Halfcrest

Halfcrest cheered with the rest of Thunderclan at the new deputy, his little brother. He watched at the edge of his vision as his father's eyes sparkled in pride.

Lowering his head, Halfcrest thought about the past few moons. He seemed to have slowed down in training and thinking all in one. He couldn't focus on anything. Everything he did, Waterpaw's words would just appear and he would hear the sound of accusation and hurt in her voice over and over. Just a sign that he had hurt her.

Before he met Waterpaw, he was a good apprentice. After he met her, he was a bit distracted, but he got better, when she left, he lost all thought process.

And now she was back to him again. But he knew his brother would refocus on her. And he was ready.

Shadowheart

I held my head up high, only looking at one person that mattered the most. And that person looked proud. My goal was complete. No more fights with my own brother; no more training all the time instead having fun with the other cats.

And I can finally explain to Waterpaw why I had been rude at the gathering. My father had suspected something and I had to prove him wrong before he questioned me. Obviously, he hadn't noticed Halfcrest's politeness towards Waterpaw.

Waterpaw…the cat I had to completely forget in order to achieve this role. I had held back and let my brother have her…now, I'm taking her back. Somehow, I will make her join Thunderclan.

I met Halfcrest's eyes and silently, it was agreed. The battle of deputy was over; now it was the battle for Waterpaw.

Like all the other cats in the clan, I turned around and saw Waterpaw with her mentor, a broad and strong looking golden tom. Before I could make a sound, a low growl escaped Halfcrest as he padded over to them. Unfortuantely for me, I saw the way she looked at him.

And it wasn't her fault. I had broken her heart, her entirely. I had a dream once, about that night. I still feel the guilt of my mistakes deep within me. But that was what I was going to do; I was going to make it right.

Talistar walked down to the 3 and Waterpaw went back to her stance. I followed Talistar, aware of my father's eyes close behind me.

"What brings you to Thunderclan so early? And was t important that you could not have waited for patrol?"

Waterpaw's mentor stepped up in front, "Yes, if we may have a place to talk-."

"Of course, follow me," Talistar led the way.

Waterpaw was about to follow when the golden tom stopped her with his tail, "No. Stay here, talk to some apprentices or something. I won't take long."

"But Liontail, Shinningstar sent me too," her voice wasn't whiny as most apprentices would've been in the situation. It was confident and appraising. That is why I didn't like the softness in Liontail's eyes as he answered back to her.

"I'll tell you what happens, talk to the new deputy," he pointed a paw to me, something in his eyes were knowing. He knows…

We all heard the low growl Halfcrest accidently let out as he glared at Liontail. Liontil merely nodded to us and left and left with an eoncouraging glance at Waterpaw again.

I expected her to turn to me first, talk about my deputyship.

"Hey, what have you been doing?" she was directed toward Halfcrest instead.

I saw his entire body relax and something appeared in his eyes, "Just thinking of times we could meet again."

"Halfcrest…"if I didn't love my brother so, I would've torn him apart. The way her voice dripped honey when she said his name, the way he responded with the glittering amber eyes and matched her green one's perfectly.

"Hello, Waterpaw," I offered since it seemed as if she had forgotten about me.

As if to read my thoughts, she rolled her eyes, "I was just getting to you, Shadowp-heart. No worries…I see you're deputy now. Congratulations," she smiled. Even though the smile was real that showed pride, it was nothing compared to the one she gave Halfcrest now. I wonder if it was possible to hate someone so fast.

I was about to reply when Shrewclaw, my father, came up and snarled, "My you bunch talk like you know each other."

"Gathering's," Waterpaw inserted. I wanted to hiss at her to turn away instead of meeting my father eye for eye. I saw she could tell the kind of cat he was but the stubborn she-cat kept met his gaze squarely.

"Really? Shadowheart, I thought you said you didn't associate with any fish-brains," Shrewclaw reminded.

I hate him. That look Waterpaw gave me when she ripped her gaze from Shewclaw's. It made me swoon, and not in a good way. The kind of swoon where you felt like your entire body was swallowed by numbness and nothing but your brain is working. It hurts.

Just when it couldn't get any worst, Halfcrest met my eyes and I saw it in his eyes too. He actually believed my act. My own brother that I thought he knew me through and through.

Something flashed in his amber eyes and he turned to Waterpaw, not acknowledging Shrewclaw, "Yes, the special cat from the gatherings."

I could not believe my Halfcrest had the nerve-the bravery, to say something like that in front of my father.

And Shrewclaw did not disappoint, "Excuse me?"

"No, I wasn't speaking to you," Halfcrest shook his head politely.

"Um…thanks," Waterpaw said, obviously oblivious to what was going on. Shrewclaw was about to say something when Mosspelt called him. One last glare in Waterpaw's direction, he left.

Again, we were interrupted by Liontail' arrival, "I'll tell you what happened as we head out. Hope you had a good conversation. Let's go."

He dipped his head to the both of us, leading the way out.

I turned to Waterpaw, "That wasn- "

"True?" Waterpaw raised a paw and set it down, a sign of intense emotion, "I don't believe that. Which is pretty sad because I know you would say something like that. But it's okay…I know when someone means what they say," her eyes flickered to Hlafcrest and for another moment, I wanted to rip him apart. Why him? I had her first! I met her and saw her first!

But she was already following Liontail. Halfcrest boomed up, "I'll lead them out,"he left with them.

I fumed in fury. Why hadn't I suggested so I could schedule a meeting with her tonight?

Why was Waterpaw slipping through my paw's now when before she'd been in it for him to have?

Waterpaw

I knew Shadowheart had said that but if he did, he didn't mean it. I guess everything was piecing together now. Upon all the things I was sure off, I was 100 percent sure of one thing: I hated Shrewclaw.

He had indirectly forced Shadowhearrt and Halfcrest into things they certainly didn't want to do.

And Shadowheart had been strange…I would've expected a boastful and happy deputy talking freely. Instead, he seemed to be watching Halfcrest a lot and getting a distracted look on his face.

"Waterpaw? Is tonight good?" Halfcrest whispered.

I knew Liontail knew by now. We hadn't exactly been sneaky with our meetings or affection for each other. Liontail had herd and turned slightly, pity in his eyes. He knew I was going to decline and have another day of depression. Well, he thought he knew I was going to decline.

I learned my lesson. I knew meeting cats from different clans was bad and sometimes costed other's their lives.

"Yeah," but my love for Halfcrest overrides everything I ever belived in.

As we headed out of Thunderclan, I felt another pelt on the other side of me. But I didn't look. I kept walking.

"I hope you know what you're doing. I'll support you until the end, my friend," and just like that, Firepaw disappeared again.

I was forgiven.
