Happy Fourth, everyone! Hope you enjoy this chapter! This is the part where the story starts to match the description!

Note: There's...certain content in this chapter that might disturb a few readers...Just thought you might like to know.

Another Note: I'm going to be twisting the plot a bit, so most of the stuff in the following chapters probably didn't happen in the books.

Chapter 7

"Kite, are you alright?" Odin asked as Kite leapt into her garden. Her fur stood on end and her tail lashed back and forth.

"Does it look like I'm alright?" Kite snapped, flattening her ears.

"What's wrong?" Odin asked, leaping down beside Kite.

"It's Glacier," Kite replied. "He's just so...so...ugh! I can't stand him! He's so overprotective, and he just won't leave me alone! He wants me to be his mate, but I'm too young and he's too young and -"

Odin placed his tail across Kite's mouth to silence her. "Tell Glacier you're not interested," he suggested.

"You think I haven't tried that yet?" Kite meowed. "I've tried everything I can think of! He just won't go away!"

Odin sat there silently for a moment. "Did he do anything bad to you?" he asked after a moment.

"No," Kite replied. "Why?"

"I just wanted to make sure," Odin replied. "Well, I suppose you'll just have to wait until he gets the hint. If he violates you in any way, come and see me." He gave Kite an encouraging lick on the ear and leapt onto the fence and back into his garden.

Kite crawled back under her hawthorn bush and dropped off to sleep once more.

It was moonrise when Kite awoke again. She stretched and crept out of the bush. The stars glittered above her. Kite thought of Silverstream, the RiverClan cat that lived in StarClan. Had the rest of her family joined her yet? Just how many cats lived in StarClan? Would she go to StarClan when she died? These questions and more raced around in her head as she leapt down into the forest. She felt her paws dragging her toward the heather bushes that encircled Glacier's hideout.

"Glacier?" Kite called as she stuck her head through the entrance. There was silence. Kite crept in and padded toward the edge of the pond. The silver fish were still swimming around, seeming perfectly content. Kite sighed, feeling a pang of guilt. Glacier had brought her to the most beautiful place she had ever seen and proposed his love for her, and she had turned him down flat.

I mess everything up, she thought. A sudden rustle in the bushes made Kite look up. Behind her stood Glacier, his fur standing on end, a mouse dangling by its tail from his jaws. When Glacier saw her, he dropped the mouse and gasped.

"Kite!" he cried. "What are you doing here?"

"I came to apologize," Kite replied. "I was rude, and I realize that now. You were so kind to me, and all I did was hurt you.I'm really, really sorry, and I hope you can forgive me."

Glacier dipped his head and padded to Kite's side. "Do you want to be mates now?"

Kite bowed her head and sighed. "I don't think so," she replied. "I mean, I'm old enough to be made a warrior in ThunderClan, and you're eighteen moons old. You're so much older than me, and besides, Rain is closer to you in age."

"But I don't want her like I want you," Glacier meowed, pressing his muzzle against Kite's shoulder. "And I will have you." Before Kite knew what was happening, she was lying on her stomach, and Glacier was on top of her.

"What are you doing?" Kite cried. But she didn't need to ask. She already knew. She could feel Glacier working his way into her. She trembled, yowling in pain as Glacier starting going in and out. Kite struggled, tossing her head and screeching, but it was no use. After what seemed like an eternity, Glacier released her. Kite rolled onto her side, reduced to mewling in fear and pain.

"There," Glacier meowed, nodding his head in satisfaction. "Now you're mine."

Kite closed her eyes in exhaustion, but was unable to sleep. When she finally did drop into a restless sleep, she dreamed of Glacier, his eyes alight with pleasure. She was trying to run from him, but couldn't move. She was trapped by him. She knew she couldn't escape now, not after what had happened. She belonged to him now. There was no choice. She was his mate now, no matter what she did or where she went. She was bound to him forever by his will.
