Mistyfoot X ?

I walked through the RiverClan camp, gazing around. All these toms were so... normal. Nothing like the gray tabby tom I had fallen in love with. He's from a different Clan, Mistyfoot! I practically screamed at myself. But I pushed the fact out of my mind and began to organize today's patrol. I decided to lead the sunhigh border patrol. "Stormfur, Reedwhisker, up for a border patrol?" Both toms nodded, and I lead us out of camp.

My stomach flipped when we neared the ThunderClan border. But then I pushed the thought, yet again, to the back of my mind. I had to focus on the patrol.

"Get off out territory!" I jumped when the yowl came from Reedwhisker, behind me. I followed his gaze to see a patrol of Brambleclaw, Whitewing, and Sorreltail. Whitewing's apprentice Icepaw had stepped over the border. The RiverClan cats ran to the scene, and the ThunderClan patrol met them at the border.

"We're not on your territory." Hissed Sorreltail, before being beckoned for silence by Brambleclaw.

"Oh, so that apprentice is invisible?" Stormfur retorted, flicking his tail to Icepaw, who hurried back over.

"Icepaw, what were you doing?" Whitewing meowed to her apprentice, who came to stand by her, fur prickling.

"I-I'm sorry! I-I-I was just trying to catch the vole that I was chasing." Icepaw stammered, eyes dancing with fright.

"Prey stealer!" Accused Reedwhisker, staring at the ThunderClan patrol.

"Lies!" Sorreltail snarled, fur bristling, crouching. Mistyfoot didn't want to fight with these cats, and she beckoned her patrol to settle down.

"We will let it slide this time, Brambleclaw." Mistyfoot meowed, looking the ThunderClan deputy in the eyes. "But do it again, and there will be a fight." With that the silver she-cat turned away, let out a breath, and padded back toward camp with her patrol, not glancing back. Finally, they reached camp and Mistyfoot reported what happened on the border to Leopardstar. The leader was not happy.

"You just let them go with our prey? How could you, Mistyfoot?" She snarled, her leopard spotted fur bristling.

"I'm sorry, it was just an apprentice. The cat didn't know what she was doing. I thought it unfair to blame it on the whole of the Clan." Mistyfoot apologized, fur growing hot with embaressment.

"Well, you and I will take a patrol over to ThunderClan, and set things straight!" With that, Leopardstar dismissed Mistyfoot, and the she-cat turned and left the den. Sighing, she padded out into the territory, laying down near the river and watched the water trickle.

Which means I have to face him. What will he think of me? I can't! I have to... While the dispute was going on in her mind, she didn't realize that across the border in ThunderClan territory, a sightless tabby collected herbs.

Jayfeather. She confirmed in her head.

Getting to her paws, she sucked in a breathwalked to the border. "Hello, Jayfeather. Fine day, eh?" Mistyfoot thought she sounded like a complete idiot. Eh?

"Great for collecting herbs." Jayfeather replied, his normal grumpy tone coming out.

"Yeah..." Mistyfoot wanted to tell him about Leopardstar, coming in a proposing battle, over an apprentice crossing the border. And finally, she meowed. "Leoardstar will be launching an attack on your Clan." She couldn't believe that had just came out of her mouth.

Jayfeather was in shock for a long moment, then things seemed to click together in his head. "Over just an apprentice crossing into RiverClan territorty?!"

"Yeah... Leopardstar does that a lot." Mistyfoot meowed. "I thought it would be fair for you to know." She meowed.

Jayfeather nodded. "Wow, thanks, Mistyfoot, your great help. Well, I should get back to camp. See you around. Good luck." He meowed and grabbed the bundle of herbs he had collected, turned, and headed back to camp.

Mistyfoot watched him go.

I love you, Jayfeather. She thought to herself.
