Stormsong: Chapter 15
In this chapter, Flowerfur is the antagonist ("bad guy"), and she's also lesbian, but this is not supposed to mean that I think lesbians are evil, or anything like that. I don't want to inspire lesbian hate.
"I'm alright..." Deathberry groaned as he lay in the medicine den. Flowerfur and Stormsong gazed at him. Well, Stormsong gazed at him. Flowerfur had eyes only for Stormsong.
Flowerfur's lavender-purple eyes blazed on her tan face. Her bushy brown tail swished back and forth. Stormsong leaned slightly into her, a smile tugging at her lips even though she was watching a pained, ill Deathberry. Deathberry scanned the she-cats' faces with a slightly puzzled expression on his face. What is going on there? he wondered. Seeing this, Stormsong clenched her jaw, hiding her smile. I hope he didn't notice, she thought. Then, Why do I hope that? It's not like I have a crush on her. Well... do I?
"Hey! Apprentices!" said a deep voice behind Stormsong, jolting her out of her thoughts. Stormsong and Flowerfur spun around. Deathberry lifted his head. What apprentices? wondered Stormsong. Are Amberkit and Skykit apprentices already? But no, Stormsong didn't see her little siblings. She saw only Mudfur, staring into the medicine den. "Oh, right! You guys are warriors now," he said, but he didn't sound like it was a revelation. He knew all along. He was pretending he forgot, to annoy us, realized Stormsong, and wished she hadn't realized that.
Mudfur looked at Stormsong and Flowerfur. "Come over," he beckoned Stormsong. When she got near enough, he whispered, "I'm so disappointed in you. I thought you'd find a nice tom one day, not chase down a she-cat, you [SWEAR WORD!]" he said. Then he stopped, for someone had actually shouted, "Swear word!" He spun around angrily.
Amberkit and Skykit burst out laughing. Mudfur left the den quickly, humiliated. "We centered the deputy, Stormsong!" laughed Skykit. "Censored," corrected Stormsong. Amberkit turned to Skykit and said sternly, "You really have to stop pronouncing things wrong now that you're an apprentice, Skypaw."
"Wait, back up! You're an apprentice already?"
"Ah, it's just a game," smiled Amberkit. "I sat on top of the WillowStump and made Skykit an apprentice. I put a whole bunch of old moss on top, to really make myself as high as Yarrowstar!"
"YOU PUT OLD MOSS ALL OVER THE WILLOWSTUMP?!"
