~Ashclaw~

I couldn't stop thinking about Scorch, or Deathclan. I paced back and fourth. It was getting close to the full moon. I had to do something quick. How could i have fallen for a she-cat? From Riverclan, it was my duty to kill Ripplestar after the clan got my respect.

"I got to do something quick" i mumbled. I heard a voice behind me, i jumped right out of my pelt. Surprised that anyone was behind me.

"What are you mumbling about?" a she-cat asked. I flatted my fur, it was only Mistyheart.

"Oh nothing, just talking to myself" i said giving her a fake smile. Though i wasn't sure if it was really fake. It was always good to see Mistyheart.

"Wanna go hunting? Since its leaf-fall there isn't much prey left" Hunting eh? Could get my mind off of it. I nodded, hunting did sound nice.

"Yea, it would be nice to warm up"

"Great!" she said smiling already padding out of camp.

As i followed her though the forest, i was wrong. I couldn't forget about Deathclan. My mind wasn't on Mistyheart right now, it was on Ripplestar, Riverclan, and where my loyalty lays. I didn't even know Mistyheart was talking.

"Ashclaw! Are you listening?" she snapped, i turned to her a dumbfounded look on my face.

"A...What where we talking about again?"

"Rainsong!" she said sighing

"What about her again?" I asked

"She is expecting, didn't you notice" Ashclaw shook his head. He hadn't been noticing much now a days.

"Never mind her..." Mistyheart seemed upset about something. I licked her on the cheek.

"Whats wrong?" I asked her.

"Well you would know, if you would be paying attention once and awhile..." she mumbled "Whats with that anyway you'v been out of it forever"

"eh, just a lot on my mind. Nothing really to worry about" she gave me a doubtful look, but sighed again and went back to talking.

"Mothpaw's ceremony is going to be here soon" I turn to look at Mistyheart. Why did she have to mention Mothpaw, she hated me now and who could blame her? I would hate me to, for giving her mixed results.

"Oh really? Do you now when" I say just to participate in the conversation, so Mistyheart wouldn't snap at me again.

"Tonight, I talked to Clovertail today she told me she had already talked to Ripplestar, and he was going to do the ceremony" Mistyheart didn't seem like she had much to say.

"She should be happy, she has waited a long time for this"

"Yea she uh...Deserves it" I knew Mistyheart was trying to say nice stuff for my sake.

"Um...Mistyheart...You never did tell you what was bothering you..."

~Mistyheart~

Should i really tell him? He doesn't seem to be telling me everything.

"Its nothing like i said..."

"Come on, we got to be truthful with each other" he whispered to me, in a loving, caring voice.

"Well you don't seem to be to truthful!" I snapped, but than lowered my head. "I'm sorry Ashclaw i shouldn't of done that..." I turn my head to face him. "Its just i'v seen Runningfeet...And my sister...Silversong they have been hanging out, and she hasn't been talking to me since. I don't know why if you thinking that. Maybe its because she doesn't want to tell me she likes him" I say turning to him "what do you think i should do?"

"Hey, its not your fault all you can do is talk to her" she nodded and licked me cheek.

"Ashclaw i'm so glad i have you, and i always will" he turned away from my gaze and i gave him a puzzled look.

~Ashclaw~

I was quite for a awhile. She trusts me, she thinks i'm going to be here...Forever. I could say anymore, i let Mistyheart talk for the rest of the way, who was already more cheery. I listened to her, every so often throwing out a word or two.

"Really?" Or

"Thats good news" she would always nod, than keep talking, but still at the back of my mind was Deathclan.
