They turned to see Spiritstorm, Raggedpelt sneered at his side.

"What do you want?" Foxbreeze snarled, pulling Birdcry closer to him.

"I want to talk to HER, not you." Spiristorm growled back. He pushed Foxbreeze away from her, flicking her ear and beckoned toward the marsh. "Raggedpelt! Stay here and guard the camp. No one leaves, got it?" Raggedpelt dipped his head and plopped down next to Mistsong.

"Where are you taking me?" Birdcry cringed as she stepped into a mud pile that went up to her belly.

"Just to ask you some questions." He grunted and pulled her out of the mud. They ran by a lake, and Birdcry noticed there were the pawprints of cats around the area. When thy reached an old hollow tree. Spiritstorm shoved Birdcry inside and they sat down.

"You should've been my mate, not his." He mumbled, looking down at the mossy grounds. Birdcry felt a pang of misery flash through her heart as she studied her former apprentice.

"Well, next time tell me when to love you." She mewed rudely. "It doesn't change anything!"

"Why don't you under-"

I DO understand! You're a jealous, cruel, mousebrain!" She hissed. "You have a mate, for StarClans sake!"

"But I-" he was cut off again by the black she-cat.

"No 'buts', you choose these choices. Now go home to your mate and kits, and have a good life!" Spiritstorm stalkedoff, a blood thirsty look strapped across his face.

Mothstars POV...

Mothstar stared down at the vole.

Its neck was slashed and dried blood covered the gory sight. The vole's eyes were amber and a scrap of moss clung to its side, Iceshard predicted a battle was on its way. Mothstar sighed. If a battle occured, they would need new cats. Rosekit and Emberkit were old enough, she decided, were ready to be 'paws. Tomorrow. She padded to her den and spiraled into the catacombs of sleep...

. . . . . .

Birdcry squeezed painfully out of the tree, moaning as something stirred inside her stomach. She gasped and wheezed as she ran back to camp, aware of a new presence.

"Foxbreeze!" she purred. "I'm expecting your kits!"

A/N: Poor, dear Spirit. SPOILER: He gets 'better' Yay! New kits for both the ladies!
