I'm baacckkk! We got back really early and I'm a bit tired so sorry if this chapter is shorter or worse than usual.

Snootsnoot~Dont know if I have already mentioned your reveiw but never mind. Glad you like it :3

The Phantom Lily~I probably will kill him off. I also have an idea for Swiftkit. *Evil laugh*. I like your names for Flowerpaw and she will probably get her warrior name on this chapter.

Now onto the chapter...

Chapter 8

Morningpaw ran through the forest, not caring about the thorns that dug into her pelt as she ran. As she got closer she noticed another scent. Bushtail! Morningpaw glanced through some bushes and saw the tom waiting for something. Waiting for me! She remembered with a gasp. Bushtail's ear twitched and he went to investigate the noise.

"Morningpaw, is that you?" He meowed. Morningpaw tried to back away but ended up tangled in some brambles.

"I can't be dealing with this right now." Morningpaw hissed, realising she had thought aloud.

"Morningpaw." Bushtail looked like he was trying not to purr at the pale ginger apprentice caught up in a bush full of brambles.

"I need to go, help me out." Morningpaw bit back another hiss.

"Where are your manners." Taunted Bushtail, purring. Annoying furball.

"I really have to go." She winced as a bramble dug into her forepaw.

Bushtail cut off all of the thorns and brambles and Morningpaw wriggled free.

Morningpaw got ready to leave, but Bushtail blocked her.

"Let me go!' She spat.

"I have something to tell you." His mew sounded urgent.

"Yeah right, I know you love me already." She growled, "Now. Let. Me. Go!"

"I don't love you." Bushtail mewed.

That reply confused the young she cat. "Wha-" Bushtail's tail slapped across her mouth.

"I am in love with a cat from another clan." He started, "Her name is Dapplestorm from Rainclan. She is expecting my kits."

"What does this have to do with me?' Morningpaw interrupted.

Bushtail ignored her "I need a she cat who I can trust to look after them." His gaze burned into hers. "And that cat is you. Morningpaw."

"But I'm an apprentice!" She burst out, shocked.

"By the time her kits are born, you will be a warrior." Bushtail's gaze turned warm and hopefull, "Will you?"

"If you let me go, I will think about it." Morningpaw grumbled.

"You are grumpier than Moonshadow.' Purred Bushtail, stepping aside.

Morningpaw raced through the forest, trying to make up for lost time. As she got closer, the scent was laced with something worse than blood. Death? Morningpaw heard voices as she got closer. She saw two black cats, they both looked familiar. Darkpaw and Swiftkit. Swiftkit's scent was laced with fear and she looked like she had been attacked. The scent of death went past them. Morningpaw's ears went back and her pelt bristled as she realised who died. Copperkit. She tried to think more but Swiftkit and Darkpaw drowned out her thoughts.

"I didn't kill Copperkit!" Swiftkit's mew was shrill with fear, "It was a fox!"

"Yeah right." Sneered Darkpaw. "I knew you were never going to be a nice cat since the day you were born." She lowered her voice, menacingly and mockingly, she added "After all, what use is a kit who can't see out of one eye."

A lot! Morningpaw retorted silently.

"Now leave and don't return. Murderer!" The black apprentice snarled.

"Or else?" Swiftkit tried to sound brave but she was shaking.

"I will kill you myself."

Swiftkit turned to run, taking one last sorrowful glance at her dead littermate, she turned to run.

Sorry its short. Hopefully you understand why Bushtail pretended to love her. It took a lot of thought but wasn't prepared to write it down. Holidays give great ideas! Also, Swiftkit is no longer in Stormclan,*sob sob*. Write down what you think could happen to the poor little kit. Also, the next chapter will be Swifkits POV for what happens next. Now dont forget to write your thoughts in your REVIEW!

See ya soon...
