Change of heart
Chapter 1!
Dovewings POV
No. Firestar is dead. Dovewing replayed the terrible scene that had killed her leader over and over in her head. She couldn't help but remember it so vividly. And now a whole moon had passed and Bramblestar had gotten his nine lives. Today was the day of the gathering. "Bramblestar, Squirrelflight!" The other clans as well as Thunderclan called out the new leader and deputy's name.
"Thank you." Bramblestar gave his chest fur a couple of embarrassed licks before sitting down again. "And now it is time to share tongues." declared Blackstar. Dovewing knew exactly who she wanted to see. An image of him flashed in her mind. His dark brown tabby pelt. His glowing amber eyes. His loving handsome face...
"Dovewing?" Ivypool was staring at Dovewing strangely. "Aren't you going to share tongues with anyone from the other clans?" she asked. Dovewing was about to reply when Bumblestripe walked up to them and gave Ivypool's head an affectionate lick. Ever since Dovewing had told him that she didn't like him the way he liked her, he had taken on Ivypool as a mate instead.
"Hi Bumblestripe!" she greeted him. Then she saw a dark brown tabby tail out of the corner of her eye. "Um, I think I just saw something over there. Bye!" She ran over to the place where she saw Tigerheart, but he wasn't there. Trying to hide her disappointment from a Riverclan elder who was staring at her suspiciously, she padded away.
"Dovewing!" she whipped around. Tigerheart! Her heart filled with joy at the sight of him. He beckoned for her to come forward with his tail, and she followed him behind a bush. "I've missed you!" Dovewing purred as soon as they were out of earshot. "I've missed you too." replied Tigerheart, rubbing his head against hers.
"And now it is time to go back to our own clans!" announced Mistystar. Tigerheart and Dovewing jumped out from behind the bush and started to make their way back to their own separate clans. But instead of going to Shadowclan, he made his way to the big tree where the leader's stood to make their announcements.
"I have something to say!" he called out. All the clan's turned around shocked. "Tigerheart, what in Starclan's name are you doing?"Shouted Blackstar, clearly as confused as Dovewing was. "I wish to speak before we leave." Tigerheart said. All the leaders looked at each other with confused glances before Blackstar finally said, "Very well."
Tigerheart dipped his head to his leader before speaking. "I wish to live in Thunderclan!" he announced. The whole island turned silent before every cat started asking questions. "Tigerheart, what is going on here?" asked Bramblestar and Blackstar together, clearly as confused as each other.
"If you would let me Bramblestar, I wish to join your clan." Dovewing froze to the spot. She must be dreaming. But everything was real enough...
"But why?!" questioned Blackstar, a look of pure confusion spread across his face. "Because I am in love with a Thunderclan cat." A Windclan warrior piped up. "Who?" she asked. "Dovewing." My heart stopped beating and all I saw was Tigerheart rushing towards me as I blacked out.
