(Warrior Cats)SmokeTrail's fire

Chapter 3- I Didn't Think This Through Clearly!

(⚠ warning ⚠ mild language)

Shadn'tmokettwik  slept since she had arrived in shadowclan, and it was bothering her. She felt that she needed a break from everything going on in her life from spending time with Goldeneyes to trying to prove her loyalty.

Now away from her birth clan, she felt conflicted with mixed emotions. She wss excited to be here, but she missed both iceglare and her brothers, but while out on patrol, he showed up.

"I know that this is really wrong, but I miss you so much and I can't ignore the way I feel about you for any longer. I have myself a mate, but...it's just not the same. I need you.."

So smoketrail offered him some prey and to walk with him back to the windclan-shadowclan border, however he seemed a little hesitant when she suggested that she should return to camp.

Suddenly he got kinda close, so much so that it was making her nervous as well as curious to what he was doing.

"Uh, hey..."

"Yes?" He replied in a mischevious tone, getting closer until she had nowhere to go.

---

This event lead to some things she wish she could forget. It wasn't long until she met a cat- a rouge that seemed to have been exiled from a clan. She smelled slightly of thunderclan and windclan.

"Look, you're Smoketrail right? Every time I see my mate it seems that he smells like shadowclan. I pried until he told me who you were."

"I....." she had no idea what to say to the angry female. Her face was probably as priceless as she was confused.

"I'm just gonna cut to the chase. There's something I want and if I don't get it, I'm telling your mate. His name is goldeneyes, right?"

smoketrail started to panic, so much so that the next night she raced to where she and iceglare often met "why did you tell Her?" I hissed, the anger flaring in my green and blue eyes.

" I'm So sorry, I didn't know that she would do this !"

His fur was dirty, from what I didn't know, but I'd never seen a cat like him so pathetic looking.

"so was your whole story a setup!?"

"I don't know anything about it!"

"Stop pretending, for starclan's sake!"

"I didnt know, Smoketrail!!"

"oh starclan, how could I let this happen...?"

"please, just give her whatever she wants and no one has to know what we've done!"

"I'm sorry-"
smoketail flinched "how could I do this to goldeneyes...?!"

"if you give her what she wants we can stay together!" Iceglare repeated

"No!" I snapped back in response

"Just for a while!" He insisted

"The situations helpless..."

"It's not, I promise. "

"There's nothing else I can do, I have to say no or else....he'll hate me..." then paused with a sigh. "Fine..."

"Seriously?"iceglare piped up a bit.
"no..."
"N-No....?"
"I don’t....know.." smoketrail responded.

oh starclan please tell me how to get out of this, this is crazy! She thought

Yes, no, yes no, what do I do!? I don't want to break his heart, but..
"I guess there's not much I can do now..." S moketrail sighed heavily.

Iceglare meowed " please Don’t say no..."

In her mind she still wanted to decline. But then brightshine-standing nearby- interrupted her thoughts and said "what's the deal?"

Smoketrail took a long look at iceglare and Brightshine and took a deep breath, in no way believing that her, herself was doing this to Goldeneyes, the father of the kits she was pregnant with, a good few days before iceglare returned to her life.
what Now?

"Nobody needs to know...."

----

Smoketrail was sleeping peacefully, up against GoldenEyes when voices broke into her dreams.  she woke up but didn't open her eyes until he jumped up and so she jumped up to.

"What's wrong?"smoketrail asked, licking his cheek.

He smiled at her, and purred, giving her an affectionate nuzzle on her neck. "Good morning sweetheart, but this is about you. I don't know what though..."

All alarms went off in smoketrail's head. uh-oh! I think I already know. And I think I know how this is gonna go. Oh..no...

The two of them padded to the base of the almost completely moss-covered rock, that flashstar stood on.

Neither her or her deputy were very happy. Flashstar spoke first unluckily"have you heard about this!?"

"We've discovered that one of the newest of our warriors has broken the clan code!"Firefly-the deputy- hissed.

Smoketrail flinched as her name was mentioned, and felt Goldeneyes' gaze fall back on her.

"the Information came from a windclan warrior who carried a message from adderstar, who claims that it was brightshine, an ex windclan warrior who was the current mate of Iceglare who was also involved."The unimpressed leader continued,

Smoketail was scared now, but became braver, at least that's what she called it, and stood supiriorly in front of flashstar

"everything that adderstar says....It's all true. This al was not meant to happen. On another note, brightshine knew what we were doing.."

"I had meetings with him near the windclan border, all of which at night that went unnoticed."

"Goldeneyes, didn't know because I always left him sleeping throughout these meetings with iceglare...It hurt me to do it..but I continued..."

Smoketrail saw the hurt in Goldeneyes' now wide sparkling eyes "no...."

Multiple cats sent yowls of protest.
"She'll never be leader Now!" Cried some of the angry cats among them.

"I guess that's one less thing to worry about..."she muttered.

Suddenly a very, VERY angry Thunderclan cat rushed in with a pelt almost identical to Goldeneyes' "I came as soon as soon as I heard what happened!"she yelped.

"What!?"Goldeneyes squeaked."Sunsetstreak-"

"No way!" Smometrail cried. "Sunsetstreak, finally, someone who understands what I'm trying to do..."smoketrail mewed sheepishly.

"I'm not here for you!"she growled fiercely.

More murmurs rose above that at one point settling crowd.

"I don't know what's wrong with your head, but my big brother is a loyal and amazing cat that you don't deserve! You don't deserve a cat like him as your mate, you don't!" As the she-cat continued to angrily scold smoketrail and yell, tears streamed down the ginger cats face.

Goldeneyes was in tears now too, as was smoketail "this isn't fair...." smoketrail heard her mate murmur as his younger sister came up at his side.

Flashstar wss silent, her green eyes fixed in a green glare.

Suddenly firefly jumped back in"i've heard of cross-clan relationships, but this?! This is just cruel to the cat you love!"

"Oh no...."
