A/N I don't own most of this chapter (a lot of it belongs to Erin Hunter from "Sign of the Moon") if you can't pick out which parts are mine, whatever. Just know that at least half (or more) of this chapter is directly from the book by Erin Hunter. I don't own Warriors, either. *sighs*
Book of the update: Warriors series by Erin Hunter!
Prologue
He sighed faintly and Jayfeather heard his paw steps recede as he headed toward the cave. Suddenly, Jayfeather felt a slight stirring in the air beside him. An achingly familiar sweet scent wreathed around him.
"Half Moon?" he whispered.
He couldn't see the white she-cat, but he knew that she was there beside him. Her muzzle lightly touched his ear; it felt as if lightning crackled through him.
"You chose well," she murmured.
Jayfeather swallowed. "I won't forget you," he promised.
"And I never forgot you," Half Moon replied. "Not through all the moons since we last met. Go well, return to your clan now. Find the fourth."
"Wait," he said, "before you go… I need to tell you something."
He could almost feel her warm smile. "Rock told me who you are, Jayfeather. I know now."
Jayfeather looked down in shame and sorrow. "I'm sorry for lying to you, please don't be mad."
"You didn't lie to me, Jay's Wing. You are Jayfeather and Jay's Wing. You are one in the same."
Jayfeather touched his nose to Half Moon's, whispering "I love you." Into her ear just as her scent faded away. Jayfeather realized that Squirrelflight, Foxleap, and Dovewing had joined him on the cliff top.
"Can we go home now?" Squirrelflight asked.
"Yes," Jayfeather told her. "We have done what we had to."
He waited for the two she-cats to climb down back down the rocks and prepared to follow them. But as he cautiously lowered himself over the edge, he heard Half Moon's voice calling after him.
"I will wait for you forever, Jay's Wing!"
