Chapter 4

Ok so I was feeling way to inspired to not do another chapter tonight! And I've made the decision to do the whole book in Pouncer's POV, because I love him. But every 5 chapters, you guys can vote about what special POV I use for that chapter. If you're unhappy about Pouncer being the main POV, guess what? I DON'T CARE! Because I love Pouncer, and besides you guys get to vote every 5 chapters on the POV, starting tomorrow. Also I'm completely free tomorrow so expect a lot of chapters! Also don't hate me, but I ship Pouncefall, but not as much as Starpounce XD –Majesty out!

"Come on Pouncer, play with me." Nightfall purred.

Pouncer ran to her and tackled her, nuzzling her. "I love you, Keeper." He purred. With that, he watched as Nightfall transformed into Keeper. Her dark blue eyes filled with emptiness and nothingness.

"You said you loved me!" Keeper cried. Pouncer started at her in surprise and started running away. He soon bumped into Nightfall.

"What about us Pouncer? I-I thought we were special?" Her eyes were pleading, yet had a secret passionate spark in them.

"Leave me alone! I-I can't decide!" Pouncer cried.

...

Pouncer woke up with a jolt. It had been two days since Keeper left. The night after he had met with Nightfall, Pouncer had even found a feather from Keeper's wing and tucked it into his nest. A promise, Keeper, for I will never stop loving you, but I will find my happiness. Ever since, Pouncer had snuck out and met Nightfall and play with her. She had even begun helping him with training and hunting.

I love Keeper so much, but am I getting feelings for Nightfall? Pouncer shook his pelt and walked over to where Cinderblaze was sitting with Iceheart. "Hey baby sis!" She looked back and when she noticed her brother she smiled.

"Hey! I had a dream last night that I was in Starclan, and all the new cats that go to Starclan now stay there and can't join us! W-We closed the barrier Pouncer! I think we're all staying with Memoryclan until we die again! Pouncer we've been given another life!" Cinderblaze bounced happy.

Pouncer smiled. "I know, Cinderblaze," Pouncer laughed. She nodded and nuzzled her big brother. "Yes it's all exciting, now shoo." He laughed. Cinderblaze nodded and ran away with Iceheart. Pouncer smirked and walked out of the tunnel, hoping to see Nightfall.

When he was out of earshot, Pouncer called for Nightfall. "Nightfall? Are you there?" No answer, not even a meow. Suddenly he saw Keeper face, her blank expression. He used to be able to see through her blank, expressionless stare… but he only saw emptiness.

"Turn around Pouncer, you love me remember?" Said her voice, a mere whisper in the wind.

"No! You left me, you don't love me." Pouncer snarled at the air. He started looking for Nightfall again.

"Pouncer you love me; you don't know her. Go home." Keeper urged. Pouncer clawed the air in a vain attempt to rid himself of the ghostly figure. GET OUT OF MY HEAD KEEPER OF THE STARRY NIGHT!

"Pouncer, please." Her voice pleaded.

"Stay away from me," He hissed. He could feel her ghostly figure next to his body, except with no body heat, no... nothing. "You're not real, you're not real!" Pouncer started running from the voice, still looking for Nightfall.

"Pouncer!" He turned around to see Nightfall standing on a rock, a happy expression on her face.

"Nightfall! I've been looking for you!" He cried running towards her. But then Keeper's from appeared in front of him once more.

"She's a stranger Pouncer. Turn. Around. Now." Keeper demanded. Enraged, Pouncer yowled and attacked the air.

"No! You don't love me you left me! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Pouncer screamed in the empty air, only to face terrified Nightfall.

"I-I'm so sorry Pouncer, I-I guess I-I'll go." She whimpered. Oh no!

Pouncer ran and tackled her, forcing both of them to roll down an elevated patch of soft grass. The finally landed and faced each other.

"I didn't yell at you, I-I was yelling at… my inner demons." He said. Nightfall nodded and nuzzled his soft gray neck fur. Pouncer's heart beat faster by the second as Nightfall licked all the messy strands of fur on his pelt.

"Pouncer I know we've just met, but I know my feelings for you are deep. I think I'm in love with you." She purred. Nightfall had snuggled close to Pouncer, their pelts so close it was as if they both had gray and black pelts.

"Nightfall, let me tell you a story," Pouncer said. After explaining his life and family history and everything that needed to be explained, Nightfall stared at him shocked. "I'm afraid to love you Nightfall, I do, but I'm afraid ok?"

She nodded and touched noses with him, intertwining their tails. "Fear is my new confident for you Pouncer. We love each other, and we both know it," she purred. Pouncer nodded and licked her cheek. "I love you Pouncer." she said.

"I-I love you too Nightfall," Pouncer said, wrapping Nightfall closer to his body, feeling more safe and uncertain than he ever had in his life. "I love you." He whispered. Keeper, I-I love you.

...

Pouncer had fallen asleep, and Nightfall was still sleeping next to him. Oh no! I have to go now, but I don't want to leave her…

He got up and splashed in the nearby puddle to disguise the scent. He grabbed the nearest flower, and placed it in Nightfall's paw. "I love you," He whispered. "I'll be back later, I promise."

Pouncer ran back home. When he got to the tunnel, though, he almost crashed into Whiskershadow. "You!" Whiskershadow spat like he had licked a rabbit dropping. "Come with me now." He hissed.

Pouncer nodded, and followed his son outside, under a tree.

"Whiskershadow, what's wrong?"

Whiskershadow narrowed his eyes and scowled.

"You know what you did, you… you… you deceiver!" Whiskershadow spat. He advanced on his father. "I-I saw you with her! You're supposed to stay loyal to mom!" Rage filled Pouncer.

"Stay loyal to her?! NO ONE WAS MORE LOYAL THAN ME! She left me Whiskershadow! She left me, so I can't be happy?! She's happy being alone, with me, without you and your sisters! Am I happy?! NO! I miss her like like I would miss air! Please be happy for me!" Pouncer snarled.

Whiskershadow scowled. "You're a selfish bastard! She loved you! She can't remember! If you loved her, you would have never gone to seen your pathetic wench of a she-cat!" Rage overpowered him, and Pouncer screamed.

"YOU WILL NOT CALL NIGHTFALL THAT! I LOVED KEEPER BUT SHE LEFT! WHISKERSHADOW, PLEASE!" Pouncer cried. Whiskershadow looked down at his father.

"You're not my father, my father would have chased after my mother, even when she left. Do us both the favor and stay away from me." Whiskershadow hissed.

Pouncer stared at his son, hurt and anger in his eyes as Whiskershadow ran back to camp. Pouncer hung his head in despair. "I'm sorry Whiskershadow, I'm so sorry," he wailed silently. Dragging his tail, Pouncer made his way back to camp.

GOD THE FEELS! As for the Starclan thing, yes all the Starclan cats that came to Memoryclan are alive and were given 2nd lives. As for new cats joining Starclan, they stay in Starclan now, and can not come back down. Starclan is 100% normal now. As for Daisymist? She died before the Starclan cats were granted their 2nd lives. They got their 2nd life when Zel became leader. So like Tallstripe, Daisymist is gone (R.I.P My babies) Also, tomrrow's chapter will actually be told in Keeper's POV because we need to see her right now. You guys get to choose the POV in chapter 10 I swear! –Majesty ALSO LET'S THANK KEEPER FOR EDITING THIS! WOO HOO!
