Disclaimer: Hmm, well my name isn't Erin Hunter, I guess that means I don't own this, eh?


Everything, everyone, just every little detail of my old life was left behind besides him. It was a good thing knowing I had him, but now I will never see my beloved sister Squirrelflight again. Hopefully she'd work things out with Brambleclaw, who knows if the two will ever become mates. And now that I have left, what are the thoughts running through Firestar's head? Could he possibly be mad and hold a never ending hatred against his own daughter? I sighed, I could never return there. But with the love of Crowfeather I would have no reason to turn back. Does Sandstorm miss me?

Sometimes I wonder if Cinderpelt seen this coming. I mean, I did get the feeling that she had suspicions of me liking Crowfeather, even as an apprentice I felt so. Now what would she have to tell the other medicine cats at the next full moon? That her apprentice left to be mates with a cat from a different clan and they ran away together? What a shame I was marking upon ThunderClan.

But what about Crowfeather? His mother Ashfoot was clan deputy! She was certain not to be happy, nor would Onestar who has a grudge against ThunderClan at the moment. Now this would certainly make the two clans enemies for seasons to come. Neither of us could possibly turn back now, no not ever. I was sure neither clan would accept us back. Obviously.

Sighing once more I curled my body up and faced him. His eyes were open, observing me carefully. I wrapped my tail around my paws and stuck my nose into my brown tabby fur. My gaze cast upon him as my mind lost itself in complicated thought. Contemplating whether we had chosen wisely or not. Perhaps this would go on for moons, how could I not feel this sense of shame and guilt? My eyes trailed up to the stars. We traveled for one day and we did nothing but walk, we were far, far from the clans now most likely.

These were not the stars of StarClan. Where ever we walk now our ancestors will not follow. Not ever again. We had left them behind too. I would never see my family ever again, not even in death. For eternity now I'd live without them. And nothing could be longer than forever, and just the sound of forever left a huge void in my heart that guiltily I knew Crowfeather couldn't possibly heal or fill. I closed my eyes shut tight as I knew I never felt such pain, but I couldn't let him know it. I let the sound of the crickets chirping in the cool night grass to take my mind off it for a short while.

A short anguished sigh came from him. I immediately blinked my eyes open to stare into the depths of his. "Dear love, what's wrong?" I asked tiredly. He did not meet my gaze, and his dark body curled up in a ball like mine.

"Nothing Leafpool, go back to sleep." His answer came. There was something distant in his voice that I didn't like.

"No... please tell me what it is!" I urged him, if his mind was on the same topic as mine then perhaps we could talk these things out together and I wouldn't have to feel such a sense of lingering guilt.

He did nothing more than shake his head and turn his back on me and close his eyes. I watched silently for a while, watching his chest rise and fall until it fell in a steady, slow, deep rhythm. He was in a deep sleep. I was at lost for words. Not sure what to say or do. I was about to send a prayer to StarClan, but then I realized that it would never me answered or heard. Feeling my eyes glaze up with tears I responded quietly, "I'm sorry." It was an apology to the ones I loved, as well as StarClan. An apology that would never be heard.

Feeling frustrated, as if I'd have nothing left to do anymore and as if all my hope was shredded I closed my eyes. The only good thing about this life was that I had Crowfeather, that was enough to keep my spark for living. I buried my nose into my warm pelt and feel into a light, uneasy sleep.

oOoOo

My sleek, gray-black paws darted out in front of me. I was in swift pursuit of my prey. The light of sun-high flooded down in this wide meadow as I chased after my prey. It dashed in zig-zag paterns that I followed easily using my tail to balance me. My instincts were to sink my teeth into the mottled brown pelt of the rabbit. My eyes narrowed in concentration as my speed increased, then while I was nearing the rabbit I made one pounce. This pounce would all determine whether me and Leafpool would eat today.

My paws headed straight for the fleeing rabbits back. Success! I felt a tingle of pride as my claws hooked in the rabbits pelt and my weight leaned down on it. It struggled flaring its extended paws at me but I dived in and delivered the death bite to the back of it's neck. I felt as the blood gushed out from it's neck and then it slowly went limp, the light dying from it's eyes.

I carried the limp rabbit in my jaws, slowly padding back to the temporary nest me and leafpool made. I blinked my eyes tiredly, I hadn't got much of a sleep last night. I couldn't. To much was on my mind. After all, had I not just left everything behind for a she-cat? Was I insane!? But my question was already answered, no, I was in love. I had been in love once before. My heart still ached for her sometimes.

Oh, how could I ever forget my dearest Feathertail? She understood the arrogant, hot-tempered apprentice I once was. She knew who I was. It was her that I found so damn comforting. She was so beautiful too, sleek silver fur with the prettiest blue eyes I ever seen. She was so slender, and they way I felt when she wrapped her tail around mine was uncomprehendable to anything I had ever felt.

And then she died.

I had blamed myself so much for her death, I couldn't believe it. I was never put under such an amount of misery before. What cat could survive something like that anyways? I would've died of a broken heart if I hadn't met and fell in love with Leafpool afterward. Sure I would never find her as attractive as Feathertail, but yet I would not find myself more in love with a cat than I was with Leafpool. She was so sweet, so kind, so irresistible. She is everything I would want to be the mother of my kits.

I wasn't at all bothered by the fact I'd never see my clan again. Nope. What tom could want that when they now have the love of their life padding beside them for eternity? It was the fact that my clan now knows what a backstabbing betrayer I am. Yes that's right, I doubt I was ever loyal to them in the first place. After all, I always tend to fall in love with she-cats in different clans. Of course, now I'll never meet Feathertail in StarClan, but who knows, she probably travels with the Tribe of Endless Hunting now.

I walked up to Leafpool. She was laying down staring off into the distance. Perhaps being gone from home was bothering her too. I'd have to try hard to show her that I didn't care. I don't' want to be on her list of worries. Dropping the rabbit at her paws she jerked upwards. "Day dreaming huh?" I joked light heartedly. For the first time in our journey she let the corners of her mouth twitch upward in a smile.

I lay down and sank my teeth into the rabbit. The fresh meal felt so good. It was the first thing we ate since we left. She ate with me too, our muzzles would brush here and there and we bit into our prey. It was so delicious, and a good way to start off in a new life together. We ate in an awkward silence, I patiently waited for her to say something. She didn't so I began to speak, "Well, prey is certainly running well around here."

"Yes, indeed." She spoke, her voice sounded so far off. This troubled me.

"Leafpool, somethings wrong." I stated. This was far from a question. Her pleading green eyes glowed into mine and I felt struck by her pain as if it were lightning.

"Yes, something is wrong. My clan perhaps hates me now, and views me as a backstabber!" She cried out her voice cracking with each syllable.

I almost wanted to smile and say 'Welcome to the club', but I decided that would only make matters worse, "No one should blame you," I assured my love, "I am all there is to blame. If not they should hate me and view me as the backstabber, they should hunt me down and kill me. If it was not I who always fell in love with cats from other clans and if it was not I who confessed my love for you in the first place neither of us would be here!"

Her eyes were big and round as they gazed up at me and she placed her tail on me lightly, "We both know that isn't true. I was always so strongly attracted to you even when you were mean to me. It was when you told me you loved me I realized I had felt the same. Even if you didn't sooner or later I'd come to notice that inside of me." She whispered and she twined her tail staring down at her paws. It hurt me so bad, I just wanted this to be my fault not hers.

We stayed liked that for some time, staring at our paws, thinking over the past and our actions. I stood up and stretched, parting my jaws in a wide yawn. I blinked my eyes at her once, "Well Leafpool, If we're ever going to start a new life together I'd suggest we get a move on."

I had broken her away from her thoughts for she finally took her eyes off of her paws and stared up at me, "Yes your right." She mewed and stood up stretching also. We walked once more, just like we had done yesterday. Once again in silence, once again both of us in thought. I would no longer dwell on the past. All I had was the future.

I cast a side long glance at her, she would always I have a guilty feeling inside I was sure. Hmpft, she-cats! I thought. Could they never get over their emotions? Shaking my head I walked beside of her. I had no clue what we were in search for or of. But I was certain to find us a new home that was better than the clans. We would have the life and family together I had always wanted. With her at my side, anything was possible.
