The night Celeste found out about her parents was the first night she slept peacefully. She knew her father would be looking after her. That was also the first night she had no nightmares. She couldn't wait until she could tell Misto.

The next morning Celeste woke up earlier than she ever had before. She stretched out her back and headed out of her room to find Demeter and Munkustrap already up and ready. She went over to Munkus.

"Hello Celeste, you're up early." Her father said.

"Well, I had a good rest and I feel a lot stronger now." Munkus nuzzled his kit and his mate and left for guard duty. Celeste nuzzled her mom goodbye and ran all the way to Misto's den. When she finally got there she stopped to catch her breath. She knocked quietly. She heard Misto coming to the door.

"Hi Celeste, you look bright eyed and bushy tailed." He said chuckling; he'd never seen her up and about this early.

"Yeah, but I for the first time I didn't have any nightmares! And I finally know who I am…Munkus and Demeter are my parents!" she explained joyfully. Misto hugged her, "I also need to thank you for helping me last night. I'm sorry you had to deal with a cry baby."

"You are not a cry baby. I understand that you were upset, and I'm glad to help anytime I can."

"Thanks Misto." She hugged him tight. "I knew I could count on you." Misto wanted to tell her so badly about how he felt about her. Ever since she hugged him he thought he fell in love again. He hadn't even thought about Victoria since the day that she broke up with him.

"Celeste…there's something I've wanted to tell you for a while now." She looked up at Misto; hoping that he was in her family too, she didn't need any more surprise relatives. "Ever since the moment I met you I felt as if I could never love another…I think I've fallen in love with you." He blushed wildly, hoping that she wouldn't reject his love.

"I-I think I've fallen in love with you as well…" without thinking Misto leaned down and kissed her right on the lips. At first Celeste was surprised, but she found herself kissing him back.

"Now I know I'm in love." Misto said blushing.

"Me too." replied Celeste smiling timidly. Misto walked Celeste to the tire, where Munkus was keeping watch. "Dad…can I talk to you for a minute?" Munkus noted that she and Misto were holding hands.

"What is it Celeste?"

"I need you to know that…Misto and I are… in love." She said gathering her courage. Munkus smiled.

"It's about time; you spend every day with him." He bent down to whisper in her ear. "He's one of the better choices, good pick." She giggled hugged her father's waist. She loved having Munkustrap as a father. Misto and Celeste had Munkustrap's approval so now they were free to be together.

The rest of the week went by and Misto ad Celeste had never been happier in their lives. They were a perfect couple. With all the love they had they never noticed a certain white queen glare at them in jealousy. Victoria wanted HER Misto back. She was originally with him. She wanted to find a way to get Misto away from Celeste. Her plan was going to get carried out that night.

Misto was walking to his den alone when he heard the faint sound of someone crying. He followed the noise and found Victoria "sobbing." He walked over to Victoria to ask her what was wrong. He had no feelings for her anymore, but he couldn't just leave her crying.

"What happened?" Misto asked.

"Plato is such a jerk…he doesn't treat me well…I can't take it, I want you back." she leaned her head on his shoulder, but he stood up and in front of her.

"I'm afraid I've fallen in love with another. Talk to your father or Munkustrap." Victoria got up and stood a little too close to him.

"But what about us? You loved me and I loved you…you didn't forget did you?"

"No, but I don't think you really loved me, you never loved me…but Celeste does, she would never leave me." Victoria got up on her toes and kissed Misto, who tried to break free, but Victoria held a firm grip and he didn't want to hurt her. That's when things turned for the worst; Celeste turned to where they were kissing and gasped loudly enough for the two cats to hear her. Misto broke loose of Victoria's grasp and ran towards Celeste. She scowled at him and bolted the other way. Misto was gaining in her, but she ran into the chest of another tom. She looked up to see Munkustrap.

"What's wrong, what happened?" Celeste let tears escape her eyes and she ran behind Munkus to hide form Misto.

"Misto went back to Victoria." She sobbed into her hands and Munkus felt anger boil up. He thought Misto was better than that; he wouldn't let Misto near his daughter for a long time. Misto finally found Celeste cowering behind Munkus crying. Munkus hissed at him for breaking his daughter's heart.

"Munkus let me explain." Misto started calmly. Munkus hissed again.

"No, I thought you were better than this…now you decide to break my child's heart! You won't touch her again." Celeste bolted out of the junkyard; she couldn't handle any more fighting. There was too much danger for one cat to be out alone. Misto and Munkus raced after her. Misto found Celeste on her knees in an ally. He went over to help her, but when he touched her shoulders she clawed at him.

"I thought you said you loved me…you liar." She hissed.

"I do love you-" he started.

"Then why did you kiss Victoria? Explain that will you?" she said sobbing.

"I didn't-"

"I saw you, you were kissing her." She fell back down and cried. "I thought you said you'd never break my heart, but you did…you did anyway." Misto was about to kneel next to her, when he saw Macavity standing behind him. He grabbed Misto, by the neck and watched the magical cat gasp for air. Macavity dropped the cat and winced in pain. He saw that Celeste had clawed him in the back. He grabbed her by the hair and pushed her head into the pavement. She looked up and blood dripped into her eyes. Now blinded by the red substance, she didn't see Macavity getting ready to slice her throat. When Macavity brought his claws down he felt it strike not Celeste, but Misto. Misto had stepped in front of Celeste. Macavity's jagged claws dug into Misto's stomach. Misto fell next to Celeste and she tried her best to rub the blood out of her eyes. She got some out and realized that Misto took a fatal attack for her. She crawled to him and shook him to get him to open his eyes. "Misto wake up…please, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." She saw Macavity's paw raise above his head. When he brought it down once more Celeste covered Misto, but she did not feel anything strike her. She looked up and Saw her father fighting off his elder brother.

"You took her away from me once; I won't let it happen again." Munkus yelled at his brother. The two continued to battle as Celeste desperately tried to get Misto to open his eyes. Munkus was pushed against a wall by his throat. He gasped for air. His brother was getting sick amusement out of his brother's pain. Celeste got up shakily and clawed Macavity's back as hard as she could. She saw she left numerous deep cuts on his back. Macavity released his brother and swatted Celeste into a wall. Blood dripped into her eyes again and once more blinded her. Macavity took off running.

"I'll get you one day! You and your bastard father!" He yelled running away. Celeste felt her way towards Misto and Munkus followed.

"Misto, please…" she began to cry. She stopped when she heard a heavy cough erupt from his throat. She wiped the remaining blood away from her eyes. "Misto!" he looked at her. "You saved my life."

"It's worth saving…" Misto said weakly.

"Shh…don't try to speak; save your strength." Celeste ordered him placing a paw on his cheek. Misto ignored her orders and held her paw in his.

"I love you…" he said shakily.

"I love you too, I'm so sorry…I should've listened to you…I'm such an idiot…"Misto gripped her paw tighter.

"Don't say that…it's not your fault…" he painfully tuned his head to Munkus, "Thank you."

"Don't thank me…I owe you an apology…" Misto shook his head a little.

"No, no apologies." He looked Celeste. "W-will you be my mate…" Misto asked weakly; he wanted to ask her later, but if he were to die, he wanted to die knowing she was his mate.

"O-of course…I will always love you…and I'm so proud to be your mate." She started to cry. She knew why he was asking her now. He thought he was going to die. "I won't let you die…" She got up and her knees seemed weak. Munkus picked Misto up in his arms and started to go towards the junkyard.
