Forbidden Secrets

This is a collab between Bluespirit and Galix

## Blurb:

The Clans are falling into dark times. When rumors say shadows are rising, two cats are pushed together by fate. Will they realize what they need to do? Or has the fate of the clans fallen into the wrong paws?

## Prologue(Galix):

A golden tabby she-cat let out a sigh and looked at the setting sun. Her pelt shone in the dim light and her green eyes were the only thing that betrayed her sadness. A gray cat approached her, his paws like feathers on the mossy ground.

“Rosewing,” he greeted her. The she-cat gave a small nod to acknowledge his presence. Rosewing looked at the pink and yellow colors of the darkening sky, then turned to the gray tom.

”Is there any hope at all?” She asked him, “Any cat who still believes in the code?” The tom shuffled his paws nervously.

“We don’t know that that will happen,” he said, “it hasn’t happened yet, so it might not.” He didn’t want to think of Rosewing’s visions of the future, where the clans abandoned the code that had been held up for generations. Her visions were strong, even for a StarClan cat.

”I’d give anything to have it not,” she said unhappily, “Stormfoot, wake up. The clans aren’t the same ones that we left behind anymore.” Stormfoot pawed the ground.

”But surely they would never give up on the code? It’s everything the clans are built around, without it there would be no clans,” panic was rising in Stormfoot’s heart. What if the clans did abandon the code? Where would that leave StarClan?

”There will be cats who still have faith,” Rosewing assured him, “but not enough to make any difference.” Her yellow eyes glanced at the sky again.

”Yet,” said Stormfoot determinedly. He would walk on the dreams of as many cats as he could reach to keep the clans together.

*They will not fall.* He vowed silently

## Chapter 1: (Bluespirit)

"Copperfire, i want you to go and look for some tansy!" Willowstalk yowled across the clearing.

"Okay, fine!". Copperfire's howl rose to the same level as her's. Grunting, Willowstalk bounded across the clearing and pushed into her den. Heading to the herd store, she grabbed some catmint and headed over to Smokebird.

"Hi, Smokebird. i brought you some catmint. Willowstalk dropped the catmint at Smokebird's muzzle and rested her front paws on Smokebird's back and gently started pressing down. Purring, she watched as Smokebird lapped up the catmint before falling into a doze. Paws coming near them caught Willowstalk's attention. Turning, she saw Copperfire drop Tansy at her paws. Willowstalk glared at Copperfire.

"Well, pick it up! i don't want dusty herbs in my herb store. Muttering under his breath, Copperfire snatched up the tansy and stormed into the medicine cat den. With a quiet hiss, Willowstalk left Smokebird and trotted over to Gentlestar.

"Hi, Gentlestar". She mewed.

"Can i go to the gathering tomorrow?".

"Of course, Willowstalk". Gentlestar mewed before joining the hunting patrol. Dragging a mouse from the fresh-kill pile, she gazed at the medicine cat den. *I wonder what Copperfire is doing.* She thought. *I will never know what he will do with those herbs.* Forgetting her mouse, she stormed across the clearing and crashed into the medicine den, her gaze resting on Copperfire, who whipped around when she came in.

"W-willowstalk". He stammered. Willowstalk hardly heard him. Stalking past him, she checked all the herbs. Grunting, she turned to Copperfire.

"Where did you put the tansy?" she asked.

"With the others". He replied.

"What!" Willowstalk howled. "How dare you put dirty herbs with the clean ones!". With a snarl, she plunged her muzzle in the stone crack where the tansy was and dragged out a bunch of dusty herbs. Hissing, she flung them at Copperfire.

"Why did you not clean them?" Willowstalk spat, jerking her muzzle to the small pool of water at the side of the den. Copperfire followed her gaze, she turned back to Willowstalk.

"I did not know you wanted them clean". He retorted.

"Well, you should have!". Willowstalk flashed back.

"Now get out there, get some more and next time, do not put dirty herbs in my herb store!" Willowstalk screamed.

"Fine!" Copperfire spat. With a hiss, he turned and stormed from the den. Willowstalk glared after him. After a few heartbeats, she let out a tired sigh and gathered the tansy and dunked them in the pool.
