Warriors: The Rise of Moonfur

Chapter 14

Soon every cat was safe and alive in their new home. Twice as much prey was being caught and an abundance of kits was being born. Scourge sat atop the dump as Moonfur sat beside him, tail flicking with interest. "This is perfect." She whispered, giving a small smile to herself. Scourge just nodded and watched the sunset from the dump. "It's only been six moons and this place is already picking up the pace quickly. Soon we will be the most powerful clan of all." Scourge smirked. "Yes, but we ARE still just two clans living and interacting with eachother. That could change quickly if I killed you." Moonfur smirked back. "Not if I kill you first!"

     Moonfur leaped onto Scourge and playfully swiped his muzzle, claws sheathed. Scourge smirked again and kicked Moonfur off with his hind legs. She landed on the fresh kill pile, crunching any bones that were in the prey. "Oops..." Scourge purred loudly. Moonfur purred to herself and leaped on Scourge again, pinning him under her. He whispered into her ear. "Not winning, yet." Scourge flipped them over so that he was on top, pinning Moonfur instead. "Ahh... Let me go!" "Not until you admit that I won!" He mewed with amusement. "Ugh... Fine! You won..." Moonfur stopped struggling as soon as Scourge let go.

         Soon Frogleap appeared, padding toward them. She sat under the dump. "I need to talk to Moonfur. Is that alright?" Frogleap gestured to the position that they were previously in. Moonfur blushed lightly. "U-uh... Yes Frogleap. I'll be right with you. I'll meet you in the dump." Frogleap gave a slow nod and padded into the dump. Moonfur sighed and smiled. "Just a moment, please?" Scourge nodded. "Sure." Moonfur smiled brightly. "Thanks!" She leaped down and entered the dump, where Frogleap was waiting. "Yes, Frogleap? What is it?" Moonfur sat across from her, tail curled up around her white furry body. 

"Well, I actually have something to say about Scourge." Moonfur nodded at her to continue. "Well... Um... Scourge really likes you... I think you should talk to him more often." She pricked her ears at this. "Tell me more." She urged. "Fine... I can see the way he looks at you and hear the way he sighs when you aren't paying attention. He always offers you the best fresh-kill and everything. He even lets you sleep in the most comfortable spot in the dump!" She answered. Moonfur looked at her paws and blushed lightly. "I can see the way you look at him, too. Sometimes you just sit there and stare at him for what seems like a moon!" Moonfur's blush only grew to the obvious facts that Frogleap was stating. "Alright fine... But I'm only going to be his mate if he asks me." Frogleap grinned. "Good! I'm happy for you, Moonfur! Now go get em'!"

Moonfur purred and walked out of the den to grab some fresh-kill. She was starving. Once she got there, a juicy mouse was waiting for her at the top of the pile. She grabbed it with her powerful jaws and went to eat next to her good friend, Scratchclaw. They chatted for a while and soon the two were both done. Soon the sun was almost gone from the horizon. Moonfur spotted Scourge, still sitting in the same spot that she left him. She leaped up next to him. Moonfur thought about what Frogleap said. Maybe I should try to become his mate? She thought. Yeah... I'll try it... I guess... Her mind was running wild on what she should do. Then she got an idea. Scourge was watching the sunset, his icy eyes glowing from the light that was produced from it. Moonfur scooted closer to him until their flanks were touching. Scourge flinched but didn't say anything. Moonfur rested her head on his shoulder. He grew alert, but soon relaxed. They were like that until the sun went down and every cat was sleeping. Soon they were watching the stars. Scourge spoke after what seemed forever. 

"Y-you know Moonfur..."

"Hmm?" 

"I-I've liked you for quite a while now and..."

Moonfur licked his cheek.

"Yes."

"Wait... What? Y-you mean it?" 

"Yes, Scourge. I'll be your mate."

Scourge smiled and licked her nose. 

"Wonderful." 

"I love you."

"I love you, too. Moonfur."
