Winged

When two cats from each Clan find out they are related, they bond together, meeting every two nights by the lake. As their meetings continue, they uncover secrets from their parents past- and their powers. They find they have the power of super strength and flight. They soon realize that they were given powers for one reason- to save the Clans from an approaching danger.

Chapter 13: Love Betrayal

The black-gray tom padded through the forest, happily. He headed for the sparkling lake, in hopes of meeting a she-cat. The tom sat, staring into the lake, patiently waiting. "So you did come." The tom jerked around, relaxing as he saw the sleek-gray she-cat. "Fishwing!" He breathed in pure love.

Fishwing padded to him. "I am here now, my love. It was so hard to get away from camp with Reedwhisker planning all these patrols." The tom nodded. "Yeah, Brambleclaw literally puts me on every patol." Fishwing nodded, nuzzling his soft face. "Listen," She mewed carefully to him. "I love you, Haretail. But are you sure that you love me, when you still have your mate?" "Of course, Fishwing! I've never loved a cat so much before! I used to love Skyfeather, but now we've fallen out. I know for a fact she still loves me, though."

Fishwing lay beside him, curling up around his body. "Would you run away with me, if I asked you?" "Yes, anything to get away from these Clan rules. Its so dumb that we cant have mates in other Clans." She nodded with love filled eyes. "Will you break up with her? Just to show that you really love me? To show that this is not a trick, not a lie?" Haretail licked her ear. "I will in the morning. Then, we can be together."

Fishwing's eyes widened. "You will? Thank you so much, Haretail!" She licked him all over the face. He licked her back. "I love you, Fishwing. I would cross the territories and travel to the mountain and back for you." They lay together on the ground, facing the lake, in feelings of pure love.

"I must go, Haretail. I love you!" She mewed, waving her tail in goodbye.

As Haretail turned to leave, he caught something moving in the bushes. He snuck closer, only to feel claws in his pelt. The claws dragged him into the bush. He stared up into the eyes of Skyfeather. "Sk-Skyfeather! Hi!" Her eyes were filled with pain. "How long have you ben seeing her? How long have you been out of love with me?"

She practically fell to the ground with sadness. "You told me you loved me! You said I was your forever." She paused. "I guess you lied."

Skyfeather turned away, preparing to leave. She glanced around at Haretail. "From now on, Haretail, we are Ex-Mates. Have a good life with her."
