Shadowclaw & Summershudder {Demyx Time Feak Loves The Sitar Song}

Shadowclaw slowly led Summershudder through Bright Forest. He winced every time she slipped on her blood, catching her with his shoulder and heaving her back on her paws. His orange/yellow gaze darted frantically around the woodland, searching for a place to stay, where his love could rest while he cleaned her wounds. During his search, the pure black tom thought back to the battle. Arrowpelt had given a fierce battle and would've been useful in BetrayalClan, if he wasn't so devoted to WindClan, he thought. But that was then, I'm a changed cat now, he thought quickly after that. I wonder if Summershudder will like my new personality.... His thoughts were interrupted when his orange/yellow eyes spotted a perfect haven for the two cats. Sunlight filtered through the branches above the tiny clearing, giving just enough light. The den was nestled in the roots of a giant oak tree, giving shelter from wind, rain, and snow. A stream ran close to the oak tree, and a large rock was covered in moss close to the stream. Shadowclaw could smell all the prey coming from the woods beyond the clearing. The only thing Shadowclaw knew that would help Summershudder was cobwebs to stop bleeding, but other than that he was clueless. The tom led the gray she-cat toward the den, leading her inside and sniffing the interior. A fox had been here, but was long-gone. The den was perfectly sized for the two cats, with the back deep enough to not be seen, and the dirt fairly comfortable. Shadowclaw un-twined his tail from Summershudder's and raced out, collecting moss from the rock. He brought in enough for two nests and quickly made them, letting Summershudder snuggle against them. "I'll get cobwebs in a second but is there anything else you need or want?" he asked, worried.

Shadowclaw nuzzled Summershudder affectionately. "Well, I'm here now and we can start over. The past is the past and we can do nothing about it," he comforted her gently, licking the top of her head.

Shadowclaw sighed. "I didn't leave anything behind. I had nothing there except you, but you're here. If the BetrayalClan cat's come back, I'll deal with them, and your brother. Don't worry, love. I'm still a brave, strong tom, ya know. And besides, your past can't follow you here, we crossed a river father back, so they can't follow our scent. And they'd probably think we're at ShadowClan, not Bright Forest. Let's start our lives over, okay? I'll catch you some prey, get some water and cobwebs, and then we can sleep," he said, cuddling her. The black tom stood and padded out of the den, quickly catching a huge rabbit. He lunged it into their den, then left and returned with a large ball of moss-soaked with water and a wad of cobwebs, which he dabbed on her wounds. He then dined with her, gulping down bites of the rabbit.

Shadowclaw nuzzled her. "Yes, we are. And we're in this together. I've never had a mate, either. Summershudder?" he asked, not really wanting to rush things. "Have you ever thought about have kits?"

Shadowclaw shivered. "Why would I want to do that? I've thought about being a father, yes. But I never thought about who the mother would be, or what they would look like. In the daydreams, it was kinda just seeing balls of fur either bouncing around a moss ball, or balls of fur pressed up against the belly fur of some unknown she-cat." He shivered. "It was creepy. But know I know who that unknown she-cat is. You. Having kits doesn't make you soft; just makes you love more things. Things that are beautiful, or cute, or furry," he said, twining his tail with hers.

Shadowclaw purred deeply, from his heart. "Just a wild guess. Me? I'm honored!" he teased, rubbing her head with his cheek.

Shadowclaw pulled her tighter into his strong, powerful chest. "We'll teach them to be noble and brave, no matter what the situation. Now, lets not think negative," he said, lovingly grooming her head.

Shadowclaw smiled, curling his tail around her side affectionately before purring deeply. "Do you need anything, love?" he asked lovingly.

Shadowclaw nodded, understanding. "Okay."

Shadowclaw smiled. "Are you sure your up for it? Your not bleeding to death, or slipping in your blood? You scared me til I was crazy, doing that stunt," he said seriously.
