The Four Clans // Silentsea's Secret

Chapter XI

As the sun rose Mosspaw send Stromrun and Silentsea to their nests. At around Sunhigh Smokepelt woke them up for a Patrol. "Stormrun, you Silentsea and Lightwhisker will Patrol alongside the Mythclan border. Inform me if you see anything unusual." His Meow was deep as he spoke. Stormrun nodded and Called Lightwhisker from across the clearing where she shared tongues with Goldenflame. Lightwhisker looked up, then gave goldenflame a polite Nod before Joining her friends at the camp entrance. 

"Lets get going. we dont want to Dissapoint on your first Warrior Duty" Silentsea purred and followed Stormrun out. They began to sprint passed the sunny rocks and through the forest to reach the border. When they arrived they slowed down into a slow trot. Slowly making their was alongside the border, placing scent marks now and then. They stopped from time to time to hunt and eat before continueing to patrol. A while later Stormrun had cought the scent of a rabit and went to hunt it, leaving Lightwhisker and Silentsea alone at the border.

On the other side of the border, inside the Pine forest there was a rustling. Lightwhisker and Silentsea stared into the dark wood, their ears and tail standing up in allert. Not soon after a beautifull white she-cat and a Redishbrown tom appeared on the other side. Lightwhisker tilted her head. "I know you want to Patrol alone Cinderblaze but patrols always are with two or three cats" The She-cat meowed. "Cilderblaze?" Silentsea spoke and the two Mythclan cats turned to them. "Oh a Coveclan patrol. Hello" The Mythclan she-cat meowed over the border. "Are there only two of you?" she asked, Lightwhisker shook her head and Silentsea spoke for her. "We are three our clanmate got distracted by a Hare but should be back any second." She said while keeping eye contact. 

"Silentpaw?" The red tom asked. The White she-cat looked from the Red tom over to the Greyishbrown she-cat and back. "do you two know each other?" she asked.
"We do. we bumped into each other at the gathering and in battle. Plus my name isnt Silentpaw. Its silentsea now." She said. The three cats continued their conversation till Stormrun returned. 
"We should get going now. Its was nice talking to you" Opalsong dipped her head and the Mythclan patrol continued their walk.

As Silentsea turned around to look after them her and Cinderblaze gazes met. Quickly she turned away again. Ofc this didnt go unseen by her clanmates. Lightwhisker and Stormrun grinned at each other before flanking their fellow clanmate on both sides. "Soooo Hes a handsome tom aint he" Stormrun nudged her sister. Silentsea felt her pelt heat up. "Well i guess he is..." She then shook her head. "But Hes a Mythclan warrior!" She hissed and stomped foreward. Lightwhisker and Stormrun looked at each other and chuckled. 

At night Silentsea couldnt sleep, she shifted around in her mossbed waking lightwhisker in the process. she lifted her head and looked at her friend with a worried yet questioning look. Silentsea signed and gestured her to follow her. She made her way out of the warrior den. Honeypelt was guarding the camp and as she saw the two she spoke up. "Where are you two going? its the middle of the night." She stared the two felines down. "We just need some fresh air. dont worry we wont be gone long" Silentsea promised and they made their way to the exit. Honeypelt followed them with her eyes till they dissapeared into the night.

At the Sunny rocks silentsea sat down and Lightwhisker loafed down next to her. "I cant sleep. I cant get that tom out of my head." Lightwiskers eyes widened and she placed her tail over her friends back. The greyish brown tabby looked at the Ragdoll cat. "I know what you and Stormrun think. Yes hes a handsome tom but hes from Mythclan!" Silentsea hissed. Lightwhisker sighed and shook her head as trying to tell her to forget it and focus on what she could find in the clan. Silentsea sighed and they went back to the camp.

A few Moons passed and Silentsea was out hunting near the old shipwreck. While she sniffed around a sharp scent cought her attention. She made her way closer to the shipwreck. As she Jumped onto it she saw the red pelt of Cilderblaze. "Hey! What are you doing here! This is Coveclan territory!" She hissed and dug her claws into the rotten wood. Cinderblaze turned his head to look at her before he sat up. "Ah, if it isn't the infamous CoveClan spitfire," he sneered, a mocking grin spreading across his face. "Always so territorial. I just couldn't resist the urge to see what had your claws so sharpened. The shipwreck was just a convenient excuse to remind you how delightful it is to get under your fur." the Red tom smirked showing his fangs. 

Silentsea pinned her ears, baring her fangs and growling before she hunched down and attacked him. She cought him off guard, landing on his back and digging her claws into his shoulders. He swiftly reacted. Making himself fall backwards pressing the air out of the She-cats Lungs. Now on top, he held her down with a firm grip, his breath coming fast and warm against her fur. His gaze locked with hers, intense and commanding. "Caught you," he growled softly, his voice a low rumble. "You're fierce, but I've got you right where I want you. Maybe now you'll play a little more nicely."
He smirked. A warmth crawled up The felines back. Silentsea growled but didnt make a move.

After a few heartbeats, Cinderblaze moved his paws off her and stepped aside. Silentsea got up and shook some wood splinters out of her fur. The red tom turned to face her, taking a few slow, deliberate steps until he was inches away, their whiskers almost touching. His eyes softened as he leaned in, his breath warm against her ear. "Silentsea," he murmured, his voice low and serious, "there's something about you that I can't ignore." He brushed his tail gently along her side, his touch lingering as he moved even closer, their fur almost mingling. A warm feeling spread through the She-cats body. "Meet me at the moonspring next moonhigh. There's something important I want to share with you." His gaze held hers, intense and sincere, leaving no doubt about the gravity of his words. 

As the tom left to go back to his Territorium silentsea was at a loss of words, her Pelt still sizzleing. She watched him leave. As he was out of sight she shook herself and made her way back.
