Bristlefrost's Redemption and Secret- COMPLETED

Epilogue

Lichen walked through the forest, she heard sounds of battle not too far. "Dark!" She gasped and ran through the forest to the screeches of battle. He'll be fine, he'll be fine. She kept telling herself as she ran at full speed. Even though it hurt so much to be running that fast right now she still sped there. When she got there the battle was over but bodies were torn all over the ground. 

"Dark!" She cried running over to his body. "Dark," she sobbed," Dark, who will help me look over our kits!" She also saw the tattered body of her brother Moth. "Moth... NO!" She yelled into the forest. She also happened to see her sister Orange really broken up. "Orange!" She cried running up to her. But instead of being sad she was furious. "Those clan cats will pay for what they did." 

***********************************************************************************************

Lichen was stroking her kits' backs. "They're finally here Dark, and I'll name them what you wanted to," Lichen said. She had given birth to five kittens. "I'll name the smooth mottled gray she-kit what you wanted to Dark... I'll name her Sleek." The little she-kit purred at the sound of her name. "You like that little Sleek?" Sleek purred back. "Alright I'll name the white tom Moth after my brother Dark," She said. "And the light brown tabby she-kit Marigold." "Then the ginger tom what you wanted Dark he'll be named Flame." "And the pretty black she-kit... will be named Dark after you my love. 

                               ***********************************************************

A few moons later

Sleek walked through the forest trying to catch something to bring home to her mother. "I'll catch a rabbit she'll be really proud of that." Sleek just happened to see one not too far off from the forest. She crawled up to it not daring to make any sound. The rabbit saw her and started doubling back into the forest. Sleek charged after it. They raced through the forest getting pretty far from their starting point. She finally pounced giving the killing bite. "Whoo! That was tough but think of the prey I'll bring home." Suddenly a tortoiseshell tom burst out of the undergrowth and tackled her to the ground. 

"Get off me!" She hissed. But to her surprise the tom got off her. "What are you doing you lunatic!" Sleek yelled madly. 

"You were stealing ThunderClans' prey! I had to be a loyal warrior!" The tom argued back. 

"You're from THUNDERCLAN!" Sleek yowled. 

"Yes." 

"Okay then what's your name?" Sleek challenged. 

"My name is Shellfur." He impromptu. 

"Also what's your name," Shellfur asked. 

"Well my name is Sleek thank you very much." 

"Also I really need this prey with leaf-fall here, and my youngest sister Marigold is pretty sick," Sleek said sadly. 

"Well fine," Shellfur said with an interesting hint of a smile on his face. 

"Alright," Sleek said warmly. What they didn't know was it was love at first sight. 

                                   *****************************************************

It was the fourth moon of meeting up with Shellfur and Sleek was smitten. I love him, he is wonderful, the best cat in the world. Sleek sang in her head every time she went to meet up with him. But mother would hate him and that's why it's a secret. Sleek thought, dismayed. When she got there Shellfur was waiting in their usual spot. "Shellfur!" She sang running up to him. "Sleek!" He purred back. "Shellfur there is something I have to tell you," Sleek began," I am expecting your kits!" 

                                *******************************************************

This event takes place before the last two sections. 

Moth was outside playing with Dark and Flame. "I feel so bad for Marigold, she must not feel that good," Moth told his litter mates, concerned. 

"She'll be fine even a 1 moon old could handle that!" Flame said harshly. 

"WELL I for one agree with Moth!" Dark said, bristling. Dark was very protective of her "younger" brother Moth and disagreed a lot with Flame. 

"ARGH! You're so ANNOYING Dark why can't you agree with ANYBODY!" Flame yelled, lashing his tail. 

"Flame calm down!" Lichen their mother hissed from in the den. 

"I'll make sure he pipes down mother!" Dark called back to her. 

"THAT'S IT!!" Flame screeched and jumped on Dark. 

"MOTHER!!", Dark screeched," HELP ME THIS WILD ANIMAL IS ATTACKING ME!!!" Dark cried, yelled, and screamed. "YOU STUPID FOXHEART, MOUSEBRAIN, SNAKE SLITHERING, FOXDUNG!!" Dark screeched. 

I don't think this is going to end well. Moth dreaded. 

"FLAME!" Lichen screamed with horror. "GET OFF!!!!" Lichen yelled louder than anything they had ever heard. "I WILL GET THE THUNDERCLAN CATS TO EAT YOU IF YOU DON'T GET OFF!" Lichen yelled. 

"ALRIGHT mother!" Flame said annoyingly. 

"INSIDE NOW!" Lichen bellowed. 

                                    ****************************************************

It did not turn out well. Flame got banned to his tunnel for 4 whole moons! And Dark got pampered is what you could say. But the plus side was that Marigold was all better and nobody- even Flame- could be mad at her so everything settled down. But more and more frequently Sleek was going out. And one day Moth decided to follow her. And to his surprise Sleek was going in the direction that he dreaded. She's going towards the ThunderClan border! He tried not to think of what he was thinking but he couldn't help it. She's seeing a ThunderClan cat! And Sleek sure was. Eww! A tortoiseshell tom! I mean she could have better taste! But seeing Sleek truly love this cat made him not want to tell his Mother so he didn't.

Last P.O.V I promise! 

Flame was miserable. He was stuck inside his tunnel for 4 whole moons! And he couldn't be out in the blazing sun just the cold dark, damp, moist, yucky tunnels. When you had to sleep and needed shelter they were great but not when you wanted to be outside! Flame sighed, it was going to be a long 4 moons. Just then a little light brown tabby head poked in his tunnel. "Flame?" It asked. "I'm here Marigold," Flame responded gently to his little sister. "Can I come in?" She asked. "Yes," he responded. Marigold bounded in and nestled herself in the curve of Flames' shoulder and belly. "Flame," she asked," will you tell me a story? One about the great battle between the ThunderClan cats and Daddy." "Of course..."
