Please read and review! It makes me smile! And you want to see me happy don't you? DON'T YOU?!?!?!?! LoL just kidding!
ON WITH THE STORY!!
Ch.2 You love him?
"The problem is……I still love him!"
Willowpelt was left in silence as her friend admitted that she still loved Tigerclaw. Did she hear her right? Was Goldenflower really in love with that traitor who tried to kill their leader, Bluestar, and almost destroyed their clan?
Slowly, Goldenflower began to stand up from her nest and started to leave the nursery. Willowpelt stopped her with her paw.
"You do?" asked Willowpelt, even though she knew the answer to her question. Goldenflower nodded her head and let her eyes gaze at the floor. A single tear rippled down her face and hit the ground.
Bramblekit and Tawnykit ran to their mother because they knew something was wrong.
"Mommy, are you ok?" asked Bramblekit as he looked in his mother's eyes. Tawnykit looked at her mother too, nodding her head along with Bramblekit.
Goldenflower smiled at her son and stared in his eyes, but what she saw made her turn away in tears. When she looked into Bramblekit's eyes, she saw Tigerclaw. Bramblekit was a spitting image of him. His eyes, his body structure, almost everything was like him!
"Mommy?" Bramblekit's voice shook Goldenflower from her thoughts.
"Sorry, Bramblekit. Mommy's fine! I'm just a little tired!" Goldenflower smiled her best fake smile at the kitten. Tawnykit whined to her brother,
"Come on, Bramblekit! I want to fight!" She tackled the unexpected tom and the two went back into the nursery. Willowpelt smiled then quickly turned back to the other she-cat.
"I saw the way you looked at him," whispered Willowpelt to Goldenflower who sighed when she heard what Willowpelt was telling her. "You see Tigerclaw in him, don't you?" Goldenflower silently nodded her head.
"Yes," was the only word Goldenflower could say.
"So, you really do love him," sighed Willowpelt as Goldenflower and she walked away from the nursery to grab something from the fresh kill pile.
Goldenflower grabbed a plump mouse out of the pile and so did Willowpelt. They had to get back to the nursery, so Bramblekit and Tawnykit wouldn't be alone.
"Yes, Willowpelt, yes!" cried Goldenflower when they returned to the nursery and she dropped the mouse in front of her. "I feel so guilty! I shouldn't be in love with a traitor! I shouldn't!" Willowpelt cringed as her best friend fell to the ground in grief, while her two kittens were as happy as a new apprentice catching their first prey. Poor dear!
This was the queen who was strong no matter what, and had the guts to even watch her mate being banished! This was the queen who nursed Graystripe's kittens when their mother, Silverstream, died giving birth to them, until they were sent to Riverclan! She couldn't just stand there and watch her friend die right in front of her and drown in the misery of losing her mate! Every minute, Goldenflower slipped even further into the grasps of depression and agony. Every minute, Willowpelt was losing more and more of her best friend. Every minute, both of them were being torn apart.
She couldn't let this happen.
She couldn't let her friend die.
She wouldn't! She couldn't!
No, she had to speak up!
Speak, Willowpelt, speak! Willowpelt thought to herself. You've got to help her!
"I'm in love with a traitor! Everyone should just banish me too for loving him!" Goldenflower growled as she gobbled up her mouse.
That was enough.
"Goldenflower!" hissed Willowpelt stepping on her half eaten mouse. "ENOUGH!"
Goldenflower was stunned. Willowpelt was doing the same thing that she did to her!
"But Willowpelt…" sniffed Goldenflower, but Willowpelt put her tail in her mouth.
"But what, Goldenflower? So what if you're in love with a traitor? You were his mate!" Goldenflower was silent, and once again, so were the kits that were in the corner playing, but stopped when they heard the arguing. "If you're in love with him…go tell him!"
"What? But Tigerclaw's…" Goldenflower began to cry, but Willowpelt shoved her tail in her mouth again.
"Yes, he's banished, but you've got to tell him!" Tawnykit and Bramblekit became interested in the conversation.
"Tell who what?" asked Tawnykit jumping on her mother.
"Tell Dustpelt he's got a weird head?" laughed Bramblekit also jumping on his mother.
"Tell Bluestar that….that…that her name begins with blue?" asked Tawnykit. Willowpelt knew they just wanted attention.
"Tell daddy to come home?" asked Bramblekit to Goldenflower looking straight into her eyes again.
"Yeah! I miss daddy!" cried Tawnykit also.
Goldenflower cringed. They were so cute, but yet so clueless on where their father went to.
"Daddy can't come home, kits!" Goldenflower coolly said. "Now go to our nest and go take a nap. I'll be there shortly!" Bramblekit and Tawnykit both nodded their heads and went to the nest and closed their eyes.
Once the kittens were deep in sleep, Goldenflower and Willowpelt engaged in their conversation again.
"Go tell him, Goldenflower!" Willowpelt said furiously under her breath.
"I can't!" shouted Goldenflower too loudly, but luckily Bramblekit and Tawnykit never moved.
"Yes, you can! Just go at night! I'll watch Bramblekit and Tawnykit while you're gone and you can find him!" explained Willowpelt trying to get her friend to do the right thing.
"I can't!" Goldenflower said again.
"Yes, you can!"
"No, I can't!"
"Yes, you can!"
"No, I can't!"
"YES, YOU CAN! If you love him, you'll go and tell him!" sneered Willowpelt who was going red in the face and was about to explode.
"I can't!" whined Goldenflower. This was never going to end.
"Do we have to do this again?" asked Willowpelt, not wanting to argue again.
"No! I can't tell him tonight! I have to go to the gathering tonight, so I can't!" laughed Goldenflower to Willowpelt.
"Well, at least you're smiling again!" laughed Willowpelt as she gave her friend a friendly lick.
"I guess I better get to sleep with these kits if I'm going to the gathering!" smiled Goldenflower to Willowpelt. They said good-bye to each other and Goldenflower snuggled in with her kits.
As Goldenflower began to close her eyes she remembered her good times with Tigerclaw. Maybe if she told Tigerclaw she loved him then she would be able to live her life. Maybe that's why he never said good-bye to her. Maybe he thought she lost her love for him because he was a traitor and murderer. But that wasn't true.
It wasn't true.
And he would soon find that out when she would tell him.
About ten minutes later, as Willowpelt was talking to Longtail, she soon realized something that she hadn't before. She said good-bye to Longtail and ran to the nursery.
"Goldenflower can't go the gathering!" Willowpelt mumbled to herself. "She's got kits!" As she entered the nursery she sighed as she saw the pale, ginger queen already asleep. She would yell at Goldenflower later about lying, but right now she would let her friend sleep.
This next scene will be a flash back so the lettering will look like thishello I'm Bob!
"Tigerclaw!" Tigerclaw turned around when he heard his mate say his name. There she was; his pale, ginger she-cat queen, running from the fresh kill pile to him at Highledge. He loved her so much, but it was hard for him to show her because of his personality.
"What is it, Goldenflower?" he asked her a little too meanly, but she didn't care. She rubbed up against his pelt in welcome and in happiness.
"Well, Tigerclaw, we're going to be expecting kits!" squealed Goldenflower jumping up and down. Tigerclaw stood there in silence for a minute taking in what Goldenflower had said. He was going to be a father?
"Are you sure?" asked Tigerclaw grinning at his mate. She shook her head and replied,
"Yes! Can't you see?" she pointed with her tail to her stomach which was a little bit bigger than it use to be.
"We're going to be having kittens?" Tigerclaw asked again making sure no other cat was around. The only cats or should he say, cat, that was around was that stupid kittypet that Bluestar let into Thunderclan, Fireheart.
"Yes!" yelled Goldenflower, so loud that many warriors came out of the warriors' den to see what was going on.
"Could you be any louder?" growled Tigerclaw as he turned away from his mate in disgrace. She sighed and walked away slowly; hurt by the way he treated her.
Later that day Tigerclaw went hunting by himself, so that he could be alone. Why did he have to be so stubborn? Why couldn't he have just smiled and have been all excited that he, Tigerclaw, was going to be a father? If he would have had the guts, Tigerclaw would have smacked his head against a tree several times by the way he acted. But the true issue now was his kits.
Was he going to have a male? If he did, would it be strong enough to be a leader? A future deputy? A female would do well too. He would make it sure that his kits or kit would be one of the greatest warriors in Thunderclan, so he could prove full blooded warriors were better than kittypets like Fireheart.
A mouse up ahead interrupted Tigerclaw in his thoughts. He slowly crept on it and attacked.
This next scene will be in the present time but in first person and from the view of someone else.
I never said good-bye. I didn't want to. I was ashamed. I thought I would win instead of losing and being banished from my mate and my children. That's why I couldn't say good-bye.
I miss her, but I can no longer be with her, though I see her everywhere I go.
Even now when I am with this rogue I see my angel. This rogue means nothing to me, but I have nothing better to do, but soon I'll have my family back and I'll have revenge on the kittypet who made my life miserable.
I will rule all four clans.
