CHER: Hello Fanficitoners! I've decided to FINALLY upload a new story, thanks to my awesome friend :3(HazelStar of LightingClan) All my other stories I felt like I had extreme writer's block. But I've taken a new outline for this story, so hopefully it will stay on!(I know I'm random) But this new story, called Shattered, is about true love, and what really true love is, and how to really present it. (DEEP :/) I hope u rly enjoy! I take constructive criticism, but please no hate. It hurts. Now, on to the 1st chapter!

The undergrowth swayed as a little mouse tiptoed out of its beech tree, its little brown paws scuffling the grasses. It sniffed with its tiny pink nose at a nearby beech nut. It pricked its little ears up. No noise. Just silence. It must have thought it was safe as its tiny paws grasped the nut. But, therefore, it was wrong. Before it could take a little nibble at the golden-brown piece of food, it let out a small squeak of despair as fangs crunched its backbone, snapping it neatly in half.

Iceflank smirked in satisfaction at the piece of freshkill lying at his paws. It was a neat catch, a perfect bite at its neckline. The tom picked up his catch, hanging limp as a feather in his jaws, and continued into the forest, his fluffy white tail flicking once before vanishing.

That mouse is nearly the size of a kit! It should feed the clan nicely, Iceflank thought, smirking with delight.

They will have to notice that by now, He wondered again.

"Not so fast; were are you going, mister?"

The voice was considerably sweet, but also full of confidence and intriguing question, although a slight bit of teasing. The tom's blue eyes widened as he turned around to the direction of the voice.

A she-cat was lightly padding toward him, her pretty calico fur shining in the cascading sunset that billowed through the ThunderClan trees. Her lime-green eyes searched within him as he adverted his eyes toward the piece of freshkill she was holding in her jaws. A very, very large rabbit!

"Aw, come on!" Iceflank dropped his prey and swiped the air with his paw, "I thought I was gonna win! That mouse is huge! "

The she-cat smirked. "My rabbit is noticeably larger than, you're… mouse." She mewed.

"Whatever. You were always the best hunter, Spottedstorm." Iceflank cuffed her ear playfully.

"Don't worry; Father will be proud of us all." Spottedstorm licked his flank. As the siblings walked back to camp, jaws full with fresh meat, Iceflank thought about was his sister had said. He will be proud of us all…if only… The white tom shivered, even though it was new leaf. If only our dear Father knew how I was breaking the code…I don't know…he'd kill me…

…

Moonlight shined through the warrior's den, onto the pelts of sleeping cats. All were sleeping; probably dreaming of biting into rabbits or chasing kittypets off their land.

All but one warrior was wide awake, staring directly into the moon's round face as it roused up into the starlight sky.

Nearly time…. Iceflank echoed as his fur tufted in anxiety. Mustn't be late! He thought as he glanced over at were his father was sleeping. The brown and white tom was in the center of the den; because he was a highly respected senior warrior; as what his mother said. He was fast asleep, his scarred ears twitching.

Thank StarClan. Iceflank quietly, without any sound, crept toward the entrance of the den, his tail swaying from side to side, almost stepping on a molly's ginger paw on the outskirts of the den. She snored and rolled over on her back. Iceflank took a deep breath and went through the dirtplace entrance. Careful not to show himself; as it was pretty hard with all the white fur to Pearstep, as he was guard tonight, he bounded into ThunderClan territory, straight toward the RiverClan border. Iceflank panted, worry showing in his eyes.

Am I too late? He wondered as he scanned the rivers beds, squinting to find any sort of lean silhouette.

At last, jumping from rock to rock on the river was the most beautiful she-cat he's ever seen, with gray tabby fur, a lean shape, and a pair of perfect amber eyes, the color of pure gold, shining in the moonlight. Her long cascading tail swayed from side to side for balance, her petite paws padding the stones in a delicate way, her ears pranced right before him.

Iceflank, fur relaxed; hopped out of the holly bush he was waiting in.

"Moonrush…" He purred, with longing in his voice.

"Iceflank…" Moonrushes' voice was like a sweet cardinal's.

He bounded toward her and wrapped his fluffy tail around her body, pulling her close. Moonrush purred and licked his cheek lovingly.

"You remembered to meet here at moon high! The last time I told you was last gathering…" Moonrush mewed. She looked up into his ice-blue eyes. "I've missed you…"

"I've missed you too." Iceflank looked down at her. "Everyday…I just think of you…and every day…I want to be with you. But…" He looked up at the stars. "How will StarClan accept our love?"

"They…they have to understand. Nothing can separate us." Moonrush snuggled closer into his fur.

Iceflank purred. Nothing will…ever…

Iceflank remembered the first time they met. It was at a gathering. At that time, RiverClan still needed ThunderClan's hunting grounds since their river dried up, so it wasn't that hard for Iceflank and Moonrush to talk to each other; it wasn't weird. They just kept talking to each other, and eventually RiverClan patrols on ThunderClan land were common.

Moonrush whispered, "Iceflank. I have to go now."

"What? Why? It's much earlier than before." Iceflank meowed.

"Blackwing's getting fussy with me. I don't want her to know."

"Alright, then. Let's meet up two moonrises from now."

"Alright." Moonrush licked his cheek and bounded away, calling, "Bye, darling." Her body disappeared into the RiverClan grasses.

I love you Moonrush. Iceflank, his snow-colored fur bristling in the breeze padded away into the darkness of ThunderClan territory.

Two lovers from different clans,

One will perish, one will cherish,

RiverClan's death is coming,

And so will all the clans.
