Warriors: Loving a Betrayer

Ch.1 The Grey Warrior

Gah, I hate these stupid thorn bushes! My fur gets so tangled when we go through these stupid things. Tanglepelt thought as she chased after Ashfur, "Hey, Ashfur, wait up, ah, I'm stuck again!"

Ashfur stopped and turned around with a mrow of laughter as he watched Tanglepelt struggling in the thorn bush.

Tanglepelt has a black and brown pelt that is semi-long fur that for some strange reason is always getting caught or tangled somehow. Ashfur is her best friend in the entire forest, though she does get a little jealous when Ashfur stares longingly at Squirrelflight. Even through that she still tries to be friends with Squirrelflight because they're so much alike, they love to cause the guys trouble. Brambleclaw and Ashfur would have a tougher time keeping up with them if it weren't for Tanglepelts crazy evil fur.

"I can't leave you alone for even a moment, can I Tanglepelt?" Ashfur sighed padding over to help Tanglepelt battle the thorns.

"It's not my fault my fur hates me. Hey, where'd Squirrelflight and the rest of the hunting patrol get to?"

"Probably to find whatever preys left. Your screeching like a kit probably scared it all off," he mumbled around a thorn. "Now, hold still."

Tanglepelt waited rather impatiently while Ashfur pulled, she winced as it grazed her but kept her mouth shut. Once she was free she dashed off sniffing a squirrel. Sighing again Ashfur mumbled, "Just like an apprentice, or Squirrelflight, I'm surprised they're not related they're so much alike."

Pushing through the bramble screen Tanglepelt called, "Leafpool, could you help me."

"What is it now, Tanglepelt?"

"Well, I… got a thorn stuck in my nose."

"Oh, you and thorns. Your mother should have called you Thornkit instead of Tanglekit. Although both names suit you well. Now let me see your nose, how deep is the thorn?"

"Not- geh." Tanglepelt held back a scream as Leafpool gently tugged the thorn free of her nose.

Putting a poultice on it Leafpool scolded her for the millionth time, "Tanglepelt by the time you're an elder Firestar's going to have to change your name to Scarpelt."

"You sure want my name changed Leafpool. Maybe I'll ask to have it changed just for you," Tanglepelt teased back.

Once finished Leafpool playfully batted Tanglepelts ear and shooed her off. Turning to the fresh kill pile Tanglepelt spotted Ashfur and dashed over to him. "Hi, may I eat with you?"

"Sure."

After their meal Ashfur and Tanglepelt shared tongues and curled up to nap in the sun together. Tanglepelt gave a contented sigh as she drifted off to sleep.
