Chapter Ten:

Moonrise

Thanx reviewers! This chapter is about Cinderpelt and Ashpaw! I have no clue why, but I luv this couple so!

Cinderpelt padded out of her den, being cautious not to wake Yellowfang, and sat under Sivlerpelt, looking up at the moon, in the middle of the skies. She sighed. In the moon, she saw the face of Ashpaw, smiling down at her. The vision slowly vanished, as someone padded up to sit beside her. Cinderpelt turned her head.

"Ashpaw!" she whispered, and nuzzled his light gray pelt. He nuzzled her soft pelt.

"Do you, well, would you, uhm, go for a walk with me?" asked Ashpaw.

"Sure," Cinderpelt mewed. Ashpaw smiled, and stood up. Cinderpelt stood up, too, and intwined her tail with his. Cinderpelt's soft fur shone silver in the moonlight. Ashpaw was enchanted. He loved Cinderpelt more than anything. More than the skies. More than the moon. More than life. In the shade of a holly bush, the berries were casting soft round shadows on the ground. A small whole in the bush gave room for just two cats to enter. Ashpaw lead the way in. There was a bramble thicket with an open top, and the moonlight reflected into the moss underneath.

"Well, do you like it?" asked Ashpaw.

"Like it? Ashpaw, it's beautiful!" exclaimed Cinderpelt. Ashpaw smiled. He and Cinderpelt lay down in the bed. He curled up, and Cinderpelt lay her head on his side. She let out sweet, soft purrs. Cinderpelt took one last look up at the stars, and saw them dance like diamonds, and her heart beat a soft, shallow toon, the same toon that Ashpaw felt inside.

Dawn came. Spottedleaf stirred in her den, and yawned. Her beautiful amber eyes opened to see the light streaming throught the bramble covering of her den. She stood up, and yawned. She padded out from her small den. Runningnose and Littlecloud slept soundly in the moss beds. Spottedleaf stepped out into the sunshine. There was a rustling outside the camp, and Cinderpelt came sneaking in with Ashpaw. She gave him an affectionate lick, and he nuzzled her pelt. She was amazed, but how could she scold Cinderpelt when she was breaking the warrior code herself? Cinderpelt ran into the main den, and Spottedleaf hid in the shadows. She looked around, and than disappeared through the ferns that covered the entry to Yellowfang and her own den.

What do u think? Should I do a Yellowfang/Runningnose pairing, a Yellowfang/Redtail pairing, or leave Yellowfang single to deal with Spottedleaf and Cinderpelt's forbidden affairs. U decide!
