Alright! here we have the prologue for my new (and first) fanfic! I hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer : I don't own ANY of the characters except Acornshade! The characters belong to Erin Hunter.
Acornshade ran through the undergrowth, her mind reeling from the secret she had just learned. The leaves and twigs slapping against her flanks didn't interrupt her quick pace towards the lake. She paused as she found herself bathed in moonlight, looking straight out onto the shimmering lake; she sat down, breathing heavily, as she thought about what had happened, unaware of a cat slowly sneaking up behind her. She wanted to wail in anger and agony, up at the stars that seemed to taunt her, she wanted to claw and bite everything in her way, she wanted her sister to feel pain, the same pain she felt after the secret had been revealed.
"He's dead"Acornshade looked up - surprised - into the amber eyes of a dark tabby tom, and he continued, "He's dead because of her, he's dead. Because of her, three cats are kinless. Because of her, I- I am lost.". Acornshade blinked as tears filled her eyes, and she buried her head in his soft pelt, letting out a tortured wail. Instead of pulling away, the heartbroken tom curled around her and softly whispered "they had their secret, and we can have ours." She looked up at him hopefully and smiled, "There's no harm in that." she meowed, before curling up again, and - although unknown - making the biggest mistake of her life.
yeah, soooo, I hope you liked it! I known it's REALLY short, but it is just a prologue! so, yeah, you'll probably figure out who the tom was in the first chapter, if you haven't already!
