Sandstorm couldn't sleep. Even if she tried it would have been no use. Firestar was on her mind. She loved him so much. His lovely coat and bright green eyes where to die for.

Frostfur had to her that Firestar wanted her to be his . . . . . . Mate? He hadn't asked yet but the thought was so chilling. She would have to say yes wouldn't she?

With these thoughts in her head Sandstorm went outside into the cold night air. She padded out the warriors den and looked around, no one was out. She kept out the bramble thicket and walked outside.

CRACK went a twig behind her; Sandstorm spun around and raked the intruder down the face with her claws. The cat yelped and scampered off as Sandstorm chased the cat.

Finally she stopped and plopped on the ground. Looking around her Sandstorm finally passed her nose against the dirt. The intruder smelled like fox dung and tom cat. 'At least I'm not in heat' sighed Sandstorm to herself.

Sandstorm had only been in heat once before. When a cat was in heat they could reproduce. Any other time mating would basically be raping. As sandstorm pondered these thoughts. The intruder came up behind her.

He leaped and smashed Sandstorm's head against the ground leaving her unconscious. All was black for Sandstorm.


Sorry it was so short but this first chapter was an introduction, nothing M here. I havn;t read Firestar's Quest so I don't know if/how he proposed to Sandstorm but this is my version ;D
