Hey guys! Here we are with the next chapter! I literally don't know what else to say, so I hope you enjoy the chapter!

"Moondust, Moondust!"

Moondust beamed with pride as the clan called out her new warrior name. She gazed around the clearing as everyone cheered and Silverleaf, her mentor, smiled warmly at her. She smiled back and sighed happily. Moondust wished that Mintpelt could be here with her, and she suddenly remember she wouldn't be able to see him tonight because of her vigil.

The clan began to disperse and head back to their dens, while Moondust sat down near the entrance of the camp. She gazed up at the sky and remember when Mintpelt had taken her into the tree to see the stars. But tonight, clouds blotched out the glitter of Silverpelt, and the night was dark. Moondust bit her tongue—no, it isn't a sign! She thought. Firestar himself told me I would make a great warrior! But…he doesn't know about… Moondust straightened up and refused to think of what could happen to her if anyone found out. I should talk to Whitepaw as soon as possible… She thought. She wasn't even the least bit interested about what I was doing out in the middle of the night up in a tree. Unless…she already knows.

Moondust's thoughts got cut off as she noticed a flash of ginger pelt whip past her. She looked over just in time to see Squirrelpaw trotting away from Firestar quickly towards the apprentice den, her father glaring after her. At least I don't have to share a den with her anymore! Moondust laughed silently. But she did look quite upset…

Moondust excitedly raced through the forest towards the RiverClan border, her mind whirling. She knew she should be sleeping, after all, she had had her vigil the other night and needed rest, but she just couldn't wait to tell Mintpelt that she had become a warrior! He'll be so proud! She thought happily. Even more exhilarated, Moondust surged faster and faster, her long, black legs carrying her forward. She leaped over a log gracefully and slid into the clearing where Mintpelt had told her to meet him and skidded to a stop. Mintpelt was already there, and he jolted around when she nearly crashed into him.

"Jeez, you scared me so bad!" He snorted. Mintpelt stood up and slowly walked towards her, but without the usual smile he wore on his face when he was around Moondust.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, concerned. He seemed a bit…off to her.

"Yeah, fine." He sighed. He looked up at Moondust with a blank look on his face.

"Well…I have great news!" Moondust said awkwardly, attempting to break the silence.

"I…I'm a warrior now! My name is Moondust!" She grinned.

"Wow, that's awesome!" He smiled, but Moondust thought it looked forced.

"So…is there anything you want to do?" Moondust asked quietly. "Or should we just go back?"

"Yeah, I guess so. There's nothing much to say." He responded. Moondust narrowed her eyes at Mintpelt. Mintpelt turned around to leave, but Moondust called after him.

"Want to meet here again later?"

Mintpelt flinched and turned around to face her, his eyes grim.

"We won't be meeting again, Moondust."

"Wh-what?" She stammered, shocked.

"I said we won't be meeting here anymore." Mintpelt replied harshly.

"But…but why?" Moondust looked up at Mintpelt, completely astounded at him. I knew he was acting strange… She thought coldly.

"Don't be such a fool, Moondust! Why do you think?!" He spat viciously at her.

"What is wrong with you Mintpelt?" She sniffled. "You said—"

"Who cares what I said!" He cut her off. "I can't keep doing this, Moondust! It's tearing me apart! I don't even know where my loyalty lies now…but I know it should be my clan."

"But—"

"Can't you realize what a close call we had last time? I just can't risk my place in the clan anymore…and if I keeping meeting you someone will find out eventually!" He sighed, shaking his head and refusing to meet her eyes.

"You said…you promised…"

Mintpelt whipped his head up and smacked Moondust hard in the face with his paw, causing her to sway.

"Well, I guess my promise has been broken." He snarled in her face. "Goodbye, Moondust." With that, Mintpelt whirled around and raced off towards the river.

"Mintpelt…MINTPELT!" Moondust shrieked, trying to take a step after him, but his slap had dizzied her and she collapsed on the ground. Thunder rumbled in the sky and a heavy rain began to fall, soaking her white fur. "Mintpelt…come back to me…" She whispered, her lip trembling. Realization crashed down on her like a tree falling on top of her. Mintpelt is gone. Moondust felt as if her heart had been shattered into a million pieces.

As the rain fell down ever harder, Moondust buried her face in her paws, sobbing. The only cat she had truly ever cared for was gone, her Mintpelt. Moondust looked up at the sky, rain pounding down on her face. "What did I ever do to deserve this?!" She wailed, challenging StarClan.

And now he's gone…forever…

Holy COW, that was depressing! Man, I'm sorry for that, but it had to happen eventually. Also, PLEASE REVIEW! I'm sorry it goes by so fast, I tried adding more details, but it doesn't seem to help. If you have any tips on that, please tell me! Next chapter coming soon!
