The Dark Prophecy

Chapter 6

  (Silverstar P.O.V.)  

When Silverstar awoke, he wasn't sure where he was. He was about to run when he realized he was in the medicine den. He looked around, and saw Brackenfrost and the medicine cat, Leafdapple. They were both speaking in hushed voices, and Brackenfrost seemed distraught. Silverstar wanted to walk over and comfort her, but when he tried, the gashes on his flank started to burn. Silverstar grunted in pain. Brackenfrost and Leafdapple turned around, and when Brackenfrost saw that Silverstar was awake, she ran to him and nuzzled in his fur. "Thank Starclan. You're okay." She whispered. Silverstar looked past her to Leafdapple, who was smirking. "Now, may I check his injury," she mewed. "Or are you two to busy?". Silverstar felt his pelt grow hot. Brackenfrost must have been embarrassed too, because she stopped nuzzling him and backed away. After Leafdapple had checked his wound, she said that he could go back to his den. Once he had reached his den, and had settled into his nest, he realized how tired he was, and fell into a dreamless sleep.

Silverstar awoke to someone calling his name. As his eyes adjusted, he realized it was Brackenfrost. "Brackenfrost?" He asked. "What is it?". Suddenly, a terrible thought crossed his mind. "Have Dark Forest cat attacked the camp!?" He asked in a hushed, but intense voice. "No! No, no, no. The camp is okay. I just... wanted to talk to you.". She seemed nervous, but Silverstar had no idea why. "Okay, what is it?". "Oh, um... Nevermind! It's fine." Brackenfrost said a bit to loudly. "No, please," Silverstar implored. "Tell me.". "Okay, fine." Brackenfrost took a deep breath. "I have been thinking about this for a while. So... will you be my mate?".
