A/N I thought it was about time someone made a fanfic about these two. They were so close in Twilight!
Prologue
(Whitepaw's POV)
It has been three moons since Birchpaw was made an apprentice and we were inseparable. It was more than a crush; we both knew it, that's why we're sneaking out tonight. "You sure you want to do this?" Birchpaw asked. It was his idea and he wasn't one hundred percent sure I wanted to.
I blinked at him. "I've never been more sure of anything else. C'mon at this pace, we'll get to the Moonpool by dawn!" He smiled, more confidant now and quickened the pace to a run. We were both excited about seeing the Moonpool so we made it there so fast we had to catch our breath. When we were presentable enough we padded down to the crystal water and gasped.
Silverpelt shined against the water making it seem as though we could touch them in the water. As Birchpaw cleared his throat Silverpelt shone brighter. " Cats of Starclan, we, Whitepaw and I, Birchpaw, apprentices of Thunderclan come here to the sacred Moonpool to make a vow." When he finished I started again. "We promise to you and ourselves that Birchpaw's destiny and my destiny will be forever entwined. Help us keep our promise Starclan, do whatever you can do to help us stay together." Birchpaw started talking again. "If you do this, we will be forever grateful and will help cats believe in you when times are hard." We finished our vow together, "Thank you."
Birchpaw smiled at me. "That was easier than I thought." I rolled my eyes. "Come on mouse-brain, let's get home before a cat notices." With tails entwined, we walked out of the hollow. Just as we were walking out, a quiet voice whispered to me. Your promise to Starclan and yourselves will not be taken lightly… I hesitated, wondering what that voice was, but shook it off quickly. No weird voice was going to ruin the happiest night of my life.
In Starclan…
Bluestar paced worriedly as the apprentices left. "This is terrible!" she meowed to the council of cats. Spottedleaf stepped forward. "Bluestar, I looked into each of their hearts and saw only innocence and a lifetime of devotion. They deserve us to keep the promise."
"Bluestar looked at her incredulously. "We can only interfere totally with a cat's life every generation! The last time we did that was with Firestar! You want to waste that privilege on a couple of apprentices?"
Cedarheart padded up and wrapped his tail around Bluestar. "I see greatness in their future, so great it reminds me of Firestar's destiny." Gasps of surprise and low murmurs erupted from the council. Raggedstar spoke. "I think we should honor their promise. I remember a medicine cat apprentice and a warrior apprentice from Shadowclan ask for the same thing." He cast a sidelong glance to the council only to not see the face he wanted to see. "Where's Yellowfang?"
"Right here." A broad-faced she-cat with yellow eyes padded through the crowd of cats to sit with Bluestar. "I'm afraid we have no choice but to accept. Spottedleaf confirmed it." She drew a sharp glance to the medicine cat that was trying to head toward the exit. "SHE WHAT?!" Bluestar's rage lasted for a few heartbeats and then calmed down, forcing her neck fur to lie flat. She at Spottedleaf with a morbid expression."All right Spottedleaf, you get your way this time. But," She paused to speak to the entire council. " There is nothing more we can do except play our part." She turned back to Spottedleaf. "Spottedleaf, you have either saved us all, or have doomed us all."
A/N OOHH What will happen next? And for you sickos who thought they were gonna do something else in the beginning-EEW!Twistey out.
