Warriors New Rivals
Chapter 8
Splashheart wandered through the forest, not a creature was stirring in the silent night and the moon left silhouettes of the trees on the forest floor.
"Splashheart?" A voice suddenly called to her from the other side of the stream.
"Birchpaw!" She bounded across the stream in one leap.
"I'm Birchpelt now!" He exclaimed.
"Oh, well it's great to see you," She replied, lowering her head to hide a blush.
"We can't talk here, let's go to the Clans Camp," he advised.
"Ok," she whispered back. They pelted through the forest in between Streamclan and Roarclan until they arrived at the Clans Camp.
"Wow this place is so big when there are no cats here," Birchpelt exclaimed.
"There are us two," Splashheart pointed out.
Birchpelt jumped up onto the great log. "I am Birchstar, leader of Streamclan!" His meow ran throughout the clearing.
"I'm just Splashheart…" she muttered.
Birchpelt jumped down from the great log and gave Splashheart swift lick on the forehead.
"You're everything but just Splashheart," He purred.
"We shouldn't be doing this," Splashheart edged away from Birchpelt.
"If we weren't meant to do this then why hasn't Starclan stopped us?" Birchpelt leaned in closer to Splashheart signalling with his tail up at the sky.
"I'm glad to know a cat like you," Splashheart laid her head on Birchpelt's shoulder.
"I'm glad to have met a cat like you," Birchpelt put his chin on top of Splashheart's head.
"Wait, before we continue, how did you know I was Splashheart?" Splashheart questioned Birchpelt instantly pulling away from him causing him to collapse on the ground.
"Ow, I found out from Lilysnow," He grunted.
"What?!" Splashheart exclaimed.
"I'm a medicine cat," Birchpelt supressed a mroww of laughter.
"Oh…" Splashheart gave her chest fur a couple of embarrassed licks.
"I should go, it's nearly dawn." Splashheart gave Birchpelt one last lick on his cheek before padding back to camp.
"Wait! Meet at the stream tomorrow?" Birchpelt pleaded. Splashheart simply replied with a nod.
