Chapter 1: Silentflame's Lovers

Crimsonshade watched her sisters, Dancingfire, Settingsun, and Goldenpetal, pad out of the warriors den, chattering like starlings and watching her two best friends, Risingmoon and Silveroak. They had been shipped together by those three for like, two moons now.

Flameripple hurried over to join them. The pale brown tabby had been made a warrior early because she had been popular with even the warriors, especially her mentor.

Finchpaw, her brother, had been left behind with the rude, defiant posse of Applepaw, Aspenpaw, Larkpaw, and Maplepaw. Crimsonshade felt kind of bad for him, but would always find time to talk with Finchpaw.

Soon Silentflame came back from his patrol, carrying a lizard. In a blur of ginger fur, Crimsonshade's sisters were there, flirting and congratulating him. Flameripple carried his lizard to the pile of prey for him, and Settingsun began explaining what had gone on in camp while he had been gone.

She almost felt bad for him, but she also felt something else for him. Some stirring in her heart that she knew would never be satisfied. Suddenly Frostedpool padded up to her, waving his tail in greeting.

He was the fourth of their gang. Silveroak, Risingmoon, Crimsonshade, and Frostedpool were always hanging out together, although the group had split slightly after RisingOak became the ship of the season.

"Hello? Hello? Earth to Crimsonshade!" Frostedpool mewed cheerfully, "Geez, Crimsonshade! It's like you've gone moony over Silentflame like all those other she-cats!" He joked.

She snorted in laughter at his expression. He could always make her laugh, even when he said things that weren't exactly joking matters in Crimsonshade's mind.

She slapped him with her tail playfully.

"No way! He's already got enough she-cats leaping around his paws!" She mewed.

He purred, cuffing her over the ears. "Hey! You have a strong tail!" He mewed jokingly.

"Don't cuff me! I'll get you for that!" She leaped on him and they tussled on the ground like kits for a moment.

"Did you hear about what happened with Silveroak and Risingmoon?" He asked, excitement to tell her in his eyes.

"Gossip never helped anyone, Frostedpool." She mewed briskly, not liking to talk about cats behind their backs. Her sisters did enough for the whole clan.

"Hey, just because you don't hear the latest gossip doesn't mean you aren't an amazing cat, Crimsonshade!" He mewed, noticing her sharpness.

He shifted closer, wrapping his tail around her shoulders.

Oh Starclan.. She thought, her heart racing. If my sisters see this, it'll be around camp for ages!

She went to shift away, but Flameripple noticed her first. There was a hushed whisper with her sisters before they all whirled around and began chattering excitedly.

She ripped herself away from Frostedpool, giving him an apologetic glance and realizing the gossip was all around camp by now.

Suddenly Finchpaw ran up to her.

"Crimsonshade! I heard you and Frostedpool were mates!"

Frostedpool was nowhere to be seen.
