Hawkfrost X Ashfur
"Who needs that useless excuse of a she-cat! I don't need her! Brambleclaw can have her! I'll make her suffer!" A gray tom growled at his reflection in the lakeside, "Hawkfrost gets me...He promised me that he'd help me...I hope he keeps his promise..." he said, looking around constantly. It was getting late and Hawkfrost still hadn't shown up, "Where is he?" he mewled worried. The gray tom lied down and used an unsheathed claw to make marks in the sand as he continued to wait.
"Ashfur!" a voice called from behind the gray tom. Ashfur turned around quickly to see his new closest friend run towards him. The RiverClan warrior: Hawkfrost. "Oh! Hawkfrost...I didn't think you'd come!" he said, rushing over to the brown tabby tom with a relieved smile. The RiverClan warrior sighed, "I almost couldn't, Mistyfoot won't get off my tail." he growled. Ashfur nodded, "I know the feeling, having a she-cat you can't stand so near you." he said. Hawkfrost already knew about Squirrelflight and him and sighed, "Yea, well...The she-cat in my clan didn't break me from the inside." he said honestly without hesitation.
The words stung, but Ashfur knew they were true. He padded back over to the shore, sitting in the sand. Hawkfrost took his spot next to Ashfur, remembering his father's words from a few nights ago, "Cause Firestar pain. If you kill him, it'll also make his daughter suffer...Isn't that what your little...ThunderClan tom wants? But you need to get close to him...Get him to trust you. Closer than just friends." he remembered them word for word. The RiverClan tom didn't like what his father had planned, but agreed to go along with it.
"Hey, Ashfur." Hawkfrost began
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing really. It's just that...I've been thinking...Maybe she-cats...Aren't my thing." Hawkfrost mewled, acting all sad and worried.
"What do you mean?" Ashfur questioned, getting a clue on what Hawkfrost might be saying.
"I think...I'm in love with a tom." Hawkfrost said. On the inside, he was smiling, hoping that Ashfur would fall for it and give him sympathy. On the outside he was showing no emotion but confusion and regret.
The gray tom saw the confusion in his friend's eyes, "Well...Who's the tom?" he asked, wanting to help Hawkfrost.
Hawkfrost sighed, not liking what he was about to do. "It's all to kill Firestar..." he thought to himself. The RiverClan warrior pounced on Ashfur, pinning him to the sandy beach and touching their noses together, "I-It's you..." he said softly.
The smaller tom felt his pelt get sun-hot with embarrassment, "M...Me!? B-But...We're..."
"Both toms?"
"Y...Yea..."
"Does it really matter?" Hawkfrost asked, acting shy and embarrassed.
Ashfur pushed Hawkfrost off of him, "Y-Yes! It DOES matter! One, we're in different clans! Two...I...I um...I'm confused right now...I don't know what I want..." he said softly. Hawkfrost smiled, knowing how to take advantage of this. He nuzzled Ashfur softly and forced their tails to be twined. The RiverClan tom smiled slyly, "Then...Allow me to show you what you want..." he purred, knocking them both to the ground again, Hawkfrost on top.
"Hawkfrost!" Ashfur gave out a light purr as he was pinned again, "G...Get off!" he said, not resisting though.
The blue eyed RiverClan tom smiled as he put his nose to Ashfur's again, "I heard that purr..." he murmured, smiling, "You're loving this aren't you?" he said, softening his grip of the gray cat. "It's okay if you are." Hawkfrost said smiling, beginning to actually enjoy it.
Ashfur looked away, "I...So what...? That doesn't change anything..." he growled softly. A satisfied purr came from Hawkfrost as he got off, "I got him to admit it...Now I need him to accept me...This...This is actually pretty interesting. Let's see how this plays out in my own personal favor..." he thought to himself with a smile. Hawkfrost nuzzled Ashfur again and whispered softly, "I won't hurt you like that fox-heart she-cat did...I'll be here for you, love you back, love you as much as you love me..." he purred, knowing it was working.
The gray tom was hot again, embarrassed, "I...I know you wouldn't...Who needs to be loyal to their clan...when they can be loyal to their mate..." he said softly, accepting Hawkfrost as his mate at last.
As Ashfur nuzzled him back, he was (for the first time) actually flustered. "A-Ashfur?" he asked.
"Yes Hawkfrost?"
"I'll do anything I can to get back at that she-cat for hurting you..." Hawkfrost promised, meaning every word. Ashfur smiled softly and licked his mate's cheek, "I appreciate it...Tell me what I can do to help," he said, nodding. Hawkfrost looked up at the moon, which was beginning to set. "You can help by meeting me tomorrow at twilight, right here." he said, "I need to return..." Hawkfrost said, sadly, not wanting to return.
"Oh...Okay...I-I'll see you tomorrow?" Ashfur asked as he turned to walk back to his camp.
"Yes. At twilight." Hawkfrost confirmed, turning his back and running back to RiverClan as fast as he could, wanting to get at least some sleep before the next day.
"So...My son is ACTUALLY interested into the gullible Ashfur..." A cold voice echoed into Hawkfrost as he shot open his eyes, seeing his father in the Dark Forest. "T-Tigerstar..." he mewed, taking a step back.
"What? Was I right? Are you falling for that mouse-brained ThunderClan tom?" he asked with a cocky smile. Hawkfrost shook his head and took a step towards him bravely, "Of course not. It's only to get back at Firestar for killing you, why should I have ANY interest in him besides that!?" he hissed, only meaning the part where he was killing Firestar.
Tigerstar nodded, "Good. For a moment there...I thought you were going soft." he growled, "Bonds make you weak Hawkfrost. Now...Tomorrow night, when you go to meet him, tell him the plan of killing Firestar, getting him caught in a fox trap." he said, smiling. "Do you remember the full plan?" he asked his son.
"Yes. First, get Ashfur to lead Firestar away from camp, to the Sky Oak. Once there, Ashfur will hide, and I'll push Firestar into the trap, watching him die slowly." he said, looking down at his paws.
"Perfect. Now...I wish to see Firestar in StarClan tomorrow night, do not fail me." he growled, fading away as Hawkfrost woke up in the RiverClan camp, panting.
Hawkfrost sat at the shore as the sun began to set, waiting for Ashfur. It didn't take long for the gray tom to appear from the forest brambles, "Hawkfrost!" Ashfur greeted with a smile. The RiverClan tom gave a warm smile as Ashfur ran up to nuzzle him. "Ashfur? I found a way to get to Squirrelflight..." he said, looking at his paws.
"Really? Tell me!" Ashfur said with a devious smile, "Let's get it started now!" he purred with happiness.
"But..I...I need your full cooperation for it to work...Alright..?" he asked, hoping Ashfur would go along with it.
"Of course! Now tell me the full plan!" Ashfur said smiling as he sat down, ready to listen.
Hawkfrost sighed, "It's killing someone close to her...Her father to be exact..." he said honestly. Ashfur flinched, but didn't disagree, "I want to hear you out...I..It IS my leader after all..." he said, sounding like he was already regretting it. "I'm so sorry I'm using you...!" Hawkfrost thought, wanting to scream it out loud. "Alright...You lead Firestar to Sky Oak...Alone. When he gets close, hide. Then...I'll put him into the fox trap...killing him." he explained, looking at Ashfur's eyes, expecting to see horror and denial.
Ashfur nodded, his eyes were fired up with acceptance, "If you think that's the best way, I'll do it. Meet me at Sky Oak...I love you." Ashfur said dashing off into the trees. "Oh Ashfur...I'm so sorry...I love you too" he thought as he rushed to Sky Oak, waiting for Firestar and Ashfur.
======You Guys Know What Happens Next...I'll Skip To AFTER The Fight======
Firestar(with help from Brambleclaw) padded out of sight as Ashfur came out of his hiding place, eyes wide with horror and disbelief, "H...Hawkfrost...?" he mewled, padding past the bloody steak, and to the dead RiverClan tom. "A...Are you kidding me...? I get a mate...she crushes my heart...I get another one...He gets killed right in front of me..." Ashfur cried, nuzzling Hawkfrost's limp body.
Hawkfrost sat next to his father, "I failed, and I apologize." he said sadly, looking down at his paws. Now he resided in the Dark Forest like his father. Tigerstar shrugged it off, like he knew what would happen and padded out of sight, leaving Hawkfrost alone. Hawkfrost layed down, "I never got a chance to say it..." he mewled sadly, "I love you too Ashfur...Goodbye..." he said, even though Ashfur would never hear his voice again.
