Shining Moon

The wind whistled softly on a dark starry night. The moon shone brightly on a slow going stream surronded by trees. A black, plump she-cat padded from some brambles and dripped her head to drink.

On the other side of the stream the leaves rustled. The she-cat pricked her ears and let out a low growl unsheathing her claws. A gray, skinny tom stepped slowly pricked his way from the trees.

"Shadowlaw," mewed the tom dipping his head. His voice was hoarse, as if it had never been used. Shadowclaw sheathed her claws and licked her chest-fur embarrassedly.

"Grayfur," replied Shadowclaw;her voice soft and as smooth as the river.

"Why have you called upon me on this fine greenleaf night?" questioned Grayfur.

"I-I've got something to tell you," stammpered Shadowclaw. Grayfur swished his tail in annoyance. "I'm going to have kits."

Grayfur stumbbled back into the undergrowth. When he regained his balance he replied, "When?"

"Sometime this moon," Shadowclaw held her breath as she waited to hear her mate's reaction.

"It's amazing! Me a father! I can't wait!" yowled Grayfur bouncing around. Shadowclaw stuffled a mew of laughter. Suddenly, Grayfur stopped and lashed his tail angerly. "You've forgotten one thing, I'm from MountainClan."

"And I'm ForestClan," mewed Shadowclaw, her tail dropping.
