Forbidden Warrior Love

Chapter 3

Later that night, Goldenfeather and Silverflower headed out to the stream. They said they were going hunting, so they had to bring back prey in the morning. When they arrived at the stream,  Honeypool was already there. When Goldenfeather reached him, he let out a small purr.

"I see you came." Honeypool was the first to speak.

"Why did you want me to meet you here?" Asked Goldenfeather.

"Well I have a question. I wanted to ask you at the Gathering, but I didn't want anyone to hear it, and I was afraid the answer was going to be no." He looked shyly at her and then the ground.

"What is it?" She asked, her voice unusually soft.

"Do you love me?" Honeypool finally had the voice to ask her.

"Yes!" Goldenfeather replied.

"Why is Silverflower here?" Honeypool was frozen by panic for a moment.

"It's alright! She knows, but she won't tell. Honeypool, now I have a question for you. Are you going to ask me to be your mate?"

" Do you want to be my mate?" Honeypool hesitated before asking her. He wants to be her mate but doesn't know what will happen if the clans find out.

"I just asked you if that was what you were going to ask me. But yes, I will be your mate."

Silverflower turned around sharply at that.

"Are you two insane? When did you just agree to Goldenfeather? What happens if Sandstar finds out? Or worse Shadowclan's leader Darkstar? What if the whole clans find out?" Silverflower hissed.

"I know! I love him but I want to be loyal to Thunderclan too! Starclan, help me! I'm being torn in two!" Her voice rose, but didn't go too high.

" Our time together has to end now. Will you meet me here tomorrow at the same time?" Honeypool asked.

"Yes." Came Goldenfeather's muffled reply.

"Bye! I love you!" Honeypool quickly gave Goldenfeather a lick between her ears to show he meant what he just said.

"Goodbye. I love you too." Goldenfeather replied.
            

                                               *************
"You are insane! What were you thinking, agreeing to be Honeypool's mate?" Silverflower hissed as soon as they had caught enough prey to make up for the night. She was furious, and still is. She believes Goldenfeather shouldn't have agreed to be Honeypool's mate.

"I don't know! All I know is that I love him, and he loves me. He's such a nice tom, especially being from Shadowclan! Starclan please forgive me!" Goldenfeather whimpered.

The pair of them walked into camp, being greeted by Smokeyfoot. Everyone knew he was crazy over Goldenfeather. They shared a few words with him, and ran into Bramblethorn. Silverflower liked him, and he liked her. The two of them were just too scared to admit their feelings for each other.

"Hey. Um, Silverflower, do you want to be my mate?" Bramblethorn's question shocked Goldenfeather.

"Um sure..." Silverflower looked at the ground.

They walked into the Warrior's den together with their tails entertwined. They put there nests beside each other, and then went to sleep. When Goldenfeather got into her nest, she fell into a deep sleep.
