Prologue
The moon sat gazing down on the scene below as it watched a lithe she-cat creep onto the island and into the shadows, quietly sitting down to wait, with her thin tail tucked delicately over her paws.
She sat and contemplated over what her life had become in the last moon. First off- the nerve of that Riverclan tom! How dare he take advantage of her! She pawed at the ground in frustration.
All she could hope for was that the kits were her mate's. Even then though, it'd be breaking the warrior code, considering that he was a Thunderclan tom.
How dare she go behind her clanmate's backs like this? She's a failure, a disgrace!
It didn't help that he already had a mate. One that was expecting his kits too!
The mysterious she-cat sighed. Leave it to her, the role model of her clan, and the idol of the apprentices, to screw everything up.
Is this the future Starclan gave me? She wondered, gazing up at the sky.
At that moment, the bushes rustled, and a tom prowled out, tail raised proudly into the air.
"Spottedtalon, is everything all right?" His concerned voice rang out.
"No, everything's not alright, my love. Please don't be angry with me when I tell you this…" Spottedtalon murmured quietly.
"What is it?" He inquired as he sat down next to her, twining his tail with hers.
"I- I'm with kit. Not only that, but some might not be yours. I'm sorry, but some Riverclan tom…" She bowed her head shamefully at this. Her mate straightened up.
"Spottedtalon, it's okay! We'll get through this! I'll somehow get my clan to go along with this! You can come join us!" He cried out, growing more and more excited as he spoke.
"But what about her?" She mewed quietly, almost inaudible.
"I- Spottedtalon- I love you, I do, but I can't leave her."
"Very well. I will join Thunderclan, but we will no longer be mates. I will only join so that our kits can have a father. Nothing else," She mewed stonily, watching silently as her mate's gaze clouded with sadness.
"Okay my lo- Spottedtalon. We'll figure something out," He sighed, wrenching his gaze from the beautiful she-cat's face. "B-but, can we still be friends?" He tried, smiling sadly.
Her whiskers twitched, and a small, yet wan smile filled her face.
"Perhaps."
The tom finally stood, and stepped out into the moonlight, revealing himself to be…
A/N: Urgh, I hate writing drama, but it was necessary for this story. Anyway, I had loads of fun creating the names and descriptions of the clan cats! Especially Grumblebelly and Lifepaw.
This takes place at the lake, but it is many years since The Last Hope left off, so some things will look very different.
Another thing, this story has art by me to go with it, so find my Deviantart to get a better look at my characters. (AzureDragonNeko)
Please review! It would be very much appreciated… o3o
