Chapter 1: A New Beginning

"This is perfect!" Leafpool exclaimed.

"No, it's not," Crowfeather grumbled. "It's so sheltered. I don't like it at all. I'd much rather sleep out in the open."

"Fine, do that, but let me warn you, if a dog creeps up on you while you're sleeping, I won't save you."

"Okay, okay! Fine! You win." Crowfeather sighed.

Leafpool shot him a smug smile. "You go find some moss to make nests and I'll go find some herbs. We'll meet back here before sundown, okay?"

Crowfeather nodded, and they split up. He padded off towards some trees while Leafpool hunted for some herbs; she soon found loads of cobwebs, juniper berries, chervil, and poppy seeds. She decided that that was enough for the day, and she would continue gathering herbs tomorrow.

When she got back, two nests had been built and Crowfeather was already asleep in one. She smiled when she heard him snoring.

She flicked her tail lightly across his muzzle. "Goodnight, my love," she murmured.

She settled down in the nest beside Crowfeather's and fell fast asleep.

It was a new day, which marked the start of a new beginning, a new life, for Crowfeather and Leafpool.

Leafpool woke up a little after dawn, and could not suppress a small mroww of amusement when she saw Crowfeather snoring and drooling at the same time. To top it off, his head was hanging out of his nest and his rump was high up in the air.

Leafpool slipped out to gather more herbs. By sunhigh, she had found some feverfew, tons of moss, horsetail, yarrow, comfrey, coltsfoot, dock and goldenrod. She was exhausted, so she went back to the camp.

When she had finished arranging the herbs, she went to wake Crowfeather up.

"Psst! My love, wake up; it's past sunhigh."

"Unf, mph, pft," Crowfeather grumbled, swatting a paw at Leafpool.

Leafpool's temper got the better of her. She jabbed Crowfeather with two claws. He screeched and rolled out of his nest.

He got slowly up to his paws, glaring at Leafpool. "What did you do that for?!"

"It was the only way I could wake you up," Leafpool meowed.

"What for?" Crowfeather growled.

Leafpool purred and curled her tail around Crowfeather's neck. "To mark the start of our new life, I want to give you a surprise."

Crowfeather's eyes lit up. "Okay!"

Leafpool padded in a circle around Crowfeather, lifting her tail high so that the scent emanating from below her tail hole would be stronger.

Crowfeather's eyes glazed over, and he stared, transfixed, at Leafpool's dripping pussy as she swayed her hips seductively.

"Come on, my precious Crowfeather," she whispered. "I know you like what you see, so come get it."
