Through green eyes

by Icefang Med Cat

When Palmwind gets caught in a twoleg carrier to be taken away, a young kittypet comes to his rescue. Palmwind comes too really like this cat, but it is against the warrior code to love kittypets. And when Dawnstar finds out, what will happen to Palmwind?

6. Chapter 5, a lie

Palmwind POV

Dawnstar had ordered Palmwind to stay in camp. He was dozing in the warriors den, dreaming he was playing in a meadow with Crystal.

Palmwind awoke. He wanted to see Crystal again. But he couldn't leave, because he had a deep wound on his flank. He sighed. "Stupid twoleg!"

Crystal POV

Crystal traveled through the undergrowth. She had to see Palmwind again. She came to a tunnel, where she was surrounded by a place filled with mice and grass, it looked like a clan cat camp. She walked around. No one was here, or so it seemed. "Palmwind?" She said quietly. "Are you in here?" She stuck her head in a hole, where she saw another cat. "Palmwind?"

But it wasn't Palmwind in the hole. "What are you doing here, kittypet?" Tulippaw walked out. But at the same time, Palmwind walked out too.

"Crystal, what are you doing here! You shouldn't be here!" He said.

Tulippaw looked at Palmwind. "You know this kittypet?"

Palmwind stared at Tulippaw. He didn't know what to say, so Crystal said it for him. "I saved him when a twoleg got him."

"You told me a twoleg attacked you!" Tulippaw exclaimed. "You lied to me!"

"Well, I didn't want to tell the clan because I didn't want to get in trouble." Palmwind admitted.

Crystal butted in to the argument. "What is going on here!"

"Um, Crystal, you really should leave." Palmwind said. "You could get killed if you stay here."

Crystal widened her eyes, and shook her head in a 'thanks' sort of way. Then she darted home.

Palmwind POV

"I can't believe you lied to me!" Tulippaw exclaimed once Crystal was gone. "That is against the warrior code, you know."

"I know, and I'm sorry Tulippaw. I just didn't want to make the clan think that I needed kittypet help when I was in trouble." Palmwind apologized.

"Well, I guess that would be pretty embarrassing." Tulippaw admitted. "I guess if it had happened to me I would keep it a secret as well."

"So you won't tell on me?" Palmwind asked.

"I guess not, but don't you EVER lie to me again!" Tulippaw said. She walked away. "And, don't let that kittypet come back!"
