1Chapter 1
Tigerclaw gazed up at the sky and felt excited. He was finally a warrior, after the battle with the foxes last night. It was a fierce short battle, but Tigerclaw felt satisfied. Thunderclan and Riverclan had teamed together to drive the three foxes off Thunderclan territory.
Tigerclaw gazed up at the sky and saw the dawn light beginning to show above the horizon. It was a beautiful sight, after being outside in the cold for so long. Though Tigerclaw was forbidden to speak, he wanted to yowl to Starclan his happiness. He may be the reincarnation of Tigerstar, but he'll never be like his other self.
"All quiet?" a voice made Tigerclaw turn to find Graystripe looking down at him.
Tigerclaw nodded and gazed up at the sky.
"It's alright, you can speak now, your vigil's over," Graystripe meowed.
"Finally," Tigerclaw meowed, dramatically, "thank you, Graystripe."
Graystripe purred in amusement and padded toward the apprentice den. "Flamepaw, it's time for training," he called.
The dark brown shape of Flamepaw padded out of the apprentice den, blinking away sleep from his eyes. He's eyes locked with Tigerclaw's and they narrowed slightly to cold amber slits.
Tigerclaw stared back, narrowing his eyes. For some reason, Tigerclaw felt he shouldn't trust Flamepaw. Why do I feel that way? Tigerclaw thought as he made his way over to the fresh kill pile. Taking a mouse for himself he padded over to the nettle patch, feeling Flamepaw burning a hole into his back.
"Hey Tigerclaw," a sweet voice sounded behind him. Tigerclaw turned around to find Feathertail staring down at him with warm blue eyes.
"Hi Feathertail," Tigerclaw meowed, gazing at his paws, shyly.
"When you've rested, do you want to hunt with me?" Feathertail meowed.
"Okay," Tigerclaw meowed, still gazing at his paws.
"Okay, see you at sunhigh," Feathertail meowed, gazing at him with clear blue eyes for a moment longer, before padding off.
Graystripe, who was leading Flamepaw toward the training hollow, saw this exchange and, murmuring something to Flamepaw, padded over to Tigerclaw. "Hi Tigerclaw," Graystripe meowed, narrowing his eyes as he gazed at the young warrior.
"Hi Graystripe, what is it?" Tigerclaw meowed, though he somehow knew the answer.
Graystripe sighed and sat down next to Tigerclaw. "You like Feathertail, don't you?" he meowed.
"No! What gave you that idea?!" Tigerclaw exclaimed, a little to loudly. He blinked in embarrasment and gazed at his paws.
"You know it's against the warrior code, Tigerclaw," Graystripe meowed, gently.
"I know, but I really like her, and I have this feeling she likes me too," Tigerclaw meowed, gazing at this paws.
A/n real quick, I love this pairing, so sue me TigerXFeather, I think thats an awesome random paring. Yeah TigerXFeather yea!!
"But even if you do love her, it could end tragically, look at me and Silverstream," Graystripe meowed, his voice was sad, and Tigerclaw remembered the stories he's heard of the deputies forbidden relationship and how Silverstream had died to bring life to Feathertail and Stormfur.
"I know, Graystripe, but I love her," Tigerclaw meowed, his voice low, so no one but Graystripe would hear him.
"I can't stop true love, but be careful, I don't want what happened to Silverstream to happen to Feathertail," Graystripe meowed.
"I understand, Graystripe," Tigerclaw meowed and got to his paws before padding into the warriors den.
"Stay away from me, and you can sleep anywhere," Ashfur hissed as he padded out of the den.
"Whats your problem?!" Tigerclaw hissed.
"I haven't forgotten that Tigerstar killed my mother," Ashfur snarled and stalked across the clearing.
"Ignore him, Tigerclaw, he's still upset that Tigerstar killed his mother in cold blood," Brightheart meowed, raising her head from her sleeping place.
Tigerclaw sighed, "I know, but I'm not another Tigerstar," he meowed, though technically, I am Tigerstar, he thought silently.
"Come over here, and ignore the fuss," Brightheart meowed.
"Thanks," Tigerclaw meowed, and settled down into a sleeping nest before sleep crashed over him like a giant wave.
