"Pouncer stop daydreaming!" Zeldastar barked. Pouncer snapped his head up and started apologetically at his leader.

"My apologies Zeldastar, "he said bowing his head. Flicking her tail in annoyance, she exhaled slowly.

"Come in my den now, please," she said, trying to maintain a calm voice. Pouncer nodded and followed her into her den. She sat in her nest and Pouncer sat in front of her. "Listen I know this tunnel isn't the greatest, but we're stuck here until we can take Terror down, and that won't be for maybe a few seasons."

Pouncer nodded and swallowed. "Excuse me, but where is this leading to?" She narrowed her eyes and kept her patience.

"Because I know you've been sneaking out." Pouncer tensed, but smoothed his fur down. "You need to get out of your loner style, and help this clan," she hissed. Pouncer's fur prickled in annoyance. "But it's fine, I just need you to prove that your in. So, with that, you will be included in very patrol everyday, and will at least bring one piece of prey to the tunnel everyday."

Pouncer sat there bewildered. "But Zeldastar!" She silenced him with the death glare.

"HUSH! My word is final, I would suggest you start now," she said, narrowing her eyes. Pouncer hissed in annoyance but nodded and smiled. He left her den, swearing under his breath. Ugh, well better join the hunting patrol now.

"Iceheart! Wolftail told me you were organizing a hunting patrol," Pouncer said.

"Yeah of course, come on we're leaving now." He said.

"Who's coming?" Pouncer asked. Iceheart smiled and pointed at Grayfur, Waterstar, Poolpaw, and Regnantstorm. "Ah ok, good bunch," Pouncer smiled. Iceheart returned the smiled and set off.

"Hey Pouncer!" Regnantstorm called. Pouncer turned around to see the light gray tom bound up to him.

"Oh hello! How are you and my daughter," ha asked, narrowing his eyes when he mentioned Moonfire. Regnantstorm blushed and shuffled his paws.

"We're. she's, err, we're great," he stuttered. Pouncer started at him, confused.

"Everything ok?" Regnantstorm nodded and smiled. "Ok, just be nice, anyone who messes with my daughter, messes with me," he threatened. Regnantstorm nodded, utterly terrified. Pouncer smiled and joked around with him some more. "How's Sunpaw?"

"She's great! I love her to bits, and she's a very fast learner according to Mudraven," Regnantstorm smiled. Pouncer nodded approvingly, and focused on hunting.

After a while, Pouncer managed to catch two thrushes, and a vole with Regnantstorm. "Good job!" He said happily. Regnantstorm nodded, jaws full of prey and feathers. On their way to camp, Pouncer kept thinking about Keeper. Does she still love me? Do I still love her? No, no I can't, I love Nightfall now. But does she still love me?

When he got to camp with the patrol, Pouncer ran to the nursery to check on Juniperfrost. He ran into his son on the way. Whiskershadow gave him a partially angry glare, before resulting in a pathetic stare.

"Whiskershadow I'm so sorry," Pouncer said, sorrow coating his voice.

"I-I, I-I'm sorry too," he said. Pounce smiled and nuzzled his son. "I shouldn't have been so mean, I was just upset about mom," he whimpered.

"Me too, but stay strong for our clan ok?" Whiskershadow nodded and even smiled at his father. He set off with Vitapool and Runningbreeze a few minutes later, and Pouncer made his way to the nursery.

Foxflame was snuggled up to her sister, cooing at the little kits. "Aren't they cute?!" She cried excitedly. Pouncer laughed and nodded.

"They're little angels. Well I came to check on you she-cats, I should get going though. Take care," he smiled.

"I'm always careful," Foxflame laughed. Pouncer smirked and walked out of the nursery, aching for his nest. When he got to his nest, he collapsed in exhaustion. Ugh I was so tired, but put on a straight face. Smiling, Pouncer soon fell asleep.

Switched a quick POV to Nightfall…

Nightfall ran into his den, anger and fear building up in her heart. He better be proud of me; this was the hardest task he's ever forced me to do. She walked into his den, a scowl forming on her lips. He smiled when he saw her.

"Hello love," he cooed.

"Hello boss," Nightfall spat.

"Now is that anyway to talk to me?"

"No Terror, my apologies," Nightfall said. Terror smiled his menacing smile and started playing with his paws.

"Have you been a good kitty and performed your tasks?" Nightfall choked back a snarl and smiled. "Because you remember our deal, am I correct?" Nightfall nodded.

"Yes Terror, Pouncer is in love with me I believe." Terror let out a happy giggled and danced around.

"MARVELOUS! I want him destroyed, but of course you already know that dearie," he hissed. Nightfall nodded. "GOOD! Now give your matey a little kissy," he cooed. Nightfall slowly walked up to Terror and licked his cheek, accidentally-on purpose- biting him a little. Ugh, only for my promise.

"Ah, is little Nighty a little salty?" Only he can call me Nighty.

"No boss, everything is perfect," she smiled. This kills me, yet somehow feels kind of ok. Smiling, Nightfall nuzzled her mate and got some prey.
