Goldeneye still couldn't believe what was happening : the entire Clan had to fled the camp to avoid being consumed by the raging fire after Fireheart , her mate, alerted everyone. During their escape to the River, Bramblekit , Halftail, Patchpelt were missing and so Fireheart , against his mate's pleas, re-entered the forest to save them alongside Yellowfang who volunteered to help him.
Later, as the Clan waited at the river's shore, Fireheart came back alone with Bramblekit and Patchpelt. Sadly the old cat passed away despise Cinderpelt's attempt to save him. When he saw that the fire was coming closer by the second, the Flame-pelted Deputy ordered everyone to cross the river to go to Riverclan. After hesitation and having none other options, the entire Clan 'swam' to the other side of the River only to be helped by some Riverclan's Cats (Among them was Leopardfur , Riverclan's deputy).
Crookedstar, Riverclan's Leader, allowed them to stay until the fire died out and even prepared a fresh kill pile for them . Goldeneye had see some Riverclan Cats during her patrols but she wasn't comfortable with the stares some toms gave her. She staid with Whitestorm and Sandstorm the whole time to protect Bluestar from Riverclan's Warriors.
Then she saw her mate with a dark gray tom with yellow eyes. A stripe of darker gray fur was running down his back.
"Sandstorm ? Who is this tom ?" Goldeneye asked as she pointed at the tom with her paw. The pale ginger she-cat looked over and smiled "This is Graystripe... He was a Warrior from our clan and Fireheart's best friend..."
The White and Honey-furred Molly looked at her friend questioningly "Why would he leave Thunderclan ?" It was Whitestorm who responded "Graystripe had cubs with a Crookedstar's daughter , Silverstream. Sadly she died giving birth to them and when Riverclan asked Bluestar to give them the kits... Graystripe decided to join Riverclan so he could be with them... His decision saddened Fireheart deeply..." "Yes... I never saw Fireheart so sad before... " Sandstorm agreed with a sight.
Goldeneye looked at her mate who was walking toward them while the gray tom, Graystripe was approaching Crookedstar. The Fire-pelted Deputy looked at Whitestorm "Graystripe and I will go look for Yellowfang and Halftail ! We will return later !" The White tom nodded respectfully while Goldeneye pressed her head against his "Be careful " "I will don't worry... Sandstorm ? Could you keep an eye of her ?" The pale ginger she-cat nodded earning a pout from the White and Honey furred molly.
She watched her mate leaving with his old friend and sighed when they entered what remained of the forest which was now devastated and destroyed. "Don't worry about him...Graystripe would never hurt him and Fireheart can take care of himself !" Sandstorm said comfortingly when she saw the concern in Goldeneye's eyes. "I know but still..." the molly responded softy before looking at the sky, praying Starclan that Yellowfang and Halftail were alive and well.
As the time passed, Goldeneye was growing more and more anxious. Its been a long time since Fireheart and Graystripe left and the duo didn't came back yet.
Sandstorm too was a bit concerned as was Whitestorm. Soon Cinderpelt approached them equally anxious "I hope Yellowfang is alright..." the twisted legged she-cat whispered softy and Goldeneye heard her "I'm sure she is... She is strong for her age after all !" Cinderpelt seemed to be encouraged by this and the Medicine Cat Apprentice looked at her friend with gratefulness.
Then Bluestar stood up looking at something . The entire Clan looked over and saw Fireheart and Graystripe. Goldeneye wanted to rush toward them but then she noticed their faces : they looked sad. Having a bad feeling in her gut , she was about to ask them what's going on but Bluestar beat her "Did you found Halftail and Yellowfang ?" the Blue Leader asked the two with a bit of hope in her tone.
The Clan approached them wanting to know if their Clan-mates survived. However all hope were destroyed when Fireheart responded with a sad tone " Both of them are gone..." Hearing this, Goldeneye and Cinderpelt had tears in their eyes as they backed away. The twisted legged gray she-cat pressed herself against Sandstorm's fur and Fireheart approached his mate so he could comfort her.
Angrily, Bluestar announced that Thunderclan would return NOW ! "But the camp is destroyed !" Graystripe shouted with wide eyes "We will rebuilt it !" "Let me help you..." the gray tom said softy but almost pleadingly and of course Bluestar refused saying that he chose his kits over his clan and that he had to endure the consequence. Goldeneye saw the sadness in Graystripe's eyes and she equally saw this in her mate's emerald eyes.
White Bluestar was thanking Riverclan's Leader for their help, Goldeneye noticed that her mate was looking warily at Leopardfur who had a calculating look in her eyes. "Are you alright Fireheart ?" she asked him gently and he shook his head before facing her "Its nothing don't worry" She didn't believed him of course but if he didn't want to talk now...maybe later ?
The way back to Thunderclan's camp was mostly in silent as everyone looked around with wide eyes of shock when they saw the damage caused by the Fire.
It was worse they entered the camp, all Clan staid silent as they observed their devastated camp "Where is Yellowfang ?" Bluestar asked harshly and Fireheart let her to the Medicine Cat's den where the Leader entered. Goldeneye couldn't help but being sad about Yellowfang's death.
Cinderpelt too affected but she managed to put her grief aside so she could take care of the Clan. Bluestar soon came out of the Medicine Den sayign Starclan had declared War on Thunderclan which caused Goldeneye and Fireheart to back away in shock and horror until the Deputy asked the new Medicine Cat to treat their Leader.
Later, Goldeneye was looking up at her mate who was standing on Highrock and she barely listened what he was saying. He looked more handsome and proud up there and she knew he would make a excellent Leader someday...Not that she wished Bluestar's death of course. Her thought were interrupted by the Clan shouting loudly their approval to whatever Fireheart said before separating . A group went to Whitestorm while the other approached Darkstripe.
Goldeneye looked at her mate who approached her and without thinking , she pressed her head against his , purring and he happily returned it. " Fireheart can we patrol the territory together ?" "Why ?" he asked her gently but with some curiosity "To find which place are still spared by the fire and maybe...for some alone time~" The White and Honey furred Molly responded with a wink.
Fireheart chuckled before looking at Whitestorm "Goldeneye and I will go in patrol ! You are in charge for now !" When the White tom nodded , the two left the camp. As they walked, they couldn't help but glancing around at the once beautiful forest now destroyed. Goldeneye then whispered after a moment of silence "Fireheart I want kits...YOUR kits..." The Deputy stopped and looked at her " I know... I want to have a family on our own too but...what if I'm not a good father ? What is something happened to them ?"
"Fireheart you should listen to yourself ! You would make a WONDERFUL father : you're strong , caring , loyal and patient. Everything would be fine~" Goldeneye explained with a seductive look in her beautiful gold eyes.
Fireheart seemed hesitant but he had to gave up when he saw the pleading look she was giving him due to his silence "Alright..."
To his amusement, her response was a squeal of delight and just to tease her a bit , he announced "But first lets finish our patrol !" As predicted, Goldeneye whined in disagreement but went along with it. The two managed to find some areas untouched by the fire and they detected the smell of a few preys nearby. So some animals managed to escape this catastrophe.
A hour later, Goldeneye couldn't wait any longer and suddenly, tackled her mate down which caused him to yelp in surprise as he found himself on his back. "Goldeneye what was that for ?!" She only grinned in response before lowering her head down to lick his cheek and neck. Fireheart shuddered and then noticed her winked at him in a seductive manner.
Then she got off him before walking away , swinging her hips as her tail sweeped around her rump before using the tip to gently tickle Fireheart's chin. The Flame-colored tom was too entranced by her display that he didn't reacted at first until the tip of her tail stopped tickling him as she walked away. He shook his head to regain his composure and saw her walking toward a rather well preserved clearing surrounded by bushes.
Goldeneye smiled warmly as she used her tail to gesture him to come over as she winked at him in a seductive manner. Completely unable to resist her beauty and grace, Fireheart approached her , purring as she raised her hips in the air swaging it a bit . It was the best moment of their life and they enjoyed it despise the circumstances.
