Stalking along the RiverClan border she watched a dark brown tomcat slip onto SunningRock's. His dripping pelt leaving a trail to where he laid, sunning himself on the large flat rocks. She hissed, ears flattening back as she crept along the trees. How dare he just come along and act like this was his territory?

Pausing Bluefur scanned the area. Taking a secone to watch the sun's reflection sparkle on the river's surface. The RiverClan tom was alone, and she could eaily take him on. Leaping out onto the stone she let out a yowl, pouncing onto the brown tabby.

Letting out a startled sound he rolled onto his back. Kicking into her stomach until she was flung away. Hitting the stone with a thud Bluefur hissed under her breath. "What was that for?" The tom meowed, his tail lashing.

Bluefur glared up. "Are you serious? You can't come and just lay in ThunderClan territory!" Getting to her paws she shook out her blue-gray pelt.

The tomcat rolled his amber eyes. "I wasn't doing anything," he mewed, pausing as he glanced her over, "you're Bluefur, right?"

Tail lashing she frowned. "Yes I am." She growled. How did he know her name? An uneasy feeling made her stomach curl. Who was this cat?

Dipping his head with a grin the tomcat continued with, "I'm Oakheart, Crookedstar's brother." He meowed.

Crookedstar? Nodding slowly she could recall the pale tabby from RiverClan. He had a broken jaw that was messed up, hince the name "Crookedjaw" when he was only a warrior. "I use to know him. But that doesn't explain how you know me."

Oakheart sat down, grooming bits of twigs out of his coat. "I've seen you at Gatherings, heard Pinestar announce your warrior name." He replied. Something changing in his amber orbs as he looked at her. "Would you like to meet me near Fourtrees tonight?"

"What?" Ears flattened she shook her head. "I-"

The tomcat glanced across the river where a patrol moved through the reeds. His head dipped to her as he moved to the water. "I'll be there waiting, Bluefur, hope to see you soon." The tom meowed as he slipped into the water.

...

Walking into camp she held two mice and a bird in her jaws. After some thinking about Oakheart she had cleared her head with hunting. The brown tabby had asked her to meet him at Fourtrees. Her heart twisted at that thought. Did the RiverClan tom like her? But how, I don't even know him! Her tail lashed, happy to know that Firemoon, a tom in her Clan, was the only cat she would be with. I'm not a code breaker.

Slipping into the medicine cat's den she paused. Eyes lighting up as she spotted Firemoon sitting up, his emerald orbs shining. Dropping the mouse she had brought into the den she raced to his side. Purring almost loud enough to drown out her words. "You're awake!"

Firemoon chuckled, flicking her ears with his tail. "Decided it was time to get up," he replied, though there still seem to be an edge of pain in his voice.

Giving his cheek a lick she spotted Featherwhisker. The gray tabby had an amused look on his face as he brought herbs in his jaws. "He woke up a few hours ago. Demanding that he wouldn't fall asleep without seeing you," the tabby explained, his own amber gaze narrowing onto Firemoon pointingly.

Flattening his ears Firemoon chuckled nervously. "What?" He murmured, giving his chest a few embarrassed licks.

The she-cat purred, touching her nose to his cheek. "I'm glad he stayed awake," she purred, "are you hungry? I brough a mouse." She glanced back at where she dropped it.

Nodding the ginger tomcat licked his lips. "I could eat." He mewed.

...

Rusty stalked along the rooftop. His emerald orbs narrowed onto the cats below him. Heart thudding in his chest the ginger rogue leaped down silently. His ears flattening onto his head, lips peeling back into a snarl.

"Stop right there!" Rusty spat, his hackles raised.

A small brown tabby spun around. Her amber eyes flashing as she took a step back. "I-Rusty! Didn't think i'd see you here.." The she-cat shifted on her paws.

Lashing his tail he glanced around. The sun was just starting to rise above the twolegdens. The fresh sunlight shining onto the hard path, making the she-cats form glow.

"Where are they?" He demanded.

Shaking her head the kittypet sighed. "Oh my love, why would you care?" With that she turned around once more. The vision starting to fade into darkness as Rusty blinked open his eyes, looking around the warrior's den.
