Squirrelfight smiled at Ashfur. "I like spending time with you. You are a real great cat, Ashfur." She purred.
Ashfur smiled at the she-cat. "Thanks." He said. "I forgot, I promised Birchpaw I'd hunt with him. Got to go. Bye!" He said. Ashfur ran away into the clan.
Squirrelfight smiled. She was thinking about having him as her mate. But would she be wrong about that? Was Brambleclaw the cat for her?
No. He couldn't be. He barley showed any respect to her since the journey ended. All he wanted to do was kill either Ashfur or Hawkfrost.
Ashfur was super kind. He helped Squirrelfight no matter how busy he was. I know he is right for me. She thought.
Squirrelfight could smell her mother coming. She saw her pelt. "Hello Sandstorm!" Squirrelfight greeted.
Sandstorm smiled. "Hello Squirrelfight. I see you are intrested into toms these days." She said.
The young warrior nodded. "Yeah. I really think Ashfur is. Brambleclaw has turned his back on me for some reason." She said.
Sandstorm blinked. She and Firestar knew the truth.
"Squirrelfight honey. Firestar knows why Brambleclaw isn't paying attention to you. Since Graystripe is really sick, Brambleclaw is trying t see if he could handle deputy." Sandstorm revealed.
"I knew Brambleclaw wanted to be leader." Squirrelfight hissed. Was Brambleclaw on her side or Tigerstar's side?
"But why didn't you answer about Ashfur?" Squirrelfight asked.
Sandstorm slowly gulped. She couldn't tell the truth, could she?
"Ashfur is my brother. He is your uncle. He forgot." Sandstorm revealed.
Squirrelfight was shocked. She was in love with her uncle?
"Where is Brambleclaw?" Squirrelfight asked. Sandstorm smiled. "Hunting alone, good time to sneak up on him." She said.
"Bye!" Squirrelflight said, running away towards Brambleclaw.
