Chapter 14

Ok so! So of you may/or may have different feeling about MC's reaction to Regnantstorm's reaction last chapter, but oh well! So you guys know the drill, who is chapter 15's POV! I give you three choices! 1. Zeldablaze, 2. Terror, or 3. Moonfire! OH OH OH! And I don't mean to be snappy at all, but I'm going to try and write 15 tonight, and it would be awesome if you guys tell me today, but if not tomorrow it is! But yeah, ciao babes!

Pouncer woke up to Moonfire wailing at the top of her lungs. He left, he really left. Pouncer ran to his daughter, wrapping his gray body around her black and white body. Moonfire was shaking with sobs. "He left! He left us!" Moonfire wailed. Pouncer licked her cheek, rubbing her back with his tail. He noticed Sunpaw sneak out of camp, but was to occupied to notice. Sh'e sportily hunting, she has her own way of hunting, bless her.

Skyflower, appearing at his side, quickly ushered her father away. "Moonfire, it's okay," She whispered. "He loves you. Regnantstorm only wanted to be with his sister, it's okay..." She whispered gently into her sister's ear. Moonfire leaned on her sister's shoulder, sobbing her heart out.

Pouncer swallowed the lump forming in his throat. She's broken, she's utterly broken. Pouncer bounded over to Whiskershadow, who was hiding away in the makeshift medicine cat den. "Why are you hiding?" Pouncer asked his son. Whiskershadow puffed out his fur, surprised.

"I-I don't know how to react," He said awkwardly. Pounce stifled his purr of amusement, and nuzzled his son. Whiskershadow leaned on his father's shoulder, sighing. "She's broken, more broken then I was when Daisymist died," He grimaced. Pouncer felt as if he was being watched, and looked behind his should to see Vitapool.

Whiskershadow noticed her, too, and soon looked like a monster was rushing towards him. "V-Vitapool, y-you know I love you." He whispered. Vitapool smiled sadly and started at the empty space to her right.

"I'm sure he loves me," She whispered, and then turned her head. "But what if he loves Daisymist more?" Whiskershadow cried out, running to her, but Vitapool shuddered away. "You're right, I should give him space," She said to the space, before dashing away. Whiskershadow bolted after her.

"Vitapool come back! I love you!" Pouncer sighed. Our clan is falling apart! Pouncer raced out of camp, escaping the drama, hoping to find Nightfall. I need her so badly right now! Rushing through the twisting tress, the rushing wind causing his tail to stream out behind him.

"Nightfall?" He called. I haven't seen her in a while, i-is she mad at me? He ran past the great willow tree where Nightfall loved, and saw her sleeping up in the soft branches. Smiling, Pouncer scrambled up the trunk and landed next to her.

Nightfall stirred, but soon fell back asleep. Pouncer smiling and leaned down to her ear and blew on the soft tuffs of fur, making her flick them in annoyance. "My love, wake up," He whispered.

"Let me sleep," She huffed, stretching her limbs. Pouncer laughed quietly and licked her cheek. She opened her two beautiful eyes and smiled, jumping onto Pouncer. "Pouncer!" She cried, all tiredness gone.

Her impact forced both of them to fall onto the soft earth in a fit of laughter. Pouncer snuggled her and breathed in her sweet scent, eyes widening when he thought he could smell Terror on her fur. No, no it's not true. Terror roams these woods too; her fur must have caught onto something he's marked. Pouncer pushed the bad thoughts away as he cuddled Nightfall.

"I've missed you," Ne smiled. Nightfall nodded and nuzzled his cheek.

"Me too! I'm sorry I've been absent too, my mother fell ill and I was taking care of her," She smiled, twitching her ears uncomfortably. "But let's not talk about it, I want to hear about you and Memoryclan!" She giggled, running her tail over his fur.

Pouncer sighed. "My daughter's mate left to find his sister, and my son is now having complications with his mate," He sighed, exasperated. Nightfall frowned.

"At least we're doing well," She smiled, a quiver in her voice. Pouncer nodded. "I have an idea! Let's race to the stream!" She exclaimed suddenly.

"Okay! But you're warned-" Nightfall started running to the stream, cutting Pouncer off. "You cheater!" He called, racing after her. They raced for a while, until Nightfall won. "You…cheated," He gasped, out of breath.

Nightfall flicked her ears, smiling. "So? You cheat at everything else!" She giggled. Pouncer sighed and took a deep breath, until Nightfall pushed him into the river. Pouncer's head broke the surface, sputtering water out, glaring at Nightfall.

"You're so dead!" He screeched, jumping out of the river. Nightfall squealed and started running away. "Come back here Nighty!" he ran after her.

Nightfall giggled as Pouncer tackled her, play-biting her paws and ears. He started into her eyes, smiling. "You're so beautiful," He swooned. Nightfall blinked and blushed. "I love you."

"I love you too," He whispered sweetly. "I want to spend my life with you," She smiled, but then looked away, wiggling away from him.

Pouncer fidgeted with his paws and hen decided to make a bod move. He leapt onto Nightfall pinning her down, a determined look in his eyes. "Join my clan! Join us, Wolftail will happily welcome you, he's the nicest tom ever-" Nightfall cut him off by placing her tail over his mouth.

"I-I can't!" She cried. Pouncer staggered back as if Nightfall had slashed him. Nightfall noticed, and her gaze softened. "I'm sorry Pouncer, I can't."

"Why?! We love each other, a-are you leaving me?" Just like Keeper…

"What?! No! Never! I-I just need to take care of my family, alone. Hopefully in the future I'll live with you," She smiled softly. Pouncer nodded, and turned away before his disappointment would show.

"Y-yes of course my love," He said sadly. "I-I have to go back to the tunnel, see Juniperfrost and her kits." He smiled sadly, turning away. Nightfall jumped in front of him, blocking his path.

"Pouncer I love you, don't forget," She smiled, licking his cheek. Nightfall bounded away into the forest. Pouncer felt his sadness melt away as he neared camp. Nightfall loves me, she's just taking care of her family! Smiling, Pouncer made his way to the nursery where Grayfur was snuggled up with Juniperfrost, and Foxflame was playing with the kits. Her belly was growing beiger everyday. Pounce snickered and nuzzled Fogkit.

"Go give your daddy a nip on the ear, to wake him up," Pouncer winked. Fogkit blinked twice, their secret message system, and whispered the mission to his litter-mates.

"March, march, march!" Fogkit whispered, sneaking behind Grayfur with his litter-mates. Pouncer ran out of the nursery before it got any worse.

"Good luck kits!" He laughed.
