Note: I know I'm going to get shot for not updating for so long, then when I do update, it's random crap. I'm sorry, the story WILL continue, I just need ideas for the next chapter...in the mean time, enjoy this EXTREMELY weird crack pairing: HollyXStick.

"I love you so much..."

"You are everything to me..."

"Forget Jayfeather, please..."

I shouldn't be judged by these actions, should I? I mean, I would never go against the Warrior code...well, I know I did meet with Breezepelt for many moons...but, that was over now. This wasn't nessacarily treason! It wasn't another Clan cat I was meeting with, so why should Firestar care?! I mean, he meets with Spottedleaf in his dreams, and there's no TELLING what they do!

...aww, who am I kidding. This is treason! It may not be to the Clan, but it was to Breezepelt! And, even worse, I was betraying Jayfeather's trust. I just couldn't resist! It was too hard! Now, it's too late...

When I awoke at midnight, I noticed something strange: Ashfur wasn't curled up beside me. Ever since that day many moons ago, when I lied about Sootpaw and Windpaw being Ashfur's kits, he has referred to me as 'mate' instead of Hollyleaf, and vowed to always stay by my side...but, at the time, I didn't know he meant that literally.

I shrugged it off. Really, I didn't care if he was with me or not--it was to my advantage, because no one would notice if I slipped out of the den. I tiptoed quietly past Squirrelflight, the traitor, then past Thornclaw. Spiderleg shifted in his sleep, and I paused for several moments before I bounded out of the Warriors den.

I stopped by the medicine cat den, listening. I had Leafpool's silent breathing, then I heard Jayfeather's soft snoring. I snickered; he sounded like a sleeping badger!

When the wonderful scents of the forest hit my nose, I thought that I might as well catch some food for my beloved. I sniffed, then a scent entered my nose. Vole. My head snapped to the side. Behind that tree root.

I crouched down, putting one paw softly in front of the other. I stiffened, then, when I heard a loud snap. "No!" I mewed in a furious hiss, pouncing. I was lucky; I managed to trap the vole between my claws before it could escape. I sunk my teeth into the tiny creatures neck, then jumped for joy. My beloved will be happy.

I finally made it to the lake, the vole limp between my jaws. It was so dark, and I was afraid I would never find my love, "Beloved...?" I called. That was just a nickname, by the way.

I was terrified now. What if the water had swept him away? I sniffed and sniffed, then I felt something underneath my paw. I looked down, seeing my love. My heart leapt, "Stick!" I cried happily, nuzzling the piece of wood. "My beloved stick..." I purred.

Then, I remembered the vole, "Oh," I exclaimed. "I brought you something." I looked back at Stick, making sure he didn't go anywhere, then I picked up the vole and padded back to him.

"Beloved, I brought you something to eat," I put the vole to Stick's 'mouth', and it dropped. I was confused. "Oh, are you not hungry?" I smiled, curling up by Stick. "Well, that's okay, Stick. You can eat when you want to."

Stick didn't say anything to me the entire time, but that was okay; I knew Stick was the silent type. I nuzzled Stick, then flinched when something sharp stabbed my nose, "Ow!" I cried, realizing I had a splinter.

I stared at Stick, confused at hurt, "Why did you do that?" I didn't take Stick's silence to well. "Did I do something wrong, Stick?" He still didn't reply. I was about to start sobbing, but then I saw something wash onto the shore.

I saw a gray body lying in the water, and something dawned on me then. It all added up! Ashfur missing, Stick not talking too me..."You're having an affair with Ashfur!" I cried at Stick. "That's why you won't talk to me! Obviously you've been meeting here with Ashfur! He must've passed out from all of the Fem Ale you've been drinking!"

Stick didn't reply, and my green eyes widened, "Oh my StarClan!" I shrieked. "You told him where our secret stash of Fem Ale is, didn't you?!" Still no response, but Stick did roll away a little (Me: It was just the wind blowing it. XD).

Stick continued to roll until he fell into the water beside Ashfur. My eyes filled up with tears, "Fine." I sobbed. "I guess we're through..." I couldn't believe it. How could I have fallen for such a thing?! I fell for that cheating stick, AND he goes and mates with another cat!

I sniffed, then a wonderful aroma filled my nostrils. I walked to a hollow tree, which lead to an old fox den underground. Without meaning to, I slipped and fell inside.

I padded over to one of the glass bottles, "Fem Ale..." I purred. It was the drink Stick and I created. I hated Stick now, but the Fem Ale never betrayed me, and it never would...right?

THE END
