What Have I Done (Frost/Lemonade)

[Icestorm]

OOC: oh my poor baby... it has finally come to this point. The cost of her foolish love. Frost for Blackcloud and that sneaky little Bramblekit. Lemonade, for Froststar - if you want to keep track of the thread for later. 

The black she-cat made her way out of the warriors den and into the clearing. The wind was cooler out in the clearing than in the warriors den, but that was just what she was hoping for. It was getting late, and it seemed as though many of her fellow clan mates were sleeping or at least preparing to. Yet, she couldn't. Lately her head had been focused on nothing else but Blackcloud. Even their meetings didn't seem enough anymore. Her dreams were filled with him, but yet not only him. Poppyshine sat down in the clearing, hoping to hide the truth from prying eyes. "What do I do? What do I tell Thornfur," she muttered to herself, unaware that she was talking out-load. Her thoughts racing heavily,"What about the clan? What have I done?" She looked to her paws lost in thought. Starclan knew what she had done. She felt shameful and confused. When she was with him though it was as though there was never problem. She forgot about Starclan, she forgot about the cost. but now it all was hitting as hard and fast as falling out of tree. 

"Oh Starclan, what do I tell Blackcloud?" I have to tell him. What is he going to think? She started to feel panic rise in her. She knew he already had a litter of kits, and he seemed like a great father to them, but yet how could she tell him. She knew it didn't really matter anyways, he would never be there for them. Maybe she could keep it secret? No one had to know who the father was. She sighed. Thornfur wouldn't accept that. Not after what happened to her mother. His cold eyes would pry the information out of her one way or the other. The one cat she always wanted to impress, was going to be the one she hurt the most with this news. She just knew it. Not even her smile and laugh would be able to repair this.

"Who's Blackcloud?" Was probably the most terrifying words Poppyshine could hear right now, but that didn't change the fact that a dark tabby tom just said it. Bramplekit had fallowed the compact she-cat around camp, his large ears taking in her personal thoughts. "Come on! Who's Blackcloud? I think I'm going to tell Thornfur if you don't tell me!" Bramplekit meowed loudly, not caring if the tom already knew who this 'Blackcloud' character was. 'Wait...was he even in Leafclan? I sould just play it off cool and later tell Thornfur...' the dark tabby and lilac thought, ducking and running under Poppyshine's legs. 'Step one, find out who Blackcloud is! Step two, tell Thornfur! Step three, be awesome!' Was one of the first things that ran though his smart mind, knowing that ue would have to go though with the plan. "Tell me!" The dark tom yowled.

Poppyshine's ear shot up at the sound of Bramblekit's voice. Her sleek fur bristling. She let out a deep and heavy sigh trying to control herself. The bigger deal she made the more trouble he would cause. She smiled to the kit as he repeated Blackcloud's name louder, running threw her legs. "Oh I you don't need to ask Thornfur about him. He is no one that is important," she hoped his attention span was short enough to forget about Blackcloud, "just a friend." The last thing she needed as his little mouth running to Thornfur. "Hey. Bramblekit, isn't getting late? I bet Icestorm is getting worried about you being out in the clearing. Maybe you should go check in with her?" She asked as sweetly as she could, panic surging through her. She had to get his mind on something else. Distract him from Blackcloud, and Thornfur.

She looked around the clearing trying to find her uncle. He wasn't in the warrior's den, she was just in there. Maybe he was coming back from a hunt? She hoped that was the case. Quickly she got up from her spot, hoping that Bramblekit would take her advice and started for the entrance of the camp. She had to try and meet him tonight, while she still had the courage. He had a right to know. All her thoughts were on him, him and her growing stomach. She didn't even take notice of her surroundings as she left.


Thornfur was tired, and had a semi-productive hunting patrol. He came back into the camp carrying a robin that had been too careless and a small thrush that had been to slow. He had hoped to share the robin with Birdheart. He smiled at the thought of his mate. As he entered the camp he saw Popphyshine leave. She seemed to be in a hurry, he wondered where she was off to when it time for most of the other warriors to be heading to the den.
