Chapter Two

"Come on, Mistyfoot!"

Silverstream was right in front of the blue-gray she-cat as they half-walked half-ran to the log where the land and the island connected. She followed her over the wide tree trunk, then hopping off as the trunk touched the island.

Most of the Clan was already there; the blue-gray warrior had been day dreaming, thus explaining why she had fallen behind the group. Silverstream had been nice enough to stay with her.

"Come on!" the silver she-cat whined playfully, tugging on Mistyfoot's tail.

"I'm coming! Don't twist your tail into a knot over it! Or my tail! Let go!" Silverstream rolled her eyes as the two friends stepped into the throng of gathered cats.

Mistyfoot found herself walking toward the spot where most ThunderClan cats stood. She wondered why she had this sudden instinct, and started walking in he opposite direction. Before she had the chance to get away, Fireheart pushed his way towards her through the crowd of chattering cats.

"Mistyfoot?" he asked.

"What?" She spun around. "Oh. Hi, Fireheart." She meowed.

"I thought you weren't coming tonight."

"Just late." the blue-gray she-cat told him flatly.

The ginger warrior failed to stifle a purr. "I'm glad you came." He whispered.

That's nice of him, Mistyfoot thought. Wait. Why would he care? Why would I care?

A sudden breeze made the leaves on Fourtrees wave and ruffled the fur on their pelts. Unexpectedly, Fireheart got closer to Mistyfoot and rubbed his fur against hers, warming her up a bit. "Chilly out, isn't it?"

"Y-yeah," Mistyfoot muttered, surprised at the ginger warrior's actions.

"How's everything going in RiverClan?" Fireheart lowered his voice as the leaders started talking.

At first, Mistyfoot thought he was trying to gather information to tell ThunderClan, as some sort of spying, but when she looked him in the eye, she was surprised to see that his expression was serious.

"It's okay, no shortage of prey, and- wait, you could just listen to Crookedstar give his report!" there was a hint of amusement in the last part of her meow.

"I know," the tom whispered, "but I wanted to hear it from you."

Confused, Mistyfoot gave her chest fur a few awkward licks. "Well...look! Crookedstar's speaking now. A perfect time to figure out what's going on."

Fireheart snorted with amusement, not even glancing at the leaders. "You sure are confusing, bright eyes."

Mistyfoot was taken aback by the nickname, and even more surprised when she thought she liked it. "I could say the same for you."

The orange tom pretended to be insulted. "How could you say that about me? You hardly know me!"

She mrrowed in amusement. "You hardly know me, either!"

"True, true," Fireheart meowed. Then he lowered his voice to a whisper. "Hey, sometime we should-"

"Fireheart?" "Mistyfoot?"

He was cut off by the meows of Graystripe and Silverstream, who had come to fetch their friends. "Didn't you hear Tallstar end the Gathering?" Silverstream asked her worriedly as soon as she got within earshot of her.

"Yes," she lied. Mistyfoot actually hadn't heard him; maybe it was because she was wrapped up in the converstion with Fireheart. Turning her head, she could see ShadowClan had already left, and WindClan had shortly followed. Bluestar was furiously waiting for Fireheart and Graystripe.

"Well...um...see you next Gathering?" Fireheart mananged to say before he was half-dragged away by Graystripe.

"Yeah...sure..." Mistyfoot stuttered, shouldered by Silverstream over to RiverClan. As soon as they caught up, RiverClan began to run back to their camp, fortunately not at full speed because of the elders.

The blue-gray she-cat nearly tripped over a tree root as her mind wandered back to the night's events. She suddenly felt self-concious again. What does all this mean? I don't get it. I've never felt anything like this before, Mistyfoot thought.

And then it dawned on her.

I'm in love with him.
