Things had been going normally for all cats in Streamclan. The usual duties were being taken care of and all had been prosperous for the clan dwelling cats. Yet just like everything, not all good things last. Shadowstar, Streamclan's jet black leader, had been growing worried when scents of cats from Treeclan began to start crossing the borders. A dream had come to him recently as well, though he wasnt sure if it was from Starclan or not.

The black tom awoke one morning with this worry constantly on his mind. As he left his den he prepared to call out for a patrol to assemble. Yet he took a moment to observe his clan. His deputy had been awake since sun up. Shadowstar smiled warmly at the long haired black tom. Not to far away Rainpelt, his medicine cat, rested on her favorite rock sunning her belly. Her apprentice Eaglepaw was nowhere to be seen and perhaps he was in their den.

Movement at the warrior den entrance let Shadowstar know that another warrior was up. A golden pelt, gleaming in the sun shine, greeted the leaders sapphire eyes. It was Goldheart, looking just as ready for a new day as any other warrior. Shadowstar did not miss the look in his deputy's eyes when Goldheart came in to view.

"Ebonycloud," Shadowstar called out. "Do you have a patrol ready? We need to check Treeclan border again. They have been moving closer recently."

Ebonycloud snapped to attention, and glanced at Shadowstar. "Of course," Ebonycloud turned toward Goldheart and smiled sweetly. "Would you care to join us Goldheart?" The golden pelted she cat gave a shy grin and nodded. "Good," the ice blue eyes tom purred. "Bring you apprentice Roughpaw with you. It would be a good idea for her to get some more experience."

Goldheart nodded and was about to turn to find the young tabby she cat, but was nearly startled at her apprentice being right there with bright eyes. Goldheart smiled and tilted her head. "You up for a patrol," Roughpaw grinned widely at that and nodded vigorously.

Ebonycloud turned and gave Shadowstar a nod of approval. Shadowstar nodded back and flicked his tail for them to move out. The patrol exited the fern entrance and headed to the eastern part of the territory. They moved off in silence but after a while the smell of something odd hit Shadowstar. The leader stopped and investigated it further. The rest of the patrol followed his example and stopped. "Its smells like... a badger... and rogues," Shadowstar mewed finally. Ebonyclouds fur immediately started bristling.

"We need to follow the smell! I can do it. I have the best nose in the clan." The long furred deputys ice blue eyes glowed at the challenge of tracking down the enemy. Shadowstar grinned at his enthusiasm and nodded. Without another word Ebonycloud lifted his nose to the wind and began to track the scent. It was slow progress through the dense forest but eventually the scent led the clan cats to their northern border. A large crumbled rock pile signaled the edge of Streamclan, but gave them a sweet promise. The Mooncave was nestled in to the rock pile. Deep inside its cold belly was the Moonspike. The large glowing stone had allowed Shadowstar to gain his nine lives as leader.

Ebonycloud stopped and turned his eyes over his shoulder. "The scent stops here. I lost them." The deputy had a down hearted look but only for a moment. "We should head back." Shadowstar studied the rock pile for a moment longer but nodded in agreement.

"Alright, let's go," he sighed and turned away.

 

Ebonycloud trotted back in to camp with a frown on his face. He had done his best to track down the rogues but only ended up finding the rock pile. There was no sign of that badger that Shadowstar had scented either. Though the scent had been a bit sickly and stale, perhaps it was a dead badger. Well, it was best not to mope about. Ebonycloud stood taller and trotted in to the middle of camp and called out, "Anyone up for a hunting patrol? The pile is getting a tad bit low." When no cat immediately jumped up at his offer he sighed.

The deputy trotted toward his favorite spot in the shade of the medicine cat den, yet before he had a chance to lay down the pretty golden warrior called Goldheart stepped up. The edges of her lips pulled up in to a bright smile.

"I would like to take you up on that offer Ebonycloud," she purred. Ebonycloud studied her face for a moment before he smiled back as well.
            "Great," he chuckled, "Lets see if we can get a few others to join us to." The black tom turned his eyes every which way looking for volunteers. Yet when no one else stood up he shrugged. "Guess this means you and I get to hunt... all alone," he winked and hurriedly brushed by her. His hearted pounded at his own foolish flirty words.

Little did Ebonycloud know, but Goldheart's own heart was pounding at his words. She nodded to herself and quickly followed behind her deputy. Ebonycloud waited at the entrance to the camp and smiled warmly as Goldheart brushed by, barely touching his pelt.  Heat flushed the tom's face but he said nothing about it to his companion.

"W-where should we hunt?" Goldheart chuckled, hiding a bit of embarrassment.

Ebonycloud heard the hesitation in the she cat's voice and it only made him more nervous yet he managed to keep his voice level, "How about the river? We can find our way through the forest after that."

Goldheart nodded with a smile and turned toward the western side of the territory.

 

Back at the camp, Rainpelt had gotten her morning sunning done and had trotted back in to her den. The vines that marked the entrance hung limply like a curtain. She pushed past them and felt her paws slip in to the worn floor. Indents in the floor told tales of countless medicine cats that had lived in the den. A smile crept across the blue-gray she cat's face without realizing it.

A small growl at the back of the den caught the she cat's attention. A small mrrow of laughter pushed past her lips as her blue eyes caught the sight of her apprentice Eaglepaw was sorting through herbs with his always grumpy frown. "Eaglepaw!" she called out to him and when the tom turned his head toward her, her heart fluttered. The silver centers of his blue eyes pinpointed exactly where she was standing. It still startled the medicine cat at how even the sightless tom could seem to still have use of his eyes.

Without a word the dark gray tom stood and trotted over with confident steps. "Yes Rainpelt," he dipped his head respectfully, as if he wasn't addressing a friend. Rainpelt frowned slightly at that thought. Yet despite the frown, her eyes never left the young tom's dark gray pelt. She had once or twice felt herself grow self conscious at the attention she paid to him. She chose to justify her glances with the fact that he was blind. He couldn't scold her since he couldnt tell she was always watching him.

Yet there was a little part of her mind shouting, why should I have to justify myself? There shouldnt even be a need to justify myself! All I need to do is keep my emotions in better check. Not to hard, in fact it's so simple! There's nothing to it. But even with that argument in place she still stared at him longingly. Her own eyes betrayed her own unknown desire.

While Rainpelt was in her own thoughts, Eaglepaw's ears flicked self consciously, "Uh... I was just... uh...Would you like some fresh-kill?" Rainpelt blushed a bit under her fur at how cute the young tom was acting.

The she cat flicked her black ears self consciously, like he done, "Uh... yeah sure." Rainpelt wrapped her tail around her paws and gave a few swift licks to her chest, hoping to give herself something to do. Eaglepaw nodded and trotted away to go to the fresh-kill pile.

A sound at the entrance to the medicine cat den sounded making Rainpelt almost jump out of her fur. Shadowstar's dark face peered in with worry plastered all over it. The she cat had felt warmth spread in her chest at the sight of her dear old friend but with worry only made her hesitate.

"Rainpelt," the leader started, "I think I have had a dream from Starclan... I need to know for sure though." Rainpelt felt the duty of being a medicine cat flare inside her. She nodded and beckoned the tom further in to the den.

"What was your dream about Shadowstar?" The she cat questioned.

 

            Ebonycloud and Goldheart trotted on the edge of the territory in an awkward silence. The silence was killing both warriors but neither would speak up to break it. Finally Ebonycloud managed to find his tongue and mewed, "So uh... do you want to make the first kill or shall I?" Goldheart cast a glance in his direction and smiled.

            "Sure," she purred. With that she turned and scented the air. Ebonycloud admired how easily hunting came to the she cat. In another moment Goldheart dropped in to a crouch and stalked forward. She disappeared behind a bush and with moments a small thud sounded behind a tree. Returning with a smile, Goldheart plopped a vole at his paws.

            Ebonycloud's eyes brimmed with delight and he chirped, "Great catch." He pressed his muzzle to hers to congratulate her and only just realized how stupid and embarrassing the gesture was. He pulled away quickly and cleared his throat, "My turn." He quickly turned and trotted away. Once again the deputy did not notice the shocked but completely thrilled expression on the she cat's face. She gave him a longing stare as he wandered off to find something for himself.

            Ebonycloud cursed his own foolishness. He should have just come right out and said how he felt. Well, it was about time he grew his courage and told her. The tom lifted his head high and puffed out his chest. He would get his kill and then he would tell her. Smelling the air, Ebonycloud scented out a mouse. Easily he dropped in to a crouch and crept forward. The sound of scuffling came from up ahead and a grin touched the deputys face.

            The tom wriggled his haunches and launched himself forward. He landed on target and killed the mouse with one swift blow. Just behind him he heard the bushes rustle.

            "Great job," Goldheart purred warmly. The compliment made Ebonycloud's face flush. Yet he didn't have enough time to think about the heat in his face because Goldheart was now pressing her muzzle to his. Yet this time, neither pulled apart. Ebonycloud's heart leapt for joy. This was his chance! Slowly but surely the deputy snaked his tail around to hers. He gently began to entwine it with hers. An elegant smile touched his lips when he felt the golden she cat's tail complying with the touch and began to entwine with his as well.

            For a long time neither parted from the muzzle touch or the entwined tails, but Ebonycloud had to tell her. He pulled his face away and met her bright blue eyes with his ice blue ones. He wanted to blurt it out but he felt his tongue betray him, "I-I hope moments like this never have to end."

            Goldheart smiled back softly and looked to her paws. "E-Ebonycloud" she started, "I've been meaning to tell you something..." Her eyes turned back up to him with longing ever present in them. "I-I think... for a long time now that is... That I have been..... That is... I have fallen in love with you." Hope flared in her eyes. Her heart was open for him t take now. She trusted him to accept her and if he would refuse, she would be crushed.

            Ebonycloud's eyes opened wide before they became soft again. "Oh Goldheart," he breathed. He pushed his face back to hers and purred, "Oh Goldheart, you dont know how long I've wanted to hear that. Now that I have you I don't ever want to lose you. I swear I will make you the happiest she cat that ever lived!" Goldheart's chest heaved with joyous laughs.

            "Oh Ebonycloud, I have loved you since the day I laid eyes on you. I dont ever want anything to come between us," she mewed softly in to his ear. Yet neither realized at that moment, they wanted something that would defy fate. The newly made happy couple sat in peace and love for a long time, but all things must come to an end.

            Ebonycloud pulled away from her and purred happily, "Come on my dear. I know that there is going to be a lot of gossip and chatter when we get back to camp. I really don't care what they say as long as I have you, but for now let's just finish the hunt." He winked playfully at her and licked her ear. With that the two stood and gazed at each other before they turned to finish the hunt.

 

Holy crap Ebbs! That's amazing! I totally love it! It's amazing!!! =D
