Darkstar's love ☆Complete☆

Chapter 19

Tigerlilly looked at Darkstorm with wide blue eyes. "Well I suppose it can be arranged but where should we meet?" Darkstorm felt his ears warm up after Tigerlilly agreed

"Well how about we meet by that hallow oak tree by the river?" Tigerlilly looked at Darkstorm with love in her eyes. "The one surrounded by the red flowers?"

Darkstorm nodded excited as his pelt burned for a moment with Tigerlilly. "Yes that exact one. We can meet when our clanmates are asleep."

Tigerlilly purred as if agreeing to the plan without speaking. Both cats soon heard the call of their leaders calling to go back home. Before leaving Darkstorm nuzzled Tigerlilly before following his clanmates.

He spotted woodpaw looking at him suspiciously but she quickly turned away and went back to talking with Applepaw as if she didn't suspect Darkstorm.

Once he was back at camp he went straight to his nest exhausted but he had to check on his littermates to make sure they were asleep.

He looked at Beetleleap's and Raccoonclaw's to see them both there fast asleep. Knowing his littermates were ok Darkstorm went back to his own nest excited for tomorrow.

Feeling a nudge on his ribs Darkstorm opened his eyes to see Shrewleaf. "Come on its sunhigh and you need to hunt." Feeling embarrassed Darkstorm got up and stretched.

Padding out of the warrior's den he saw his clanmates awake. Looking around he spotted Chippedclaw assigning hunting patrols.

Upset he overslept he went over to hopefully make up for some time loss. Chippedclaw noticed Darkstorm and nodded to Poppywing.

Understanding Darkstorm padded towards Poppywing in silence before he spotted Frostpaw, blackpelt, and bonefur. Poppywing nodded and led.

Darkstorm padded slowly by Poppywing quiet and awkward. He soon smelled the windclan border. As bonefur marked the border with a scent marker Darkstorm looked around.

Darkstorm padded towards Frostpaw as he sniffed some braken. "Hey Poppywing this braken smells funny". Hearing Frostpaw's calls she padded over.

Darkstorm watched her nudge the braken with her nose. "Oh that scent is a owl." Darkstorm watched Frostpaw look at Poppywing with fear.

Poppywing sniffed the air as she looked around. "By them smell it is fresh I'll warn Morningstar and Hazelflower so the kits are safe."

The rest of the patrol nodded and continued on. Looking around Darkstorm sniffed around. Once the patrol finished they headed back to camp.

When they got back to camp a hunting patrol has just arrived all carrying prey. Once he settled down with a lizard besides his littermates he spotted Woodpaw, Applepaw, and Frostpaw leaving the camp with their mentors close by.

Thinking about it the three apprentices were apprenticed a moon after him. Sighing about it he began to eat the lizard. He finished and began to doze off.

Feeling Beetleleap's tounge grooming his fur he relaxed more. But remembering to meet up with Tigerlilly made him more excited as he dreamed of the silver cat.

Hearing the yowl of Morningstar Darkstorm got up immediately but stopped when he turned to see Beetleleap with a surprised look. "Darkstorm are you ok? You look like you saw a badger."

Realizing his neck fur was up he relaxed seeing he was in the camp. "Yeah everything's ok Morningstar's call just spooked me." Beetleleap's eyes still full of concern nodded as she walked towards the pinebranch.

A bit drowsy Darkstorm walked towards the pinebranch to watch the ceremony then go to sleep. The clan went silent as the three apprentices sat shaking with excitement.

"I Morningstar leader of ShadowClan call upon my warrior ancestors to look down on these apprentices. They have trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code and I commend them to you as warriors in their turn."

The apprentices froze as they watched the leader closely. "Woodpaw, Applepaw, and Frostpaw do you promise to uphold the warrior code and to protect and defend your clan even at the cost of your life?"

The apprentices seemed scared to speak but they eventually spoke with confidence. "I do." Hearing all three of the apprentices Morningstar nodded and continued.

"Then by the powers of starclan I give you your warrior names. Woodpaw from this moment on you shall be known as Woodheart ShadowClan honors your loyalty and intelligence."

Darkstorm stopped his tail from lashing after hearing her name. Woodheart wasn't loyal she was a Traitor she had feelings for a medicine cat for starclan's sake.

Ignoring her he listened for Frostpaw's and Applepaw's names. " Frostpaw you have trained long and hard you shall be known as Frostfury ShadowClan honors your pride and ambition."

Frostfury padded away and sat beside Woodheart as they waited for Applepaw's name. "Applepaw I give you your warrior name. From here on out you shall be known as Appleshade ShadowClan honors you for your energy and loyalty."

The clan called for the new warriors but the loudest was Poppywing and Firefoot. Poppywing immediately ran to her kits and showered them in licks of a proud mother.

Firefoot sat besides Appleshade and congratulated him as she gave him a swift lick on the ear. Excited for tonight he went to his nest and curled up pretending to fall asleep.

Feeling his clanmates begin to sleep he slowly shuffled a bit but froze when he felt his littermates curl around him. Wondering how he would leave he began to slowly get up and if any cat asked he would say he was going to the dirt place.

Darkstorm carefully placed his paws on the cool floor of the den as he maneuvered around his clanmates. Hearing a slight hiss from a nest he looked to see he stepped on a tail.

Quickly apologizing Darkstorm padded out of the den. When he was out he went into a hunters crouch he slowly put one pad in front of the other and looked for the three new warriors.

Appleshade was falling asleep on his paws while Woodheart and Frostfury kept straight and tall. Immediately Darkstorm decided to walk through the nursery. As he slowly walked towards a hoot of an owl made his spine prickle.

Seeing that Frostpaw and Woodheart were distracted Darkstorm took that chance to sneak into the nursery. As he snuck in he spotted a tiny crack in the nursery wall that leads out of the camp.

Immediately Darkstorm clawed at it until it was big enough for him and squeezed his way through. Looking back he saw some of his fur clinging on still he picked at the brambles to remove any fur.

After he was done he began to weave the brambles and thorns together. After it was some what back the way it was he looked towards the woods ready to meet Tigerlilly.
