Chapter 13

"WHAT!" Mintstorm said. "A Prophecy! You have to be joking! Why would you be part of a prophecy!"

Tigerstripe stiffened "I don't know! I just am! I didn't choose to be in one!"

"How is it hard then? To take care of kits?" she asked. "Can you still love our kits? Can you still love me?

"I can still love you. I still do. I just can't let you or my kits be a distraction. I love you and our kits with all my heart, but times are hard." Tigerstripe murmured.

Mintstorm felt guilty. She yelled at the only cat she loved. "I understand, you have my full support. I'll do whatever it takes to help you. Whatever you need." She said.

"Thank you." Tigerstripe murmured.

Bramblethorn purred "Now that that's settled. Lets eat some fresh-kill."

"Alright!" the rest of them said in unison. And they each got a piece of fresh-kill.

-Line break-

Tigerstripe walked outside camp. It was a cool night. The moon was shining into the trees, the light reflecting off the puddles that were formed the night before. Everything was perfect.

He walked over to the black rocks and he sat on the top one. He looked out to the grass and leaves on the ground. Each leaf was green. That meant to him that every cat is the same in a way. Even if he was in a prophecy, him and his brothers are that same as every other cat in a clan. Loyal.

Tigerstripe sitting on that rock made him think. Being part of the prophecy made him realize that he needed to live his life. That's how he realized that he loved Mintstorm. Being part of the prophecy told him to live his life. Because he only had one.

He sighed and walked home. He needed some sleep. He walked through the grass, leaves and trees, still thinking.

He would love Mintstorm and their kits with all his heart. Prophecy or not. He was still allowed to love.

Tigerstripe crawled into the bramble thicket. He walked quietly into the warriors den, and laid in his nest.

"I love you Mintstorm" Tigerstripe murmured, before drifting into sleep. "I always will."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Cute ending.

Next chapter is Mintstorm having her kits. And the three will get apprentices!

Please review… It loves it.

You know…the button.
