AN: Well done to ilovelotsofstuff for winning the prize; A full length story. I'll post the details on my profile.
Previous chapter was Jayfeather! Or Jaypaw, really...
Pretence
I had to pretend
Or we would fall
I needed that power
Or we would be broken up.
One lie lead to another
And another lie
Until it was thought
That a sickness could kill a young leader
Way too soon
It lead to treachery
And a few deaths
Because cats thought
That they would never live
They just gave up.
AN: Anyway, the story is about Ivypool. She has a love-hate relationship with a tom from another Clan. It's set a moon after The Last Hope.
