Hey Wolf Master here, so I hope you're enjoying the story so far. And I've already though of a name for a sequel with a new prophecy. Don't worry, I don't plan ending this story soon, but I'm giving you something to look forward to. Ok the story takes place after the last battle, but it's what I thought would happened and I started it before I read the book. I've read the last hope and I'm just letting you know the setting and apologize for not setting it sooner. Anyways on with the story.
Chapter 8: Why do You Smell Funny?
It was dawn, Jayfeather looked both ways, no cat in sight. He dashed across the clearing, he reached the den.
Wheeewww Jayfeather thought, I made it. He realized that his fur was extremely ruffled. He quickly groomed it down. You'd think after a moon, I'd of learned to groom, man she is so exited, and she's not even pregnant. When he was done grooming, he settled in to sleep. He woke with a jolt when he felt a paw poking him.
"Jayfeather, get up, come on not even you can sleep till sun high." Jayfeather got up, still tired mentally and physically from resisting Half Moon's seduction methods, (Giggty) which were pretty successful. Fortunately, Jayfeather had enough will to resist her, no matter how much he wanted to give in to her.(Giggty) Rising to his feet. He stiffed a moan. He didn't want anyone suspecting anything. "Come on, it's not a battle to get up, I should know, I had to every day."
"Just shut up Ivypool," Jayfeather groaned, "I'll be up in a moment." Ivypool seemed satisfied and left. Jayfeather sighed and got up. He padded out of his den, into his blindness, and to the fresh kill piled. He smelled a nice vole and grabbed it. He started to eat when he sensed Lionblaze coming by.
"Hey Jayfeather," Lionblaze meowed. "what's up?"
"Hey Lionblaze," Jayfeather replied tiredly.
"What's wrong, bad sleep?" Lionblaze asked.
"Yeah, I couldn't fall asleep, tossed and turned all night because of Half…. I mean the wind."
"What, you started saying half something, it's not half-moon yet." Lionblaze inquired.
"Uhhh, it's nothing," Jayfeather replied. Lionblaze gave him a puzzled look.
"Ok," Lionblaze meowed, "but if something's bothering you, you can always to talk to me about it." Lionblaze padded away and Jayfeather let out a sigh of relief. That was a close one. Jayfeather thought. He grabbed his vole and went back to his den.
Later that day Jayfeather had just returned from collecting herbs when he saw Leafpool and Sagemind talking. He put away the herbs and decided to check on how him mother was doing. He padded over to the two cats.
"Hello Jayfeather," Sagemind meowed.
"Hi Jayfeather," Leafpool meowed.
"Hello," Jayfeather greeted. "So, what were you talking about?"
"Oh, we were just discussing different herbs and how other clans use them. Your mother knows a lot." Sagemind meowed.
"Why thank you," Leafpool purred. She turned to Jayfeather. "So how are you Jayfeather, any dreams from Starclan?"
"No, nothing yet," Jayfeather replied. Then Leafpool sniffed the air and her face frowned.
"What's that smell?" She sniffed for it and then sniffed Jayfeather. "You smell different, I know it but I can't put my finger on it."
Oh no, Jayfeather thought, She must smell Half Moons heat on me! (Giggty)
"Leafpool, what ever you're smelling we can figure it out later. Jayfeather probable just fell in some strange smelling bush or tree; it's nothing to worry about." Sagemind meowed, knowing what Leafpool was smelling but trying to cover for Jayfeather.
"You're right love, its nothing to worry about, Jayfeather, why don't you go to the lake and get that scent off of you," Leafpool meowed.
"Yeah will do," Jayfeather meowed. As they left, Jayfeather notice it was getting late. Half Moon would be waiting. He sighed and stealthily left the camp, his blindness returned helping his escape. Soon it returned and he entered Half Moon's cave, she was waiting.
"Hello Jay's Wing," Half Moon purred. "Long day? Are you to tired for me?" (Giggty) Jayfeather stiffened and looked around. He notice how large the cave actually was! The whole clan could fit in there!
"My mother smelled you on me today,( Giggty) fortunately she couldn't tell what it was and Sagemind distracted her," Jayfeather meowed. "In all senses I did have a long day."
"Hmmmm, well," Half Moon purred seductively. " I could help relieve your stress." (Giggty)
"Half Moon, I have a strange felling something's coming, I don't think now is the best time." Jayfeather meowed softly.
'So," She replied. "You've beaten the Dark Forest, what else is there to worry about?"
"Ok, I see your point," Jayfeather paused and took a moment to think. "Ok, I have a suggestion."
"I'm listening,"
"At the next full moon I'll, I'll mate with you,"(Giggity) Half Moon's eyes light up. "But, you must keep yourself in check until then."
"I think I can wait that long," Half Moon purred.
"Good, now let's good to sleep."
The two cuddled and fell asleep, that night both Jayfeather and Half Moon dreamed about there soon to be kits.
Well that's that, so tell me how you liked it and I'm going to take a pole for the next week if I should keep author noting Giggty, if not I'll edit all them out from each chapter. So R&R. And please no flames.
