A dark tabby tom moved silently through the trees until he reached a clearing. He was guiding none other than Ebonyear, who happens to be the deputy of their clan as well as his love. His tail was placed gently on her shoulder, for he had told the pretty she-cat to close her eyes so he could show her a surprise. [Rhymes xD] Once the sound of running water reached his ears, he smiled. "Almost there!" the tom assured his companion.
It was nearly moonhigh, and the silvery orb was casting an exceptionally beautiful glow on the land, making everything misty and beautiful. And the nearby smell of sage added to the ambience. Swiftclaw led Ebonyear to the water's edge, and lifted his tail from her shoulder. "Not yet...keep your eyes closed..." The poor tom couldn't keep the grin off his face as he waited a few more moments. "When I saw 'now' I want you to open your eyes, okay Ebb?" he spoke, using his little nickname for the she-cat. "Ready...NOW!" Suddenly, the moon's rays of light focused on the waterfall and the river coming from it. The silvery light on the clear water made the liquid look like glass, and the light shone right through it, making a beautiful translucent glow.
Pleased with himself, Swiftclaw gazed at Ebonyear lovingly. "So what do you think?.. I hope this makes up for getting you with kits so soon..."

The white bundle of fur was mumbling on her way as Swiftclaw guided her through the territory. What had been so important she had to close her eyes? She followed his scent carefully, even though his tail rested on her shoulder. One of her kits moved, causing her to inhale sharply. But she continued following, padding after her secret lover.
When he called 'Now' her eyes flashed open. And as soon as they did, she purred loudly.
"Swiftclaw! It's beautiful!" She gushed, nudging his head with hers. It was extremely romantic... even if it was slightly cheesy. But Ebonyear didn't care. She licked his ear before batting it playfully.
"Of course it makes up for it. Kits are supposed to be a blessing anyhow..." Then she added quietly, "Even if Silverwhisp is raising them." |

Swiftclaw let out a soft purr, then blushed when he realized what he'd done. He was supposed to be Ebonyear's big strong warrior, not her bundle of fluff. He rested his muzzle on top of her head for a moment, then touched noses with her. "I'm glad you like it," he sounded relieved, "I thought it was pretty, so I figured, 'Hey, why not bring a pretty cat here?' " He paused, listening to his love for awhile. His orbs widened slightly at the news of Silverwhisp raising them. "But...you are..eventually going to tell our kits, and the clan they're ours...right?" The poor tom was saddened by the fact that he was finally a father, but his kits and clan might never know.

Ebonyear sighed.
"Yes, of course. I can't hide the truth for long, and no matter what our kits will know. Just... as soon as I know they won't hate me for it." She nudged him again, smiling slightly.
"Don't worry, fur-ball. Everything'll turn out fine. Hey -- maybe you can mentor one. You can get really close to them..." She trailed off.
She attempted to intertwine her tail with his.
"I love you, you know that?" |

Hmm is it fun to type in small letters? Tehe. x3 I think I'll try.
Swiftclaw let out a relieved breath. "As long as our kits will know, we'll be okay." he assured her.
Licking her darkened ear, the tom grinned, "Don't worry my love, they won't hate you. You're their mother, and there's nothing to hate." He began to groom her fur, going over it with soft, soothing little strokes of his tongue. Pausing for a moment, he let out a small sigh. "Who mentors our kits is up to Loststar, not us dear one. But everything will turn out alright." Swiftclaw mewed with conviction in his words. He twined his tail with hers as well, and softly purred "I know you'll love me for as long as I love you, which is an eternity."

Ebonyear continued her purr, then broke away from him and batted his ear.
"You're it." And with that, she ran closer to the river that emitted from the falls. She pounced into it, swimming to the other side.
(I vote they find the Hidden Cave. >_>) |

Swiftclaw looked startled for a few moments, then quickly regained his composure. "Hey! No fair!" he yowled, pretending to be upset, "You can have all the headstart you want Eb, I'm going to catch you no matter what!" -cough cough Swiftclaw n_n- The lean tom decided to try and jump over the river, and he backed up, bunching his muscles for his jump. Soaring over it, he realized he had misjudged his leap, and as his front paws landed on the ground, his back paws slipped into the water, and into the river he went. Coughing and Sputtering, Swiftclaw finally came up and sat on the bank near Ebonyear. He raised his soaked head and shot a rather pitiful look at his love.
(I agree ^^)

Ebonyear giggled, but didn't give in the the pitiful look. She bounced over to the rock the water dripped over. She followed the sage a bit, then seemed to disappear.
"Hey Swiftclaw, come here! I found something!" She called, looking around the small cave she wondered into.
(Post 'em coming over, then I'll post a thread in the cave.) |

(Kays)
"Mousedung!" Swiftclaw muttered under his breath. He could never get that cute look to work anymore. He shook himself and licked his fur as best he could, trying to get dry and fix his fur. He began padding over to where Ebonyear was. "What is it?" he asked, making his way rather slowly over to the cave.
