Chapter Nineteen

The sun beams glowed behind the thick fluffy clouds as her silver dappled tail slowly flicked back and forth. The delicate grass blades on the forest floor curled around her paws as she padded closely behind Suntalon. Sun dappled leaves of near by bushes brushed against Moongazer's silver dappled pelt. The golden tom slow walked in front of her. She peered around him and managed to see a large structure of extremely dense undergrowth. Sun beamed through the leaves and dappled the forest floor. The scraping of a squirrels teeth scraped against a pine nut. She eerie noise easily sent chills down Moongazer's spine each time it sounded. Suddenly, Suntalon stopped dead in his tracks.

The golden tom turned around with his amber eyes gleaming. "We're here!" He purred as his tail flicked back and forth.

Moongazer's ears flattened against her head as she looked around. Surrounding her was nothing but dense undergrowth. She flicked her cool blue gaze at Suntalon in confusion. The large golden tom rolled his eyes and meowed, "Not here!"

Moongazer purred as she watched the golden tom dive into the dense undergrowth. His tail poked out as it waved back and forth. Her ears pricked forward and curiosity burned in her chest when she saw his slender golden tail disappear through the bushes. A few moments later, Suntalon poked his head out of the undergrowth with his amber eyes glistening, "Well? Are you coming?"

Moongazer's pelt bristled with excitement as she nosed her way through the bushes. Soft, fuzzy leaves brushed against her muzzle until she came through the other end. Her eyes widened in shock and admiration. What Suntalon had shown her was a completely isolated clearing. At the back of a clearing, a small water fall was exposed. The soft sound of running water echoed in the clearing as mist rose from the crashing water. Soft bird song chirped as the sun beamed through the talk tree tops, carefully sapling the ground in soft light. In the center of the clearing sat Suntalon. His eyes were gleaming and his ears were pricked. His tail was carefully placed over his paws. Moongazer padded forward with her tail flicking high as her deep blue orbs awed at the beautiful sight. Her throat rumbled in a purr as she sat beside him, feeling his warmth.

"This is amazing, no one knows about it?" The large golden tom's amber eyes landed on her, glowing with vibrant love. His broad golden head shook. "No one, I found it earlier. I figured you deserved to see it too, but with me," His eyes glowed with warmth as he continued. "It can be our secret place!"

Moongazer throat vibrated in a loud purr. She leaned against the golden tom and nuzzled him under his chin. Suntalon's chest rumbled with each breath he took, and that soft sound soothed Moongazer to the tip of her tail. She could feel the love in the air and the warmth that gleamed from Suntalon's bright golden pelt, which glowed bright orange against the pale sunlight. "Stay here with me, just for tonight," Sutalon whispered in her ear.

Moongazer flicked her deep blue gaze up at the tom as the pale sunlight grew paler and paler. A loud purr rose in her throat once again, "Of course!"

Moogazer opened her eyes slowly to see the chilly fog linger in the once beautiful clearing. Suntalon laid beside her with his golden pelt dull with frost. The tom trembled slightly beside her, which made her cuddle closer to him, sharing her warmth with him. The large tom beside her began to stir as breath billowed from his mouth. "It's so cold," he rasped as he stood shakily.

Moongazer began to lick his fur clean of the frost, "It appears that leaf-bare is almost here. Perhaps we should make our way back to the Clan, they'll be wondering where we are."

The golden tom nodded and stood. With a large shake of his golden fur, tiny crystals of frozen water flung off his pelt and sprinkled on Moongazer. "Hey!" she snapped playfully with her tail swaying.

Suntalon purred with his golden tail flicking. He padded forward past her and turned his gaze on her, "Well? Lets get back to camp!"

Moongazer fur quivered with energy as adrenaline pulsed through her veins. She followed her mate out of the secret clearing. The dense undergrowth at the entrance pulled at her pelt as she exited behind Suntalon. The energy that course through her body grew stronger as her paws began to fidget. "I'll race you back to camp!" She snapped as she lunged forward. "You cheated!" She heard Suntalon yowl from several strides behind her.

She leaped with great effort through the forest. Gusts of wind blew through her fur as she ran. Leaves grazed against her belly as she leaped over bushes. Soon enough, she saw the tall grass that circled around the camp. Gasping for air, she turned her head to see Suntalon blow right past her. She watched the golden tom leap over the talk grass with ease and she soon followed him. They both stood in the camp panting and shaking from the exercise. "Where have you two been?" Came a cats angry voice.

Moongazer felt her chest tighten in pain from lack of air. She flicked her blue gaze up to see Barracudatail standing in front of them with his blue eyes wide in worry. "We were just.. Out," she stated as her tail swayed in the air.

"Out? All night?" He snapped at her.

Suntalon stood in front of her protectively. "Yes," he stated plainly.

The Clan deputy stared at Suntalon with anger, but his gaze cleared and turned to worry again. "Moongazer, I have bad news," his voice cracked in pain.

The silver-dappled she-cat stepped forward with her tail straight out and her ears flattened, "What?"

The golden tom's ears flattened and his fur was on end. "Your mother kitted early this morning," his voice cracked then he took a deep breath before he continued, "Mouseflight says she only has moments of life left. She's lost too much blood, and she is very weak."

Moongazer froze. Her heart began to beat against her chest. Suntalon tried to press himself against her in comfort, but Moongazer pushed off him and bounded toward the nursery. Once she entered the small entrance, she saw a crumbled white body in a nest. Moongazer saw Salmonsplash sitting with her head lowered and belly slightly enlarged by her own kits. Moongazer padded forward cautiously with her fur on end and eyes wide. Her mother laid helplessly in her nest with three kits in her nest. Moongazer peered down at her mother. The strong, proud white she-cat now looked small and pathetic. Behind Moongazer, Mouseflight pushed his way through the entrance and sat beside Moongazer. "Shellwing has agreed to look after them," he murmured as he bent down to pick up a sand-colored kit.

"That's Sandkit, be careful with her," her mother rasped.

Moongazer bent her head down at nuzzled her mothers mouth shut. "Don't talk," she whispered.

"I must," she managed to growl as she snapped her head away from Moongazer. "The silver tom is Carpkit and the white she-cat is Minnowkit."

Her mothers dull blue eyes managed to sparkle when she said her last kits name. Moongazer watched as Mouselfight came over once more and lifted Carpkit up from the nest. Salmonspalsh whimpered softly as she leaned down and lifted the last kit and followed Mouseflight to Shellwing's nest. Moongazer looked down at her mother, who starred to at her blankly. Every hair stood on end when she saw her mother no longer breathing. "She has joined StarClan, Moongazer," a soft whisper billowed in her ear.

A/N: So..? What did you guys think? Do you feel bad for Swanfeather? Did she deserve to die for all she's done? Who was the voice that spoke to Moongazer? The next chapter is going to be GREAT!
