NOTE: I know all of my chapters have been short but I'll try to make this one better and longer. O and another thing, theres an unexpected twist in this chapter that doesn't happen in the real books I just always imagined that it would so please don't flame me about it.

Chapter Three:

It had been three days since Bluestar found out about Rusty. She should've known better. Kittypets don't belong in clans. That's the way it has been, and that's the way it always will be.

Lionheart had become the new deputy, and even though it was time to move on, she couldn't let it go. Redtail had been her deputy for a long time. He was taken…By a swipe of a claw. The saddest part was…it was Oakhearts claw. Oakheart. The one who she once loved….over the days she thought 'Was Tigerclaw lying? He wouldn't… would he?' She came the conclusion of whoever she trusted more. Tigerclaw was her warrior but Oakheart was her mate. Oakheart was gone now, however, taken by her trusted warrior Tigerclaw. Since Tigerclaw killed Oakheart he was a loyal cat. How was he supposed to know the forbidden love?

"Bluestar?" A voice called. Bluestar recognized it as Whitestorms voice. He called into the den. "Bluestar I want to talk with you!"

"come in." Bluestar sighed heavily.

"Im worried. For your sake."

"Whitestorm you have no reason to worry about me. I'm fine! I'm just a bit saddened by the loss of Redtail that's all."

"No Bluestar…it's something more. I know it. I've been with you since Kit hood. I know when something is bothering you! Please, don't talk to me as a leader, but as a friend." Bluestar sighed.

"Everything has been wrong. Rusty was supposed to come. Redtail wasn't supposed to die! Neither was Oakheart. Tigerclaw wasn't supposed to kill Oakheart even if it was the loyal thing!"

"Because he was your mate?" Whitestorm asked.

"How do you- and? Huh?" Bluestar stared puzzled. Then she said, in a sarcastic tone, "I haven't the slightest idea as to what your talking about! How was he my mate? My mate was….My kits disappeared and that's all that is important!"

"Don't try to fool me. When you were a warrior, I noticed the sneaking. I noticed the signs. The clan knew every other queens mate, even if it was their choice to tell, every queen did. But you. Even though no one else noticed, I did. I'm not blind, Bluestar, even if all the other cats are. We have been close friends since we were kits, and I know a lot about you. I can tell when you are lying. I know your battle style, even! Don't try to hide anything from me. I wont tell anyone."

"We were young and foolish." Was Bluestar's response. "It was a gathering, that's where we met. The kits, they are now the River Clan warriors, Mistyfoot and Stonefur. The third…he was weak. I brought him…" Her words grew thick with pain. "I brought him to a kittypet mother. I asked her to raise him as his own. He would never survive in the forest but I didn't want him to die. Leafbare's were cold. He needed a house to live in."

"Who is he now? Do you know? Maybe if you know that he is safe, It will be easier."

"I know exactly who he is. His name…His name is Rusty."
