A/N: Okay then, as requested by Leafpool's Loyalty, I've done a poem on Leafpool! I've based it off of her and Crowfeather, so there's some spoilers if anybody hasn't read the last few books in the New Prophecy. Oh, and Sugar Sprite, there's some of Leafpool and Crowfeather just for you! (Don't worry, I still have another thing in mind for the both of them...That's gonna be fun!)

Warnings: SPOILERS!!!!!

Leafpool – It's Never Easy

I was astounded by Spottedleaf's answer.

To follow my heart?

I had no idea what she meant.

And then that she-cat ran away!

She can be so confusing sometimes, it makes me want to scream.

But, as I pondered her words, I knew exactly what I had to do.

Crowfeather, you and I are meant to be.

But, it won't be easy.

For I, Medicine Cat apprentice of ThunderClan,

and he, Warrior of WindClan.

This really wasn't going to be easy.

But then again, love never is.

I told my love of StarClan's will.

And he agreed, we planned to run away together.

Meeting at a prearranged area, the two of us said our last goodbyes to an empty forest.

I wouldn't know until it was too late that this was a grave mistake.

Why can't anything be easy in life?

Why is it so hard to live like you want to?

I had only spent a short time with Crowfeather, when Cinderpelt was upon us.

She couldn't believe that I had betrayed the Clan, and layed her claws on me.

After that Crowfeather and I left the scene.

Cinderpelt sat astounded behind us, but soon she too left.

I purred with Crowfeather by my side,

and the two of us ran for a better life together,

where we wouldn't be judged for our origins.

That night, I knew what I had done was wrong.

Why else would Cinderpelt attack me?

Angry at Spottedleaf for telling me to follow my heart, Crowfeather and I headed back to ThunderClan,

as I remembered the badger attack Midnight had warned of.

Cats were wailing and screeching as I ran back.

The badgers proved to be too much.

I headed to the nursery, where I heard kits bawling in fright.

When I entered, I saw the surprise of my life.

Cinderpelt lay dying.

Running to her side, I pleaded with her to stay, to never leave me.

"Relax Leafpool, it was time.

I knew I would leave soon."

She gave a final shudder and lay dead.

I stood shocked, and like a zombie, I walked out of the nursery.

The battle ended, and still I was confused.

Later on, I spoke with Spottedleaf, who replied,

"I told you to follow your heart.

Isn't your heart always with your Clan?"

I thought this over, and left StarClan.

Realizing that my heart had always been with ThunderClan,

I wept.

And I realized, that it's never easy when it comes to life.

It's only hard.

-But no matter what, life will go on. Some parts will be hard, and some will be easy, but the only thing you need to know is that, we'll all end up in Silverpelt with StarClan together. Eventually, we will all be one giant Clan, working together as one, differences aside.

A/N: I'm soooooo sorry...It didn't turn as well as I had hoped. But maybe that's because the one book I'm missing is Twilight...The one where Cinderpelt dies...Dang...I should probably go get that soon...Anyway, I want to remind you all to request for the next poem!

FW/N: (Fernwhisker Note) Weeee! No matter what you say, I liked this one! Yay Leafpool!

(Sorry, most of the time, when I write, Leafpool is her mentor. Since she is a Medicine Cat!)
