Hi kittyie. It's been a long, long time for me. So I had this brilliant idea! Why not ask my friend to help me write this chapter? So that's exactly what I did. And guess what? Do you know part of the reason why it took me a long long to write (and I'm also lazy with my posting)? I mean, of course I had some ideas for the next chapter, but not many. One of the reasons is that my friend called Mistyfoot MistyFLIGHT the ENTIRE CHAPTER. She was really embarrassed, but it only took me a few minutes to correct. So... yeah. I don't want to waste your time so just read the chapter! :)

Disclaimer: Blah blah blah, I don't own Warriors, blah blah blah, the idea belongs to KatieK101, blah blah blah. You know.

Misty Flames Chapter Four

Mistyfoot let her gaze sweep over the two ThunderClan cats before her. "What are you doing here?" She questioned them hotly.

Silverstream quickly jumped to the intruder's defense. "Mistyfoot, these are just-"

"-tresspassers, I know." The blue- gray she-cat cut her off flatly. "What I would like to know is what they're doing on RiverClan territory." It was a little bit hard for Mistyfoot to be stern when she saw Fireheart's gaze was locked on hers, his bright green eyes boring into her blue ones. She knew he was trying to communicate silently with her, and she got his message: Please let us go.

Does he really think I'm going to give up that easily? Although I am swayed a bit... No. What am I thinking? I must confront Fireheart. I mean both of them. I don't want to talk to him alone, do I? Well... No. Snap out of it, Mistyfoot, and get this over with.

The she-cat cleared her throat. "So, what are you doing on RiverClan territory?"

Both of the toms looked nervous and exchanged glances. Graystripe looked worse. "Well," the gray tom meowed, "I just wanted to talk to Silverstream." The last part of his meow was barely audible. Fireheart shoved his companion forward. "Go on," Mistyfoot heard the ginger tom whisper into his ear. She glared at him crossly.

"Silverstream?" Graystripe meowed, padding forward a little bit. All three cats looked to Mistyfoot. She nodded her head and swished her tail as to say, "Talk somewhere else." They disappeared behind a few other bushes.

After an awkward silence, Fireheart spoke up. "So...is everything alright? You seem kind of off."

Mistyfoot stifled a mrrow of amusement. Silverstream had asked her almost the exact same thing the previous night! "I'm fine," she said coolly. "What makes you think I'm not?"

Another silence.

"I don't know." The ginger tom meowed. "It's just that... Never mind." Fireheart turned his head to one side and licked some shoulder fur flat. "Anyway, I wanted to ask you something." He pawed at the ground nervously.

Mistyfoot looked up. "What?" She asked, interested in what the ThunderClan cat had to say.

"Well... Well, I was thinking we could maybe... You know..."

"No, I don't know. Tell me." Mistyfoot meowed calmly.

"Maybe meet sometime so we could talk or something." he blurted out the sentence fast and quiet. The blue-gray she-cat barely heard him.

"What!?" she exclaimed. "That's against the warrior code! Do you think I became deputy by meeting in secret with toms- from other clans!- that I barely know?" Mistyfoot looked at Fireheart directly in the eyes before breaking eye contact and staring at the ground. Fireheart exhaled.

"But that's why I want to get together," Fireheart meowed. "To learn more about you. And to tell you about me." Mistyfoot continued to look at the earthy ground, shifting her paws.

"So that's a no, then?" Fireheart whispered.

Mistyfoot was about to nod, but then spoke up. "Okay," she meowed, surprising herself.

"Really?" Fireheart brightened. "Great!" he padded closer to Mistyfoot. "Where should we meet? And when?"

Mistyfoot thought it over, her heart in her throat with happiness. She didn't know why she was so happy; she shouldn't like him in the first place, he was from another Clan...but she felt like this was supposed to happen... Like it was destiny... Mistyfoot shook her head, snapping out from her trance. "How about we slip away at the next gathering? It's only a quarter moon away," she suggested.

The ThunderClan warrior nodded. "That sounds good." He said. "I'll see you then?"

"Yes," Mistyfoot forced her gaze away from Fireheart's piercing green eyes.. So handsome... No. Think rationally.

It was then that Mistyfoot was thankful that Silverstream and Graystripe came out of the bushes. Graystripe cleared his throat. "We'd better be getting back... Bye Silverstream..."

"See you at the Gathering," The gray queen meowed uncertainly, padding to Mistyfoot's side.

Fireheart walked back towards the ThunderClan camp with Graystripe. Mistyfoot felt a pang of sadness as the last trace of his ginger fur dissapeared behind a patch of bracken. Silverstream followed Mistyfoot's gaze with interest before they too went back to RiverClan camp.

Mistyfoot just hoped that by the time they got back, no one would realize that they had been gone at all.

Hey again. Sorry for the semi-short chapter, running out of inspiration. :( I am still going to update all of my stories from time to time though. So, I guess I'll see you soon, kitties.

-Tansy :)
