Confession

[sandclaw]

Sandclaw slowly walked to the entrance of Brightstar's den. "I have something very important to tell you." she said, staring at the ground as she waited for a reply.

[brightpelt]

"You may enter." Brightstar replied casually, trying to sound confident. She had only been Thunderclan's leader for a day and wasn’t very sure of herself. "Now what is it you want to tell me?" she meowed as Sandclaw entered her den.

[sandclaw]

Sandclaw curled up on the floor of Brightstar's den, sighed, and told Brightstar every thing about her secret love life.

[brightpelt]

Brightstar listened quietly to what Sandclaw said. "Well then," she replied after Sandclaw had finished "you have a choice, I will take Salem into Thunderclan and you may have kits, and lose the position of Deputy Or I will keep it a secret from the rest of the clan, you will still be Deputy but you would have to promise never to see Salem again."

[sandclaw]

Sandclaw nodded. She had already made a decision before she had come to Brightstar's den. "I wish to have kits." she whispered. There was a hole in her heart, she loved being Deputy of Thunderclan, but knew that having kits would bring her more joy than being Deputy or even Leader ever would.

[brightpelt]

"As you wish." Brightstar murmured "Now go find Salem and I will make him a clan member tonight." Brightstar flicked her tail to dismiss Sandclaw and closed her eyes. She didn't know if she had made the right choice. But Sandclaw had been her friend since she had come to Thunderclan when they were both kits, and she would do anything for her.

[sandclaw]

Sandclaw nodded and ran out of Brightstar's den, with excitement, to find Salem.

[salem]

Salem watched Sandclaw leap over his fence into the garden. It was the dead of night and her fur shone silver in the moonlight. Salem fluffed up his own calico pelt and purred a greeting.
"Hello Sandclaw. Have you told your leader?" His amber eyes twinkled. She's so beautiful he thought.
