Where are you? Ripplestream thought desperately, scanning the meadows for any sign of her love, Shadowfire of StormClan. The silver blue she-cat's thoughts flickered back to the day when Seamist, Shadowfire's sister, had discovered they were meeting each other. They had a vicious argument, but it hadn't come to claws and fangs yet, thank StarClan. They had once been such good friends, but since Pebblestone had gone to join StarClan, they were more edgy around each other and finally the former deputy had found out about her and Shadowfire.
Sighing wearily, the medicine cat crouched lower in the long grass and sniffed the air. Where was he? she lashed her tail. Had he not been able to get away from camp without some cat noticing today? Her amber green eyes sparked with anxiety of being discovered again and she glanced around fearfully.

Shadowfire stepped warily onto the ShoreClan border, scenting the air carefully as he crossed. Sure enough, there was a faint trace of a recent patrol, but there was another, stronger scent in the air. Ripplestream, he thought, as his heart seemed to leap out of his chest and soar into the sky. Hurriedly, he dashed towards her as though he hadn't seen her in a moon. Actually, he hadn't - their duties to their Clans had kept both of them away. "I missed you," he murmured, as he pressed his muzzle to hers affectionately.

Ripplestream rubbed her muzzle against Shadowfire's. Eyes glowing, she purred happily and twined her tail with his. Then her eyes flickered with anxiety and worry, "Has any cat found out about you coming to meet me yet?" She flicked her ears, and admitted, "I-I'm always so scared to come out here and meet you, but it's all worth it," the medicine cat smiled, "Don't worry, I wasn't going to say, 'Go away, we shouldn't meet anymore,'" grinning, she jumped away and hid underneath a bush.

Shadowfire shook his head in amusement, and dropped stealthily into the hunter's crouch in an attempt to see where she had gotten to. "I'm much better than you at not getting caught," he teased, and scooted around the bush. With a mrrow of delight, he leapt onto her back, knocking her over. He mock glared into her eyes with his own amber gaze. "If you said that, I'd be so hurt that I'd hide under a bush for the rest of my life," he informed her. [/color]

Ripplestream rolled over her face was bright and cheerful. Giving Shadowfire's face a lick, she meowed, "Somehow, I can't imagine you living under a bush for the rest of your life," she grinned and pressed her warm flank to his side and purred. "So...what have you been up to in StormClan?" she asked, glancing around the border, to make sure no cat was there.

Shadowfire shrugged. "The usual. Y'know, patrols, hunting, eating sleeping, and more patrols. I think Scarletstar's still worried about the EmberClan border." Shadowfire's face darkened as he remembered the prey thefts. They had happened so long ago, and while he had been away to boot, but he could still remember the tense atmosphere at the next Gathering. He turned towards her, and butted her shoulder affectionately. "How about you?" he mewed.[/color]

Ripplestream nodded, "Um..." she didn't know what to say, then she remembered her brother. "Pebblestone..." then she realized how stupid she sounded, always trailing off into nowhere. "I haven't heard from him or seen in in my dreams since the badger killed him," her voice was pained and her eyes glistened. The medicine cat made an effort to brighten up and she told Shadowfire how Mousepaw was improving and all that.

Shadowfire nodded placidly, but he could see that Ripplestream was distressed. "I bet - no, I know that he's watching you from StarClan at this very moment," he mewed kindly. "There's no reason why he wouldn't be. After all, he loved you." He was now grasping at straws, although he prayed that it wasn't painfully obvious. He would do anything to make Ripplestream happy - anything.[/color]

Ripplestream searched Shadowfire's face, "You think he's there?" She glanced around, and meowed absently, giving her mate a sidelong look with her amber-green eyes, "Have you ever thought about joining..." the medicine cat paused for a second, "ShoreClan?" She turned her head away from him and stared down at her paws, her tail tail twitching nervously.

Shadowfire could only stare at Ripplestream for several heartbeats. "Join...ShoreClan?" he mewed blankly. He hadn't thought about anything that serious - after all, he had practically been raised in StormClan. To him, switching Clans as like heresy. Although, he had to admit, there would be some bonuses. He'd be with Ripplestream, obviously, but also Seamist and her kits. Doubtless she'd be shaken up by Pebblestone's death as well.
He shook his jet-black head sadly. "I belong in StormClan, and you know that," he mewed solemnly. Shadowfire looked away awkwardly, and prayed that she wouldn't be mad.[/color]

Ripplestream nodded, hiding her disappointment, "I know," she meowed, giving his ear a lick, "It would never work...um,I was just wondering..." she flicked her ears in embarrassment. Nodding absently, the medicine cat stifled a sigh. She had always been wanting to be a medicine cat, now she had that. Before this though, she had been training as a warrior; she had given up that to take care for her Clan, but now she was longing to be a warrior again. Her eyes gleamed with sadness as she looked over at Shadowfire.

Shadowfire's heart ached as he matched his amber gaze with hers. He hated seeing her unhappy, but for now, he was powerless to help her. "At least, in StarClan, there will be no borders to separate us," he whispered, and leaned his broad shoulders against her so that he could take in her sweet scent. She was the most precious thing in the world to him, and nothing would ever be able to send them apart - or so he thought. He nuzzled her gently, unaware of what was to come...
Seamist stalked silently between the tall blades of grass, in search of her medicine cat. She was almost certain that she was meeting Shadowfire again, instead of innocently gathering herbs. Her ears twitched as she heard another sound; it was more silent than the pawsteps of a fox, but heavier than that of prey, which could only mean one thing - another cat. And from StormClan, she could tell - the smell of marshes was heavy in the air. Still, she could tell it wasn't Shadowfire's, although it seemed very familiar. "Who are you?" she hissed quietly. "Show yourself."
OOC: Can Cloudmist know too? Just so that Sea has a bit of help? :3

ooc - Yup, sure Ripplestream purred quietly and gave Shadowfire's cheek a gentle lick. She nodded, "I hope so," she murmured. "I will be a medicine cat in StarClan as well...there won't be guarantee that...that...we can be t-together..." the light in her amber-green eyes flickered and dulled slightly. Suddenly, her ears picked up a sound coming towards them. "Quickly! On the other side of the border!" the silver she-cat nudged her mate fiercely. "Go! Just hide under a bush or something until the thing has passed. Go!"
Settling herself, she lay down and closed her eyes, as if taking a quick nap, just in case the cat or whatever happened to be in ShoreClan.Cloudmist was patrolling by herself by the border with ShoreClan and she scented another of her Clan mates close by. Maybe they would like to hunt with me or something, she thought. The tortoiseshell ran towards the scent, suddenly scenting a ShoreClan cat's VERY close by. Ooh...they had better not crossed the border... narrowed her eyes.ooc - Does that kinda make sense >.<

Seamist leaped over to where the unknown intruder was. To her surprise, it was Cloudmist. "What are you doing here?" she mewed, whiskers twitching. She heard yet another sound in the undergrowth. Ripplestream's scent had retreated to the ShoreClan side of the border, much to her annoyance, and Shadowfire was probably still hiding somewhere. She shook her blue tabby head as she sighed, "Never mind. Do you know where Shadowfire and Ripplestream are?"[/color]

Cloudmist studied at Seamist with green eyes. "What do you think I'm doing?" she twitched her tail. "And no, I don't know Ripplestream and Shadowfire are," she looked around, "I scented one of my Clan mates, so I came over here," she told the former deputy. The tortoiseshell's green eyes flickered, "Maybe that could've been Shadowfire, but apparently he's gone now..." her eyes narrowed. "Why do you even need to know where Shadowfire is anyways?"
Then the warrior remembered what Shadowfire had off-handedly told her. Him and Ripplestream were meeting secretly. Her heartbeat quickened and she wondered whether Seamist, her friend's sister, knew about that. She glanced at the ShoreClan cat quickly then looked away again.
ooc - Is that okay? The part where Shadowfire tells Cloudmist?
