"So…what do you want me to do now, Leafpool?" Jaypaw asked.

"Hmm…" Leafpool thought hard. She needed time to think. Maybe she could get an excuse to get out of here. Think over things. She sighed. "Here, sort out these herbs. I need to go get a couple herbs. I'll be back later!" Without waiting for Jaypaw's response, Leafpool quickly ran out and headed out of camp.

Once she knew she was a safe distance away from camp, Leafpool sighed and curled up into a ball. Why did she have to fall in love with Crowfeather in the first place? What did she do for StarClan to do this to her? She was a medicine cat! She wasn't supposed to fall in love! But still, she was glad Crowfeather showed up. For, he did save her from falling from the cliff.

Leafpool let her head rest in her paws. What will I do now?

--

Using the excuse to go search for his son, Crowfeather raced through WindClan and into ThunderClan. Without hesitation he crossed, but slowed down and sneaked through the enemy territory. He swallowed his fear. What if a patrol showed up? Would he be held prisoner? Worse, would he have to go into battle? Maybe if he told them the reason he was here, they'd spare his life.

What seemed like forever, he heard some noise. Leaves crunching on the ground. He jumped in alarm and crouched down, stalking toward the sound. Once he knew he was very close, he peeked through a bush.

Leafpool! She was curled up into a ball, head resting in her paws. How lovely she looked, sitting there, the sunlight shining on her beautiful fur. He longed to step out and curl next to her, pressing his body against hers. But he mustn't scare her. But he needed to talk to her. Cautiously and slowly, he stepped out of his hiding place. "Leafpool?" He gently whispered.

--

Leafpool's thoughts were disrupted and she immediately jumped up and hissed at her intruder. Her fur lies flat once she recognized Crowfeather…Crowfeather!

She hissed again, although less hostile. Her fur still lay flat. "What are you doing here?" She drinked in his appearance. He looked healthy and handsome. Good, he isn't having any problems in his Clan. She wanted to rub her muzzle against his and share news about their clans. She wanted to curl up beside him and feel the warm of his body against hers. But, of course, that wouldn't happen. She acted mad; although she was so happy he came.

"…Leafpool?"

Leafpool snapped back to reality. "Uh...um..." She stammered. Her cheeks flushed. She was so busy thinking about what she wanted to happen; she totally forgot he was standing there. "I'm sorry. What was that?" She cursed herself for embarrassing herself.

--

"What are you doing here?"

Crowfeather narrowed his eyes. He thought about it for a while. "I-I'm looking for my son, Breezepaw." He cursed himself for stammering.

There was a long silence. Leafpool didn't seem to hear him. She just stood there, far away, staring at him. He stared back, noticing all her features. He took advantage of this time to make a memory of this time. He hated the fact that he would only see her at Gatherings after this meeting.

Another long silence.

Crowfeather, getting impatient, mewed quietly, "Leafpool?" He wanted to hear her voice! He saw her blink a few times. "I'm sorry, What was that?"

He stifled a sigh of annoyance.. There was no time! He had to hurry! "I'm looking for my son, Breezepaw." He repeated.

--

Leafpool flinched at the name. She felt jealousy spread through her like a wildfire as she remembered Crowfeather had a mate, Nightcloud, and a son, Breezepaw. Did they have another one? Leafpool did not remember. That didn't matter. She struggled to push the jealousy away and cleared her throat. "Breezepaw is not here. We have not seen him." She tried her best to hide the jealousy in her eyes, but was not succeeding, so she turned her gaze away to her paws.

Leafpool could clearly see Crowfeather was in a hurry. "He's not here," She repeated "So you can go now. It's getting late, and I have to get back to my Clan." Her voice a bit more firm than she'd hope, and she thought she saw him a little crestfallen, but he quickly hid it. She instantly regretted saying that, but it was true. She had to get back to her Clan, before cats started to miss her. She was the medicine cat, and she couldn't leave Jaypaw all by himself to take care of their Clan. "Good-bye Crowfeather, I hope you find Breezepaw. I will make sure to look out for him on my way back." She mewed and turned away, starting to walk away. Every step was hard for her. So she went slow.

--

Crowfeather blinked. She was leaving? Already? As much as he had to go before people would question, he wanted to stay with Leafpool. As she started to turn, he gathered up all his courage. "C-C-Can w-we meet again?" He stammered. He instantly regretted saying that. Too late. Leafpool stopped, and slowly turned around. Her eyes betrayed nothing. She was good at hiding her emotions. He looked deeper into her eyes. Was she going to regect? Surely she wouldn't! He sent a little prayer to StarClan. He could hear his heart thumping so loudly in his chest.

"I…" She started.

"It's okay if you don't have to…I'll get going now." He quickly interrupted and turned to leave.

"I-I'd love t-that." Her voice was barely a whisper. Crowfeather froze. His heart soared. She wanted to see him again! Maybe that still meant she…

He turned, a huge smile on his face. "Great. Tomorrow? Meet here." He quickly said, turned and bounded away, his smile still wide on his face. He would return back to camp happy, even if he hadn't found his son yet.

--

Leafpool was left there alone. The sun was setting. But Leafpool didn't notice. What have I done? She thought to herself, and headed back to camp.
