Important chapter, hope you love it.
Moonsong's P.O.V.
I sighed irritably as I watched Larkwing whined herself around Banestep, stupid she cat. Did she ever get the vibe that maybe, Banesteps not interested? Well I guess I'm not one to talk sense he's not interested in me either. He's not interested in ANY of the she cat in our clan. But lately he's been acting weird, like anxious, as if he knew something was coming., "Hey Moonsong, looks like I beat you at Banestep." Larkwing mewed, her dark eyes gleaming with antagonism, as she padded back.
"Hardly." I said softly.
"Excuse me?" she said whipping around.
"Oh nothing." I said and padded away.
"Moonsong." I heard Banestep call to me.
"Yeah?" I asked stopping and turning to him.
"Will you lead a hunting patrol for Flameclan, please? I'd do it but I have so much stuff to do it's not even funny." he said, his pale blue eyes pleading me.
I nodded my head," Sure, should I take Flameclan cats?" I asked, he nodded.
Sabriel's P.O.V.
I sighed with distaste as I watched my daughter circle around Spark, she had a strong affection for him, which I hated, but then again, why should she not? He's never harmed her, and at times he's even praised her, and Sybrina spent a lot of time around him, as if she viewed him as a father or something, there father, I though, I wonder if he was alive still, or did the attack on Flameclan wipe him out? I sighed looking up at the sky, "Basilleaf…" I whispered.
"You know, talking to cats that aren't there is a sure sign of insanity." Sparks smug remark sounded in my ear.
I looked at him, "Like you're one to speak, you're the most insane cat I've ever met." I snapped with a glare.
Spark shrugged, "That's possibly true," Spark said, his dark eyes locked with mine, and as I started at his charcoal eyes, I felt a chill run through my body, how could his eyes be so filed with emotion but at the same time still seem so distant and empty, as if he was incomplete. Then I realized something, Spark himself was physically here, but his mind was far out of reach, he was on an average cats standards, insane, but he was too me sane on a different level.
"Or maybe you're just sane on a different standard." I said, Spark's gaze turned to a startled look.
"Maybe you're right, who's to say?" he said, a relaxed, isolated look returning to his face.
"Will you never cease to amaze me, how is it you always seem different?" I asked locking gazes with him.
Spark shook his head, " I don't know, maybe it's you." he said, then stood and padded away, I watched him go, bewildered by his sudden change in attitude.
"You don't thinks its wrong do you? That you killed some many cats." I mewed to him
Spark paused and turned to me, "What's wrong depends on a cats view of what's right." he said.
"Do you see it as wrong?" I asked my gaze fixed on him.
He smiled, a could sick suffering smile, "Yes." he said then turned and padded away. I again watched him go, confused and bewildered. I never knew there could be a cat like Spark.
Banestep's P.O.V.
I shifted from paw to paw as I waited for Cometstreak, I didn't want to this but I had to, "Banestep!" I heard the enchanting voice of Cometstreak ring in my ears, this was going to be near impossible.
"Cometstreak…" I started but trailed off as she rubbed her cheek against mine, "Cometstreak, remember when I promised we'd be together forever? I have to break it." I said, looking at my paw.
"You don't love me any more?" Cometstreak mewed, hurt lacing her voice.
"No! I still love you and I always will!" I said in alarm.
"Then why are you doing this?" Cometstreak asked, anger twisted in her voice.
"Because, I'm the deputy now, and I have an apprentice, and my clan needs me at full strength now with the threat of Sparkclan, believe me when I say I really don't want to end this." I meowed, looking into her eyes.
"Cometstreak that night when I came to Dustclan to find you I mad a mistake, I won't ever regret it though." I said, in quivering voice.
"So I'm a mistake to you? That's it an ugly mistake." Cometstreak said, bitterly.
"No it's not like that, Cometstreak listen to me, you're the most beautiful thing to me, and the mistake I made that night is and always will be the best thing that ever happened to me." I said, desperately trying to get her to understand.
"That night, when we talk, it was the greatest thing the ever happened to me too." Cometstreak said to me, and buried her face in my shoulder.
"Cometstreak I love, and I always will, maybe someday we can be together, but that day's not today." I said to the silver she cat beside me.
"I'll always love you Banestep, no one can ever replace you." Cometstreak whispered, her voice cracking with grief.
"I wish there was a way I could be with you." I whispered to her.
"I'll always remember when, I went with you that night, I'll never regret you." Cometstreak said to me, I nodded in agreement. I never knew letting go could be so hard.
