A/N

Ok, sorry for not updating. But if anyone reads Destiny, then you'd know this was on a pause. In the last chapter I said this one would be on Frostpaw's past. The problem is my friend made up her past, and I don't have the paper. So I'm gonna continue normally.

Edit: This is an incredibly important chapter! It may be short, but the ending matters for further into the story.

Hawkpaw stared at her paws in loneliness, then slammed her forepaw into the water, destroying the image of herself. Tears pricked her eyes. Jaypaw gave her ears a few comforting licks.

"Don't worry, just cause you can swim and ThunderClan cats can't, doesn't mean that we'll hate you, you're just, different." He meowed softly in her ear. Hawkpaw pulled away, her red eyes half blazing with fury and the other half with hurt.

"Jaypaw! I don't wanna be different! I just wanna fit in! Be like everyone else. My eyes already prevent me from that, and now I can swim?! Perfect!" She growled, but it seemed like her heart wasn't in it.

Jaypaw flattened his ears. "I-I'm sorry, Hawkpaw. I just meant you're, um, uh, meant you're just," his words got more and more incoherent with every word and the last word was barely above the sound of a cloud passing by.

"What was that, Jaypaw? Didn't quite catch that." Hawkpaw said, tilting her head to one side. Jaypaw took a huge breath and mewed at possibly the most fastest way of mewing, "IsaidthatImeantyourereallyspecialandIkindasortamaybelikeyou." (The first three to review of what that said gets a plushie from anyone in this story)

Jaypaw's blue eyes widened with surprise as if he involuntary said that and he clamped a paw over his muzzle. Hawkpaw stared blankly at him for at least three seconds before he processed what he said.

"Oh my StarClan! Jaypaw I do to!" She mewed happily, twirling her thin, black tail around his puffy, white one. Little did they know, jealous blue-green eyes were watching them from behind a thicket of mint bushels. A rustling noise sounded from in the thicket behind them.

Hawkpaw spun around, narrowing her eyes to the mint bush. Jaypaw followed her gaze. "What is it?" He asked, looking at her. Hawkpaw pulled away from him briefly.

"I thought I-" Hawkpaw stopped herself, scenting the air. It had a bittersweet tang to it, one that was familiar but she couldn't place it.

"What?" Jaypaw asked again, stepping in front of her. Hawkpaw tried to see past him, but he was taller and the only thing she could spot, was the tip of a brown tail. Plenty of cats in their clan had brown fur. She slumped, frowning.

"Nothing, it was nothing," Hawkpaw sighed. She looked up, staring at the red, mystical, foggy outline of a stranger cat. She jumped back, panting. Jaypaw looked at her like she was crazy.

"What do you see?" He whispered. Hawkpaw didn't answer him. The cat come closer, and now she could make out the cat's fur. It was a white tom with a tortoiseshell tail, ears and paws with menacing amber eyes. He had a black spot over one eye as well. He leaned down to her ear, his breath as real as Jaypaw's.

"You are Chosen," he whispered. His breath ruffled her ear fur, and she twitched her ear as it tickled. Hawkpaw was crouched to the ground, fearful of this strange tom. Hawkpaw blinked and she gasped softly as he was gone. His words still echoed in her heads, as clear as the moment he said them.

You are Chosen...

Sorry, that was more a filler chapter I'm sorry! :,(

Edit: Wow, I changed a lot! As short as it was, this cat won't make an important appearance again for a while, but trust me, he's important.
