Brightheart awoke . She smiled when she noticed that Cloudtail was besides her. He had been spending so much time with Daisy lately. " Maybe that's about to change..." Brightheart thought.She stood up and licked the still sleeping Cloudtail on the head.Squirrelflight walked into the den a few seconds later. " Hey Brightheart,want to go on the dawn patrol?" the she-cat asked walking towrd Brightheart. " Sure" Brightheart said cherrily ,looking once more at Cloudtail before leaving the den.
Awhile later Brightheart walked back into camp.She grabbed a mouse from the fresh-kill pile to share with Cloudtail. She hurried toward the warrior's den looking for him. When she walked into the den however it was empty. She walked back into the center of the camp where she saw Ashfur sitting ,eating a vole. " Hey Ashfur" she mowed quickly " Do you know where Cloudtail is?" . " He's in the nursery with Daisy" Ashfur replied as he finished eating the vole. " Oh" Brightheart said.
She hurried toward the nursery, running all the way. She was about to run into the nursey when she noticed Cloudtail. He was brushing agaist Daisy! She stood there fuming for a few seconds before she walked into the nursery. " Cloudtail!" she said rather loudly. " We need to talk". She saw the surprised look on his face. " Probalary surprised I caught him" she thought. A few seconds later when she noticed Cloudtail wasn't making a move to leave the nursery she sneered at him " Alone " she said.
She moved out of the den motioning for him to follow.She could hear his paws thumping the ground behind her. She lead him to a hollow a little away from the camp. No other cats were there. She sat down and motioned for him to sit across from her.
Finallyafter a few minutes of sinlence she exploded. " Tell me what's going on!" she shouted,screaming all the fresh kill she had heard walking throught the hollow's undergrowth away. " Why are you spending so much time with Daisy? Don't deny it everybody's noticed" she snarled walking toward him. When she didn't reply for after several minutes she mowed softly. " Do you still love me?"
