Bramblepelt asked softly. "You know Waveclaw, life is like a forest. You are in the forest, and there are others out of the forest, beckoning you their way. They think they know the way to let you out. But in the end, it is your choice that will make you waveclaw."
"What does that mean I should do?" Waveclaw asked.
There was no answer. She looked up. She was alone.
"Waveclaw! I thought I'd meet you here!"
In came Lionfang running towards her. She took a step back, Bramblepelt's voice echoing in her head.
"Sorry Lionfang. I don't love you anymore." She said gently.
Life stopped. Time stood still. Lionfang barely breathed. Waveclaw sucked in her breath. Maybe she was too sudden.
Lionfang didn't move.
"It's okay, Waveclaw. I came to tell you some news about me. Lilypetal is having kits. MY kits."Lionfang whispered.
Waveclaw suddenly felt a rejoice. Sudden release, and happiness.
"That's great Lionfang! Congrats!" Waveclaw said, rubbing against him friendly.
"I hope we stay friends." He said slowly.
"Of course we are!" Waveclaw said.
In her heart, a sudden light was growing. starclan was showing her the way out of the forest.
LOL!! i am totally on board with you, Willowfoot! this is like a break from all the impatient waiting for The Last Hope and other books!!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
-LOL thanks Spottedfire!! You guys are so nice to me! You guys certainly make my day! I love it when readers praise me :) :) :) Hope I can always write good for you! :)-
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw trotted back to her clan happily- her tail held high. She had no reason now to be afraid of being a traitor.
She saw Featherpaw eating with Lionpaw, and noticed her and his tail slowly creeping around one another. She stifled a giggle. She saw Stormtail talking with Leafwhisker- (a beautiful she cat tabby that wasn't very close to Waveclaw) and she was glad Stormsky didn't look for her all the time. She entered the warriors den and saw Whitecloud sitting on his nest, putting moss on it. No one else was in sight.
Gulping down fresh air and puffing her fur out she padded over to him.
"Hey Whitecloud." She whispered in his ear. Whitecloud turned his head. "Waveclaw! Good... I just wanted to talk to you about something!" He said. Waveclaw frowned. He was being excited about something!
"Follow me." He padded out of the Warriors Den and went behind it. Waveclaw suddenly felt her heart pounding. What was her body doing? Whitecloud was just a friend!
"Y...yes?" waveclaw breathed. She almost could feel his comforting breath on her- his handsome paws rested around hers- his long neat tail clamped over hers. It all seemed too perfect- she was in love with Whitecloud! All this time of suffering against Stormsky and Lionfang it was Whitecloud that she loved- Whitecloud who was her best friend and it was Whitecloud who was there for her!
It had been Whitecloud who she rejected not only moons ago. It was Whitecloud who had whispered his affections to her and she had angrily pushed him away.
Now she felt excitement tingling in her fur.
"Yes? Whitecloud?" She breathed. To make the moment more special, she moved into him, pressing their furs together. If he noticed, he didn't do anything because his eyes looked at Waveclaw.
"Waveclaw I need your help." he started.
"I need your help in asking Wingpelt to be my mate."
WHAT?!?!?!? OH, NO YOU DIDN'T, TABBY BOY!! WHAT IS GOIN' ON HERE?! SHE IS LIKE, 'I LOVE YOU' TO HIS FACE, AND HE'S LIKE, 'HELP ME LOVE ANOTHER CAT!' TO HER FACE!! OH, NO YOU DIDN'T!!!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
oh, Waveclaw, i feel your pain. i was SO counting on that relatonship.
Omg this happened to me last week, the guy I like pulled me aside and asked, "Can you help me ask so and so out?"

ReplyDeleteOH MAI GOD! At first I was like 'oh my God',but now I'm like OH MY GOD. Betrayal girlfriend!

O MY GOD!!!!!! Wow................ BURN!!!! you just got burned by another cat waveclaw...... SAD FACE!!!! LOL your story has been reviewed and graded by yours truly.
ReplyDeleteI GIVE IT A HUNDRED!!!!!!!! Anyone who objects to Sir Pickleheimers grade shall be punished by having to eat pickles for the rest of their life.
THE END!!!!!
-LOL thanks Jetstream! ^.^-
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw immediately felt a heavy stone being placed in her heart- weighing down all her happiness and sinking into her stomach painfully. Her fur went cold. She dropped her tail that was hoping to curl around Whitecloud's, and she moved away uncomfortably.
Whitecloud noticed the change.
"Wave...claw? What's wrong? DO you not approve of me and Wingpelt?" He asked gently.
There was a moment. Waveclaw felt her throat choked with tears. Was this how Whitecloud had felt when she rejected him?
She spun around, forcing a smile on her face.
"No! I mean, she's perfect for you! I just didn't know... that you two were close."
Whitecloud gave his biggest smile.
"Well Waveclaw, of course you wouldn't know. You're stuck up in your own little land worrying about Stormsky and Featherpaw, you barely even look into your own clanmates! Of course you don't notice me and her going out on hunting patrols almost every single day!" He exclaimed.
Waveclaw looked down sadly. He was right. She was selfish and only cared about her own life. That was why Skywhisker was deputy- she cared for every single cat.
"So...?" Whitecloud prompted. "How do I ask her to be my mate?"
"Well..." Waveclaw said slowly...
'Should I make him look stupid?' She thought warily. 'Then Wingpelt will reject him and he will be MINE!' She thought enviously.
'But wait. This isn't right. I should make them be together- they deserve it. They're great together.' Said the other half.
'No! Are you kidding me? Take this chance and go for him! You know that he's ALL you've wanted your life!!' Growled the other side of Waveclaw. 'He's given you a chance- you've rejected him." Said the angel side. 'The best you can do now is repay him by helping him. Isn't that what deputies do?'
Waveclaw made up her mind and smiled huge at him.
"Alright. Do you want to ask her privately?" She asked.
"Of course!" Whitecloud said.
"Do you want to convey the message from mouth to mouth, through a message, or through someone else?" Waveclaw asked.
Whitecloud thought about it. "Can you tell her for me?"
Waveclaw felt arrows fly through her heart. She? tell the beautiful Wingpelt that Whitecloud was in love with her? She could almost feel Wingpelt's smile growing and how she would purr with Whitecloud.
"Uh, sure, if that's what you want." Waveclaw said.
If she was uncomfortable, Whitecloud didn't notice. He paced from side to side.
"I love her so much! I can't believe this... I can't wait for our kits! She's so beautiful... I can't stand it..."
Waveclaw held back tears.
'Stop it.' She chided to herself. 'You rejected him. You can't change anything now.'
Waveclaw moved from the warrior's den, almost limping in her step. She was so much in pain, her heart was swelling. She watched her handsome Whitecloud trot up to Wingpelt and purr loudly, making a heart with their tails. She felt emotions sink down her. What made her look down was when Wingpelt licked him and he responded.
ReplyDelete"Waveclaw?" Skywhisker was there. "Are you okay?"
Waveclaw didn't respond.
"Let's go out for a walk." Skywhisker suggested gently.
Waveclaw felt as if there were thorns in her paws as she went side by side Skywhisker to the river.
"There's something going on. is it love?" Asked Skywhisker.
"Yes!" Burst out waveclaw. "Yes! Oh please, Skywhisker, as my mentor, my deputy, my friend, help me!" She whispered.
Skywhisker smiled gently. "Waveclaw, you will always have my guidance. It's Whitecloud, isn't it? I've noticed that you've padded after him for quite some time."
"I don't know what I've done!" Waveclaw burst. "I thought I loved Stormsky, but now I love him, but he loves Wingpelt!"
Skywhisker looked into the river. "Raintalon and I never had that problem." She said quietly. "Do you know why?"
Waveclaw looked up.
"It was because we were blunt in our affections- we cut right to the chase. We didn't keep guessing, or pretending. I told him I loved him with all my heart, and he told me the same."
"So you're saying I should go up to Whitecloud and say to him that I love him." Waveclaw said flatly.
Skywhisker cocked her head. "Not neccessarily. I think love will blossom for you. There are many other cats that admire you- you just haven't noticed."
"What?" Waveclaw burst out. "MANY other cats?"
Skywhisker purred. "Just take a look in the camp! Remember, don't be too long or the petals will fall!"
Waveclaw cocked her head, but Skywhisker was already moving down back to Hiddenclan.
I swear Waveclaw. This is scary. I did the same thing, I said that they deserve to be together if it makes them happy and it doesn't matter how I feel. I feel the same as story Waveclaw. O. My. Gosh.
ReplyDelete-Cloverspots

ReplyDeleteTHX, WAVE!!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
whoops! Sorry, Wavey!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
A.K.A Spotsy
Waveclaw sighed. She looked at her own reflection. WAS she really as pretty as Whitecloud once saw her? Would she ever be good enough for deputy?
ReplyDelete'Not unless Skywhisker dies.' She finished. And that would never happen. She couldn't allow herself to do that. Never.
She padded back to camp just to find Whitecloud and Wingpelt emerging from the clan, tails twined in pure love. They were licking so romantically, Waveclaw had to cough to break the awkward moment.
"Oh... Waveclaw!" Wingpelt said. Waveclaw had to admit Wingpelt was very beautiful and attractive- especially to Whitecloud.
"waveclaw!" Whitecloud said, beaming brightly. "We were just going hunting. Mind if you join us?"
"With PLEASURE." She said softly. She padded alongside whitecloud, and was silent as they trotted up the bank.
Instantly, Wingpelt leapt into a crouch and finished off a rabbit.
"That was beautiful, gorgeous." Whitecloud purred. She giggled and they went into a fit.
Rolling her eyes, waveclaw called that she would go deeper into the forest. She felt a familiar pang of being alone.
She went further, only stopped for some mice and crows.
"Wave...tail? Or is it Wavewhisker?"
Waveclaw spun around. Thundertail. Her old friend.
"Thundertail!" She called cheerfully. She felt warmth spread over her tail. She needed a friend nowadays. "it's Waveclaw." She added meaningfully.
"Ah... that's right! The puny little apprentice I met once!"
Waveclaw had to smile at his playful tone.
"So how's hunting?" He asked.
"Good." She mewed curtly. He furrowed.
"Something wrong there? I can tell- don't give me that look now. Tell old Thundertail what's going on."
Waveclaw thought. No, she couldn't tell him. he would never understand. She went with her already made up excuse:
"I want to be deputy really bad."
It was true, yet not the reason of her bad mood. She wanted to be with Whitecloud more than ever.
"Of course... the ambitious little Wavekit." Thundertail smiled lightly.
"Don't feel sad. You'll get your turn. I'm sure a BEAUTIFUL, smart, helpful, fierce young she-cat like you will get deputy soon!" He said.
"Oh- Lionfang had 2 kits with Lilypetal." He said.
"I-" Waveclaw was going to say I know, but held herself back. "That's wonderful! Do you have a mate?"
The words were out. She didn't even know why she was talking to him about mating. she was supposed to be hunting! THIS was the reason why she wasn't deputy!
Thundertail smiled at her. "Nope. I'm just ole Thundertail strolling by."
"Well I ought to go now. The mice are rotting." She joked and Thundertail burst out laughing. Waveclaw somehow felt refreshed after the conversation.
Okay,this needs an award. It's awesome!
ReplyDeleteFirestar
nice story, waveclaw. but, um, i kinda had different names in mnd for mistpaw, rosepaw, stormpaw and ghostpaw. if thats ok w/you.
ReplyDelete-wolfstar/wolfshadow
-LOL! Wolfstar, I totally was just making up random names! As I said in a couple posts up (actually more than a couple), the story has NOTHING to do with the actual Hiddenclan. So, the names of the apprentices are totally different and made up, got it? :) Hope you understand that!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Firestar!!!-
AWESOME, WAVEY!! Sorry about my rampage spasm on cbox, I was just mad that no one was on. THIS IS AMAZING! Firestar, u r soo right, this needs an Oscar! ...Or is it a Grammie? Maybe a Noble Prize?
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
-Spotsy: it's okay... I get rampages too. I'm sorry I'm not on so much. Thanks so much for supporting me! You guys are awesome. Thanks for apologizing. :)-
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw returned to camp, with three mice dangling at her jaws. She saw Whitecloud and Wingpelt just enter camp- their jaws barely with prey. She growled angrily. Those lovebirds didn't even go out to hunt- only smooch over themselves. She tossed her prey into the pile and spun around angrily just to bump into Skywhisker.
"Sky! Whisker!" She said in broken words.
"Waveclaw... I need to tell you I'm going into retirement." Skywhisker said softly.
waveclaw felt her heart freeze in mid air.
"What?" Was all she burst out. "You're not even that old yet! You still have an apprentice!"
"I know!" Mused Skywhisker. "But I want others, like you, to become deputy."
Waveclaw smiled weakly, and her stomach got butterflies at the mention of being deputy. "Sky, you don't have to do this for me."
But Skywhisker was already walking away to the elder's den. Waveclaw looked up and saw Wolfstar on the top of the high rock, announcing a clan meeting.
She slowly padded over, numb with shock. What was going on?
"...has decided to retire into the elder's den." Wolfstar was announcing. "I say these words by the powers of Starclan the new deputy of hiddenclan shall be..."
There was dead silence, and waveclaw felt a grip tug at her fur. She closed her eyes.
"Waveclaw!!" Wolfstar yowled.
Waveclaw's eyes flew open. She did it! She did it! She was the new deputy of Hiddenclan!
She saw cats swim over her, congratulating her and she felt the warmth of her clan mates seep into her fur.
"Speaking of which, there is a gathering tonight." Wolfstar said. "I have spoken to those cats who will come."
Waveclaw's heart skipped a beat. Her first gathering as deputy... she met Wolfstar's eyes and she nodded.
Waveclaw felt the night wind ruffle her fur as she padded into the open night of the gathering. Already, the cats from Secret and Silentclan were there. She eagerly swam into the bonding cats, searching for no cat in particular, but wanting to meet new friends.
ReplyDelete"Yung un! Where's your Skywhiser?"
Waveclaw spun around to meet a frail looking Secretclan cat.
"She's not coming today. She's retired. I'm the new deputy." Waveclaw felt pride flare in her words.
"What?" Outcried the elder, and Waveclaw took a step back, offended. "YOU take over Skywhiser? Pathetic little warriors... what is up with deputies these days?"
waveclaw felt her fur get hot, but a new voice sounded.
"Now now, Blueblossom, just clam down. I'm sure your just underestimating Waveclaw."
Waveclaw looked up and a sudden warmth flooded her tail when she saw it was Thundertail. He winked at her as Blueblossom snorted and walked away. He moved closer to her.
"Don't mind BLueblossom- she's a bit snappy these days."
Waveclaw blushed.
"So YOU'RE the new deputy, eh? See what I told you?" Thundertail winked again and Waveclaw felt pleasure and happiness blossom into her heart.
Suddenly, Thundertail's happy face fell.
"I shouldn't be telling you this, Waveclaw, but I know I have to. Our leader is planning on attacking Hiddenclan."
Waveclaw felt her heart lurch. "Thundertail... you shouldn't be telling me." She saw softly.
"I know." Thundertail lashed his tail angrily. "But Hiddenclan doesn't deserve it- Mintstar claims that hiddenclan has been over our territory!"
"What?" Waveclaw stood up, her eyes blazing with anger and the defending of her own clan. "Of course not!" She spat, then saw other cats look at her. She sat down again. "We haven't!"
"I know. That's why I'm telling you." Thundertail said gently.
Waveclaw looked into his eyes and felt herself drawn to them... she started leaning into his warm breath...
"Thundertail! There you are!"
Waveclaw jolted up from her trance with Thundertail and looked uncomfortable. It was Lionfang. She averted his gaze.
"Mintstar wants to see you." Lionfang said.
Waveclaw bounded away quickly to Featherpaw.
"Keep low, and don't make too close friends. The Gathering will start soon."
Featherpaw nodded and went off with Lionpaw at her heels. Then, the howl from Wolfstar meant that the Gathering had begun.
Or like,a Young Author Award? (if that exists.)
ReplyDeleteFirestar
(umm... skywhisker is in 8th grade... i dont think she's ready for retirement... :D ANYWAY. back to the story. AND IF I LOOSE A LIFE DON'T BE OFFENDED BUT I'LL BE REALLY MAD!!!)

LOSEING LIVES SUCK!!!!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
(uh wolfstar? waveclaw said it has nothing to do with the real hiddenclan. Remember?? lol fail.
ReplyDelete-Wolfy was kidding Jet :) Didn't you see her ":D" at the end? :)
ReplyDeleteLol you guys crack me up and especially you Wolfy! ;) I won't make you lose a life... not YET at least!! :) :)-
Waveclaw ducked low and found her eyes resting upon Thundertail talking to a young and pretty she-cat from his own clan. Wolfstar was talking, but she ignored it and shouldered her way over there. She coughed to get their attention.
"Oh! Waveclaw! Watersky, allow me to introduce you to the beautiful, talented, and smart deputy of Hiddenclan... Waveclaw!"
Waveclaw saw the beautiful she cat turn towards her and suddenly a thought boiled in her mind- was this cat Thundertail's mate?
'Even if she was, why does it matter?' Sharply said Waveclaw in the back of her mind. 'You're deputy and that's all that matters.'
"Hi. I'm Fireflake, Thundertail's sister."
Relief flooded into Waveclaw.
"nice to meet you!" Waveclaw smiled lightly.
With a nod, Fireflake disappeared and Waveclaw was left alone with Thunertail.
"...Hiddenclan is striving strong!" Wolfstar had just finished. Waveclaw gave a yowl of approval with her other clanmates, and then sat down next to Thundertail.
"Uh oh." Thundertail whispered to her as Mintstar stood up, shouldering her way past Wolfstar.
"SECRETCLAN IS DONE WITH HIDDENCLAN! HIDDENCLAN HAS BEEN STEALING OUR TERRITORY!!"
LOL i totally missed that. that just proves how much of an idiot i am LOL
ReplyDeleteWow. That Mintstar has got nerve. Challenging Hiddenclan of stealing prey. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT SENTANCE?!?
ReplyDeleteWHOOPS. Territory, not prey. Jet, I'm an idiot, too. There should be a club for idiots.
ReplyDeletethere sould also be a mexican den!! im not jokin!!!!
ReplyDelete-Lol you guys are fun-ney!-
ReplyDeleteInstantly Waveclaw was on her paws yowling with the outbursts that came from cats all around her. Mintstar's eyes blazed as she turned towards Wolfstar.
"Do you DARE deny this?" She hissed.
Wolfstar leaped forward so their noses were tip to tip.
"Of course I deny this! Our warriors have been nowhere near you're territory!"
Mintstar growled.
Thundertail turned t oWaveclaw. "I told you..."
Waveclaw narrowed her own eyes. What could possibly make mintstar accuse them? There haven't been any cat over by Secretclan- she hadn't ordered any recent patrols there and she herself hasn't seen Lionfang for a couple of moons. Waveclaw looked around the crowd, looking for any cat who was suspicious.
BINGO!
Well, not really. Featherheart was the only one shuffling her paws uncomfortably. Waveclaw moved her gaze to find Mistbreeze also looking down in sorrow/awkwardness.
Turning to the other side of the clan, she saw Runningheart looking away uncomfortably. 3 suspects. One job.
Yet any other skilled cat could be acting out here- she herself certainly did when she was secretly meeting Lionfang.
Wolfstar held Mintstar's gaze for a wavering second, and then said, "I swear by Starclan none of our cats have been on your borders."
Mintstar lashed her tail. "Well, see to the loyalty of your warriors. If not, you will be expecting trouble."
With a hiss, she leapt off the rock and the Gathering was over.
WOlfstar immediately went to Waveclaw.
"Say your goodbyes. Then head straight to camp." Wolfstar ordered crisply.
Waveclaw nodded and then turned to Thundertail.
"Well I suppose this is goodbye till the next Gathering." She meowed softly. It was really awkward suddenly with him. But they were sincerely just friends! Yet how many times did she say that when she was actually in love?
'NO!' Yowled her inner voice. 'You can't love him! You're deputy and you can't turn your back on your birth clan! Thundertail is JUST A FRIEND!'
Thundertail also looked a bit wary. "Yeah. Well, um, see you next Gathering?"
Waveclaw took a step closer to him daringly. "Yeah. Goodbye."
"Bye."
Yet they still sat there, neither one making the attempt to break away from each other's eyes. Waveclaw kept staring into his handsome eyes and Thundertail was absorbed in her beautiful green eyes.
Finally, with Wolfstar's gaze on her, waveclaw tore away.
"Wavey- wait."
Waveclaw froze. It was the first time any one but her closest friends called her "?Wavey"
"Yes?" She said to Thundertail, warmth in her body.
He looked awkward. "Uh... happy hunting. I guess. I mean, will you meet me at the border tomorrow at sun high?"
He blurted it so fast Waveclaw was speechless before Wolfstar padded over. Waveclaw stiffened. Had she heard their conversation.
"I think that's a long enough goodbye." Wolfstar said curtly. "Come Waveclaw. We have business to discuss."
Growling at the Secretclan warrior, she pulled Waveclaw away, leaving Thundertail's desperate eyes searching for an answer.
Oooh, I was gonna say, Waveclaw and Thundertail were getting a little too close for comfort. LOVE.... some say it happens once in your life... others say it's common... I myself say it is to be treasured, never abused...
ReplyDelete-LOL!!!!-
ReplyDeleteDawn. Sun. Light. Waveclaw woke and stretched her legs, a happy feeling suddenly growing upon her at the sight of seeing Thundertail today. She went outside to see Featherpaw sitting in her normal spot.
'Geez I need to start training her more.' She thought.
"Waveclaw? Can our apprentices train today together?" It was Stormsky. However, his eyes did not carry the usual love passion for her. Steady, she nodded.
Waveclaw sat next to Stormsky to watch Featherpaw's fighting skills grow.
"Waveclaw? Leafwhisker is having kits." Stormsky paused. "My kits."
Waveclaw felt joy burst into her heart. She didn't know why.
"Stormsky, that's fantastic!" She said.
"Wait- you're not mad??!!" Stormsky said.
"of course not! I never loved you, no offense. But now I am happy for you!" Waveclaw said.
Stormsky smiled sweetly. "Thanks waveclaw! I knew you were the best deputy ever! Icepaw! Get your butt over there!" He called back to his apprentice.
Sunhigh.
Waveclaw trotted nervously to the entrance of camp. She hoped nobody noticed she was gone.
"Waveclaw!" It was Whitecloud charging his way there. She got a bit jittery.
"Yes, Whitecloud?" She said.
"Are you going hunting? Can I come?" Asked Whitecloud.
"What about Wingpelt?" Asked Waveclaw, a bit bitterly.
Whitecloud looked down. "We have a big argument yesterday. So can I come?"
"Sorry I wanted to go alone." Waveclaw said hastily. Whitecloud shrugged painfully and ran off.
'Oh Starclan. I hope this is worth it. Rejecting Whitecloud was about the worst thing I could have done...'
She padded to the Secretclan border and waiting patiently.
Then, out of the corner of her eye, 2 cats came out.
2 cats??!! Wait, what was going on??
Waveclaw suddenly felt claws scrape against her pelt and a roaring in her ears. 4 cats landed on top of her and pinned her down.
"What's going on!!" She hissed.
"Oh you know." Hissed the lead cat- Windpelt of Secretclan said. "you're the trespassing cat, aren't you? We've caught your scent around and knew you were coming today."
'How did they know I was coming-' waveclaw thought suddenly.
'NO!' She yowled and roared inside her head. 'NO! THUNDERTAIL COULDN'T HAVE TURNED ME IN!!'
Suspense! Awesome! It only gets better by every blurb posted.
ReplyDeleteFirestar
yeah, really. no offense AT ALL, but i kinda think waveclaw(in the story, not you) deserved it. i hate it when cats leave their clan for some enemy warrior. but thats just me. :)
ReplyDelete-wolfstar
LOL I know right? I totally think that too, that's why I did it! For suspense and hatred here! LOL I love loyalty! I was so happy Firestar chose Sandstorm who was actually in Thunderclan :) Thanks Firestar!!!
ReplyDelete... Your search for awesome words to describe Waveclaw's story has failed. It is too awesome for words.
ReplyDeleteI MEAN IT!!
Spottedfire
The four cats dragged her alongside the floor, hissing every time her tail flicked in annoyance.
ReplyDelete'No. Thundertail COULDN'T have turned me in!!' Waveclaw thought frantically. There was no possible reason why Thundertail would turn her in! She had to get back to camp!
too late. She had entered the Secretclan realm. She saw Lionfang sharing tongues with his friend and when he saw her he jumped up, his eyes wild with fright for his friend.
She saw Mintstar's eyes blaze down on her and she flinched as she met Thundertail's eyes. Anger surged through her.
By now, half of Secretclan was gathered.
"So." Mintstar started. "What do you have to say for yourself... trespasser?"
"I have not gone over your borders." Waveclaw said steadily.
Hisses from the crowd and she growled with one cat unsheathed his claws.
"Silence." Mintstar said to her clan.
"We have caught your scent over the border VARIOUS times, WaveCLAW..." mintstar said slowly.
Waveclaw looked straight at Mintstar. "I don't know why you're accusing us with so little evidence, but I have not ordered any patrol over here or been here myself."
Mintstar coldly glanced at her.
"Take her to the cave in the back. Rowanclaw! Skynight! Thundertail! Guard her!"
waveclaw felt coldness seep into her as she was thrust into the cold black cave.
She barred her teeth. She could easily take down the three warriors outside of her cave. She heard paw steps.
Thundertail.
"It's not for the reason you think, Waveclaw, if that's what you think." Thundertail started softly.
Waveclaw looked away, tears brimming the edges of her eyes. She swallowed.
"What other reason could there be?" She burst angrily.
Thundertail turned his head to the entrance and saw no one entering. Then, he went to sit by Waveclaw and pressed his fur against her. To his delight, she didn't move away.
"Waveclaw, I turned you in because I love you."
Waveclaw felt claws scratch at her heart at his words. He loved her? Since when? Waveclaw hated going against her own clan. What about Whitecloud? Would they ever hunt together again?
She stayed still, not moving. She felt lifeless.
"I... like you." Waveclaw said, mumbling the truth out to him.
Thundertail gently lifted his tail and put it on her body. She felt love seep into her anger in the heart and looked him in the eyes.
"I turned you in so that you would be in this cave and then I volunteered to guard you so I would see you every day."
"So I'm a prisoner here." Waveclaw said bitterly. "And now almost every cat wants my tail."
"I don't." Thundertail said softly, his breath into her ear. "I want to be with you forever! can't you see...?"
Waveclaw's ears pricked up as another set of claws was heard. She broke apart from his loving grasp and went deeper inside the cave.
She growled. "Get away thundertail!"
Thundertail knew she was acting.
"Let's go, Thunder." Said Rowanclaw.
Thundertail and Rowanclaw started for the entrance, and Thundertail looked back to stare at Waveclaw's own eyes with such tenderness Waveclaw cried, with confusion.
I agree with Spotsy.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you, Fire! Do you agree that Leafpool needs to die, or that Waveclaw's story is too awesome for words?
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
i'd say both.
ReplyDelete-wolfstar
I 100% agree with both Spotsy!
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys. As we all know, Leafpool is EVIL, and she MUST DIE!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
-You guys are funny. I pity Leafpool. Yet she's stupid for having kits. Psh.-
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw shivered and the cold crept up her fur. She crumpled on the ground and wished she could have Thundertail's warm body around her.
Or was it Whitecloud? Her heart ached for his familiar scent. His white pelt. Familiar eyes. What was the clan thinking by now? Waveclaw abandoned the clan? Waveclaw had run away?
She saw Thundertail sneak in.
"Rowanclaw and Skynight are on break." He whispered, his tail barely touching her haunches. She breathed.
"Thundertail... please help me escape." She choked on her words.
Thundertail looked hurt but saw she was telling the truth. He nuzzled her affectionately and licked her various times. Waveclaw made no move, but her heart lurched with happiness at being with him. She curled her tail around his.
"I'll see you at the Gatherings." She whispered.
"Okay." Thundertail meowed slowly. "Fly."
And she did.
"Waveclaw!!!???? Where have you been?" Wolfstar asked tartly.
"I was just captured by Secretclan." Waveclaw said. "They suspected me as the trespasser."
"What? Hogwash." Griffenclaw said. Dragonwing came to stand by Wolfstar.
"You escaped! That's bad news. Should we attack them or wait for them to attack us?" She asked.
Wolfstar narrowed her eyes. "We should wait. Having our clan as the field is our advantage. Besides, we shouldn't go look for a fight. Come on, let's go back to the clan."
Waveclaw trudged behind her leader.
"Waveclaw!!!" It was Whitecloud charging over from the opposite side of the clan. waveclaw's heart lifted as they embraced and nuzzled.
"I was so worried!" He said.
"I'm fine now." Waveclaw said. "How's Wingpelt?"
"Pathetic." Whitecloud said. "I miss her with all my heart but she's gone off with Thornpelt."
Waveclaw's mind lurched at his first sentence, but swallowed. It was okay! Right now, she had to make sure her clan was safe from Secretclan.
woah. CONFLICTING EMOTIONS!! lol that was for the story waveclaw lol. yes, i agree with both spotsy. leafpool is stupid and needs to die but she is one hackin awesome medicine cat. LOL
ReplyDeleteLOL, Jet! Yeah, Leafpool is awesome at what she does: being a med. cat.
ReplyDeleteLEAFPOOL MUST DIE !!!
Spottedfire
yup
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw, your story is SO COOL I CAN DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteP.S What's the title of your story?
LOL Nice Willowfoot... hehe... Actually, I'm not sure yet. I'll think of it after I'm done. Any ideas for a title? I'm thinking like Waveclaw's Destiny or maybe "Ashes Falling" or something cool...
ReplyDeleteWolfstar growled. "I can smell them coming." She hissed. "Featherpaw! Get in the shadows! I can see your butt sticking out!"
Waveclaw gritted her teeth at her apprentice and Featherpaw's heart was pounding. waveclaw could see the Secretclan cats- she scanned the ranks for Thundertail or Lionfang- but couldn't see.
"Secretclan! Attack!" Roared the deputy, Birdwhisker.
The clans become lighted. Secretclan fell on top of Hiddenclan, and the fighting began.
Waveclaw instantly saw Thundertail fighting Runningheart and she hissed as Thundertail got a bad scratch. Her heart ached for him and she just wanted to wrap herself around him and purr.
Her thoughts were cut off as a Secretclan warrior, Hollyclaw, leapt on her back. Waveclaw's training with SKywhisker flew in her mind. Dodging her heafty blows, Waveclaw nimbly swept off to one side and hit Hollyclaw with so much force Hollyclaw leapt away, growling. Claws tore at her hind legs and she spun around, growling with so much integrity. It was Cloudflame, a tom she had seen at the Gatherings.
Waveclaw had to admit he was tough to fight- despite her training. She kicked him off her back and sent him sprawling to the ground. She looked around. Hiddenclan seemed to win.
"Waveclaw! Waveclaw! Help me!"
Waveclaw spun around to see Whitecloud under the claws of Thundertail. Her heart broke as she raced over. She loved Thundertail- she really did. But she had to save Whitecloud. Not only because she loved him too, but because he was a family member- a clan member. She tore off Thundertail gently and he looked hurt, and raced off.
"I'll go scare him off." Waveclaw growled. Whitecloud nodded thankfully and curled his tail around hers. Again she felt torn as she raced after thundertail, acting as if she was going to rip him apart.
They ran together till they reached the river. Waveclaw purred as they embraced lovingly and violently started to lick.
"I'm sorry." Waveclaw whispered in his ear as they licked each other, leaning against each other. She let his scent drown her. Thundertail...
"I love you Waveclaw. Please join us!" Thundertail whispered.
But Waveclaw gave him one last lick and said,
"We can't ever be together. I'm sorry. Goodbye." And she raced back to her camp.
O.O
ReplyDeleteYAAAAY!!!!!! Waveclaw, your so talented!!!
Spottedfire
Thanks Spotsy! :) :)
ReplyDeleteShe limped back to her clan. Her fur prickled at the sight of Whitecloud and she raced over, licking him with such love in her actions that Whtiecloud pulled her over and they embraced, purring together and wrapping themselves around each other.
"You love me Waveclaw!" He gasped when they finally stopped. "You never told me!"
"I couldn't have. You loved Wingpelt."
'And I also loved Thundertail.' She added silently.
Whitecloud smiled. "But it's over now, isn't it? wingpelt and I? You're mine and mine forever. I love you so and you love me." Whitecloud leaned into her and Waveclaw felt so dizzy. This was all happening so fast!
"Come on." She said, happiness springing in her heart. "Let's help our clan."
*worried expression* it's not over, is it? it's just getting good!!
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
Well,my story is called The Rising Darkness. Waveclaw's Destiny sounds good.

-Lol nice guys... thanks Firestar! :)-
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw brought some marigold to Cloverspots.
"is this horsetail??" She asked.
Cloverspots snorted. "You think that's even CLOSE to horsetail??!! THAT'S MARIGOLD!!" She yowled angrily, wrapping Dragonwing in cobwebs. Waveclaw flinched.
"Hey!" Whitecloud said protectively, wrapping himself over Waveclaw. "Don't talk to her like that! She was just helping!" He growled and CLoverspots rolled her eyes.
"mates..." she hissed.
"We've defeated Secretclan! Yay!" Said Blossomkit, a new born kit.
"We ALWAYS defeat them, what'd you think?" Snorted Tigerkit, brother to Blossomkit.
Waveclaw watched the kits with a wild light in her eyes.
"I'd like kits one day." Breathed Whitecloud into her ear.
Waveclaw shifted uneasily. She didn't want kits- just to be leader...
"waveclaw get over here!" Cloverspots said. "I need to fix you up."
Waveclaw limped over and let Cloverspots wound her torn ear.
"Thanks Clover." Waveclaw mumbled before going over to Whitecloud.
"Secretclan will not be happy." She mumbled. "Especially with a Gathering tomorrow..." Whitecloud added. "Come on- let's get some rest."
Uhhhh, can you post now?
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
-Whoops sorry I was on writer's break hehe...-
ReplyDeleteWaveclan opened her eyes. She found the sun staring into her. She felt around. This wasn't her nest. She immediately woke up. She was in a path of grass and the air around her was foggy and light. She saw two cats pad up to her.
"Ummm... where am I?" She asked.
"You are in Starclan." Said the first tom.
"What? I'm dead?" Waveclaw snarled. "Or... is this a dream."
"Waveclaw, we are sorry." Whispered the second cat- a she-cat.
Waveclaw looked closer at the she-cat.
"Nightwhisper? Is that you?" She asked.
"Yes. It's me." She said plainly. "I have waited for the day you would lead Hiddenclan, but you can not any more." She said. '
Waveclaw felt chills strike her heart. What were they talking about?? This was a dream!! Right? She thought that they were here to give her a prophecy!
"What's the prophecy?" She asked.
Nightwhisper shook her head. Hawkfire stepped forward.
"There is no prophecy. We're sorry Waveclaw. You're dead."
-I'll post later :)-
(WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!? Waveclaw, your so young!! Or are you going to be reincarnated, like my charcter on Waveclan? Hmmm....)
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
Great StarClan and beyond...HOLY FRIGGIN CRAP!!
ReplyDelete-lol nice guys... okay here it is revealed!!!!!-
ReplyDeleteWaveclaw blinked.
She blinked again.
She blinked again.
She blinked again.
She was waiting for the two cats to burst out laughing saying how it was a joke- how she was still alive- how she was getting a prophecy- how she would wake up to Whitecloud's handsome face and lovely smell.
Silence. No laugh. No joke. No prophecy. No... no Whitecloud.
"You're kidding." She flatly said. "I'm... dead."
"Waveclaw, you knew that you were going to die someday..." gently said Nightwhisper.
Waveclaw whipped around. "Yes!!! I knew!!BUT I thought I would die as Wavestar!! I thought I would die defending my clan!!!!" She hissed with anger blaring through her eyes.
Nightwhisper hung her head.
Suddenly, Bramblepelt (who remembers him?? :)] came from the shadows.
"Stop making this so sudden for her." He hissed to Hawkfire and Nightwhisper. He moved besides Waveclaw.
"Waveclaw, I'm sorry you had to hear it so sudden..."
"How did I die??" Waveclaw asked, furious. "I was destined to become LEADER OF Hiddenclan!! HOW. DID. I DIE." She spat into Bramblepelt's face.
Bramblepelt closed his eyes.
"You were kitting.
You and Whitecloud had always been so close- the kits were already there in your belly long ago. But cloverspots didn't recognize your large belly- she thought it was from your eating.Even when she was fixing you from the Secretclan attack she didn't notice. It came while you were sleeping. A tiny she-kit. Something was wrong- Cloverspots was too late from picking marigold. You were losing blood..." Bramblepelt trailed off.
"I...kitted?" Waveclaw asked, a bit confused. She had never noticed her big belly swollen. All she was worried about was her future as leader and all her lovesick mates!
"Is my kit still alive?" She asked.
"Yes." Bramblepelt said. "Whitecloud is taking care of her. She's nursing under Morningpelt."
"What's her name?" Asked Waveclaw.
(Any ideas for her kit's name? Please make it pretty or cool :) and don't worry, this isn't the end of the story, it's just the beginning :)}
(Idk, maybe Cloudkit? Or Stormykit? Possibly Secretkit or Lionkit? Maybe Featherkit or Swiftkit, Mistkit, Shadowkit, Dreamkit, Starkit, Sweetkit, or Whitekit? Or-
ReplyDeleteO.O WHAT IF YOU NAME IT WAVEKIT AND HAVE IT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE YOU? Or Whitecloud is so sad and he goes back with Wingpelt and name her Wingkit?)
Just an idea.
Spottedfire
Wow that's a really cool idea! I'll think about it, and thanks for the names! I like Dreamkit and Cloudkit, but i'll wait for other names :)
ReplyDeleteHere's a list of names I thought up: (for she-kits)
ReplyDeleteRushingkit
Lightningkit
Lilykit
Willowkit
Waterkit
Splashkit
"Her name is Silverkit. She has Whitecloud's white pelt, yet your fiery ambition." Bramblepelt finished.
ReplyDelete"I never got to be leader." Waveclaw said sadly, looking down. Bramblepelt lifted her head. "You didn't. But Silverkit can." He whispered.
Silverkit opened her eyes.
"Silverkit! Come get your milk!" Said Morningpelt.
Silverkit spat in her head. 'I don't want your milk. I want my REAL mom's milk. Oh mother, where are you??'
Aww... Poor half orphan....
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
so sad!
ReplyDelete-I know... :( Poor Silverkit...-
ReplyDeleteSilverkit watched her father come back from hunting and pelted after him.
"DADDY DADDY DADDY!! Are you done hunting? Can you take me battle training????!!!! Please???"
"Silverkit, you learn after a while that your parents always say no..." Came a voice behind her.
Silverkit spun around, teeth barred- it was Flamekit- her 'littermate' or Morningpelt's son.
"Shut up Flamekit." She said, half teasing. "I think that Whitecloud loves me enough to take me out... right?" She turned back to Whitecloud.
Whitecloud sighed. "I'm sorry Silverkit but Flamekit is right. no kits out of the clan."
Silverkit slumped, and she sensed Flamekit's sympathy for her.
"Instead... do you want to play Clans?" Asked Flamekit, trying to cheer her up.
Silverkit eyed Flamekit steadily.
'He's just trying to help you. Don't tantrum over that.' She thought.
"Sure!" She cried, racing him back to the nursery.
Waveclaw watched Whitecloud and Silverkit run through camp, and her heart ache. The new deputy was Dragonwing and she bit back a retort over how good of a leader she would have been.
"Roar!! Fear me Hiddenclan!! Secretclan will take over!!!" Roared Flamekit and he tussled over Silverkit.
"Silentclan will destroy Secretclan! Sneak Attack Patrol! Go!!!" Yelled Hawkkit.
"Hawkkit... you don't yell Sneak Attack when you give a SNEAK attack, that's why it's supposed to be sneaky." Interrupted Streamkit.
"UGH... Streamkit, you don't have to always poop the story do you??" Complained her sister Skykit.
Skykit, Streamkit, Flamekit, and Hawkkit were the kits of Morningpelt. Silverkit was, of course, nursing with Morningpelt, and Smokekit and Blackkit were the eldest kits, going to be apprentices in half a moon.
"What's up with Smokekit and Blackkit? They're getting so haughty..." Flamekit whispered to Silverkit.
"Well, they're going to be apprentices. They think kits are... immature." Silverkit added silently,
'and they should be excited to be apprentices. I can't wait to start training and kick some serious Secretclan butt out there.'
Flameclan purred in amusement, as if knowing what she was thinking.
"I'm going to go talk to them." Flamekit said, throwing Silverkit an evil look.
Ooh, can I suggest some warrior names for Silverkit?

-OMG Spotsy, those are BEAUTIFUL names!! Thank you so much!!! I really like Silverwing, Silverwave, Silversoul, and Silverfeather!!! I will consider!!! Thanks!!-
ReplyDeleteSilverkit walked side by side her friend up to Blackkit and Smokekit.
"Well well well if it isn't Flamedung and Silvermotherdead..." Commented Blackkit, the more arrogant of the two.
Silverkit clenched her teeth together as if she was going to rip our his heart for calling her Silvermother dead. Flamekit put his tail on her back and her fur flew flat.
"Just watch." She hissed. "When I'm an apprentice I WILL. BEAT. YOU."
Flamekit and her walked away.
"i don't see the point in talking to them." She hissed.
"Well at least Smokekit didn't say anything." Observed Flamekit.
"Silverkit, come here!!! Come here!!!" Streamkit was calling her and Silverkit raced over to her best friend.
"What is sit Streamkit??" She said.
"Skykit is attacking Hawkkit!" She said.
Silverkit blinked.
(hey, can we, as other cats in Hiddenclan, add more to the story? Like, I watched the kits play fighting. Ya da ya da ya da.... And all that jazz. So, if it's okay with you, can we?)

Blackkits warrior name DUMBO
ReplyDeletesandfire
never mind that
ReplyDelete->Spotsy, of course you can!! Just please don't put any dramatic stuff or it'll turn out just like a regular page, but this one is called Waveclaw's self story. I am open to comments from readers, as you said from their perspective. An acceptable post would be this:
ReplyDeleteI watched Silverkit walk around camp with Flamekit, and chuckled to myself. Although I was an elder, I knew much about Waveclaw's daughter- after all, I was her previous mentor. The same fiery eyes, the leader spirit, Silverkit could just as might take over Waveclaw's destiny as leader!
-Skywhisker
(Pretending that was from Sky's point of view)
Does that make sense?
"This is the final show down!! Whoever wins this battle is going to fight Smokekit, the hottest kit of us all!" Squealed Streamkit.
ReplyDeleteSilverkit sighed. She knew of her best friend's obsession with the handsome kit. She rolled her eyes.
"Streamkit, come off it... Skykit is going to win paws down." Silverkit said.
Streamkit glared at Silverkit. "Stop being a pessimist." She growled playfully. "Go Hawkkit!" She yelled.
From the corner of her eye, Silverkit could see Smokekit watching Streampaw. Was it admiration in his eyes? Or amusement? Or... was he watching her?
Quickly hurrying away, Silverkit paused by Flamekit.
"Hey Flamekit, do you want to go hunting tonight?" Asked Silverkit secretly.
"What??!! Silverkit, you know hunting out of clan is forbidden..." he said.
Silverkit rolled her eyes. "There is NOTHING to do as kits, honestly!!!"
"You can clean the elder's bedding." Said a deep voice.
Silverkit gasped and spun around, but Rainflight had only heard the last portion of her sentence.
"Daddy!!" Flamekit threw himself on his dad and bit his tail. Rainflight faked a death and Silverkit couldn't help but burst out laughing. Rainflight was the funniest dad and she couldn't help but feel jealous of Flamekit. HER dad never visited her, but only brooded to himself outside of the clan.
"Let's go visit the elders!! They MUST have a good story for us!!" Flamekit suggested and Silverkit instantly forgot all traces about hunting as she paced Flamekit to the nursery.
"Ah..." Said Skywhisker, the youngest elder. "Our kits want a story...well, I shall tell you a story of a wonderful young cat who was destined for a great leadership, but her love relationships got in the way..."
I chuckled slightly as Silverkit listened eagerly to Skywhisker. Little did she know that this was a tale about her own mother! I was cleaning the bedding in the elder's den, which was always a treat. They had great stories if the clan before I joined.
ReplyDeleteSpottedfire
(yeah, I understand!)
|That's perfect! :)|
ReplyDeleteSilverkit listened to Skywhisker in fascination, yet she found it odd that Skywhisker never mentioned the she-cat's name, or what clan she came from. Flamekit also seemed to notice because at the end of the story he asked,
"What was her name?"
Silverkit saw the slightest bit of hesitation in Skywhisker's eyes.
"She was called Blackwing." Hastily covered Dragonwing, as she came into the den, glaring at Skywhisker. "Now, you kits have had a long day, off to your nap."
Silverkit padded silently after Flamekit. Blackwing?? Was Dragonwing telling the truth or no?
Flamekit fell into step with Silverkit.
"Wow... Blackwing was really brave. She risked meeting Thundertail AND Lionfang while keeping up with Whitestorm and Stormclaws."
Silverkit twitched her ear. Somehow the names didn't sound right.
"Yeah... she must have been really pretty and popular." Silverkit agreed as her and Flamekit turned the corner.
"Silverkit! Silverkit! Silverkit!! You WILL NOT guess what happened!!" Squealed Streamkit.
"What." Silverkit said flatly.
"SMOKEKIT WON AGAINST SKYKIT!!" Streamkit cried out.
Silverkit looked past her- a look of triumphant on Smokekit's face as he had Skykit pinned.
"I bet I could beat him paws down." Flamekit hissed in Silverkit's ears. Silverkit growled to show she agreed. As she approached Morningpelt she could feel Smokepaw's burning gaze resting on her body. Feeling a bit uncomfortable, she was glad when Streamkit came and curled up next to her.
She yawned.
"I think Smokekit is the hottest kit, don't you agree Silverkit?" She said sleepily.
Silverkit didn't reply. She was thinking about something else. About Blackwing.
Silverkit woke up. Wolfstar was yowling for a clan meeting.
ReplyDelete"Can I go Morningpelt?" Silverkit said.
"Are you old enough to catch your own prey?" She asked.
"Yes..." muttered Silverkit beneath her breath. She and Flamekit pushed their way out of Morningpelt's claws and sat in the back of the clan where Smokekit and Blackkit were sitting in the front.
"From this day, Smokekit shall be known as Smokepaw. His mentor shall be Blackbranch! Blackkit shall be Blackpaw and his mentor shall be Oceanmist." Announced Wolfstar.
"SMOKEPAW! BLACKPAW!" Chanted the clan.
Silverkit didn't join them. She was watching Smokepaw, and their eyes met for a few seconds before he was crowded by friends congratulating him.
"Boy I can't wait till that's us." Flamekit said. Silverkit tipped her tail in agreement. She couldn't wait to be the best warrior in the clan.
"SILVERKIT!!! GET BACK HERE!!" Yowled Griffenclaw. He dragged Flamekit in front of Wolfstar.
"Wolfstar, these two were caught sneaking outside of camp." He hissed.
Silverkit narrowed her eyes to challenge Wolfstar while Flamekit looked down in shame.
"I caught a mouse!" She said proudly.
"IGNORANT KIT!" Snarled Wolfstar. "JUST like your mother." She spat.
Silverkit's fur bristled. Just like her mother! How dare Wolfstar say that about her mother!!!
"Waveclaw was the best warrior in Hiddenclan- and you know it!! I'll be JUST like her!!!!!"
"Silence!!" Snapped Dragonwing, coming down. "Don't speak to your leader like that!!"
"No- it's fine. Let the little ones speak their mind." Chuckled Wolfstar. She yawned. "Silverkit and Flamekit will be assigned to clean out the elder's bedding for the next moon."
"YAY!" Cheered Blackpaw. "No more work for us!!"
Silverkit noticed Smokepaw didn't say anything beside his brother- only stared at her. She hissed in annoyance and she and Flamekit went back to the nursery den.
(Okay I'm going to post more because I feel like it...)
ReplyDelete"Life as a kit sucks." Silverkit snorted to Streamkit. Streamkit growled in agreement.
"You only say that because you can't play with Smokepaw anymore." Said Silverkit, half to herself. She saw Flamekit on the other side of the nursery den cleaning out Skywhisker's bedding. She sighed and went outside.
'I'll get some fresh water for the elders.' she decided. Taking some moss, she started to go outside.
"Wait! Silverkit!"
Silverkit spun around, bracing herself for a stupid warrior, but it was Smokepaw.
"Yes? Smokepaw?" She asked cautiously.
"You know kits aren't allowed out of camps, but your duty is to the elders. Getting moss is a good idea. I'll come with you."
Silverkit was about to argue against him but a voice sounded,
"Good idea Smokepaw. Nice thinking." Blackbranch said. Silverkit sighed.
She and Smokepaw paced out of camp until they reached a shady place of the forest covered in moss.
"So... your friend Streamkit is nice." He commented slowly.
Silverkit raised her eyebrow. (if they have them) "She's crazy over you and you know it." She said blandly.
Smokepaw couldn't help but smile at her. "Yep. I'm just that way...attractive to she-cats. Streamkit herself isn't that bad-looking, but you're prettier."
Silverkit twitched her ear. Was that supposed to mean something? Uncomfortable, she took a heap of moss and was about to leave when Smokepaw suddenly stopped.
"Shh!" He hissed. "A Silentclan patrol is on their way to Hiddenclan!!"
Silverkit crouched over Smokepaw and saw a patrol of 4 cats cross over the river.
ReplyDelete"It's not a battle patrol." Silverkit observed silently. "Good. They must just want to talk."
"Yes, but talk about what?" Snarled Smokepaw. "There's nothing TO talk about! If it's territory, Silentclan has the most territory of us all!"
"Come on- let's get back to camp." Silverkit said, a weird feeling rumbling in her belly.
Smokepaw and Silverkit pelted side by side into Hiddenclan and yowled, "Secretclan!!"
Instantly, warriors sprung out of their den, hackles raised.
"Dont' worry, it's not a battle patrol." Silverkit reminded Smokepaw. Wolfstar came out of her den.
"Still- prepare for battle." She said. Warriors disappeared into the thrushes above the clan. Silverkit felt excitement tingling in her pelt. Flamekit raced over.
"Silverkit! What's going on??" He asked.
Streamkit, Hawkkit, and Skykit were right behind him as they skidded to a halt right after Flamekit. Silverkit narrowed her eyes and watched the entrance as the 4 cats from Silentclan entered Hiddenclan.
Silverit's perspective;
ReplyDeleteI felt a shivering pelt meet mine. Streamkit. What was she nervous about?
"What's wrong Streamkit??" I asked.
"That's- that's- Darkpaw!"
I narrowed my eyes. "What's... wrong with Darkpaw??" I asked.
Streampaw breathed out loud, "he's SO........ hand...some..."
I was alarmed. Streakit, of course, falling for any handsome cat. WHy didn't she fall for her own brothers? I snorted to myself.
"Streamkit you can't mate with another cat from a different clan!!" I urgently whispered.
"What are you she-cats talking about?" Flamekit walked up to us.
"nothing" I snapped. Offended, he walked away to Hawkkit and I immediately wished I hadn't been so mean to my friend. I saw Wolfstar talk with Dragonwing and the 4 Silentclan cats. THe other warriors murmured in apprehension. I shivered.
Then, Wolfstar went onto the high stone.
"HIDDENCLAN! GATHER HERE... Silentclan and I, along with Dragonwing, have made a life-changing decision. Silentclan and Hiddenclan will start an alliance!"
That wasn't so life-changing... I thought. There had to be something else.
The warriors yowled in approval. Alliances were always good. But why a sudden alliance?
"But! There is a price to pay. As an alliance, we must support each other and Silentclan is low on cats. We will send some cats over there to live and help for 7 moons."
Silence.
Then, outrage. Warriors were yowling everywhere, howling, "WE'VE NEVER SENT CATS OVER TO OTHER CLANS!" "NO! NEVER!! HIDDENCLAN CATS ARE HIDDENCLAN CATS!"
Silverkit felt stunned. No! None of the cats could leave! Not Flamekit- not streamkit- none of her friends! Not Skywhisker- or Dawnlight! No!!
Wolfstar growled and the clan fell silent.
"We have chosen 4 cats to go with them. Runningheart- Blackbranch- Flamekit and Silverkit."
I felt dazed. What? I was chosen to go? What?
"No!" Streamkit yowled, flinging herself onto Silverkit. "NO! I won't let you take her!! I'll go in her stead... at least then I can actually live with Darkpaw."
ReplyDeleteSilverkit felt a sting of hurt in her.Streamkit only wanted to go for Darkpaw- not for friendship. She turned and saw Flamekit's worry expression too as he clung to Hawkkit.
Wolfstar's eyes clouded. "Say your farewells. We shall meet in 7 moons."
'7 moons!' Silverkit thought, her heart breaking. Her family! Separated from her. She ran blindly to Whitecloud and sobbed aloud to him.
"Silverkit... be strong." He said, muffled in pain. Silverkit felt her crystal heart shattering as she saw Smokepaw staring at her, his eyes also clouded. Silverkit did not feel annoyance, but sorrow. He actually cared for her. She started to walk towards him. They met each other's eyes.
"Silverkit-"
"Smokepaw-"
They started at the same time. They both stopped.
"Smokepaw I just wanted to tell you, you're going to be a great warrior. And when I return hopefully you'll still remember me." She said, almost in a whisper.
"Silverkit I wanted to tell you you're a beautiful, strong, she-cat, and I'm sure you'll do fine in Silentclan. I'm sure your mom would be proud of you and will you to continue." Smokepaw started.
Silverkit felt her heart thumping. Her mom. Was Waveclaw watching her now?
"Uh... I hope you remember me when you come back. Don't get too friendly with any of those Silentclan cats." Smokepaw joked and Silverkit had to give a smile.
"Well... goodbye." Silverkit said.
"Goodbye. 7 moons." Smokepaw said.
"7 moons." Agreed Silverkit. And without a word she bounded with Flamekit, Blackbranch and Runningheart to the Silentclan cats.
"Greetings young ones." Said Tigerwhisker to Flamekit and Silverkit. "I am Tigerwhisker, the deputy of Silentclan."
"And Silverstar your leader." Silverkit echoed, recalling Skywhisker's retelling of the gathering.
"She shares the first part of your name." Flamekit whispered. Silverkit paused. Would she be Silverstar one day?
"I heard Silverstar is ill. How is she managing?" Runningheart asked Redtail, the second she-cat.
"You can see once you come back to our camp. Since we are allies, there are no secrets. You are a part of our clan now." She answered.
'I am a part of Silentclan?' Silverkit told herself. 'Never! I am ALWAYS a part of Hiddenclan! No cat can ever take that away from me!!'
Silverkit followed Tigerwhisker's footsteps slowly, pausing now and then to look back and see Smokepaw's face in the shadows. She missed her camp now more then ever.
ReplyDelete"It's okay. You have me." Flamekit said, sensing Silverkit's dismay. She smiled weakly and pressed her fur into her friend. Runningheart and Blackbranch brought up the rear, Blackbranch talking to Redtail and Runningheart talking with Rainfur.
Tigerwhisker moved aside some brushes and they entered Silentclan. Silverkit observed it was very well hidden and very quiet- only the sound of cat's paws skittering up rocks was heard.
"Silverstar! We have brought our alliances here."
Silverkit saw a gray cat swim out. Silverkit, unlike Silverstar, had fiery orange eyes while Silverstar had blue eyes. She was beautiful!

(That is Silverkit, ignore the comment earlier on about having Whitecloud's white pelt)
Silverstar saw Flamekit and instantly her eyes went wild.
"You! What's your name?" She asked.
"Flamekit." He replied quietly.
"We have some kits to keep you company."
She turned to Silverkit. "And you?"
"Silverkit." She said clearly.
Silverstar pricked her ears up at her name. "A kit? You seem old enough to be an apprentice."
"Back in Hiddenclan we would have become apprentices in just a couple of sunhighs."
"You will be an apprentice tomorrow, along with FLamekit. The Apprentices will be looking for friends. We only have a brother and sister." Silverstar said.
Silverkit looked across to two cats who seemed to be apprentices. The brother looked at her with sudden interest and she saw the she cat stare at Flamekit.
'UGH.' She thought. 'They're thinking about us as mates. Are you kidding? I'm Hiddenclan at heart.'
