The very next day was beautiful out. The birds in the tree tops were chirping. The sun was shining, heatedly through its rays and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. It was certainly a good day for apprentices to get some excellent learning done today. As Jayfeather woke up refreshed and in strangely good mood than he normally is. Jayfeather actually noticed that which surprised him because he normally is very cranky cat.
Gosh he thought to himself. Why am I in such a good of a mood all of sudden? Then it struck him the most beautiful cat came in to his den just as the light shined luminously on her pelt. She looked at me with her deep blue eyes. Oh how she looked magnificent. To think that she was so incredibly, stunning that there was a sure possibly that she liked me. But I don't see why she doesn't go have kits and be happy with a different tom. There isn't anything special about me. I was just a blind cat who had special powers. Nothing is fantastic about that. I just want her to be happy, to be able to raise kits and to be a mother to them. Oh how she would make a great mother to kits. She's so sweet and kind-hearted... Ugh. Stop thinking about her. Get her out of your head.
"Hello Jayfeather how are you this wonderful morning?" Cinderheart asked in such a tender voice.
"Uh. Um." He didn't know what to say he was stunned by her presence.
"I am pretty good, its really beautiful outside," deep down he was really talking about Cinderheart being the beautiful one.
"Yes it is a nice day. I think I'm going to go take a relaxing run outside and get some fresh kill. If you want I can catch you some, fresh?"
She is just so nice.
"Thank-you very much, but really its no big deal I'll just get some from the fresh kill pile." Jayfeather didn't want her to go through any trouble to get him something to eat that was already available to him.
"No, no, it would be my pleasure and I am going to do it anyways whether you like it or not. So you can either eat one piece or two pieces cause I am catching you something." She smiled to let him now that she was just flirting and walked away to go fore-fill what she said.
Why does she have to be so difficult, but in such a cute, adorable way? Jayfeather stop it! You don't and shouldn't like her its against the warrior code just deal with the fact its against the rules. Well, I can't she just makes me so happy. The way she is, the way she smiles, talks and laughs make me have this feeling inside. I just wish I had the power to hear what she was thinking about me and really know what she thinks about this dilemma we have. Jayfeather was bickering with himself just as if he was talking to another cat! So he cleared his mind and set off to his duties.
But as he walked out of the medicine den he found Cinderheart coming back.
"Jayfeather! I caught you some kill like I told you I would!" She ran up to him and dropped the kill at his paws.
"Thank-you, I guess you don't take no for answer when you really want something."
"I guess not," and she did that cute smile and giggled to herself.
They both ate their kill and finished quickly cause they hadn't eaten anything all morning.
"Well I have to do some checkups today if you want to come with me, if of course your not doing anything important?"
"I'd love to! I love kits so much! They are so cute and loving and adorable and like little puff balls and the most precious part of the clan!" She was just ranting on and on.
"Alright then lets go see some kits."
As they stepped foot in the Nursery her eyes were glued on this kit. It was born about a week ago and she seemed attached to it like its mother. She was just staring at it with these eyes that looked like she wanted just that a kit. One would satisfy her needs, a girl or tom it didn't matter to her. She just thought this kit was the most innocent kit ever. I've never seen any cat go this connected to a kit. Oddly enough her mother didn't get jealous. I could tell that she really wanted to snuggle up to the kit but she knew that would be too risky with its mother around.
"Jayfeather isn't she just perfect and flawless?"
I really didn't know what she was talking about I knew that kits are important and cute but I don't see why or how she is going all "Ga-ga " over them. I agreed cause I didn't want to anger her in front of the kits.
"Of course she is."
"She is just Starclan's gift from above. I wish I could have such a beautiful kit like her." She told Hailstorm.
"She is my precious one, I only had one kit, but I am thankful she came through cause she was apparently premature when she did come. Luckily Jayfeather knew what he was doing" Hailstorm glanced at Jayfeather.
"Hold on, Cinderheart haven't you know fancied anyone in clan yet? I mean there is plenty more time for you to have kits, but don't you think its time you settle down with a cat?" Hailstorm asked.
"Well lets just say I'm a little complicated, and not many toms see that. I have a lot of quirks I really… just waiting for the right tom to make me happy and that's really all that matters to me. Whether I have kits or not I just want to be with him. But I do have one tom in mind." She basically just signaled that all to Jayfeather she wondered if he would catch that it was him she was talking about.
"Do tell!" Hailstorm got all excited for some clan gossip to start to spread.
"Well I would rather not tell. I'm not ready for that drama to start."
"Oh well I see, well Jayfeather you don't have to stay in here, seems like you've been eavesdropping on our conversation. I don't see why would, you do have a clan to take care of right?"
"Oh yes! Sorry of getting so indulged in your conversation. I suppose I should leave."
He left quick enough for Cinderheart to tell him to stay because he had some things to process in his mind.
I wonder if that cat that Cinderheart was talking about is me? Of course I am! I am the only cat she cares about seeing. Since I know how she feels maybe I should talk to her one on one tonight. Maybe spend that night somewhere in the forest and not have to worry about anyone else interrupting, the conversation that could change our lives and possibly all of the cats in the clan or in all of the clans.
