In response to your reviews:
The Great Mikey Weston: Thanks for the support! And I must admit I still have no idea how I'm going to write Jay x Half…
Samus Linkin: Adding them to the list…
Leopardfire97: Sorry about that! :(
hawkfeather1234: I'll add them, even if I hate those couples. :P
: Yes as a matter of fact I have read Moonrise, multiple times. And in my story Feathertail wasn't stealing Crowfeather; she was simply going to extremes to regain him. Think about it, she died for him and then a couple moons later he falls in love with someone else? I'd be pretty ticked/desperate if I were in her position. Her intentions weren't evil. She didn't think that the badgers really would cause so much death; she just wanted a small disaster that would bring Crowfeather and Leafpool to their senses.
InvaderVyn: Yes, Lionblaze would be a bit awkward… I like that you're doing a couple from the original series.
Hawkstar: Ugh _ Whatever I suppose
WildCroconaw: I imagine the one of them would summon the guts to tell the other eventually.
Velvet Purr: I'll consider it, but I might not because the age difference between them creeps me out. O-o
Blackfoot and Leopardstar
Scourge dodged nimbly out of the way and leaped at Tigerstar. He flashed his extra sharp claws at the larger tom.
Confusion and shock flooded Tigerstar's eyes as blood flowed freely from the wound. He tried to spit something at Scourge but he collapsed. His body soon started convulsing and then, just like that he was dead. There was a brief delay until Tigerstar was brought back to life, but his wound was too great for even StarClan to heal so he simply convulsed and died once again. The gory scene repeated itself until Tigerstar was dead; dead for real.
Leopardstar watched powerlessly from below, her jaws gaping in a silent yowl. There were no words to describe the emotions battling each other within her stomach. She felt as if she was going to get sick.
Firestar seemed to reflect Leopardstar's reaction. Staring hollow eyed at Scourge.
Leopardstar looked once again at Tigerstar's lifeless body, willing him to come back to life. The tom lay still though. She tried to move her paws, to escape from this terrible place forever but her paws were fixated into the ground. "No!"
…
Leopardstar jerked awake, panting heavily. She swept her head from side to side, confused for a moment. Then she realized it had only been a nightmare. She sighed and struggled to her feet, the nightmare may have just been a dream but the event had actually occurred a couple days ago. Ever since then it had haunted her dreams. She stepped out of her den and felt the cool night breeze greet her, she shivered and padded forward.
The rest of the cats of RiverClan and ShadowClan were all sleeping soundly, and none woke as Leopardstar padded quietly by their dens.
Leopardstar continued forward, passing familiar landmarks. She thought once again about her dream and she choked up. The dream was so real, exactly how she had recalled the event. Watching Tigerstar die so many times and in such a painful way was hard on Leopardstar and sometimes she wondered how she stayed sane. She stopped abruptly when she realized that she was at the river shore. She watched the majestic river as it flowed on by her.
"Leopardstar, are you alright?"
Leopardstar turned to face the newcomer. She relaxed her fur when she recognized Blackstar. She murmured a greeting to him.
Blackfoot looked at her, a look of concern on his face. "What are you doing out here so late?"
Leopardstar shrugged, she wasn't sure if she should tell Blackfoot or not. "I was having trouble sleeping," she lied and hoped that Blackstar wouldn't ask anything else.
Blackfoot wasn't convinced by her lie though. "Was it a bad dream?" He pressed. It was odd to see the ShadowClan leader being so gentle. Usually he was gruff and solitary. Like most ShadowClan cats.
Leopardstar sighed and decided to tell the truth. "Yes, I keep having a nightmare about when Tigerstar was killed by Scourge," she shivered. "I watch him die, over and over again…." She trailed off.
Blackfoot rested his tail on her shoulders reassuringly. "He was a great leader," he mewed. "It also troubled me deeply to watch his death. I never figured he would go out like that. I always pictured a more…noble death for him."
Leopardstar continued, "There is one reason above all that his death troubled me. Can I trust you?" She asked unexpactantly.
Blackfoot nodded without hesitation. "Of course. What is it?"
Leopardstar looked over her shoulder to make sure there were no cats around that might overhear her. Confident there conversation was private she admitted for the first time aloud, "I loved Tigerstar."
Blackfoot's eyes grew wide with surprise. But instead of challenging her like she expected he would he gave her a sympathetic lick. "That must have been really hard on you."
Leopardstar was so surprised was so shocked that she wasn't quite sure how to respond. "Um, yes it was."
"I can't imagine how hard on me it would be to watch the one I love perish like that." Blackfoot meowed.
That surprised Leopardstar. "I didn't know you had a mate."
Blackfoot shook his head and kneaded the ground in front of him embarrassedly. "I don't. I like her, but I don't have the guts to tell her."
For a heartbeat, Leopardstar was tempted to ask him who the she-cat was but she knew that would be completely out of order. An awkward silence passed between the two of them until she couldn't stand it anymore. She got to her feet and spoke to Blackfoot, "Well, it's been nice talking to you and all but I really should go get some sleep now." She turned to leave.
Blackfoot stopped her. "Wait, Leopardstar." He stared into her eyes, his gaze piercing. "If you ever want to talk again, feel free to ask me."
Leopardstar didn't reply but nodded her head. She took off into her territory the emotions she had felt earlier surfacing once again.
This is a bit different, but I thought it was alright…
