Chp10

Author's note: Tell me if I'm boring you or if you want more stuff in a chapter, I don't mind. KEEP REVIEWING!

The past few moons have been great, Firepaw was grateful I rammed a thorn into the she-cat's butt, but he wasn't happy about the fact that he now has to take care of her.

I meet him everyday, we go hunting together.

Sometimes Graypaw comes along too, and he only tried to eat me once.

I get along with Firepaw as well as a mouse can get along with a cat.

And right now, things aren't going that well.

Lotusnip's mother died a few days ago.

Us mice die easily, with our short life expectation and being eaten and all, so we're always prepared to lose the ones we love.

But Lotusnip is not taking it so well.'

I can just imagine her pain, I'll feel the exact same way if she dies.

I look across the clearing, to see her sitting right below the exit of the tunnel, looking up wards through the hole at the sky.

The light from the moon and stars are shining down at her.

Her white fur is silver and so shiny, her eyes are sad but still glowing, reflecting the stars.

God, she is beautiful.

I get up from where I am , and sit next to her.

"Looking at the moon?" I ask softly.

"Yeah. I miss Rushingwater."

"Er, ahem, (coughcoughcough)" I start off, trying to be as sensitive as possible, and gathering the correct words to say.

"Sorry your mom got herself killed while hunting – no, I mean, sorry she died, no, that's not what I meant. . . "

"Its ok. I get what you mean. I appreciate it."

And somehow, by the way she looked at me, I knew I had to comfort her, and I knew what to say.

"Rushingwater was a great mouse. Our ancestors will honor her, and they will watch over you as well as her."

Lotusnip smiled for the first time in days.

Her smile made me feel as if the sun just came out, even though right now its 3o'clock in the morning.

"Thanks for accompanying me."

"You're welcome."

And that's when we edged closer.

And closer.

And closer…..

Wait, was that Firepaw and Graypaw coming from the distance?

Graypaw opened his mouth and yowled, "Spottedleaf is dead and Shadowclan has taken our kits!"

Firepaw added, "There will be war tonight, you have to help us!"

Me and Lotusnip sighed as we stood up.

Why me?

Why does Firepaw have to ruin that moment?

I hate my life.
