Suntalon: This chapter is short, but sweet!
No love
Tigerpaw hissed with annoyance as he plucked ticks from the elder's pelts. He got fed up and marched out of the den.
There he saw cats sharing tongues, no one seemed to care that he was sitting alone, Whitepaw was with Bluefur, and Sunstar was with Leopardfoot. He choked back his sorrow and raced out of camp.
He charged towards sky oak and lay there, in self pity. Nobody loved him, for all anybody cared he could be gone forever! Thistleclaw barely noticed him anymore, he was too busy making sure Bluefur wouldn't harass Whitepaw.
With a sigh Tigerpaw rested his head on his paws and watched the leaves flutter on the ground, it was leaf-fall now. He watched the leaves fall off of trees and land before him. He heard a noise rustle in the bushes.
Tigerpaw looked up to see Goldenflower gazing down at him with worried eyes. "I didn't see you in the elders den or eating, and I knew that you weren't out hunting. I was worried about you so I came looking for you, I wanted to make sure you weren't hurt."
Tigerpaw turned hot as she said the last few words. She cares! Goldenflower lay next to him, and the sat there watching leaves flutter from trees.
Suddenly Tigerpaw pointed to two leaves that were falling off of the great oak. "Look those two leaves it's like they are dancing." He felt happiness coming off of Goldenflower.
Together they sat for the rest of the night watching leaves flitter down and intertwine each other, appearing to dance until their dance ended as they hit the soft ground.
Tigerpaw blinked open his eyes and he saw Goldenflower lying next to him, it was nearly moonhigh, but he didn't want to wake her so he rested his head next to hers and fell into a nice sleep. At least she cares!
