Did The Journey Make Her Feel Different?
Cinderheart's POV
"I have decided that Lionblaze and Dovepaw will go for ThunderClan."
Cinderheart started, and swiftly glanced at the golden warrior. Why him?! Why couldn't Firestar have chosen a different cat? Now I'm going to worry about him and Poppyfrost! As fast as she dared, she looked away from Lionblaze. Suddenly her pelt experienced a scorching feeling. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Lionblaze looking at her. Why is he looking at me, did he catch me staring at him?
Lionblaze's POV
What! Me!? Firestar, there has to be a mistake! Suddenly a huge commotion arose around both me and Dovepaw going on the quest. Many meows of "Why them" and "Can't more experienced warriors go?" Quickly he snuck a glance at Cinderheart. If I go on this quest, how in StarClan's name will I make sure she will be okay? She was so distraught after Honeyfern and Hollyleaf's deaths. Even though those deaths weren't my fault, I promised myself I would look after her. Suddenly Icecloud, Rosepetal, and Hazeltail had surrounded him. Inwardly, Lionblaze groaned. These she-cats had been following him around the camp and begging to go on every patrol with him. Trying to locate a cat that could help him, he spotted Cinderheart nearby. Trying to get her to assist him, he shot her a prolonged glance that contained a wordless plea for help.
Cinderheart's POV
As she looked back at Lionblaze, she saw he had a pleading look on his face. Noticing the desperate she-cats around him, she got the picture. Giving her head a tiny shake, she headed over towards the crowd.
"Hey Hazeltail, Brambleclaw wanted you to lead a hunting patrol."
"Sure. Rosepetal, Icecloud, Lionblaze are you coming?"
"Sorry, Hazeltail, but Brambleclaw said he wanted Lionblaze and me to train our apprentices."
Hazeltail shot her a death glare, but stalked out with the other she-cats following. Lionblaze heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thanks. Every time they see me they mob me!"
"I know, I've watched them. You should know they all think you are going to pick one of them as a mate."
"As much as I want to rant about how much I detest that, there's something I wanted to ask you. Are you okay if I go on this journey to find the water? I mean, I want to make sure you would be okay since both Hollyleaf and Honeyfern died we have both been closer to each other since it hit us the hardest."
"I'll be fine, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. You promise me to be careful right?"
Lionblaze gave her a long look, but finally nodded. Cinderheart heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank-you."

However both young cats had no idea of the ordeal ahead.
