Chapter Seven
Opaquseong P.O.V
"Quailheart, get me a mouse would you?"
The young she-cat jumps to her paws, nodding enthusiastically. Grinning as she trots away to get my meal, I notice a shadow fall over me, hissing in annoyance, I look up at my observer.
"What do you-" I stop mid-sentence because of who's standing over me.
It's Berryleaf.
The freakiest she-cat in the Clan.
But also the most beautiful.
Her amber eyes glow with fury before she hisses: "Stop bullying that poor she-cat."
"Who? Quailheart?" I smile at the agitated she-cat. "You jealous? I have room for a mate..."
Instead of falling at my paws, the tortoiseshell she-cat whacks me across the head with her paw. HARD.
"I have a mate!"
"You can be my mate." I purr, pressing up against the aggressive she-cat.
She hisses before pushing me away. "I distinctly remember you bullying me as a kit."
"That's because I didn't know how beautiful you were going to be."
"Ugh. Don't even try it. I have Splashheart."
Curling my lip in disgust, I growl: "What does he have that I don't?!"
"A nice attitude, good hunter, friendly, handsome-"
"It was a rhetorical question!"
Rolling her amber eyes, she trots away as Quailheart returns with my mouse. The timid she-cat drops it at my paws before backing away a paw-step. Hooking the mouse with my claw, I grumble an inaudible 'thank you' before eating.
"Is something bothering you...?" She whispers, obviously noticing my new-found foul attitude.
"Berryleaf rejected me. Again. I don't know what she sees in that stupid tom Splashheart! I'm way better than him! And yet she still wants to be HIS mate!"
"There's other she-cats..." Quailheart meows slowly, scuffing her paws on the ground in embarrassment.
"Hmph. I suppose."
Thankfully, the she-cat stays quiet while I finish eating, watching Splashheart and Berryleaf share tongues from the other side of camp.
I will have you Berryleaf. Even if I have to kill Splashheart.
