A.N.:Hey everybody! I've decided to make this story a two-shot. Please review! I don't have too much of an idea of how I'm going to do this, so if nothing comes to me as I type, forgive me if it's a little short. Happy reading!

A muffled mew of protest escaped from Leafpool's throat as the cool early morning breeze swept around her thin body. The ex-medicine cat tried to ignore it and hang on to the escaping threads of her dream. She was dreaming about her and Crowfeather.

Leafpool purred as the warm sunshine warmed her pelt, enveloping her in pleasure. At the curve of her belly, three tiny kits lay suckling for milk. There were two she-cats and a tom. The first she-kit had Crowfeather's dark coat and lean body, but she had Leafpool's amber eyes. The second she-cat looked identical to Leafpool.

The tom had a mixture of Leafpool's tabby coat and Crowfeather's dark one, with green eyes. Looking up from her small bundles, she saw Crowfeather enter the den with a fish clamped firmly in his jaws. Leafpool gasped with shock.

"How did you manage to get a fish? You're no RiverClan cat!" Crowfeather purred with delight as he dropped the fish next to Leafpool.

"Anything for you Leafpool. It's not that difficult once you get the hang of it. How are the kits?" Leafpool flicked the tom's ear with amusement.

"They're growing like weeds. How do manage to find enough to feed them?" Crowfeather's only response was a purr as he took a bite from the fish before passing it over to Leafpool. Leafpool savored the test of the pink, tender meat. It was wonderful! Crowfeather never ceased to amaze her.

Whatever she wanted, he was able to catch. Excusing herself from the meal, the she-cat stepped outside to enjoy the newleaf air. The sun gleamed overhead and a crisp breeze blew gently across the moor. The couple had decided to raise their kits here, Leafpool began to love all the open space. It gave her a feeling of euphoria, like she could run forever.

Moving down the slope to a small stream, she lapped a the crystal clear water. Drinking her fill, she spun around quickly at the sound of a voice behind her. Leafpool relaxed as she saw it was only Crowfeather. Winding her tail with Crowfeather and pressing against his side, the couple proceeded to walk back up the slope. They paused as the entrance to the den was reached.

"I love you so much Crowfeather," Leafpool meowed, breathing in his scent. Crowfeather's voice came next, but it wasn't what Leafpool expected to hear.

"Leafpool! Get your lazy carcass up now!"

Leafpool's eyes sprang open as a heavy blow smashed down on her ribs. The female feline yowled with shock and terror as blow after blow followed suit. Hauling her emaciated body up as quickly as she could, Leafpool immediately fell back down as Crowfeather's paw smashed the side of her head.

"What are you waiting for? Go get me something to eat!" Crowfeather snarled. Leafpool got up from her gorse nest and ran as fast as her damaged legs would carry her before sinking to the ground in exhaustion. Blinking through unshed tears, Leafpool pulled her self upright and moved along the grass, jaws stretched for the smell of fresh-kill.

Reaching the top of a hill, she looked down to see a particularly large rabbit nibbling at grass stalks. Almost picturing her teeth sinking into the rabbit meat, Leafpool stalked down the slope until she was within a few fox-lengths of the rabbit. Closer...closer...and...Leap!

Her paws hit empty ground as the rabbit bounded away. Screaming her bad luck aloud, Leafpool beat her head against the ground as she replayed the scene over and over in her mind. Pulling herself together, the medicine cat slowly got up and limped blindly in one direction. She soon gave up looking for prey as hot tears streamed down her face.

Leafpool wasn't thinking about anything in general, just how good her life had been before it slipped away. Pausing, the she-cat wiped away her tears with the back of her forepaw before looking around. Her eyes flew wide with horror as she the entrance of Crowfeather's den before her. She had never come back empty-pawed before! StarClan knows what Crowfeather would do to her!

Turning around, she limped away as fast as she could. She made it about ten steps. A black blur smashed into her side. Leafpool yowled in agony as she felt something snap. She had broken a rib. Crowfeather leered down at her.

"Come back with no prey? I'll teach you!" The tom sank his teeth roughly into Leafpool's scruff and began to drag her across the ground. Every bone in her body felt as if had been snapped into little pieces. She couldn't fight Crowfeather, he was to strong. Leafpool was so tired, she could barely move her head. After being dragged for awhile, Crowfeather paused. After glaring into Leafpool's eyes for a moment, he released her.

SPLASH!

Leafpool let out a gurgle as the stream carried her swiftly away. She tried as hard as she could without success to work her paws. She couldn't even take a gulp of air as the current pushed her under. Her last sight was of Crowfeather as the tom sat there on the bank, watching as the stream carried his past love to her death.

Leafpool's body screamed in pain. She desperately needed air. The current began to push her towards the surface, and the drowning she-cat's heart soared. She was going to live! Her dream was shattered as the current pushed her away from the surface and her last chance of life. As a tremor went through her body, Leafpool's vision began to darken. Not being able to stop it, a black wave covered her eyes.

Maybe this won't be so bad, Leafpool thought. I'll be away from Crowfeather, I'll escape. It doesn't matter that I won't join StarClan. I'll be away, and that's good enough for me. Leafpool's last thoughts went dark as her body shut down. The dead she-cat wore a peaceful smile, even in death. Clearing everything away from her mind, she floated off into the stars.

A.N.:Man, that was depressing. Oh well. Don't forget to review! All reviewers get LeafpoolxCrowfeather plushie, when Crowfeather was nice. It's one plushie because their tails are sewn together. LeafxCrow rock! Again, review! Peace out!
