Chapter 9

Wetpaw gazed at the stars above him. His heart was delighted yet his mind kept telling him: You shouldn't do it! Think of Heatherleaf and Breezefur! He shook his head. Deep within him he knew it was wrong, but his love for her was overwhelming. He'd never thought such a strong emotion existed.

Wetpaw was walking on the meadow, hiding in the shadows of the heathers. He didn't want to be seen, and unfortunately the number of night patrols had increased as it was warmer and also because of the ThunderClan.

After what seemed like a lifetime, Wetpaw finally saw the forest. He began running and soon arrived at the border, near the lake.

"You are the one who arrives late, I see." mewed a voice behind him.

Wetpaw was overjoyed to see she had come. Brightaw brushed her cheek against his and purred. "Badger got your tongue?" she asked.

"No. Sorry…" he said. "I'm happy to see you."

"Me too." she whispered in his ear.

They sat down, fur touching and tails curled together, and stared at the lake and the stars.

"It's so beautiful!" observed Brightpaw.

"Like you." added Wetpaw. "Especially in the moonlight."

Brightpaw cuffed playfully his ear. "I'm not. I can't be compared to the stars."

"You can!" insisted Wetpaw. "Because to me you are the most beautiful star."

Brightpaw rolled her eyes. "Stupid furball, stop mooning on me!"

Wetpaw purred. "Well, you wouldn't be here if you also didn't moon over me."

She looked at her paw and said nothing. They sat together in silence. Just each other presence was enough to fill the hole in their heart.

"I wish we were in the same Clan." mewed suddenly Brightpaw.

"Me too!" agreed Wetpaw. "But technically we may be."

Brightpaw tilted her head on side.

Wetpaw shifted his paws, uncomfortable. "You know about Breezefur story?" she nodded so he went on. "Well, Rainpaw and I are his son. So I'm Half-Clan."

She looked at him but to his surprise she said nothing. The look filled of love she gave him was still the same.

"There's also something about my birth you may want to know." mewed Brightpaw. "I'm not… I'm not a Clan cat."

He looked at her in surprise. "What do you mean by not a Clan cat?"

"I'm ThunderClan, don't worry, but I don't have any Clan blood. I was found in the forest as a kit and raised by the Clan."

"So we are both strangers among our own Clan." commented Wetpaw, smoothing the fur between her ears.

"I guess."

After what seemed to be like a couple of heartbeat, they had to leave.

"Dawn is coming too quickly!" complained Brightpaw. "It should let us spend some more time together."

Wetpaw purred. "We'll see each other soon, don't worry."

"Soon is not now." she mewed stubbornly. "But I guess we could see each other in two nights?"

"We should have a good night of sleep tomorrow." he advised.

She looked away. "Yeah."

"See you then in two nights!" he mewed after brushing her cheek one last time.

"I'll miss you." she whispered to him.

Me too he said to himself as he made his way back to the camp.

Since then, they made a habit of seeing each other every two nights…

sorry for the short chapter ! I'll do a longer one next time!
