What if Leafpool's love for Crowfeather outweighed her love for her Clan? This is Leafpool's life... As a rogue.

Leafpool gazed at the WindClan moorland and sighed. "We have to go back."

"I know, I feel the same way." Crowfeather murmered.

"Crowfeather, I love ThunderClan with all of my heart, but I can't leave you."

"What are you saying?" Asked Crowfeather, hope creeping its way into his eyes.

"Spottedleaf told me to follow my heart, and my heart lies with you."

Crowfeather looked at Leafpool, love shining in his eyes. "Then we must leave immediately. I'll hunt and then we have to leave. Midnight said the Badgers were attacking the Clans and when the Clans drive them off, they might come this way. We have to go."

Leafpool nodded and watched her mate, her mate, race across the moors. He crept up on a rabbit and it fled. But Crowfeather was faster. He caught up with the rabbit and killed it. He dragged it over to her and she sunk her fangs in it.

"Mmm..." She mumbled.

Crowfeather crouched down beside her and begain to nibble on a hind leg thoughtfully. "You know, we should change our names. Other rogues and loners would think we were apart of the Clans if we keep Leafpool and Crowfeather."

"Okay. What should your name be?" Leafpool mewed. "What about Feather?"

Crowfeather stiffened, as if he was reminded of a memory and pain flooded through is eyes. It wmucas gone so quickly Leafpool thought she imagined it. "No. I want to be called Crow. What about you?"

Leafpool thought for a moment. "I like Storm... It reminds me of my mother."

"No, we have to leave the Clans behind. What about Leaf?"

"Fine." Leaf stood up and stretched. "We better get moving. I'm done with the rabbit. Are you?"

Crow took one last bite. "Yes. I'll bury it and then we can go."

The two loners had been traveling for a moon.

"How much farther Blaze?" Asked a silver she-cat.

"I don't know, Luna." A golden tom replied.

"Can we hunt? I'm pretty hungry." Luna begged.

"Okay. You rest, I'll fetch us a mouse or two." Blaze mewed.

The tom crept into a patch of ferns and Luna flopped down. Suddenly a hiss rang out. Instantly Luna was on her paws.

"Blaze! Are you alright?" The she-cat called.

"Who are you?" Came an unfamiliar growl.

Luna burst out into a small clearing where Blaze and a lithe smokey gray tom were facing off. A light brown tabby she-cat pelted into the clearing.

"Crow, calm down. These cats may not be a threat." The strange she-cat whispered.

The tom- Crow straitened out of his crouch and glared at the two loners. "Who are you?" He growled.

Blaze stepped forward, equally hostile. "My name is Blaze and this is my sister, Luna. Who are you?"

The she-cat stepped in front of Crow. "My name is Leaf and this is my mate, Crow."

"How long have you been traveling, Leaf?" Luna asked.

"Three sunrises. What about you two?"

"A moon" Blaze answered for Luna.

Leaf's POV

Leaf studied the two new cats. One was a large golden tom. He had a white spot on his chest and startling deep blue eyes. His sister looked nothing like him. She was very small, with black ear tips and three black paws. She had tufted ears but had the same dark blue eyes as her brother.

"Why are you traveling?" Blaze's gruff voice cut through her thoughts.

"We didn't belong with our family, you wouldn't understand. We were apart of two different groups who didn't like each other but we fell in love. We knew we could never be together as long as we stayed, so we left." Leaf didn't understand the spark of interest that ignighted in Luna's eyes as she spoke.

"We were banished from our home. We also had different groups, although we called them Clans." Luna mewed.

Crow's eyes widened with shock. "We called them Clans too." He mewed.

Blaze stood up. "Where are they? My sister and I, we don't belong alone. We need a group. Your Clans are perfect. Maybe you could go to ours."

"Our Clans are three sunrises away from here. Go strait through the the woods and follow the moors. Soon you'll come across a scent line. Do not cross it, wait for a group of cats to come. Tell them Crowfeather sent you. I belonged to WindClan. They live on the moors. ShadowClan lives in the dark with pines, RiverClan lives by a river, and ThunderClan lives in the trees." Crow mewed.

Luna nodded her thanks. "To get to our Clans, follow the scent trail we left. If you follow it long enough, you will come across a Peltless den. A cat named Bear lives there. Tell him you are looking for the Clans and he will lead you from there. Tell him Luna and Blaze sent you. He will know."

"We have four Clans also. There is LightningClan, who lives in the trees, BrookClan, who lives next to a river, or a brook, NightClan lives in the dark with pine trees, and BreezeClan lives on the moors. It is strange how close our lives are. I wonder if there are other Clans." Blaze mewed.

"Thank you." Leaf murmered. "We need a group of cats also. We are not loners, nor will we ever be."

Crow nodded his thanks. "We better set off. Thank you for the directions."

Leaf and Crow padded away, ready to meet this new group of cats. Hopefully things would be better there than in the four Clans in which they were born.
