Prologue
"You're so slow!" Lepoardfur purred. Her amber eyes looked at the Thunderclan cat she had fallen in love with. It was against the Warrior Code to choose a mate in another clan but they didn't care. Especially Tigerclaw, since he hated the warrior code. Suprisingly, Tigerclaw felt the same way about the she-cat. He rubbed his tail along Leopardfur's pelt.
He murmured, "As long as I get to be here, you're all that I want." Leopardfur's eyes widened as the dark brown tabby looked at her. His gaze had a flicker of affection. Could Tigerclaw actually be like this? Or was he playing to get an alliance with her. The two deputies spent most of the night at Sunning Rocks. Of course it was very dangerous with all that hostility. But it was worth it.
"Leopardfur is kitting!" Echomist exclaimed. Brambleberry rushed to the nursery as Crookedstar waited outside. Leopardfur had mysteriously gotten pregnat. She refuses to say who the father is. Owlfur, Rippleclaw, Lilystem, and Silverpaw had come back from their hunting trip. Silverpaw had a gleam of exictment. "What's going on?" The silver-gray tabby padded over to her father.
Crookedstar said,"Leopardfur's kitting." A hint of excitement was in his tone. Echomist poked her head out. Her eyes were gleaming. "One she-cat." Crookedstar looked inside and looked at the new member of the clan.
The little she-cat was squirming to Leopardfur's belly as the new queen had a sad gaze. "She's beautiful" Crookedstar said softly. Leopardfur looked up. "What are you going to name her?" the leader asked. "I was thinking Honeykit." she replied.
Honeykit was white with patches of orange on her fur. She had amber eyes and little sharp claws. She looked a little bit like Tigerclaw...There was a lump in Crookedstar's throat. He knew that the little kit was also Tigerclaw's. "Please don't tell anyone." She whispered. Crookedstar nodded. The kit was just innocent, sweet. Just like her name says. But what evil can she bring?
