Archwing's Forbidden Love

Drabble Challenge for the Descendants of the Clouds forum

"Let us begin," meowed Sweetstar, our leader of ThunderClan, in her gentle and soothing voice. "WindClan is doing well this greenleaf," stated Moorstar, his gaze sweeping through the crowd of cats in the clearing. "The rabbits have been plenty this season and we have two new kits joining us in our CLan, Wheatkit and Breezekit!" A chorus of congratulations ensued. I listened intently. This is my first Gathering as the new warrior, Archwing and I was so proud. I will be the best ThunderClan has ever seen! Suddenly, something distracted me. Out of the corner of my eye, I notice a sleek, dark-furred she-cat with bewitching amber eyes. She had a slender body and gentle-shaped head. My heart pounded. My paws started to get sweaty. Heat crept into my cheeks and I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I just couldn't stop staring at her. She was the most beautiful cat I have ever seen. I knew I was in love. So why couldn't I just go up to her and talk? We could start a friendship together, and then that friendship could evolve into something more...

But there was one more thing I was missing.

She was from ShadowClan.

The End
