Jayfeather lay in his nest picturing the beautiful white she-cat that had loved him long ago. Why did I have to be Jay's Wing? Why not some other cat! He feel like screaming it to StarClan. No...He wanted to scream it to the Ancient Cats. He wanted to stay with Half Moon and never come back. He loved her and she loved him. He wasn't going to go back there to tell her he couldn't love her. A sickening feeling clenched his belly. Then he drifted off into a slumber that melted into the familliar rocky mountians. He will tell Half Moon he loved her and never... Never go back to Clan life. Suddenly he turned around to see her. The white she-cat with pretty green sparkling eyes. Half Moon! He felt like he could soar.
"May we take a walk?" Half Moon said happily. Jayfeather quickly agreed, happy to be with her.
"Half Moon," he said, "I..I love you."
"I love you too." she said purring
Just then the sheet of snow on the ground slid and with it tumbled Half Moon. No! Jayfeather thought. He raced over and saw Half Moon hanging by and claw and as he reached to grab her she fell. He reached out his paw while shrieking and just as it touched her soft fur a screen of black filled his vision.
