Stuck in your secrets (Tigerstar x Reader) DISCONTINUED

Chapter 17

     The dark shadows of ShadowClans territory loomed across the place, letting only the slightest scratch of light escape into the camp. It all felt so dark for you, but your mate seemed unbelievably comfortable among the shades, his chest puffed out with no fear sparkling in his eyes. The dark brown tabby seemed to be born here, among all those darkening shadows.

     You kept your head up, padding by Tigerclaw with your two kits tumbling by your paws. A slight fear might have been there, somewhere in you, hidden from the sight of the others. What else could somecat feel in an enemy's territory? 

     Those few days passed, leaving you with the change to join the Clan. Tigerclaw, of course, accepted the offer, with the consequences of him becoming quite favored by some of the ShadowClan warriors.

     The tom seemed to be focused on something, his eyes giving nothing away, but determination and pure ambition, still he kept his secrets hidden, only sharing it with you. Those ember depths of the tom seemed cold, yet so firm and warm.

     You gazed after him as he left the camp, ahead of all the following cats of the patrol. Anxiety never left your side, stayed with you with every breath you took. It was not a pleasant experience being stuck in the dirty secrets of the tabby tom, and the urge to just yell it all out and get rid of the heavy weight on your back just wouldn't go away even after seeing that manipulating, yet loving look of Tigerclaw.

     Everything with the tom started from early kithood, and now... The sight of what came out of it was just terrifying, but what could you had done? Let the secrets out and leave the rest of your life in fear, knowing the amber eyes will stalk after you for moons until the bloody claws hook into your fur? Even a single thought of it was terrible, but the fact that it all could become reality just for letting out a few small words...

     You shook your head, trying to get everything just washed away to the back of your mind, scratching your claws on the solid ground of the camp. You padded slowly to the nursery, settling down with your tail colided by your side. Bramblekit and Tawnykit were playing with the other kits in the nursery, with a heavy sigh you let your head fall on your paws, closing the E/C eyes of yours.

     The cooling breeze that escaped inside the well-protected nursery lapped at your P/C colored fur, the dark shade of the den made it seem like the night has already took place in the forest.

     Letting the sweet dreams carry your worries away, you drifted off to sleep. But instead of sweet dreams, you found yourself in a nightmare, a blood soaked nightmare. All you felt was fear, like somecat was watching you from shadows. Neverending screams filled your head as you looked around with eyes like slits, catching no sight of cat, just an empty, spare space...
