Chapter 1

I sat down with my fellow Clanmate, Tornear. "Hey Crowfeather, how's life treating ya?" he asked. I shrugged my shoulders and answered, "It could be better," I admitted. "What's wrong?" he questioned. "I loved Feathertail and still do. But I've fallen in love with another cat. And I don't know what I'm going to do when StarClan calls for me. Do I choose Feathertail or the other cat I love?" I explained.

Tornear pulled at something in his pelt thoughtfully. "It's your choice, Crowfeather, no one can choose for you." My ears laid down flat on my head. I snarled, "Some help you are!" I ran past my deputy, who happened to be my mother, Ashfoot. As I spun past her, she called out my name. I didn't turn back. I ran straight for the WindClan/ThunderClan territory.

I sat there waiting to see the cat I so desperately desired to see. A picture of her light brown tabby pelt and her amber eyes staring into mine popped into my head. Something shook me out of my thoughts. "Who's there?" I snarled at the invisible object on the other side of the lake. "Whoa, calm down, Crowfeather, its just me." a familiar voice mewed with laughter.

I purred at the sound of the cats voice and watched her emerge from the bushes. I purred even louder as she splashed through the lake to get to me. "Leafpool, I've-" I trailed off as I breathed I her scent. Leafpool twined her tail with mine and looked deep into my eyes. "Crowfeather, I know medicine cats aren't supposed to love, have kits, or have mates, but I love you." I felt my heart explode with joy and delight. "I love you too, Leafpool, more than anything!" I heard a voice in the back of my head ask, 'what about Feathertail?'
