Chapter 8

I rushed up to Swiftpaw with joy. I sprinted up to him and instantly all my troubles disappeared, I have forgotten all that had just happened. I starred into his amber eyes, which where not glowing like the other cats of Starclan. I felt comforted, protected by him. He was there I was safe. I knew everything would be fine the moment I laid eyes on him once again.

To me, it was only us. Standing there in the clearing. None of the others bothered me. The moment was flawless, it was sure something of pure magic. He was all I needed. He was all I needed to guide me through my troubles. When I was with him, I was free. I hade no fears lurking in the darkness, no nightmares to be waken up from. Swiftpaw… Swiftpaw is my one, my everything.

I was so happy to know now that, no matter what the dog pack did, no matter what the boundary between life and death stats, it will always be me and him traveling through life's toughest obstacles.

"I-I missed you." I gasped, I laid my head on his shoulder. "It's ok now! We can go home and tell Thunderclan what happened. We can move past this and everything will be all right." Swiftpaw looked shyly at his paws.

"Lostface, I need you to do something for me." He whispered.

"Yes." I spoke. "What is it?" Swiftpaw gently pushed my head off of his shoulder.

"I need you to carry on." He said. "Forget about me, please… don't destroy yourself for what happened these past few days, and… don't… talk about me." Swiftpaw looked down at the ground. I gazed at him in shock.

"What! Why will I have to do that?" I asked.

Swiftpaw looked up at me in sorrow.

"I'm dead Lostface, I'm not coming back." I jumped backward and gazed at him my heart raced in confusion and anger.

"What do you mean your dead? You can't be!" I gasped with my tail straight up in the air. "We have to tell everyone."

"Lostface… I know you knew I was dead the second I hit that rock, you heard Spottedleaf and Yellowfang when they first told you and you even saw my body get carried into camp. Surely this can't be that shocking to you."

Hot with embarrassment, I started to blurt out words.

"You don't understand… this is… a nightmare! I'm going to wake up, we will still be apprentices in Thunderclan. We must remember that this is just a dream." I blurted. "We must… we… WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT ME IF YOU WONT MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET BACK UP?" Swiftpaw wasn't affected by my shouts.

"It doesn't matter…"

"Yes it does! Tell me why?" I asked.

"Because! I love you!"

At that moment I stopped, my heart stopped, everything stopped. The earth no longer turned, the grass no longer grew, and the river no longer flowed. I felt a slight breeze at my paws. For a moment I believed nothing.

"You… you do?" I asked. Swiftpaw smiled at me a nodded.

"I always loved you, I just… didn't think you would ever like me. I mean… I'm such a disappointment, and you are so sweet, smart, pretty and very confident. I just didn't want it to wreck our friendship."

I felt pain of guilt come through me.

"All you hade to do was tell me before, then we would have been so strong." I whispered into his ear.

"We are." He replied with a bright smile. "I can't believe you followed me to fight the dog, even if you knew it wasn't right."

"I would have done anything to make you happy." I smiled. "And I always will."

At that moment I felt like I was spinning, it was true. Love was true. Swiftpaw and I collapsed on each other. We laid our heads on each other's shoulders and for that moment, we pretended it was simple.

You know what… It was simple. Swiftpaw will watch me from Starclan. I will always remember him for these moments. I felt the comfort of his warm pelt and I smiled. I tear of joy slowing traveled down my cheek. I raised my head of off him and smiled. He beamed at me. I watched as he slowly turned into a cat of Starclan.

His wounds reappeared and his eyes grew blank. Yet… he still looked perfect. I smiled at him once again. All at once the world began to slowly fade, his eyes glowed until they disappeared. I was flying down toward sunlight. I smiled, Swiftpaw loved me… that was all I ever wanted.

I shot awake. Where was I? What happened? I looked around I was in Cinderpelt's den. Why was I here? I looked up and saw a white cat with blue eyes look down at me. It was Cloudtail, he was jumping with joy.

"Lostface! No way! Lostface!" He shouted with joy. Who was this Lostface? Was it me?

Cloudtail jumped to his feet and ran out the door.

"Everyone! Everyone! She's alive! Lostface is alive! She is going to be ok!"

Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry I was camping over the weekend (Excuses, excuses) Well, It was announced that Swiftpaw loves her :D… to bad he is dead and she temporarily doesn't remember any of it. So the next chapters are going to be hard to make cause I am jammed this week too! And I have my last field trip this week too.

So I really had to take a lot of thought from my crush into Lostface's crush. I haven't told my crush I like him even though I have crushed on him for two years now. I'm such a wimp, eh?

So the question of the day is, what do you love about your crush, boyfriend, husband ect.? What I love about my crush is that, he is super sweet and he is always there for me. I feel safe around him and that no matter what I can count on him.

Leave your answer in the reviews.

Oh and… Happy Early Birthday Cornerofthemoon
