The return. (Stormwhisker)

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone followed Stormwhisker into the WindClan camp. she stopped and told Shadekit to go to the nursery.

Shadekit drooped his head and tail and padded toward the nursery

[Frostwing :)]

Stormwhisker sent Shadekit to a time out for running away. She turned flicking her tail towards the edge of camp.

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone turned to Stormwhisker and asked " what did you have to tell me?"

[Frostwing :)]

It pained Stormwhisker to bring herself to say this but Shadowstone had the right to know. "Shadekit is your son, Sunset left her last kit in my care, as she knew my kits had died. Then she left, and that was the last we had heard of her."

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone looked at Stormwhisker with clouded eyes and then he looked at Shadekit and back again. " Thank you for taking care of him." He pressed his muzzle against hers and whispered in her ear, " Your the most beautiful cat in the clan. Your also the best mother for my son."

[Frostwing :)]

Stormwhisker felt herself purr in delight, it was been awhile since a tom had complimented her like that. "Your welcome, Shadowstone." She said with a smile. With a small lean in foreward, Stormwhisker whispered in his ear. "And, if I might add, I think you look mighty fine too."

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone let out a small purr at Stormwhisker's compliment. " What do you say I take Shadekit training? The earlier I start with him, the better the warrior he will be." Shadowstone asked more seriously.

[Frostwing :)]

Stormwhisker purred until Shadowstone asked if he could take her kit out training. Stormwhisker wasn' too enthusiastic for that, she had heard the tales of when Brokenstar had taken kits out too early to train. Only the strongest had survived, and that was only a few. "I think, Shadekit, should be allowed to keep his kithood a little bit longer. I mean he is only three moons."

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone looked at her with an understanding gaze. " Yes I see what you mean." He licked her on her muzzle affectionately and padded over to Shadekit with Stormwhisker following.



Shadekit looked at Shadowstone and his mother padding toward him. He thought he was in more trouble.

[Frostwing :)]

Stormwhisker got a tingly feeling on her face, she returned the lick hoping it would give the same feeling to Shadowstone. She saw Shadekit's guilty look. "Shadekit, come here, I have stuff for you to go and do."No. Stormwhisker wasn't actually going to put Shadekit through parental torture, but the elders needed food and apprentices were else were.

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone felt joyful at the lick at his muzzle. He smiled as he watched Stormwhisker put Shadekit to work.

[Frostwing :)]

"This is how you start training them early." Stormwhisker meowed. "Shadekit will you go and feed the elders, and then go bug them for stories about their warrior days?"

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone chuckled at Stormwhiskers comment. When he looked at Shadekit he saw the young tom staring at him with woundering eyes. His one green eye and one blue eye glittered the the sunlight.


Shadekit just stared at the dark warrior. "Shadowstone, can you take me hunting one day" Shadekit asked as his face cheered up.

[Frostwing :)]

"In three months you can, now go, the elders are getting older and crankier by the minute." Stormwhisker meowed in mock sterness, but secretly she hoped that Shadowstone would give their son, wait? No. Shadekit wasn't Stormwhisker's son. But she still wanted the best for the dark kit. She wondered why she had thought 'their'? Their sounded oddly appealing to her, and Stormwhisker didn't mind being part of 'their' if Shadowstone was other.

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone gave a lick between Stormwhiskers ears. "You're a good mother. You want to protect him no matter what."

[Frostwing :)]

"I love you" She whispered, it just slipped out. Stormwhisker mentally slapped herself in the face why would she do that. She'd basically harbored a crush on the warrior since like forever. Even before she came to be with Voletail. When he had left she felt she had to move on. But he was back and I love you slipped out.

<3

[Shadowstone]

Shadowstone just stared at the young warrior. He couldn't believe what Stormwhisker had said. He had felt the same way about her. " I love you too Stormwhisker."

[Frostwing :)]

'Sor --- what?" Stormwhisker had already started to apologize. She shook her head. "You love me? back?" She sat down, a smile curling up over her white teeth. Her heart seemed to flood with emotion, like the good kind which made you want to burst with happiness or puke out rainbows.
