Star's path

THIS WAS TAKEN FROM FORESTCLAN ROLEPLAW WIKI AND ICE AND FLOATIE HELPED! Earthstar stretched in her den, waiting for something to do. Her eyes shifted to the small ball of moss lying at her feet. ''When did that get there? ''She wondered, thinking of when she was a kit. Someday, I want to have kits. She thought warmly, imagining names for kits.Jaggedshard came into the den with a thrush, "Hi, Earthstar." She snapped out of her daydreaming and looked up at him. "Oh, Hello Jaggedshard." she mewedJaggedshard dropped the thrush. "I thought you might be hungry," he meowed, "And we scented a fox on the borders." "well after hearing that, yes, I am hungry" she sighed "Will you stay and share this with me? she asked, her eyes begging.  Jaggedshard felt his pelt growing hot. "Of... of course I'll stay," he stammered. He sat across from her and took the first bite. She chuckled a bit, and sat back in her nest, taking a small bite of the thrush. "your a nice tom you know that?" she mewed, a small smile appearing on her face. Jaggedshard's eyes brightened. "Th-thank you," he purred. "But,  You work too hard. I even take time off to relax sometimes." she mewed. "Don't worry," he meowed, staring at her, "This is relaxing, just sharing prey with a cat I've known since we were kits."  "Well, I guess thats good" she replied, sighing. "Im going to let it out plain and Simple Jaggedshard." she started, returning his stare with her own. "I've had a crush on you since we were apprentices. I feel like a kit at the moment, and that I will start blushing, which is not very serious for a leader to do."  Jaggedshard felt his pelt grow really hot. "I feel the same way," he breathed. "Well Im not quite sure what to say now." For once almost in her entire life she was blushing. She always tried to keep her emtions hidden mostly after.\ what happened to her mother. She hated that memory the most. Her sister didn't even know. I had to lie to her. As much as it hurt me back then, I couldn't tell anybody Nitro's secret....anybody. She shook her head, trying to let the memory go away. "It's okay to not be serious," Jaggedshard teased her, flicking her with his tail. "Yeah, ok" she murmured. What if she comes back for me.....I can't let Willowshade learn....I wish I knew where Chevi was...She shocked herself, Why was she thinking about her? She wouldn't hurt a fly...but she always wanted to be in a clan...mostly mine infact, When ever it  is I see her again, I'll let her in my clan....to get her away from her terrible sister Nitro. She snapped out of it, noticing Jaggedfeather looking at her. "For one, I always loved your eyes, how they are so bright, almost like ice." she murmured, her breath and voice soft. Jaggedshard let out a purr and meowed, "Thanks, I..." he broke off, at loss for words. "Whats wrong?" She asked, and her eyes widened. "I have always had a crush on you, and you like me back," he breathed. She laughed a bit. "Your just now noticing that? I told you a few moments ago." she grinned at him, still chuckling. "No, but I never would have imagined you liked me," he replied. "Why?" she asked, and she stopped laughing. I was afraid somebody would have taken you as a mate and taken you away from me by now. She thought. but didn't say it. "Because I thought you liked others better," he meowed. "please, I wouldn't like anybody else." she mewed, "I have very high standereds" It was meant as a joke, but she said it without flinching. Jaggedshard laughed, "Me, too!" Her head swiftly turned as she saw a black flash in the corner of her eye. There was nothing there. Oh Starclan please let it be my imagination! she silently begged. Jaggedshard's fur prickled, "What?" "Oh, I thought I saw somebody, but it was just a tree." she mewed, hating herself for lying to him. She took another bite of the thrush, which was beginng to get cold. "What now?" she asked, and looked over at him. "Are we mates now or somthing?" "I suppose we are," he meowed, taking another bite out of the thrush. "Okay" she said, taking another bite of the thrush. She swalloewd, and her gaze went back on the camp. Somewhere, out in the trees, she could make out a glowing yellow gaze. If I do have kits, will they be safe against her? The question rung quietly in her head, getting louder and and louder, until she started to get a headache. Jaggedshard stretched and lie down on his back, sighing, "So, what now?" "I should proabaly send out a border patrol." she mumbled "And Wolfkit is already six moons, so I should probably give her an apprentice ceromony." she continued. "Earthstar, May I come in?" A she-cat meowed from outside the Leader's Den. "I am a rouge named Star. And I have 5 Kits with me, too." Earthstars gaze snapped from Jaggedshard, and she stood up in her nest, quickly grooming herself. She looked up. "Please do" she mewed, smiling. The she-cat came into veiw. She was a pretty tortie. And the kits with her weren't even 1 moon old yet. "I was wondering if I could join your clan, because I think my ex-mate is trying to kill my kits." Star stuck her nose into the pile of fur next to her. "Would you like to meet my kits?" Jaggedshard snapped his attention to the newcomes, looking as elegant as possible. "I would love to!" she said enthusiasticlly. "The clan wil protect you from your ex-mate if he comes near here." Her eyes twinkled, she loved kits. "Ok this one," She said pointing to a tortie that looked like her "is Rose, This is," She said pointing to a gray tom " Dark, this is Rusty, This one is Fly, And this last one," She said pointing at the smallest a feeble little one who was much smaller then her littermates," is Ginger, since she has a ginger colored pelt." Jaggedshard gazed at the tiny lumps of fur warmly and rested his tail on Earthstar's spine. "They-they're so cute." she said. "How long will you all be staying in the clan?" she asked, eyes sparkilng. "I really don't know...." "We can help you as long as you need," Jaggedshard offered. "Thank you. Do you have some where I can rest and feed my kits?" Star asked. She still felt scared by their niceness but she wouldn't tell them that. Don't forget I did basically stalk their patrol. "well, we do have the Nursery." She looked at Star "My sister is in there and she has more kits on the way, so you won't get lonely. But as a warning, She isn't as nice as I am." She purred. "I will go to the nursery. But will the queens except me?" With that she walked out and went to find the nursery. AT THE NURSERY "Its nice in here isn't it?" Earthstar asked, leading the trio in, along with the five kits. Willowshade was fast asleep, not noticing her sister, Jaggedshard or Star and her kits. Jaggedshard looked around, it was nice and looked comfortable and safe, but of course, he would never sleep in there. "Yes it is." Star found an empty nest and her kits followed her besides Rusty who followed Earthstar around the nursery. Jaggedshard purred in amusement at the kit.
