Chapter 26

Half a moon later

Splashclaw had spent the whole day hunting and patrolling. He was curled up in his sleeping place with Gentlerain. He purred loudly. He didn't care if he woke up the other warriors. He loved Gentlerain, and she loved him. He didn't care about Spiderkit, Riverkit, Dappledkit, Nightkit, Vineflower, Tigerflower, Dawnriver, or Eveningbreeze. All he cared about was his newest mate, his truest mate. They would be having kits together. Many, many kits together. He didn't care about being clan leader anymore, or being deputy. He loved Gentlerain so much. He'd cross the world for her. Splashclaw snuggled deeper into her sweet smelling fur. The warmth from her radiating into him.
"Can we both get white cough so we can spend days together?" He whispered into her ear. She purred louder.
"No, sadly, we have duties. I would..." A yawn interrupted her, "I would if I could..." She purred drozily.
   "I can take you off duties. After all, you are expecting," he purred. She snuggled closer to him.
   "Hmm... That'd be nice. I could snuggle with you all day," she meowed dreamily.
   "Would you two love birds be quiet! I'm trying to sleep!" A warrior yelled from across the den. Splashclaw sprung up, getting ready to pounce on whoever that was, but a soft tail on his side made him look back. He saw Gentlerain's sweet eyes looking up at him pleadingly. He softened, and curled up with her.
   Fallingleaf entered the den, and snorted upon seeing Splashclaw and Gentlerain curled up togther. She stalked passed the two love birds, accidentally stepping on Gentlerain's tail. Gentlerain screeched in pain. Splashclaw shot up. I'll kill her for hurting Gentlerain! Gentlerain wouldn't like that though. I'll just have to show my control and strength by pinning her, and warning her. He thought in a heartbeat. Splashclaw sprang on Fallingleaf. He made a split second decision, and pushed his backside into hers. Fallingleaf squirmed beneath him.
   "Don't ever hurt my mate again! Understand?" He growled, and just loud enough for Fallingleaf to hear, he whispered, "Or I'll kill our kits." Fallingleaf stopped squirming. She had realized what Splashclaw had done. He let her go, and sauntered back to his favorite mate.
   "You were so brave!" Gentlerain meowed. "How in StarClan did you manage to control yourself?" Splashclaw smirked, and settled down again.
   "I just thought of what you would have wanted me to do," he purred. And what I wanted... He purred in his head. But when Gentlerain finds out, she'll be heartbroken! She'll think I don't love her! I wish I could take it all back, all of it, and just be mates with her! He thought miserably. A voice echoed in his head, Do you really want to take it all back? He recognized it as Shadowriver. Yes! Yes! Please! I'm sorry for killing you! I was greedy! I wanted all the she-cats to love me, and now that one really does, I want to take it all back! Please! You can help me, can't you?
   The Shadowriver responded, Maybe, but you'll have to prove yourself. If you can let go of your egotistical ways, I'll reverse what has been done. Apologize to all the cats you've hurt. Nightkit was starting to be like you. Selfish, greedy, power-hungry, only wanted to make sure the she-cats loved him. Tigerflower will never love again. You've frosted her heart. Eveningbreeze won't ever trust another cat again once she finds out that you killed me for power. Her heart, to, will be frosted by the pain that you've given them. Fallingleaf will forever be afraid. Her carefree attitude is covered by frost like the early morning grass in leaf-bare. Leaf-bare doesn't happen here. It happens far away, so should the icy cold frost, but it seems to be happening here, in the hearts of you clan mates. Vineflower hasn't changed, but will if you continue you ways. She'll become a ruthless fighter, so will Spiderkit. Dapplekit will become the shy, frightened medicine cat apprentice, and Riverkit, the good humored cat who bullies the weaker ones. Dawnriver will become shy and afraid, and Bramblestar, your own father, will hate you for ever, and banish you form the clan. Even the love of you life, Gentlerain, will become harsh and cold. You see, you've done more damage than good. The only good thing you've done is bring the clan kits. Apologize, unfrost their hearts, and I'll reverse what has been done.
   Splashclaw's cheeks were damp with tears from sorrow and relief. I'll do anything!
   Good, now go to sleep. You can fix things in the morning, Shadowriver meowed. Splashclaw soon fell asleep. He would fix things in the morning.
