Intruders!
By: Brambleberry214
A/N: Here's chapter 9! I hope you enjoy it. Will be a short chapter, but I might be able to stretch it to make it more! This chapter had no planning, so it might not be very up to scratch. Please don't let this ruin it! Read and review!
Chapter 9
Splashstar and Brokenshadow dropped Mousepaw off at the Waterclan camp, telling him that he deserves a feast and a sleep. They then padded out into the forest again, towards their 'secret' place. It was where they went when they wanted time alone. It was where they could be in peace, and have some quiet time together – away from the noise of the camp.
Splashstar POV
As we padded through the trees, Brokenshadow pressed himself against me. It felt brilliant, and I wanted nothing to spoil it. As we reached our place, (a small, leafy den at the end of Waterclan territory) I curled up in a mossy nest, and my mate collected his own moss and lay down next to me, purring gently. I entwined my tail in his and purred too. We were alone here.
"I love you Brokenshadow," I mew, stretching out and rested myself more comfortably next to him.
"I love you too. Shall we?" he whispered, and I gasped. He was suggesting...? I never thought he would say this today. Never, never, never.
"Yes..." I begin, "Yes..I would love that very much Brokenshadow." And we did. (A/N: I don't think you need me to tell you what it is right?) Something that would bond us again. We want to stay with each other forever. He wants that too. I can sense it. I can sense it a lot – by his movements and words.
Brokenshadow POV
It felt brilliant to be alone with Splashstar. I couldn't have dreamed for any better. And we are having kits again...We discussed names, but we both agreed that you have to see a kit to name it. It would be perfect. We love each other so much – we are prepared to die for each other...really...we are.
"Shall we go back? Before we're missed? Well, we will be, but if we bring back fresh-kill then cats will think we have been hunting. You can announce the kits to the clan," I mew. Splashstar nodded, and we heaved ourselves up and padded out of our den.
(No longer any cat's POV – normal)
Splashstar leaped onto the Chrystal Rock. She gazed around her clan. To the other cats, an unidentifiable look of pride was on her face. She was smiling so much.
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Chrystal Rock for a clan meeting!" The leader's yowl summoned the Waterclan cats.
"I have some news," Splashstar began, "I am having kits. Mine and Brokenshadow's." She mewed happily. The cats below her mewed their approval. Brokenshadow's eyes glowed.
"Whilst I am in the nursery – which will be very soon, Ebonystar will need some help organising everything...Lightningclaw, you will help Ebonystar," she yowled, and the two cats dipped their heads – Lightningclaw looked very happy to be chosen by her leader to help organise the clan. Good, Splashstar thought, Lightningclaw looks happy and surprised. She should have known how much I like her, and how much Waterclan needs her. We can't lose her. The whole clan respects her.
"Dismissed. Oh, and I need a hunting patrol. Whiteflower, can you lead it?" Splashstar yowled. The pure white she-cat dipped her head, called Brookpaw and Slysnake, and the patrol left the camp. Splashstar looked happy. This was how clan should be – well organised and happy. She hoped it would stay that way.
A/N: Right then! That was Chapter 9. I hope you liked it, and will review. I do take criticism, but if you're Veni0Vidi0Vici or anyone from Lawlclan don't bother. I haven't time for you're spite.
