"Hollyleaf, you love him."

"You're right, I do love Breezepaw…."

….huh? Oh, you again. Please, don't intrude on my moping…are you still here? Why won't you leave?!

I was staring around camp at nothing in particular, many emotions running through me at the moment: Anger, confusion, embarrassment…but, mostly confusion. Anger because Jaypaw had managed to force the information out of me. Embarrassment because I had blurted out I love Breezepaw, and confusion because…I don't know why.

Why do I love Breezepaw? It doesn't make any sense! I would never fall in love with a WindClan cat! …Would I? I don't know, but…do you smell Jaypaw?

I whirled around to see my blind brother grinning, eyes filled with both irritation and amusement. "Mouse-brain," I snarled. "You shouldn't spy on other people's thoughts!"

He shrugged, "If I have the talent, I might as well use it." He chuckled.

I hissed with embarrassment, and then stomped off toward the forest. "Wait!" Jaypaw called.

I stopped, then turned and glowered at him, "What?"

His eyes narrowed at me, "Don't go near the WindClan border."

For a moment, I felt shock and pain pierce me. He doesn't think I'm a loyal ThunderClan cat!

It was very hard to resist the urge to slash Jaypaw right then and there, but I managed to ignore it as I ran away from my brother and into the forest, where I could be alone.

I didn't feel like hunting. In fact, I felt sick. Not sick like a fever, no…just, sick…huh, what? …Excuse me; you say I'm lovesick?!

You know, I could make you leave, but I'll let you stay…unless you bother me some more.

I began cursing under my breath, "Filthy, no good, worthless, fox-dung!" I snarled.

I froze, then, when I smelled a strange scent. Well, not strange, but it wasn't ThunderClan. I turned to see Breezepaw crossing the border.

He looked at me, and then called, "Hollyleaf!"

I went rigid where I stood. How did he know I was Hollyleaf?

I turned to him, "Hello, Breezepaw."

When he stopped in front of me, he swept his amber gaze over me for a moment.

I broke the silence, "How did you know I had become Hollyleaf?"

Breezepaw looked nervous, then he hesitated as he spoke, "I-I heard you and Jaypaw talking the other day, and…" He stopped, and I could see he was as nervous as me.

"What did you hear?" I asked, half-horrified, half-flattered.

"I heard you had become a warrior…" He began. "And, I heard something else…"

Oh, no… "What is it that you heard?" I tried to keep my breathing steady.

"I-I, I heard you say…" He gulped, then there was a pause. When he finally spoke, he said. "I heard you say that you loved me."

My green eyes widened, "You heard that?"

He was only able to nod, then he said, "I wanted to know…is it true?"

Everything was quiet except for the wind rustling our fur. I was tongue-tied, then I spoke, "Yes, it was true…everything."

For some reason, I saw his amber eyes light up bright. He then mewed excitedly, "Could I meet you here again, tonight?" He asked me, his amber eyes pleading.

I couldn't resist, much as I tried. "S-sure."

"Great!" He mewed, smiling at me, then he ran back over the border.

I sighed, going slowly back to camp, "I'm no better than Lionblaze…" But, in truth, I didn't care. You know why? Because I wouldn't get caught.

I bounded off to get some prey, then I would be ready to meet Breezepaw tonight.
