Lionblaze burst into camp, and collapsed, hurt, angry, and wild. His amber eyes blazed. If he lays a single paw on her, I'll flay his throat... he thought, grinding his teeth. Suddenly a familiar scent flooded into his nose,
"Icecloud?" The golden tom looked up.
"Lionblaze! Back so early?" Icecloud remarked, referring to battle training.
Lionblaze snorted, "Of course. Mousewhisker wanted to show the apprentice's how to hunt rabbits, so I decided to come back." He lied, this thoughts switching to Heathertail.
Icecloud narrowed her eyes, "Really? Okay, I believe you." She added, after a moment's pause. "Would you like to share a mouse with me? Hunting patrol fed the elder's and queens," she assured him.
Lionblaze blinked. "Sure," he yawned, pawing the ground. Suddenly a idea struck him. Glancing at Icecloud, he noticed that she was quite pretty. Maybe he could use her... Lionblaze thought vividly, a smile flickering on his lips. Heathertail would come back to him, he was sure, with a little help, and that mangy tom Breezepelt could buzz off and find another she-cat, who wasn't taken.
Calmness sparked in his gaze, as he passed the mouse over to Icecloud, who had started to blush, and gaze at him dazedly. Lionblaze gave a secret smile that Icecloud didn't see; the white she-cat had already fallen under his spell, Lionblaze decided glancing at her dazed expression as she took a quick shy bite of mouse, and passed it back. "Things will turn out well," He whispered softly under his breath. "Heathertail will be my mate, and Breezepelt can go off in a hole..."
"You said something?" Icecloud pricked her ears, and glanced at him, as she gulped down the morsel. Lionblaze quickly shook his head, "Nothing," he assured her. "Just thinking..."
When the snowy she-cat nodded, Lionblaze imagined Heathertail beside her him, sharing a mouse with him, licking his ear softly. Suddenly he gave Icecloud a quick lick on the ear, grinning widely.
"I'll see you at moonhigh," he called, before vanishing in the warrior's den.
