Aria's P.O.V.
Flame leads me into the camp. My kits run over to me. "Hi momma!" Thorn meows and I purr. Flame leads me over to a nice shady spot. My kits come over and suckle. My old clanmates come in. Flame curls around me. "Oh." My mother says as she sees my kits. Dawn, Amber, Marissa, and Flower run out of their den. "ARIA!" They say and run over to me. "Hello Amber, Dawn, Flower and Marissa." I say and my kits jump around. "Light, I think I can finally beat you in a race!" Marissa says and I laugh. Light is like the fastest cat in the world. "As if." Light says and They go to the starting line that they drew. "Ready, set, GO." I yowl and Light speeds off. She passes the finish line a fox length before Marissa. Light trots back over with Marissa padding behind her. "Marissa, I don't think you are as fast as Light." I tell her and she nods. "Um?" Moon says and points to the clan cats. Oh yeah, they are there. "What were we talking about again?" I ask them as they pad over. "The you know what." Flame says and I nod. "Oh yeah." I say and pull my kits to me. "What was wrong with my daughter that you had to pin her down?" My mother asks Flame. "The curse." he says and licks my cheek. "What curse?" My mother asks. "I was born with a curse. Anger over takes me." I say.
Flame's P.O.V.
I nod when Aria Talks about her curse. A fox pads into the cave. Aria's eyes turn a bright purple. Her mother gasps. Aria stalks up to the fox and pounces on the fox. I watch her battle the fox. She chases it off and pads over. She sits down and the purple fades from her eyes. She shivers and lays her head on my shoulder. "Why did she do that?" Redtail says and looks at Aria. "The curse." I say. "It takes her over. Her eyes go from pink to purple. Her instincts take over. When she is just normal mad, they turn a little purple. But if she gets really mad, They instantly go from Bright Pink to Bright Purple." I say and Aria nods slightly. "Flame is the only cat who can free me from the curse after it starts." Aria says and licks my cheek. "Oh." Pebblestar says. I look outside. "You better stay here. It is to dark for you to travel." Aria says and I nod. She pads up to the den and the kits follow. I purr when she looks at me. I lead the clan cats to a den and they pad in. I pad up to the den. I purr when I see the kits and Aria sleeping peacefully. I purr and curl up around them. Soon I am peacefully asleep.
Aria's P.O.V.
The next morning when I wake up, Flame purrs. I lick his cheek and he pulls me close. "I love you." He says. I purr. "I love you too." I say. The kits wake up and run outside. I get up and pad outside. Flame follows. I see Blackclaw and Redtail talking softly. I pad down and Flame settles beside me. We sit in the shade of a boulder. Ariel pads over. "Ariel, you are pregnant." Flame says. Apple comes over and nudges Ariel. "Wow." Ariel says. "That's great!" I purr. "What are you talking about?" Apple asks and I see he dosn't listen. "If you had been listening, you would know that Ariel is having YOUR KITS!" Flame meows and Apple looks shocked. "That's great!" He says and nudges Ariel. "ARIA!" Dawn yelps and I see all the kits are circling her. I pad over and I see the clan cats glaring at me but I could really could care less. "Why are you all trying to attack Dawn?" I ask them and they look at me. "we want to play chase!" They say. "Dawn, jump on." I tell her and put my tail tword her. She jumps on. I trot away and put Dawn on a rock. "Come and get me!" She yowls and I purr as she takes off running around the cave. I purr when Light quickly catches her and pins her down. "Good job Light." I say and lick my kit. She purrs. I lead all the kits over to Flame and Moon. Moon's kits go and sit next to her. My kits jump around me and Flame. I see the clan cats pad over. Thorn and Shadow hiss at Bluetail. He jumps back and looks Horrified. I laugh.
Bluetail looks at me. "Thorn, Shadow, Come here." I tell my kits and they pad back to me. "We just came to say goodbye." My mother says and I nod. "Kits, This is MY mother." I tell them and they look at them. "Hi. I am Pebblestar." My mother says. "This is Light, Thorn, Petal, and Shadow." I tell her. I point to each kit with my tail. "Okay." My mother says. "We must get going." My mother says and I nod. "Have a nice trip back." I say and they pad out of the cave. I nuzzle Flame and he covers my face in licks. I purr. He leads me and the kits up to the den, I curl around them and fall asleep.
½ moon later
Flame's P.O.V.
I pad along the Sunsetclan border with Apple and Blaze. I see Pebblestar, Stormwind, and Redtail. Great. I pad along to the border and each group stops in front of the other. "Hello, Flame." Pebblestar says and I dip my head. "Hello Pebblestar, How is Cherryflight?" I ask. At that moment, Jordan sprints over. "A badger attacked. Aria... Badly... Hurt." She says between pants. Both groups stare at her in terror. Then I run as fast as I can back to the cave. I know both groups are following but I am faster. I run in camp and run to my mate's side. I lick her cheek and she looks at me. She has a nasty scratch on her side. "Get cobwebs." I tell Moon and she quickly comes back with cobwebs. I press cobwebs into the wound. The others come in. When I finish, Me, Jordan, Apple, Blaze, and Redtail move her away from the center of the clearing to one of the dens. We gently set her in the nest. I settle next to her. The others pad out of the den. I curl around her. She opens her eyes and looks at me. She softly purrs. I cover her face in licks. Then I groom her ruffled fur. She licks my cheek. "I am not leaving your side for a while." I tell her. Apparently, sometime, Her parents came in. She looks at them. They stare at me and her. "I don't know what you see in him. He's a monster and will never change." Stormwind hisses and Aria looks at him. "LEAVE! I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!" she screams and her parents look at her. They exit without another word. Her eyes are a bright purple. I lick her cheek and the color fades. She looks at me and I see hurt in her eyes. "My parents will never understand." She says and starts crying. She leans on my shoulder. I cover her face in licks and she stops crying. I purr. Then we both fall asleep. I dream of Aria.
A moon later
Still Flame.
I am yet again padding along the Sunsetclan border. Jordan is in the lead and I am padding next to Blaze. "I smell cats!" I say and We all look tword the bushes in their territory. Pebblestar, Stormwind, Blackclaw, and Redtail pad out. Marissa pads out of the bushes. She is like, 7 moons old. "Flame, Aria is missing. Again." She says. Aria comes up next to me. "Aria." I say and she looks at me. "I told you to stay in the cave." I tell her and she looks up at me. "I know, but I missed you." She whispers. "You can stay." I say. She licks my shoulder and I nuzzle her. Then she sees The Sunsetclan cats. She growls as loud as she can. I see Blackclaw look confused. She looks straight at Her mother and Father. "Sunsetclan! ATTACK! Pebblestar says and I stare at her. I see Aria's eyes turn bright purple. Stormwind runs tword me and I leap on him. We tussle around until I pin him down. I see Aria has pinned Blackclaw down, Jordan pinned Pebblestar down and Blaze pinned down Redtail. Marissa is in a tree. "You have all been pinned. Leave now." I say and jump off of Stormwind. The other jump off except for Aria. The three cats run away. "Aria, you can get off of him now." I say. "I say we take him to the camp." She says and hops off of him, but blocks his exit. Jordan helps her and the two lead him off to camp. I pad next to Blaze and we go to the cave. Aria puts Blackclaw in a den.
