Swiftfall snuck through the dense pine trees, trying despretly not to be seen. Of course, it was hard considering that her Clan was at war with ShadowClan. A distant cry of pain resonaded through the air. The grey and white she-cat flinched, blue eyes flashing fearfully.
"Don't worry." A voice whispered in her ear. She spun around, back arched. But seeing the black tom staring kindly at her she relaxed. "Nightpelt." She sighed. Instantly, Swiftfall pressed against the cat she loved.
"I thought I would never find you." The ThunderClan she-cat mewed. She purred and twined her tail with Nightpelt's.
The black tom turned his head and gazed worridly into his mate's eyes. "What are you doing here? It's dangerous."
Swiftfall sighed. "The truth is: I'm scared. Otterstar is forcing every cat to battle train constantly. We barely have time to eat, and every cat is forbidden to go out alone."
"You can always come to ShadowClan."Nightpelt suggested gently.
"No. I can't." Swiftfall shook her head. "I can't leave my sister there."
The tom grunted in acknoledgment. "I understand."
They both sat there for a while, pressed against eachother, tails entwined. Swiftfall had learned to relish these small moments together, because soon they would be impossible.
"Look. I have to go." Swiftfall meowed. "Astralfall will be wondering where I am."
The black tom nodded sadly. "Ok. Meet me at Four Trees at Half Moon."
"Absoloutly."
The two cats parted, both wishing they could escape their twisted lives and be together.
(LINE BREAK)
"Nightpelt!"
"Swiftfall!"
Two cats sprinted into a large clearing, trees surrounding it. The ThunderClan she-cat pressed her muzzle against Nightpelt's side.
"I've missed you so much." Swiftfall purred.
"Me too." Nightpelt mewed back.
"Look, I have to tell you something." Swiftfall mewoed. She paused for a mew moments. "I'm having kits."
