Okay so this is a love story between (my character) Scarletpelt, Blackstar, and Thornclaw. This is my first story, so please give me your opinion! By the way, this takes place between The Darkest Hour (last book of original arc) and Midnight (first book of The New Prophecy)
A Love like No Other
Chapter 1
Scarletpelt's POV
I was walking through the forest, hunting. I had a special spot for hunting, along the ShadowClan border. I tasted the air and, of course, immediately scented mouse. I got into a hunting crouch and followed the scent through the undergrowth. Then the small, brown creature came into view. It was standing upon a root of an oak tree. I crept up on it and pounced. I killed it in one swift blow of my claw.
ThunderClan was doing very well, considering it was green-leaf, there was an excellent abundance of prey, the Clans were at peace, and Willowpelt, Sandstorm, and Brightheart had all had kits in the past few moons. Yes, this was a great time for ThunderClan.
"Hey, Scarletpelt! Nice catch!" exclaimed a voice from behind. I jumped and swung my head around only to find Thornclaw standing there. I relaxed again and mewed, "Oh, hello Thornclaw! Thanks!" Thornclaw's golden brown pelt gleamed in the sunlight, making him even more handsome. I lost myself in his beautiful, swirling, bright green eyes. Yes, I had a crush on him, and yes, he had a crush on me. Ever since Dustpelt found me in the woods when I was a newborn kit, I had been best friends with Thornclaw.
Oh, there's another thing I should probably explain. When I was a newborn kit, my mother took me into the forest. She was a rogue, and I was her only kit. She unfortunately ran into a fox. She killed the fox, but bled to death. Dustpelt and a patrol found me and my mom's body. ThunderClan took me in and I was raised by Goldenflower, with her kits Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt. Tawnypelt unfortunately left ThunderClan to join ShadowClan, where her father was the leader, because cats in ThunderClan judged her for her father's actions.
If you're wondering what I look like, I'm a black cat with ice blue eyes and my front right paw is white. I have longer, sharper claws than most other cats, which is why I was surprised when Firestar gave me the warrior name of Scarletpelt, and not Scarletclaw. Anyways, back to the story.
Thornclaw and I stood in silence for a few heartbeats, just staring at each other. I was the first to regain myself. I looked away, my tips of my ears burning with embarrassment. "Well, um, I'd better get back to camp" I mewed, grabbing the mouse and turning towards camp. Thornclaw walked back with me, our pelts brushing. "So, did you hear Ferncloud just moved into the nursery?" he asked. "No! Oh my StarClan, Dustpelt must be so happy!" I exclaimed. He purred in agreement and we walked the rest of the way in silence. I kind of like how we do that. There's nothing but the two of us walking on, our pelts brushing, like nothing in the world could ever stop us. And I like it. I like it a lot.
