History: Silentshadow was born into the Tribe of Rushing Water and lived there happily for a long while; her given name was Silent Shadow of Night because she was a mysterious and intriguing she-cat. At the age of her 25th moon she was told by her father, a high placed tribe member, that she had to choose a mate. Water that Falls on Rocks, her father, had a particular liking towards a young tom named Brave Hunter of Prey and wished for the tom to join his family as his daughter's mate. Shadow of Night couldn't accept this; she didn't like the tom her father had picked for her, she preferred an older tom, Maze of Hidden Shadows. Silent Shadow of Night and Maze of Hidden Shadows decided to run away together to a better home, one where they where free to make decisions but also had the balance of a leader. As winter approached, the ledge of the cliffs became very icy and dangerous. Maze of Hidden Shadows was hunting and leapt at a bird that had been perched on a snow bank. Not being able to see that there was a hole in the cliff that the snow covered, the tom went straight down through and fell to the bottom, meeting an instant death. Silent Shadow of Night was horror struck. She wept for many days before continuing on, as her friend would have wanted her to. She arrived in ShadowClan a moon later, not able to travel anymore. The great leader Pinestar, who, unfortunately, having lost his last life defending his clan, died a few moons later, named her Silentshadow. This is where her story continues.

Before I get started: Greetings all, this will be my first fan fiction so please keep that in mind when giving me comments. I don't mean go easy on me necessarily, just remember I'm not a pro at this and constructive criticism would be great. So, please let me know what you think about the lay out of the story, the characters, how I could change certain things and if you feel I should keep going, though if you tell me to stop don't be offended if I don't listen to your advice concerning that matter. 

Also, it is rated M because this gives me the liberty/ possibility to take the story to where it should/could/would go. I understand that I can change the rating but it's just easier this way.

I have given you an outline on Silentshadow, for she will be the main character in my story, the two toms are important but their background is not. Also, please feel free to check back to this first page often because when new characters are introduced, I will post a bio on them so that everyone knows who's who.

Story Out line: Here's a brief out line of how I envision the story, though if people make comments and suggestions this is subject to change though it should be staying fairly close to the original background.

Silentshadow is still fairly new to Clan life. Though she trained for a few moons to learn their ways, some things for her are still uncommon. In the tribe, toms are normally higher ranked then she-cats and the equality shown by ShadowClan amazes her. She would never have thought that a she-cat could choose their mate for back at the TORW, it was the tom that got to pick his mate. If many males wanted the same mate, they'd fight for her. Oh yes life was different here though she was in no right mind to complain… until she met Banditshard and Hushedcry (later Hushedstar). Both toms are after her heart and it would be a lie if I said she didn't feel the same about both. The quest for her heart will lead to a dark, twisted side of love that Silentshadow never thought possible. It's now that the truth is separated from the lies, that things that where once beautiful become disfigured, that love and hate become one with each other. If Silentshadow survives the twisted truths of what love really is and it's power, will she ever want to be a part of the bigger picture?

Yup, I know a bunch of you are probably rolling your eyes saying "Well this is great, another mushy romance with a bit of gore. BORING we've heard it all before so save us the trouble Nocturnal!" Well be that as it may, it's not your every day romance. Who said I believe in happy endings? After all, how many love stories sound like that? To be honest I haven't really read one like it before. So please comment on the story line, whether you like it or don't. Thanks a ton guys, hope you have a good read!
