i don't love you.........you love me

[raid]

Perilstar couldn't help but wonder when he would see the lovely she-cat Vividstar. The sun was beginning to warm the land. Though the night still lurked, its presence unforgiven and something that would never leave. They were supposed to meet today, though he wasn't sure if it would or would not happen. He couldn't be entirely sure. For it was hard to go throughout the clan terra hoping to find her. However the border shared with Celestialclan wasn't much so it shouldn't be that much of a challenge to the find the she-cat he wished to see. He sighed softly, the perfection he had sought for in a cat, fulfilled by one she-cat of a different clan.

Ha. Yeah right. Who was this tom kidding? Vividstar was only needed for his plan to work. For Larkstar was not a naive she-cat, she was too experienced...and Lynxstar was too far away, that only left the young lovely Vividstar. He had only thought of a brilliant plan involving that which required the leader to love him. Of course she didn't meet the needs for his perfection. No cat ever would besides himself and perhaps kits he might have one day. Though the she-cat that would be their mother would not meet his perfection level. Never would one another. He would just simply need to carry on his blood-line. His fur bristled lightly as he thought the plan through his head, love and then merge. It was simple enough...or so he thought? "Vividstar?" He murmured softly?

Vividstar left her territory behind, going beyond the border slightly before she began to slow her pace, stick to the shadows and try to mask her scent. She lurked for a while before she spotted him, her eyes narrowed. Her clan would never approve, but she did not care, maybe he could help her? Still she would keep her guard up, she would not prsent herself as a weak she-cat. She was anything but. She tossed her head high in the air and stalked soundlessly out of the undergrowth. "Yes?" She meowed softly. Her tail was held high in the air and her muscles were lightly tensed, presenting her as a rather wise she-cat, who was also quite tough. Really though her heart was thudding against her chest wall so loud that it rung in her ears loudly.

Trying her best to ignore the sound of her own heart beating she looked up at the toms deep ordbs. "You asked me to meet you?" She questioned. She looked to her left slightly, and then to her right, it was so quiet. The sky above glowed orange with the sun setting in the sky, she turned back to watch Perilstar carefully. Why was she here anyway? Why did she even bother coming?

As he spotted her he quickly let the normal Tempestclan tom slip from his mind. Allowing a more sophisticated tom show through. The plan still unfolding in his head of the power he would gain. Of course he would have to share it with Vividstar, the control over the combined clans. However if he could get her to have his kits, she would be unable to do much until they were born. Hearing her words he smiled softly. His composure softening into a relaxed state. "Yes......." His voice was soft as he took a step towards her. His gaze shifted to her own eyes.

"I hoped you would come. I can't stand being away from you truly. I search for perfection and have only found it in you." His voice was caring and soft. Almost painful inside. But he smiled lightly and held still. He would not seem as if he was lying. He couldn't. It would ruin everything. One slip and it was all over.

She tried her best to remind herself to remain calm, what on earth was she even doing meeting another leader when she was not desperate for help, out of clan territory and alone? She gulped and her tail twitched slightly behind her, though not in any bad way. She just had to act natural. How would Ghoststar have acted has she found herself in this situation? Of course Ghoststar, the brilliant leader was not so naive and would not have found herself in a hopeless situation like this. She raised her head slightly to meet Perilstar in the eye. Everything was going to be ok.

She would now have to make the best out of what she had, but what Perilstar next caught her off guard. She felt a lump rising in her throat and she was almost sure there was head coming from her ears. She inwardly cussed herself. "Nice to see you too Perilstar, it has been quite a while." She purred. It would be like the harmless flirting that would pass between single warriors, or would it?

The tom was easily a charmer. His handsome looks had been passed down from his father and mother. They were a perfect couple. His father a handsome sought after tom who had only been won over by the most beautiful she-cat in the clan. Maybe he was playing the thoughts up a bit but that was how he saw it. Or what he had been told. His faded green eyes watched her closely. His ears swiveling to catch her words. Purring slightly at the thought of the words he let a frown show loosely across his maw. "It is indeed something I wish that would happen more often." He quickly stepped towards her brushing by and turning quickly to let his eyes lock onto hers. He relaxed and let a purr rise in his throat.

Smiling harmlessly he dropped to the ground, sitting quickly and curling his tail around his paws. "That is, me seeing more or you. Or vice verse." He found himself letting the lies go easily. It wasn't hard to try and woo a she-cat into loving him. Or at least he found it quite easy.

Vividstar felt oddly restless inside and she couldn't stop the tip of her tail from twitching slightly every few seconds. She pursed her kissers lightly trying to get herself to calm down a bit. She felt rather mouse brained for a second, for agreeing to this, what would Starclan think? She gulped. she was a clan leader, she could do what she wanted to right? She felt her fur tingle then, the vibration reaching her skin and sinking right into her. She sucked in a sharp, but not angry, breath to keep herself sane. As she looked up to meet his deep, mysterious eyes she felt slightly intimidated, or even under a spell. They were very alluring for a tom's eyes. She gazed back, her eyes lighter and less mysterious, but she was still on her guard, if that was possible now. It felt like he could see right through her, like he could already tell what she was thinking. One day she would be a leader who could do that, one that could see right through everybody, greatly respected, just like Ghoststar. She missed that familiar silver tabby, and a part of her always would. What would Ghoststar think of her now, doing this? She stayed standing and watched him carefully. "And if we get caught, then what will we do?" She asked slightly more uptight now than she was before. A part of her deep inside told her that this was wrong.

Watching the she-cat Perilstar couldn't help but think the plan might be ruined. But no he would keep his cool. He had to keep his cool after all. The tom looked at her as she spoke. Knowing quite well that she might spook if he said the wrong thing. He had to think things through now. But quickly. He couldn't hesitate, or could he. What if he took a different approach. Acting as if he wasn't sure what would happen but yet knowingly express that it had to. Deciding on the second opetion he worked up the words in his mind. Ready to reply to the words Vividstar had spoken. "I don't know what we will do. But I want this has to happen....us...Vividstar I can not go long without seeing you anymore. My heart aches without you near. " Shuffling his paws to make it seem as if he were a nervous apprentice, Perilstar looked up at the sky. " I'm sorry...I spoke too much..." Sighing he looked back at the ground, pretending as if it might be too late for them to work out.

Vividstar looked up at Perilstar, it was then that she saw a more helpless side of the large, powerful Tempestclan leader. She really did feel her heart go out to him at that point. She took a step forward, but she was so unsure of what to do. "It will." She meowed softly with her silky meow. She was hesitant but she brushed his flank with her tail. "But we can't go on meeting in secret like this if it is to happen, we will need to tell others, our clans, we can't just tell our deputy or something that wouldn't work, but our homes, they are so far away, it would become a burden." She whispered softly. She sniffed once and her head hung limply, then she looked back up at Perilstar, eyes wide and sorrowful. "It will be ok wont it?" She asked. She looked over her shoulder at that moment as she had a strong feeling that she was being watched, but it must just be her imagination. Hopefully Perilstar would have some idea of what to do about their relationship. He was a strong leader with a great mind, unlike herself, newer and a bit unsure. She could trust him to come up with something for both of them. A breeze caught her felt and she felt a soft shiver run right through her.

Perilstar mentally gave himself a point, he was winning this game. It was so easy by now. To finally have this work and to finally get somewhere. At least they were both on the same page. But what surprised him was her movements. She brushed her tail along his flank. That was what was supposed to happen...right? After all she was supposed to love him, but was he supposed to feel a slight existence of the same feeling. Passing the tiny emotion off as nothing he turned back to the plan. He couldn't just come out and say it. He'd have to feel stupid at first. Be saddened by the fact they might not be able to make it work. And then ta da, he'd have the answer. Taking a deep breath the large tom sighed softly. His gaze looking at the ground before catching the shiver that ran through her. Taking a chance he moved closer to her, curling his tail around her body and blocking the breeze. "It will be okay....as soon as this is...." Stopping mid-sentence, Perilstar couldn't believe how easy acting was coming to him. "I have an idea." His voice was soft as he gazed up at the sky and then back to Vividstar. "It's...well not the best....and I know Starclan may disapprove....but I can't stand to have you away. I need you close, beside me and my clan.....our clan." The hints were subtle as he pulled away, locking onto her gaze with his own. "A merge Vividstar. Imagine it. Two clans living together, us...together." His eyes sparkled slightly and a small, soft, reassuring smile lit upon his maw.

[MiNTY♥]

its short but its the best I can do right now, sorry.

Vividstar shared his disappintment and shame as hse hung her head slightly, but they would have to work things out in the end. It all felt so natural, like it was just meant to be. She was happy after all, wasn't she suppsoed to be happy? Or did she have to sacrifice the best thing in her life for her clan? Well Starclan would have to see about that. She locked eyes with him, hers soft and gentle, gullable even. She let out a soft purr letting him do all the talking for the moment. Why not? Why should they not merge? She was a little unsure of the title as leader after all and this would be perfect, Perilstar could help her, and they could be together all the time and everything would be so perfect. Her eyes glittered as she imagined what it could be like, it would be perfect! Plus their clan would be very strong. "Its perfect!" She gasped. Still a little dazed by the idea. She then felt the corners of her maw turning up slightly. "When will we tell everyone? Can we do it together...I don't think I could do something like that on my own." She meowed. Then she realised that all the clans would have to know about this for them to be one clan. "The gathering?" She suggested.

Annnddd the bait was taken. Plan set into actions. Working its way into the beautiful home stretch. The plan had worked and the master mind whom had thought it up was trying hard to not let the smug gri nreach his face. He was doing good and one wrong move could ruin this all. Inwardly thanking his self control for keeping the smirk off his face he looked up at her purring happily and licking the side of her face gently. "It's perfect. The gathering. I could care less what the others think for now we shall be together and after all that is all that matters." His voice was caring. Genuine care. Odd for a tom who didn't like this she-cat at all. Maybe this good guy reputation was working too easily. No he would brush it off as soon as he could leave the side of Vividstar. If that would ever be. Of course now he'd have to wait for the gathering...which hopefully wouldn't be that much longer. Excitement surged through his body. Of course the reaction of the other clans hadn't come to mind. But why would it? The power hungry tom was getting what he wanted.

[MiNTY♥]

"Yes, thats all that matters." She purred softly. "I wont tell my clan before, everyone will find out at the gathering?" She meowed softly. Then she noticed the sky was growing darker and she let out a soft gasp. "I am sorry Perilstar, I must go and take our medicine cat apprentice to become out medicine cat, I am afraid Deergrace has disappeared." She meowed hastily. She gently touched her nose to his ear then took a stop back. "Goodbye, until next time." She purred and turned, dashing throught the trees, nothing more than a quick blur. She moved as fast as she could manage, then remembering she would have to keep her energy she bagan to slow down to a steady pad. It would be good to have a new medicine cat, a fresh start for the clan, but soon it wouldn't just be her clan, it would be his as well, no more Celestialclan. It was for the better though, everything would work out. Reaching a tunnel she slipped through it and appeared in camp.

Vividstar to Celestialclan camp.
