Chapter Four:
Telling Ashpaw
Sorry to all Ashpaw haters, but, I like Ashpaw, and I also couldn't think of Cinderpelt being with anyone else that wouldn't be to old for her. I was going to put Cinderpelt with Redtail (My sis's idea) But Redtail is like so much older than her, so that would be like so stramge! So, I hope you like!

Cinderpelt tried, and tried to sleep, but she couldn't. She kept tossing and turning, thinking of what Ashpaw would say if she told him her feelings. She finally decided to take a walk in the moonlight, maybe that would clear her mind. She pushed herself off her moss bed, and limped to the exit of the den. She stood in the clear moonlight, looking up at Silverpelt. StarClan, she thaught. Am I doing the right thing? Does Ashpaw love me back? A silvery figure came down in front of her.
"Who are you?" asked Cinderpelt.
"Lillywing, your grandmother," the silver she-cat replyed.
"Are you here to answer my question about Ashpaw?" asked Cinderpelt.
"Yes," mewed Lillywing. "Ashpaw loves you. You two have a great future together. Look." she waved her silvery tail, and it showed Cinderpelt laying in the nursery, all of her friends gathered around her, and three little kits at her side. One light grayand white, one light gray with darker flecks, and one black kit with ginger eyes.
"Who is the black kit?" asked Cinderpelt.
"He will be a hero, Cinderpelt. He will save the legacy of medicine cats," mewed Lillywing, and vanished. Ashpaw came out of the apprentices den, and saw Cinderpelt in the middle of the clearing, looking into the sky.
"Cinderpelt?" asked Ashpaw, quietly. She wheeled around to see Ashpaw standing in front of her, and for the first time, Cinderpelt blushed.
"Hi, Ashpaw," mewed Cinderpelt.
"Can I ask you something?" asked Ashpaw.
"Sure, anything," mewed Cinderpelt.
"Let's talk at Sunningrocks," Ashpaw requested, and led the way through the exit, and up the ravine. He padded out through the ferns, and veered towards the RiverClan border. He nestled himself on a boulder, and helped Cinderpelt up.
"So," mewed Cinderpelt.
"So..." Ashpaw mewed. "Let's cut to the chase. We've been friends since I was two moons old, and Cinderpelt,"
"Yes?" asked Cinderpelt, her eyes glistening in the moonlight.
"I love you," he finally mewed, nervously prodding his paws on the rock. Cinderpelt looked astonished.
"I-I-I love you too, Ashpaw," Cinderpelt meowed. Ashpaw smiled, and nuzzled Cinderpelt. She licked his head, and they set off together, there tails twisted, back towards camp.
