Fireheart watched Windsong trott away, tail held high, Why did you do this?
"You know, you can go now…" Sandstorm mewed, watching as the ginger tom gazed after the silver and white she-cat, "I'll be fine."
Fireheart tilted his head slightly to look over his shoulder at her, "You sure?"
She nodded, looking down at the ground.
"Okay then," Fireheart started to walk off in the direction Windsong had taken when he suddenly stopped, "But first tell me something…"
Sandstorm's head popped up.
"Why did you push me away?"
Sandstorm's mind went blank, what could she say? "What do you mean?"
"Why did you end our friendship?"
The light ginger she-cat looked down and to the side, "I don't know…"
"Mousedung!" He snapped as he whirled around and faced her dead on, staring into her eyes, "Tell me the truth, Sandstorm!"
Surprised by his sudden ferocity, the she-cat took a step back, "why does it matter?" her ears lowered as she mumbled, "You have Windsong, anyways…"
Realization hit Fireheart like a kick to the gut, "You were jealous…"
Those words were a switch to the she-cat's mouth, "Yeah, I was! So what? There's nothing you can do about it! You obviously never cared about me enough to take the time to figure that out, so don't go pitying me now! I don't care anymore! If you wanna go run around and play Clan (Cat-version of House) then by all means be my dam guest! I could-"
Fireheart tackled her to the ground and butted her in the head, "Shut up, Mousebrain, I've always liked you," and rubbed his cheek against hers, twining his tail through hers when she began to purr. Neither one of them were aware of the she-cat watching them with a broken heart.
"It's for the best…"
Fireheart and Sandstorm returned to camp with high spirits. And everyone noticed. It wasn't long before word got sent out around camp that Fireheart had finally settled down with a mate. Many were shocked, however, that Sandstorm had replaced the kittypet Fireheart had become so fond of in the past few moons that she'd joined the camp.
Airslash walked up to them later on as they were sharing a shrew. Sandstorm noticed him first.
"Hey Airslash," she smiled up to him but when he merely glanced in her direction she switched her gaze to her paws and concentrating on her piece of leg she'd broken off. Fireheart, sensing her unease, glanced up at the black and white warrior, "What do you want?"
If the kittypet was surprised at finally being acknowledged by Fireheart, he didn't show it. "Congratulations, Fireheart, on breaking my sisters heart." And he disappeared inside of the warriors den.
