Forbidden Warrior Love

Chapter 1

"It was a beautiful night to have a gathering." Thought a Thunderclan warrior Goldenfeather. She sensed other cats behind her. One was a young Shadowclan tom.

"Hey! I've seen you before haven't I?" The young tom asked curiously. "You're Goldenpaw, right?"

"Goldenfeather now, thank you!" She replied hotly. "And no, I don't think we have met before, unless you saw me on border patrol."

"Yeah I've seen you on border patrol a few times before. Our mentors had long conversations about Starclan knows what. Every time you were looking in the bushes and sniffing the air. I'm Honeypool, by the way. I've been a warrior for three moons yesterday."

"Well, Honeypool, I am Thunderclan's newest warrior, along with my bestfriend, Silverflower." Responded Goldenfeather with pride.

Just then Silverflower came up.

"Hey Goldenfeather. Who's this?" She asked.

"Honeypool from Shadowclan." Said the white warrior.

"Well there are some apprentices over there acting a fool. I figured you might want to go staighten them out." Said Silverflower.

"Not tonight. This is my first Gathering as a warrior. I want to enjoy it without scolding apprentices for once." Replied Goldenfeather.

"You scold apprentices after you just became a warrior? You must be very looked up to and respected if you can do that!" Exclaimed Honeypool.

"When the young cats are bored I take them out hunting if their mentors let me. Some say that I should find a mate and have kits. I just haven't found the right tom." Goldenfeather started off with pride in her voice, but as it got to the last sentence it was full of sadness.

"Why does that make you upset that you haven't found the right tom yet?" Asked Honeypool with concern.

Silverflower gave him a glare so hot he had to look away. Goldenfeather just stared sadly at him.

"Should I tell him?" Goldenfeather asked Silverflower.

"I don't know if we can trust him. He's from a different clan." Replied Silverflower.

"I think I trust him, even though he's Shadowclan. Ok, so Honeypool, you want to know why I'm so sad about the whole ordeal about having kits? Well here's what happened. There was the one tom named Hawkpaw. We were very, very close to each other. One day he tried to kill my mother, Honeyheart. He got banned from the clan. And then he came back and killed my sister, Shimmerpaw. I don't know why. But after that I thought I would never get close to another tom." As Goldenfeather told her story, tears filled her eyes.

"I'm sorry." Not knowing what else to do, Honeypool put his tail around her shoulders comfortably.

"I'm guys, I don't think you should show affection toward each other at a place where the clans can see." Silverflower pointed out the obvious.

"Oh. Right." Said Honeypool to Silverflower. In a lower voice he added to Goldenfeather, "Meet me at the stream border tomorrow at twilight."

She gave him a mysterious look, but nodded her head.
