As you can tell I got my name from my white and brown splotched pelt. My eyes were narrow and a bright emerald green. Surely a she-cat had likes for a tom, I know I did. That, however, didn't make me want to ask anything.
Scarheart was a tall tom with muscles. His pelt was a dark ginger with pitch black splotches all over his back. He had big, blue eyes, I couldn't help but stare. Yeah I have a crush, you have a problem? Get over it.
I couldn't bring myself to ask him. Whenever I tried I froze feeling very small. What would he say anyway? He would probably think of me as a freak and avoid me for the rest of my life. That would hurt me so bad. I hauled myself out of the warrior's den and searched for Scarheart. There he was, standing right beside Cloverleaf. Though I was over waiting, I walked straight up to him.
"Hey, will you go hunting with me?" I asked shuffling my paws. Simple question, hard back stabbing answer. His blue eyes flashed and a small flame of hope ignited in me.
"Scarheart, don't go with her. She's such a creep," Cloverleaf smiled at Scarheart sending flaming amber orbs at me.
"Yeah sure," Scarheart smiled and I blushed nervously. We walked off into the woods and I watched him hunt. Slowly Scarheart stalked towards a mouse, and then he tore after it. I shook my head, who knew he was that fast?
I turned away smiling and instantly stopped as I smelt a vole. I dropped to the ground allowing myself to creep forward. Slowly I gained speed then killed the vole with a swift blow to the neck.
Good catch," Scarheart surprised me and I jumped in the air. Then I calmed down and nodded. Why was I such a chicken? I couldn't fess up could I? That's when I surprised myself.
"Uh, Scarheart. I really like you, if you want, do you wanna be mates?" I whispered. I know he would say no. I shouldn't have done it, I shouldn't have done it.
"Yes," I felt my heart stop and I slowly turned to look at him, did he really just say yes. He nodded as if reading my mind, "I never really liked Cloverleaf anyways. She always puts cats down. Plus I've had a crush on you for a while."
"Really?" I asked. Was this a dream…? No.
Scarheart just nodded and smiled, "Let's go back to camp," I smiled letting my emotions show. Then we twined tails and walked back to camp through the bramble entrance. Cloverleaf stopped her conversation with Fallenshadow and smirked.
"Was that for a dare Scarheart?" She asked like the complete snob she was.
"No, this was my choice, and if I were you, I'd keep my emotions quiet," Scarheart rolled his eyes and walked off with me into the dark warriors den.
From that day on I gained courage, and a mate who loved me back.
