Brambleclaw padded along with the border patrol, head and tail down. Squirrelflight and Ashfur were there! And there was Whitewing with her beautiful green eyes…Brambleclaw stopped and shook his head. He was in love with Squirrelflight! Right?
He glanced at Whitewing and at Squirrelflight and right then Whitewing looked beautiful and Squirrelflight looked like a dark forest cat. He shuttered in fear.
"Brambleclaw?" a sweet voice asked. Brambleclaw turned around expecting to see Squirrelflight but it was Whitewing! "um…yeah?" he replied uncertainly. "I need to talk to you." She replied blushing a little bit.
Once they were out of earshot from Ashfur and Squirrelflight he turned and asked "What did you want?". "Well, um this is kind of hard to say" she mewed. "Tell me" he meowed in encouragement. "I think I'm…falling in love with you!" she blurted out nervously. She ducked her head in fear of being hit from the tough warrior. Instead Brambleclaw just stood there with an uncertain grin on his face.
"Why aren't you trying to hurt me?" she asked. "Lately Squirrelflight and Ashfur have been really show offy and I've been falling for you" he admitted. "You've been falling f-for me?" she gasped. Brambleclaw gave a tiny nod. "Oh Brambleclaw!" she exclaimed happily and went over and licked his ear. Brambleclaw purred happily before stopping and sighing "We better head back". "Yes, we should." Whitewing meowed grooming her chest fur to hide her unhappiness. "What if we were mates instead" he meowed cautiously. "Really?" Whitewing squeaked. "I mean if you want to but- I'd loved to!" she exclaimed. Brambleclaw purred in happiness. Whitewing and Brambleclaw twined their tails together and headed back to camp.
"BRAMBLECLAW!" Squirrelflight hissed. "Huh? Wha?" he glanced up at Squirrelflight and meowed "Oh it's you". "What are you doing with Whitewing?" Brambleclaw glared at the way she pronounced his mate's name. He knew she had been with Ashfur to make him jealous but he pretended to not know. He didn't love her anymore, he loved Whitewing. "I love Whitewing now, she is my mate." Squirrelflight gasped and stared angrily at him. "You will regret that Brambleclaw" she hissed furiously. Brambleclaw blinked as she stomped off. Brambleclaw shrugged and went over to share tongues with Whitewing who was busy trying to groom a bit of fur that was just out of reach.
