Never in a million years did I think I'd write this XD I never thought I would, but… I am XD So here you go, for those who like the pairing Cinderheart x Hollyleaf, I hope it's not too terrible XD As some of you have asked, I have written this, so enjoy! :D
Hollyleaf no! Don't Do it!
Leaves of Holly drowned in thunder and swept away by the wind will resurface through a cinders heart and live to bring peace to the united lake in a time of great darkness brought on by a forest.
Cinderheart's sleek silver body flashed in the moonlight as the tabby streaked through the forest, her paws drumming against the forest floor. Blood raced through her ears as her claws left gouges in the earth in her haste to catch up to the tri-colored pelts running in front of her. I have to go faster! She panicked, raindrops stung her blue eyes as Cinderheart lept over a fallen log, "Hollyleaf! Stop!"
She could see the tussle of black fur and golden fur far up ahead and saw Lionblaze get thrown into the air and Jayfeather get slashed across the face, Hollyleaf's striking green eyes were glinting with an emotion Cinderheart had only seen one other time, and that was after the daylight gathering and when her brother nearly died. Panic and terror filled the black she cat's eyes.
"Hollyleaf listen to me!"
Hollyleaf whirled around from her recoiling blind brother to see a lithe tabby shape leaping over her brother, it's light gray coat catching the moonlight and turning a beautiful silver. Hollyleaf watched in shock as the cat she now recognized as Cinderheart flew over her head and skidded on the leaf mulch on the ground behind her, sending up a spray of fallen leaves and undergrowth. Cinderheart stood in a half crouch, her body held in a tensed position like she was going to pounce on Hollyleaf is she tried to escape her. "Cinderheart?" Hollyleaf breathed, confused at why the she-cat she knew so well had chased after her and her brothers, she was half clan, shouldn't she hate her?
"Will you wait for five seconds?!" Cinderheart snarled, her usually gentle blue eyes were lit with a fierce and determined fire that usually only showed during battles. "What are you thinking?!" She growled, prowling closer to the black she-cat, her tail rustled the undergrowth as she lashed it in anger, she was somewhat trembling, from running too hard or anger Hollyleaf couldn't tell. "Running off like that? You could've died Hollyleaf!"
"Cinderheart stop-" Lionblaze interrupted and broke off at her deadly glare before he fell silent, sensing that it was better for his safety if he stayed out of it.
Hollyleaf backed up as Cinderheart's glare was turned on her, "I'm half clan Cinderheart! I'm not ThunderClan!"
Cinderheart's blue eyes softened and she straightened up, losing her angry look and instead adopting a more gentle one. "So? I bet somewhere down the line I'm not full ThunderClan either," she padded a few pawsteps closer, "Blood doesn't matter, you're as brave as a ThunderClan warrior can possibly be Hollyleaf, no cat can ask for a better Thunderclan warrior than you."
Holly flattened her ears and shook her head, "I can't be half clan Cinderheart! I can't be!"
Cinderheart moved closer, her pawsteps silent on the wet undergrowth from the falling rain. "Hollyleaf, blood doesn't matter," she mewed softly, "I don't care if you're half WindClan. You could be full ShadowClan and I wouldn't care."
Hollyleaf trembled, standing at the edge of the rabbit burrow, her tail twitching uneasily. "How?"
Cinderheart blinked, seeming to not realized that she said that and she was silent for a moment, thinking of a reply.
Out of the corner of her eye Hollyleaf could see Lionblaze and Jayfeather huddling together a few foxtails away, watching nervously.
"Hollyleaf," Cinderheart drew her attention back to her and Holly was startled to find the she-cat almost nose to nose with her. "We all love you, you're important to everyone in the Clan." Hollyleaf's green eyes widened as Cinderheart rubbed her cheek against hers, her blue eyes were fixed on Hollyleaf's green ones, Holly could see the small areas of silver in her iris that made the tabby's eyes like a sapphire, and she didn't move. "Your brothers want you here, they love you Hollyleaf," Cinderheart's ears twitched a little uneasily as if she was about to admit something she didn't want to admit to the two toms as well as Hollyleaf.
Hollyleaf drew back, leaning away from the soft fur on Cinderheart's cheek. "What?" She said, flattening her ears as Cinderheart hesitated. She backed away a little again, unsure about her friend being truthful.
"I," Cinderheart paused, casting a nervous glance at Lionblaze and Jayfeather.
"Why do you care?!" Hollyleaf wailed and took another pawstep back. Suddenly with a yelp, the ground beneath her back paws crumbled. "Ah!"
"Hollyleaf!" Cinderheart lunged, she sank her teeth into Hollyleaf's scruff, getting a good grip on the now dangling she-cat. "I gotcha," she mewed through the thick fur in her mouth.
Holly stared at her, her body lightly swinging in the air.
For a few moments, the pair of she-cats just stared at each other before Cinderheart sunk her claws into the ground and heaved, pulling Hollyleaf up onto more sturdy ground where she stumbled back slightly and sank to her stomach, panting.
Holly sat up, staring at her.
Cinderheart heaved her body into a sitting position her blue eyes scared but determined, "I l-love you," she mewed through her semi heavy breathing and small stutter, her ears flattening as she waited for a response, "that's why."
Hollyleaf stared at her, her green eyes wide with surprise.
Cinderheart shook out her pelt and got to her paws, taking Hollyleaf's silence as a rejection. "Let's go back to camp, everyone's probably wondering where we all are." She addressed Lionblaze and Jayfeather, "come on, let's go."
Hollyleaf stood still like a statue, still staring at Cinderheart.
"Course," Lionblaze mewed after a moment of silence and he nudged his brother toward the direction of camp. "Let's go-"
"Stop staring at me!" Cinderheart abruptly snapped, her blue gaze was directed toward Jayfeather, the fur around her neck was beginning to fluff up, and her tail was lashing angrily, "I love Hollyleaf, fine! So stop staring at me Jayfeather!"
Jayfeather turned his blind gaze away from Cinderheart, a mystified look on his face as he led the way back to camp.
Hollyleaf trailed behind Cinderheart, her green gaze fixated on the ground.
Cinderheart was angry and hurt, Hollyleaf didn't feel the same way, Jayfeather had told her to tell her in the first place and now she had been rejected, and she felt more alone than ever. Lionblaze's fur lightly brushed hers in a comforting way as the golden tom looked sympathetically at her, "don't worry," he mewed quietly, "it'll be okay."
Cinderheart flattened her ears, feeling tears prick at the corners of her eyes, "I'm fine." She mumbled to the tom who viewed her like his sister, "I'm fine." She couldn't tell if she was reassuring herself or the tom.
Lionblaze nodded and comfortingly ran his tail along her spine, "I know you will be."
"Cinderheart?" Hollyleaf's voice was timid and quiet.
"Yes Hollyleaf?" Cinderheart replied, her tone was flat and drained, "what is it?"
"C-can I talk to you?" Hollyleaf asked she had stopped a few foxtails behind them.
Lionblaze nudged her shoulder, his amber eyes concerned, "go on, I'll wait outside camp for you."
Cinderheart nodded and dropped back, before she turned and padded over to Hollyleaf, her blue eyes blank and guarded. "What."
Hollyleaf flinched and she flattened her ears, "I'm sorry-"
"Spit it out," Cinderheart mewed quietly, "you can't do anything else to make me feel any worse than I already do."
Hollyleaf winced, "I didn't mean to hurt you," she mewed softly, "I couldn't say anything."
Cinderheart felt another stab of pain in her heart, "I know. It's okay, I'll be fine-"
"Just listen for a minute," Hollyleaf interrupted her, "I wanted to say something before but I couldn't, I was just surprised okay?!"
Cinderheart didn't say a word, staying silent like her friend asked her to.
"I wanted to say it too okay?" Hollyleaf mewed quietly and in a rush, she spoke the next words. "I love you too, okay?"
Cinderheart blinked and her blue eyes lit up, her tail twitching happily and from excitement. "Really?" She breathed, her blue eyes hopeful and shocked.
Hollyleaf's whiskers twitched with amusement, "yes, really."
Cinderheart bowled Hollyleaf onto her back, a purr rumbling through her body as she pressed her head to Hollyleaf's chest, purring loudly.
Well that was interesting… XD I do kinda like it though, they are pretty cute even if it's not like one of my normal couples. (it's a little strange because I've only written straight couples before, but I like the one shot, it's cool ^-^ This one will have an accompaniment one, that one will have them as humans (Cynthia x Holly) so that'll be interesting as well ^-^
