Chapter 15

Larkblossom

"Larkpaw!" Larkblossom jumped up, startled from her sleep. A pair of blue eyes peered at her with curiosity and was wide with shock. She backed away from the cat.

"Larkpaw, it's me- Briarpath…" Larkblossom relaxed for a moment, but kept her guard up. Icewhisp wasn't kidding when he said he was sending Briarpath to her. She still felt angry betrayed, but if Icewhisp sent him to her he must be important.

"My name is Larkblossom now, I'm a warrior." She said quietly. The tom smiled slightly. "Congratulations..."

She sniffed. "Don't. I really don't feel like talking with you but I have to." Briarpath tilted his head slightly. "What? What do you mean by that?" He looked a little shocked.

Larkblossom sighed. "Do you know Icewhisp, or recognize the name?" Briarpath's eyes opened wide with shock again, but now with fear.

"Y-yes…he was my uncle…how do you know him?" He stuttered.

Larkblossom nodded. "He came to me in a dream from StarClan. He told me he was going to send you to me, but I don't k now why." Briarpath shook his head vigorously.

"No- he couldn't be in StarClan…that monster killed my sister when she and I were kits." He meowed quietly. Grief pooled in his eyes and Larkblossom felt guilty at still being mad at him.

"Icewhisp killed your sister? Can you tell me how and why that happened?" She scooted further back under the fern bush and beckoned him under. He padded under the fern and sat down.

"Redheart told me that she and Icewhisp got into a huge fight and he took it out on little Dawnkit. Her wounds were too great to save when she found her." Larkblossom looked down at the forest floor.

"Well, he is in StarClan…but why would he send you to me? Is there something you have to tell me?" Larkblossom asked hopefully. Briarpath looked straight into her eyes.

"I'm not really mates with Cloudecho, Larkblossom. My father…he told me I had to be her mate. Fernkit isn't my kit! She's an amazing daughter though, I couldn't possibly be more proud but…I love you, not her. I love only you." He blurted. Then he cringed and looked away.

Larkblossom was shocked, he heart felt as if she skipped more than one beat. Then happiness rushed over her heart, replacing the shock and betrayal. "I love you too." She breathed. Briarpath looked back at her, his blue eyes wide with surprise.

"You do? I thought that you would hate me…" Larkblossom shook her head.

"I could never hate you." She nuzzled him softly. He purred and returned her action.

Larkblossom stopped. "No, this I can't…"

"What is it?" Briarpath asked as he sensed her sadness. She gazed at him worriedly.

"It's Jayfrost- he's mad that I thought you loved me. I think he hates me now…I have to go back to camp and I really don't want to face him right now." She growled.

"Then don't go, stay here." Larkblossom looked back at him.

"What?" She asked. The red tom got up then curled up around her.

"Stay here with me for the night- just for this one time." Larkblossom felt a twinge of guilt fill her belly. What if Twigclaw became worried? And what about the vigil?

"My clanmates will miss me though…" She trailed worriedly; but Briarpath rasped his tongue against her ear.

"It's storming! It's safer if you stay here with me."

"But…I'm betraying my clan!" She protested. He ignored her and kept grooming her fur.

"Stay here…for me." He told her. She finally gave up and cuddled closer to him as they settled in for the night.

Jayfrost

Twigclaw wove her way through the new warriors up to Jayfrost. Worry was all over her face when she didn't see Larkblossom with the group of returning new warriors. Before the queen opened her mouth, he knew what she was going to ask.

"I don't know where she is, and it's too dangerous to go out there. Her scent trail will have washed away anyways." He said as he began to walk away. The white she-cat glared at him with her blood red eyes.

"Why have you been such a piece of mouse-dung lately? You need to realize there's more to life than you, Jayfrost!" She spat and hurried off to talk to Kindlestrike and Fawntail. He sighed and turned his back on her and the others. The rain began to fall even harder as night hit.

"Good luck." Littlewing said as he trotted to cover in the nursery to be with Rosesong.

The she-cat had a huge crush on him ever since she was an apprentice, and finally announced this moon she was having his kits. It's not fair. He thought bitterly. Everyone has the one they love except for me!

Then he glanced up at the StoneBranch where Rowanstar's den was located. He felt bad for him. Well, almost everyone. He sighed and watched the others huddle together against the icy rain.

He noticed the Fawntail and Kindlestrike were really close, more than normal friends at least. He figured she would be in the nursery soon too.

He shook his head. This is going to be a long night if I keep thinking like this.

He pictured him and Larkblossom being mates. They could have beautiful kits, maybe a son that looked like him and a daughter that looked like Larkblossom. He smiled at the thought.

Maybe if I become deputy she would love me? Maybe I would be important enough then…

It would be just like her parents.

Oh just give up, she'll never love you…

He hung his head miserably.

Never.

SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER D: I promise the next one won't be as crappy or short! (hopefully!)
