Jealousy of Non-Lonely Warrior

Dustpelt strolled into camp with a mouse and plump vole in his jaws. The warm Newleaf breeze felt good to his fur. He looked around to see if Ferncloud was in camp. Now where, oh where could his beautiful mate be? He soon found her talking to Poppyfrost, another Queen. Turning his head, he saw Sandstorm and Firestar sleeping by each other with their tails twined. He hastily put his kill down, only to pick the vole up again and walk over to his 'mate'.

"...sometimes I wonder if they'll ever sleep, oh Dustpelt!" Poppyfrost meowed, seeing Dustpelt approach. "Ferncloud and I were just talking about my kits." She explained, glancing at Ferncould. "But I'll leave you two alone. Cherrykit, Molekit, come alone!" Poppyfrost called, padding away with her kits behind her.

Ferncloud watched them leave. " Is that for me?" she asked flicking her tail towards the vole. "Oh um, yeah." Dustpelt meowed, laying the plump piece of kill by Ferncloud. The pale gray she~cat swiped her tongue over her lips before taking a bite out of the vole. Dustpelt turned his head towards Sandstorm and Firestar, who had both woken up and were now grooming each others fur.

Look at them. It makes me absolutely sick. Smiling, and loving on each other. Why I'll- "Dustpelt? You still hear?" Ferncloud broke into his thoughts. "Oh yeah." he answered, quickly turning his head to her. Ferncloud looked at him for a moment then meowed," I asked if the hunting went well." she told him. "It went very well. In fact, I caught that vole." he replied smiling.

Ferncloud purred and pressed her body to his. "No wonder it tasted extra good." Dustpelt smiled, but for the first time, he wasn't comforted by her. Like there was no 'spark'. He sighed and stood up. "I'm gonna go see if I can go on the sunset patrol. Bye Ferncloud. " he called padding away. "Bye Dustpelt." Ferncloud flicked her tail in farewell.

Dustpelt padded up to Brambleclaw and meowed," Has the sunset patrol set off yet?" Brambleclaw turned to face him. "No, they've gathered about three warriors, but I'm sure they would have room for one more." Brambleclaw answered. "OK, so who all is going?" he asked ,searching the camp. "Firestar, Sandstorm, and Cinderheart. " he replied. Dustpelt's fur slightly bristled when Brambleclaw spoke Sandstorm's name. Without another word, he turned and walked away.

"Ok, we'll go to ShadowClan border, they've been quiet lately." Firestar meowed. Dustpelt began walking along with them, watching in pure hatred as Firestar's fur was brushing against Sandstorm's. Ug. "They're just a couple of mouse-brained retards." Dustpelt muttered. "What did you say?" Cinderheart asked. "Nothing, nothing at all." Dustpelt mumbled, and walked past her.

Suddenly they came to a stop. Why are we stopping, he asked himself. Oh. I'm a mouse brain, he teased himself. "Any sign of trespassers?" Dustpelt questioned, padding past Firestar.

"A patrol probably just went by, the scent markers are fresh."Sandstorm commented suddenly. It was the first time she'd spoken the whole trip. Dustpelt scented the air. Yep. Patrol probably just went by. "I'll mark the scent line!" Cinderheart meowed joyfully. She gracefully walked back and forth the border a few times before padding back. Pff. Crazy she~cat. She acts as if it's the hardest task yet.

Then I guess we shall be going." he meowed sarcastically. "Yes come on." Firestar replied, ignoring his sarcastic tone. Dustpelt roleed his eyes before racing after the patrol.

"Firestar! Firestar!" Dovepaw and Ivypaw were running up to the flame colored leader. "Yes? Is something wrong?" Firestar looked worried. The two sisters exchanged a glance before Ivypaw spoke up. "We went hunting. On our own. We were nearing WindClan border, and..." she stopped short, looking up at Firestar.

"And?" Firestar asked. This time Dovepaw spoke up. "And there was a group of WindClan cats hunting on our territory." Firestar didn't reply for a moment. "Thank you for telling me. Now run along." Firestar actually sounded cheerful. Turning to Sandstorm he meowed, "I must do something." Firestar quickly leaped on the High Rock and called, "All cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here beneath the High Rock for a Clan meeting."

Sighing, Dustpelt walked over to the High Rock."Two of our apprentices have seen WindClan cats on our side of the border. It appears they were hunting. Tomorrow I will take a warrior with me -" Dustpelt broke him off. "And I suppose that warrior would be Sandstorm?" Dustpelt sneered. Firestar looked at him calmly. "Actually, I was thinking of taking you."

Dustpelt's stomach twisted with embarrassment. Not knowing what to do, he just gave a curt nod and let Firestar continue. "And we will give WindClan a fair warning. That is all." Firestar leaped down and headed straight for him."Be ready for tomorrow, Dustpelt," he said," and be prepared for other things you might be doing." Firestar finished, walking off.
