Hi! This is actually my second attempt at writing this fanfic, cos my first attempt was kinda bad. Anyway, I hope you like it!
The night sky gleamed with stars, Moonlight streamed through the pines and outlined the dark tom striding between the trees. His blazing blue eyes flashed as his gaze flicked from shadow to shadow, watching for unwanted attention. The sound of rushing water reached his ears and he paused momentarily. he shook himself and paddded on, faster then before. through the trees he saw a wide stream, trickiling merrily into the distance. his dark pelt rippled as he bunched his muscles and launched himself across the stream. his paws had barley touched the ground before he raced forward. he leaped over a fallen tree, and swerved out of the path of a wide pine, straining for greater speed, before finaly comeing to a stop in a small clearing. in the middle, a huge oak sat, pround and solid. he stood, just inside the shadows cast by the trees, as though afraid to move towards the oak. he took a shuddering breath and stepped forward. he padded up to the oak, and sat down at its roots. he looked up at the tree, and his eyes burned with grief.
"it didnt have too happen." he mewed softly, to himself. "she didnt have too die."
he sat, quite still, as he continued to stare at the oak.
a sharp Snap! broke the silence, as a younger, whight tom padded into the clearing, accidentally stepping on a stick.
"Why did you ask to meet me here, Pinefoot?" the whight tom asked. the dark tom tilted his head, studying the younger cat, critically.
"good evening, Cloudclaw." he mewed, and turned back to the oak. Cloudclaw glared at him.
"what do you want?" he asked, again. Pinefoot ignored him.
"what is so important, you had to arange for a dark forest warrior to come into the heart of your teritory?" this made Pinefoot snarl.
"this is not my teritory,or my clan, not after what they did to Mintheart!" he hissed. Cloudclaw smirked, as though he enjoyed Pinefoot's reaction.
"well, what am i here for? you weren't very... informative when you asked to meet me." Pinefoot glared at him.
"He's very impatient, isn't he?" he murmured to himself, eyes fixed on a branch above his head. He shook himself and turned back to Cloudclaw.
"this tree was where they killed her." he mewed, bluntly. Cloudclaw's tail twitched.
"that explains everything." he mewed sarcastically. Pinefoot twitched as though he desired nothing more then to lunge at Cloudclaw.
"I want revenge for Mintheart's death," he hissed. "and I think you can help me." Cloudclaw narrowed his eyes.
"whats in it for me?" he mewed. Pinefoot snorted, as though Cloudclaw had asked something obvious.
"You also want revenge...On the clans, on starclan, on the warrior code. And I know exactly how to get it, but I need your help."
"I'm listening..." Pinefoot shook his head. "not here, mouse brain, we could be overheard."
"I need to know your plan before i make any promises." Cloudclaw mewed, firmly. Pinefoot growled.
"Fine. meet me at the edge of the dark forest, by the flat-rocks, at half-moon. I'll tell you then." Cloudclaw nodded, satisfied. Pinefoot up at the sky, surpressed anger and grief in his eyes. His gaze raked the sky, as though searching for one star amongst all the others. "You should go back to the dark forest, Cloudclaw." he mewed without taking his eyes of the stars. The whight tom flicked his tail, stood up and started to pad away, calling over his shoulder as he went;
"So long, Pinefoot. I'll see you in a quarter moon." and he was gone, leaving Pinefoot to stare quietly up at the star covered sky.
So, there it is... I hope you liked it! I'd love to hear what you guys thought of it, So please review! I need OC's for the other clans so if you have any suggestions, I'd like to hear them. Thank you for reading!
