"Stormfur! Stormfur!" Squirrelflight called as she swept through the marshy grounds of RiverClan.

"Squirrelflight! Be quiet! I had to duck out of a patrol so they wouldn't come find you," Stormfur gently scolded her. Then he saw the look of excitement on her face.

"What is it?" he asked looking bewildered.

"We're going to have kits!" Squirrelflight cried so loudly birds flew from their nests.

"Shhhhh the patrol might hear you, but that's great," Stormfur purred deeply.

"Okay, I must go now," Squirrelflight said giving Stormfur a loving look before she raced off to ThunderClan territory.

"What was that?" Hawkfrost asked Stormfur when he came back.

"Um, it was Brook she was hungry," Stormfur lied.

"Fine, but I've got my eyes on you," Hawkfrost exclaimed casting his cold, steely eyes on the smaller cat. Stormfur tried not to flinch.

"Let's get on with the patrol," he said and went along.

"Cats of ThunderClan I have an important announcement to make!" Firestar cried from the Highledge. The cats of ThunderClan gathered around him.

"We must be prepared from an attack from RiverClan! Leopardstar will not forget about what happened when we accused Hawkfrost. So patrol the RiverClan border more frequently," he told everyone and jumped off the ledge to speak with Sandstorm and Cinderpelt. Squirrelflight felt her heart sink. She would never get to see Stormfur now.

"Are you worried about seeing Stormfur?" a voice behind her whispered. She quickly turned and saw Brambleclaw.

"Yeah," she admitted. "What will I do, especially because I'm now having kits."

"Don't worry, just come on a lot of patrols with me and Sorreltail and I'll find you a way to get to him," Brambleclaw reassured her.

Squirrelflight gave him a long look and said, "Why are you doing this for me?"

"Because in one part of my heart, I still love you," he replied and walked off. Squirrelflight felt sad, and guilty for not loving him. He was a great warrior and cared deeply about her. Most importantly he was of her own clan. But there was something about Stormfur that made her melt like snow. She cleared her head of such thoughts and ran over to Leafpool.

I know it was a short chapter but next chapter there will be some conflict with ThunderClan and RiverClan!
