Chapter 9:
Deeppaw's POV~
When I heard that Darkpaw was back, I ran to find him. "Darkpaw!" I cried when I finally found him. He was surrounded by clanmates.
He smiled. "It's Darkfire now," he said, his voice deeper than I remembered. I looked at him, about to ask a whole bunch of questions about the tunnel run and Snowpaw, when I noticed his eyes. They were moony, like a tom's eyes always are when he's padding after a she-cat. I led him over to the camp wall so we could talk alone.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"Who's what?" he asked me. I sighed.
"The she-cat. I can tell you like someone. I can see it in your eyes. You're distracted." I explained quietly and gently.
"Oh," he said. He hesitated a few moments, and I thought he wasn't going to reply when he said quietly, "Please don't tell. It's Streampaw. From Stormclan." I opened my mouth to say something and he saw it and rushed on. "She took the tunnel run with me and Snowpaw, as well as her brother Thornpaw." I nodded.
"And you like her a lot?" I asked. Darkfire was about to reply when Farpool, our father, came over to congratulate him, and saved him from replying.
