Chapter three: First Night Together = Young Love
Rainpaw poked the winged, jet-black tom with her paw. "Wake up, lazy bones!" She whispered. Crowpaw inwardly groaned then stood up. "Ok... What?" The young tom asked. "I was going to sneak out of camp. Want to come?" Crowpaw thought for a second. "What about Brairflame and Leafstorm?" "We could fly, but I don't have wings..." Rainpaw looked down at her paws. Crowpaw lifted her chin up with his tail, then padded out of the apprentices den.
The blue-grey apprentice followed her friend. "Climb onto my back. I'm pretty strong, you know." Crowpaw whispered. Rainpaw didn't hesitate and climbed up. Unfolding his wings, he said. "Hang on. This will be a time of your life." She braced herself for flight, and before she knew it, she was in the air. The breeze ruffled her fur, but the young she-cat didn't mind. Crowpaw didn't fly that fast, so he wouldn't lose her.
The young tom flew above a cloud, dragging his tail along the cotton looking mass of water. "I can't believe it... I'm flying!" Rainpaw said in awe. Crowpaw flew downwards, knowing he could see the slightest of sunlight. The tom shrugged then prepared to land near his favorite spot in the forest; Moonlight Hallow. Crowpaw landed and let Rainpaw climb off of him. He folded his wings, then looked at a hole in the ground. "I've never been here. What is this place?" The blue-grey she-cat asked. "Moonlight Hallow. Its my favorite spot in the forest at night." He said, and his friend nodded.
Crowpaw padded to the hole and went in. "Come on. You don't want to miss being here." Rainpaw shrugged and followed him in. The two apprentices went through the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel, there was a little room. "This is it?" Rainpaw asked. "Not entirely. Look," Some moonlight was shining through a pile of leaves and twigs on the celing. With his tail, he cleared them away from the roof, and moonlight shined through.
"It is said StarClan grants eternal love to two cats here. This place has two names; Moonlight Hallow and Eternal Love's Hallow. I prefer Moonlight Hallow though." Crowpaw explains. Rainpaw hesitates, but she pads up to him and licks his cheek. Then, the blue-grey apprentice backs away, and runs through the tunnel, trying to get back to camp. "Rainpaw!" He calls, his voice echoing off the walls. The tom squeezes himself through the rooftop hole and covers it. Unfolding his wings he flies as fast as he can to find Rainpaw.
Finally seeing her running through the trees, he flies faster to try and stop her. Skidding in the dirt, he sees Rainpaw running towards him. She freezes, some tears in her eyes. "I-I'm sorry!" She cried. Padding over to her, he wrapped a wing around her to calm her. "Its ok... Lets get back to camp..." Looking at the slowly rising sun, Rainpaw nodded then climbed on his back. The jet-black tom flew upwards, heading for camp. Rainpaw fell asleep a little as they started to land. Crowpaw set her down behind the apprentices den, then grabbed her scruff, carrying the young she-cat into the den. Setting her down in her nest, he whispered, "Sweet dreams..." Then he curled up in his nest next to hers.
