Call to the Wild

[34]

Just to let you know, I will now be doing Rosemary AND Thunder's POV, so there won't be any more bonus chapters with Thunder's POV!

Thunder watched Storm playfight with Meadow in the clearing. The two she-cats had instantly become friends and they were inseparable. Thunder was also pretty sure Lion and other toms in the clan had become lovesick with the beautiful, sleek, gray she-cat.

As the two friends stopped playing and sat down to talk, he felt envy creep up on him as Lion cast Storm an admiring look.

Why am I like this? He scolded. I'm not supposed to be fawning over some she-cat, I have a mission to complete! Thunder's heart warmed as Storm noticed he was watching her and smiled. Thunder instantly pushed the feeling away.

Storm stood up, and walked toward him with Meadow by her side. "Hi Thunder!" Storm purred. "Hi." Thunder muttered. Storm's eyes dimmed with hurt, "Alright..do you think..Rosemary will let me in?" She asked. Thunder was tempted to nuzzle her and say, 'Of course!', but instead he just shrugged.

Meadow glared at him as Storm looked crest-fallen. Meadow whispered something in Storm's ear, and together the two friends walked away. Lion glared at him from the fresh-kill pile and padded up to Storm, twining tails with her. She's mine! Thunder roared in his head, but he too rubbed the thought away.

"She can stay!" Rosemary meowed from the Highrock, "I will be her mentor." Storm padded toward Rosemary from the crowd, looking nervous, but Lion whispered something in her ear, and she smiled gratefully at him. Thunder tried to ignore the tug in his heart. Rosemary smiled at Storm, and together, mentor and apprentice walked toward the forest. The cat of Roseclan went back to what they were doing.

Lion padded up to him, "Why are you being so mean to Storm today?" He demanded, "She's frail, and she's younger than you! Why are you being so dismissive of her? She really pretty! I thou-" As Lion continued to blabber about how nice Storm was, Thunder thought, Blah blah blah, she's pretty and nice, blah blah blah blah blah. Thunder glared at Lion, "I don't hate her, I just..I'm not interested in her, okay?" He growled, stalking off.

He could feel Lion's furious glare on his back as he stalked off.

Once Storm got back, it was sun-blaze, and Meadow was off hunting with her mentor. "Lion's amazing, isn't he?" Storm mooned. "Aren't I?" Thunder blurted out, before covering his mouth with his tail. Storm glanced at him, surprised, but it disolved into happiness that he was talking to her, "You are." She murmured, twining tails with him.

Thunder thought he would burst of happiness. "So," He meowed as Storm relaxed nest to him, "Who do you..like?" He asked. Storm's muzzle reddened in shyness, "No one, really." She said quickly. Thunder gave her a sceptical look, "I thought..Lion..liked you." He murmured, a twinge of anger in his voice. Storm's muzzle reddened even more, "Maybe, but don't worry! I'd rather stick to being with you for now." Se meowed softly.

Thunder's heart beat even faster, "Thanks." He whispered. Softly, so she couldn't hear him. He could see Lion's eyes lit up with angry fire from the clearing, as Thunder took his love away.

LOL!

Lion is LOVESICK!! Up there is Lion when he sees Thunder taking "what's causing his sickness" away from him! Grrr..🦁
