Reviews
WishOfTheFallingStars- Lol, maybe
BraveWolfScourge- I had the feels writing it lol
Mossfire (guest) – Well, Duskcloud likes to say she killed them because she did lead the cats who killed them. She escaped before they actually killed his father. Fang already knew she killed them, but since he was in his 'blind' sage, he really couldn't remember anything
Frostdawn- No, not your heart lol
Yay reviews
ON WITH THE CHAPTER
…
Snowstrike's pov
I curled up in my nest when I arrived back at camp. Cloudshadow was sitting in his nest with his eyes narrowed. "Where were you," he hissed and I saw his fur bristle. I ignored him and curled up tighter. He caused this. My fur bristled and I narrowed my eyes angrily.
"I'm going to ask again, where were you," he hissed quietly, trying not to wake anyone else up. I can't wake anyone up either. I shut my eyes tightly and forced my fur flat. I found it hard to fall asleep quickly like I wanted to. My thoughts kept going back to Fang and the times we spent together.
I woke up the next day and yawned. "Good morning," I flattened my ears and shot a glare at Cloudshadow. "What happened last night, you seemed upset," he smirked slightly. I growled and sat up. "You know I'm going to keep bothering you, so just say it," he hissed.
"I am not seeing Fang anymore, there are you happy," I snarled. He looked surprised. "Good," he said after a while and perked his ears up. I stood up and padded outside of the den. Fang kept appearing in my thoughts and I closed my eyes. It's over.
"Hey Snowstrike," Whiteheart bounded up to me smiling. "What's wrong, you look sad," she said and her smile faded. I forced myself to smile. "Nothing, just a little tired still," I said. "Well, come on, we have to go on a patrol near Fang's border," she said. I sighed. Great.
"Ok," I murmured and followed her to the entrance of camp, where Frozencloud, Glacierstone, Goldenhawk, and Blizzardclaw were waiting. I lashed my tail and we met up with them. "Let's go," Frozencloud said and we began heading out of camp.
I stayed in the back. I stayed near the back of the group with my head low. "You sure you're ok," Whiteheart padded next to me. "I'm fine," I snapped and looked down at the ground. "Bluestorm told me about you and… him," Whiteheart whispered. I looked up at her. "Great, first he tells Cloudshadow and now you, he'll probably tell Icestar next," I growled.
"Why are you seeing him though," Whiteheart whispered again. I lowered my head again. "It doesn't matter, I'm not seeing him anymore," I murmured and flattened my ears. "Is that why you're upset," Whiteheart said and looked at me. I nodded slightly and lifted my head when the patrol stopped.
"I scent him," Goldenhawk hissed and unsheathed his claws. I felt my fur bristle and I lashed my tail. Why is he in the forest? I heard a low growl and perked my ears up. He was here. I looked pass Blizzardclaw and saw Fang's blood red eyes in the shadows. "Dad," I yowled.
It was too late. Fang leapt out of the shadows and pinned Blizzardclaw. He bit down on his throat and I leapt at him. I tackled him off and pinned him. He growled but perked his ears up when he looked at me. "Snowstrike, get away from him," Goldenhawk hissed and I heard him running to us.
Fang's blood red eyes began changing back to amber. "Snow," he whispered. Goldenhawk pushed me away and lashed his claws at Fang. I clenched my teeth and stood up. Fang fought back weakly and glanced at me.
Glacierstone and Frozencloud ran to help Goldenhawk and I saw blood drip down from Fang's cut above his eye. Fang focused back to them and his eyes began turning blood red again. He hissed loudly and shoved all three of them away. I shook my head and stood still. I saw something in his eyes. Fear. Not anger or blood-thirst.
He hissed again and leapt at Frozencloud. He fights back like this because of fear. "Whiteheart, go get more cats," Frozencloud hissed and yowled when Fang bit down on his scruff and tossed him to the tree.
"Snowstrike," I heard Blizzardclaw and ran to him. I stood by him. He wasn't moving. "Dad," I said, suddenly breathless. I heard someone yowl and I looked up. Goldenhawk was leaning against a tree bleeding heavily.
I stepped over Blizzardclaw's body and sprinted to Fang. He turned to me and I leapt at him. I pinned him down. And he kicked my belly with his back legs, shoving me away. I was the only one fighting him now. Frozencloud, Goldenhawk, and Glacierstone were lying on the floor bleeding heavily.
Fang stood up and narrowed his blood red eyes at me. I growled and pulled myself to my paws breathlessly from the kick. He hissed and began running to me. "Fang," I murmured and took a step back. He leapt at me and tackled me down.
He pinned me and sunk his claws into my shoulder and pressed his free paw to my neck. He snarled and lashed his tail again. The red in his eyes grew darker and he pressed down harder. "Fang," I said again and found it hard to breath.
"Snowstrike," I heard Bluestorm yowl. Fang's eyes flashed in fear once again and he looked over his shoulder at the patrol that came in. Now's my chance. I knocked the side of his head with my paw as hard as I could and shoved him away.
I refused to unsheathe my claws. He hissed and backed away a little, looking at me and the patrol. I stood up and coughed. "Leave Fang," Icestar stepped forward and hissed. Fang's eyes flashed in fear and he hissed loudly. I padded over and stood in between the patrol and Fang.
I stared at Fang and his eyes landed on me. "Snowstrike," Bluestorm said. "Shh," I snapped and looked back at Fang. He shook his head and bared his teeth. "You need to leave," I growled slightly. He growled softly and backed away more.
His normal amber eyes returned and his gaze softened and he frowned at me. He looked away and sprinted away. I flattened my ears and padded over to Blizzardclaw's body. "N-No!" Bluestorm wailed and sprinted to me. I closed my eyes and sighed heavily.
"Goldenhawk and Glacierstone are still alive," Icestar said and looked over at Frozencloud. I perked my ears up and padded over to my old mentor. "We need a new deputy," she murmured and looked down. I sunk my claws into the snow underneath me, flattened my ears, and closed my eyes.
Why? I hissed and sprinted after Fang. "Snowstrike," Whiteheart called after me. I blindly sprinted through the Frost Forest following the direction Fang ran off to. "Fang," I yowled and continued running. "Snow?" I stopped running and looked around. He was sitting on a low branch.
"You killed them," I yowled and instantly began crying. He closed his eyes. "I know Snow, I'm not mouse-brained, I know what I did, I can still feel things when I'm blinded you know," he growled. "You could have stopped yourself," I growled and lashed my tail. He leapt down from the branch and landed neatly.
"You don't know how it feels, you wouldn't know," he yowled angrily. "Snowstrike," I flattened my ears when I heard Whiteheart. Fang looked in the direction I came from and bared his teeth. "Get your clan-mate away from me," he growled. I narrowed my eyes at him and hissed. "Unless you want her dead," he growled and unsheathed his claws.
I turned around and ran in the direction I came from. I bumped into Whiteheart along the way and she gasped. "Are you crazy," she growled. "Do you want to get yourself killed," she added. "Fang wouldn't do that," I murmured. "What," she tilted her head. "He wouldn't hurt me if he had a choice," I growled.
"But he did," she said and motioned to my shoulder. "He was blinded," I said. "By what," she said and looked around warily. "He wouldn't want me to tell you," I said and lashed my tail. "Snowstrike, we need to get back," Whiteheart said in fear and backed away a little.
I looked over my shoulder and saw Fang padding up to us slowly. I turned around and flattened my ears. He stopped walking and swayed his tail. We stared at each other in silence and his gaze softened to how it used to be when we would see each other.
I clenched my teeth and looked away. "You have to leave," I murmured. I looked up slightly and saw him nodding. "I'll see you again, one day," he said and smiled slightly. I cleared my throat and smiled. He turned around and began padding away.
"Snowstrike," Whiteheart murmured and I turned to her. "Do you love him," she said and lashed her tail. I nodded almost immediately and looked in the direction he went away. "He's right, one day you'll be together again," Whiteheart said and she was smiling. "Maybe that day can come sooner than you expect," she purred and licked her paw.
"We have to get back to camp, come on," she said and began padding away. I stood there silently. That day needs to come quicker. I purred slightly and began following her back to camp.

Fang's pov
"They should be leaving to the abandoned forest soon," Smoke said and I nodded. I paced inside the cave and lashed my tail. "Should we begin to prepare to go," I looked up and saw him smiling. "I thought you didn't want to go," I said.
"I'll go for you brother," he said and smirked. "We don't need anything, just rest. We'll leave tomorrow so we can find a den before they arrive," I said and nearly sprinted to my nest. "Alright, but you owe me for going with you," Smoke chuckled and curled up in his nest.
I curled up in my nest as well and chuckled. "Fine, fine, you get to choose the den over there, I know how much you hate this cave," I said and smirked. He snorted and curled his tail over his face. I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Soon Snow, I'll see you again soon," I murmured sleepily and found myself asleep.
Soon.
…
A/N: Well, I was listening to Say Something during writing this, almost cried. Idk why but ya. Anyways, on to the question of the day.
QOTD: *Again, forgot to do one of these* How do you think they will come together again?
Even though this chapter is not as sad as the last, it is shorter ): I am so sorry for typing such short chapters, but I keep getting distracted and I don't want a chapter to drag along with pointless info. Please review, favorite, and follow. Thank you and peace out.
