A/N: Hello! I have decided to write a Warriors story after all. This will be TigerheartxDovewing. I love them together! Hope you all enjoy the prologue. Please review telling me how it was. :)
The wind was rustling the leaves as the echoing sounds drowned out the cats' mews. The two young warriors were feeling guilty, knowing that their love for each other was strong enough for them to break the loyalty to their clans and the warrior code. For the last two moons, both Dovewing and Tigerheart were meeting each other, in secret, fearing what would happen if their clans had found out. A relationship between clans had never ended up good, especially if it was ShadowClan and ThunderClan.
Every night, Dovewing had snuck out of her den, and silently leaped to the half-bridge, meeting Tigerheart at moon high. For Dovewing, going out every night was a risk. There were cats patrolling near every boarder, in fear that other clans would resort to stealing prey from ThunderClan.
Doving silently stood up, being careful to not step on a clanmates tail or paws. Tonight was a special night. Tigerheart had told her that today he would have a special surprise for her. 'I wonder what it is.' Dovewing wondered. Suddenly a quiet mew from above her reached her sensitive hearing. "What are you doing out here Dovewing?" Dovewing could tell who it was without looking up at the tree. It was Ivypool.
Quickly, Dovewing thought of an excuse. She would need to hurry, or miss moon high, especially when Tigerheart had told her to be a little early. "I was going to use the dirt place, why are you up?" Dovewing asked back, her voice as accusing as possible.
"I couldn't sleep. I was thinking about the impending battle with the DarkForest cats. I'm worried. What if they are stronger? If the clans won't work together, not a single clan will survive! We need to cooperate, or the fate of all the clans will get destroyed!" Ivypool frantically exclaimed. Dovewing could clearly hear the panic in her sister's mew. She wanted to climb up the tree and comfort her that everything would be okay, but she couldn't, she needed to go. Just going to the half-bridge was far. It would take a while, and she needed to go roll in some plants to get her scent masked.
"Everything will be fine. Go back to the den and get some sleep. I'll be back in a few moments." Dovewing felt bad saying that. She knew it was a lie. She wouldn't get back until early morning.
"I know where your going Dovewing. You don't need to lie to me." Suddenly, the tone in Ivypool's voice had changed.
"What do you mean?" Dovewing asked. She already knew what Ivypool was referring to, even without her answering.
"You and Tigerheart." Ivypool had meowed, as if it wasn't a secret to her.
"Since when?" Dovewing wasn't very surprised that the closest cat to her would know. Plus, she was her sister.
"Since your first meeting almost two moons ago. Just go Dovewing, I don't want to make you late. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Tell him I said 'hi' for me." Ivypool trotted away quickly. Dovewing thought for a moment before continuing her trip to the half bridge.
Dovewing stayed low, frequently checking for any cat's scent within proximity. She reached the half bridge, but couldn't spot Tigerheart.
"Tigerheart?" She whispered quietly, trying to find him. A breeze of wind rustled the leaves, giving Dovewing a chill. Dovewing could hear nothing except the sound of the whistling wind. The leaves were flying off the tree, almost leaf-bare time.
"Dovewing?" She heard. The young she cat turned her head around to see the young tom. Tigerheart.
"Tigerheart! You came! I was wondering where you were. Or whether you were going to come tonight." Dovewing purred with emotion.
"Of course I would come tonight. I have somewhere to show you. Come with me" Tigerheart started to leap away from Dovewing at a fast pace and Dovewing did her best to follow. Her senses were sharpened a night and she could hear every sound near them. Luckily, no cats were out on this cold breezy night.
Suddenly, curiosity came to her. The two cats were going far away from their clans. They were nearing the Abandoned Twoleg Nest. "Tigerheart, where are we going?" She asked with concern.
"I found a special place that we could meet. It's very nice, and we could sneak out more, since no cat would follow us."
Before reaching the Twoleg Nest, Tigerheart had made a sharp direction change, now heading west. Dovewing was confused. 'Where could we be going?' She wondered. 'There's nothing over there?
Dovewing had known most of the spots in the lake territory because of her extra sharp senses. She was still unsure of where Tigerheart was bringing her, but she knew that he wouldn't ever do anything to harm her. In front of her, Tigerheart came to a stop. Dovewing looked around at their destination, there was not anything unusual or special in sight. 'Why would he bring me here?' She thought.
"Were here." Was all her said. He used his paws to push aside a rock near a small creek. The creek of rushing water most likely flowed downward into the lake. As Tigerheart pushed the big rock with all of his strength, a beautiful area was uncovered underneath the rock. 'Where does this lead to?' Dovewing wondered with amazement.
Eh, it's not my favorite writing piece, but I hoped that it was at least okay. I would love it if you could review. Depending on the reviews I get, I'll decide when to update. Bye for now!
