It was late at night. My eyes opened and I quietly walked over to Lightpaw, making sure she was fully alseep. She was. Then, I peeked out of the medicine den. I didnt see anyone so I slowly creeped out, heading towards the flower patch. I was finally out of camp. All of a sudden, I heard paw steps, then nothing but a gentle breeze. I looked around, suddenly, I heard a twig snapping so I slowly crouched down. I could feel the gazing of eyes buring the back of my head; I was being watched. So, I ran as fast as my paws could take me, but I heard another set of paws behind me. Then, I saw the familiar warrior with short blue-gray fur. "Where are you going?" She asked suspiciously.

"Where are you going?" I spat.

"You didnt answer my question, Fawnpetal." She said, still calm.

"Answer mine first."

"I was seeing where you were going."

"Oh, were you?"

"Lets not start a fight. You dont want to fight with me." She growled.

"Then leave me alone!" I hissed as I tried to go away but Pondmist ran in front of me, stopping me.

"Your going to see that rouge, arent you?"

"Please, just leave me alone!" I begged. She was much stronger than me. Accually, she was the best warrior in the clan. And me; I was a medicine cat, I wasnt meant to fight. My eyes widened pitifully, filled with fear. What if she tells another cat?

"Then go back to camp."

"No."

"Why not?"

"I promised him I would meet him!"

"Well sometimes, promises have to be broke!"

"Not this one! You dont know how it feels to be in love when you arent allowed to!" I yelled. Her expression never changed though.

"This is against the roles!" She growled.

"I dont care, I'm following my heart. You wouldnt understand, Pondmist." I murmured sofly, looking down on my paws.

"You know what? Fine! Do what you want, your no better than a whiney kit anyway. Always have to get what you want, huh?"

"Accually, no. I never wanted to be a medicine cat at first, but look at me now. I'm still a medicine cat. I learned to live with it. And so what if I want to be with Shadow. I love him. And if thats what you think of me, I guess we arent friends after all." I said softly, running off. Not bothering to look back.

Suddenly, underneith the oak tree, stood Shadow. I smiled, running over to him. We brushed cheeks right away. "Oh Shadow, I wont let anyone separate us!"

"I know." He said, licking my forehead.

"Its just... They tried to stop me."

"Oh..."

"But they cant." I said sweetly, looking into his eyes as he looked into mine. He smiled.

Then, we curled up in a soft patch of grass. The breeze blew hard, making the scent of flowers blow towards my nose...

Milky sunshine hit my soft pelt as my eyes opened. "Oh no..." I said, sitting up.

"What?" Asked Shadow, sitting up by me.

I curled my long, bushy tail around my paws and looked up at the sky. The sun was almost completely up. "I must go." I mumbled, pressing againt him, taking in his scent one last time for the day. "I love you." I said softly.

"I love you, too." He murmured, and I ran off towards camp, praying to starclan no cats would get suspicious. When I made it back to camp, no cats were awake yet. I sighed with reliefe and crawled back in my den to wake Lightpaw so we could go on with the day... And await for night to come.

Suddenly, as me and Lightpaw were sharing a rabbit, I saw Pondmist walk over to me and sit down. I stopped eating and glared at her.

"Lightpaw, can you please clear the den of any old herbs, I'll be in there soon." I said, Lightpaw nodded and walked into the den." Suddenly, I faced Pondmist. "What do you want?" I said.

"I want to apologize. If your really in love with him, fine. I wont get in the way of that. I'll pretend to not know a thing. I'm not part of any of this, though. Got it? Now, are we friends?"

I smiled, "Yes, we are."

"Good." She said, smiling back. "I have a border patrol to go on now. See ya!" She said, running off.

I walked into the den, and helped Lightpaw check the herbs. But herbs werent on my mind at all...

I was always exited for the nights, and not getting caught... I was always relieved by that. But as the days went by... I realized something... Something that would change me and Shadow's lifes.
