Runningstrike's Secret

Chapter 1
Runningstrike's brown fur bristled as he paced the camp, his fur began to dampen. He clamped his eyes shut and dug his thorn-sharp claws into the soft earth. "Why?" He hissed, his fur was covered in the fluffy flakes falling from the sky, Leaf-Bare was close by and snow had been falling through the mountains. He sighed happily and caught some fluffy flakes on his tongue, mewing excitedly. "Oh, this makes me feel much better." He sprung up and pawed at some snowflakes.

"Runningstrike?" His tail stopped lashing and auds up, he turned to see Nightshade, who was giggling softly. "What are you doing?" She twinned her tail around his and purred lightly. His face turned a light hue of red and he pulled his tail away. The she narrowed her eyes and raised her nose. "And I thought you were quite the gentle-cat." She hissed and padded away.

Runningstrike let out a small sigh of relief and watched his brother walk into the Elders Den with Shaded Leaves. Shaded Leaves was a kind she cat, and Runningstrike thought she was perfect with Windheart. She had supported him after the loss of his leg, and even Reedstar knew. He tilted his head and watched as the two sat in front of Brighteyes.
