Ok, so I apologize for reviews because they're not showing up. Hopefully they do soon, but I can still check on my email. Your reviews don't go unnoticed J. Also, this chapter will be written in Foxflame's POV, and this is Fox's prize! Hope you like it Foxy! SOOO, CIAO ASHES! –Majesty

Foxflame was rushing through a dark and shady forest, heart hammering in her chest. "You used to love me! What happened!" A voice wailed in her ear. She snapped her head back, eyes blurry with tears.

"I love Wolftail! Leave me alone Terror," she cried. His form advanced her, red eyes pleading.

"Why don't you love me anymore, you made me like this Foxy," he wailed. Foxflame backed up till she hit a tree.

"I-I didn't mean to! I-I love Wolftail! I-I'm sorry," she whimpered. Suddenly the gray cat leaped at her, eyes blazing with anger and hurt.

"Love me!" The flame point queen jolted up, pelt sticky and eyes wild. It was all a dream… Relaxing, she lowered her head onto her ginger paws. Gently closing her eyes, the words love me, kept echoing in her head. I'm so sorry…

Foxflame drowsily opened her eyes to see her sister's violet eyes boring into her clover-green ones. "Are you ok? You were crying out! I could you from the warrior's den, Wolftail wanted to get you but Zeldastar sent him hunting. At least leaf-bare is nearing an end. Also! Fluffy and Snowy are becoming warriors soon, from what I hear," she chatted. Foxflame smiled as her sister kept ranting, and ranting…and ranting.

"Juniperfrost, as much as I would love to hear you gossip, I have to take care of something. Watch the kits with Moonfire," she called over her shoulder as she headed for the entrance of the tunnel. Juniperfrost shrugged and nodded.

Whiskershadow and Vitapool were near the entrance sharing tongues as Foxflame neared them. The black cat instantly bounded to his paws and nuzzled the queen. "I know where you're going. Be safe," he whispered, voice cracking. Foxflame nodded, her own tears stinging.

"I will my little kitten." She looked over to Vitapool, who gave her a soft smiled. Whiskershadow looked flustered. "It's alright kitten, she's lovely. Not as good as my daughter, but good enough for my kitten," she smiled. Her basically son nuzzled her and purred. He mouthed thank you and hurried back to his mate.

Foxflame passed Daisypaw and her mentor, Lightningfall, when she padded into the lush forest. She's so much like Daisymist, everything about her. Swallowing the sadness, she made her way to the old camp.

They stole our home from us, our home. As the queen neared the entrance, she recognized Canine, and he yowled and pinned her down. "Why are you here? You're Foxflame aren't you! Terror occasionally mumbles about you…YOU RUINED HIM!" Foxflame winced as his sharp, white fangs glistened.

"I-I'm sorry. I'm here to tell him that." Suddenly the tom himself excited what was supposed to be Zeldastar's den, eye's widening when he saw her.

"Y-You," he whispered, barely heard with the suddenly billowing winds. "Canine release her," he ordered.

"What? But- "

"I SAID RELEASE HER!" He yowled. The black and white cat snarled but released her, kicking her intentionally, which made Terror tense. "Don't touch her. Ever," he snarled. Canine soon left, a heartbroken look on his face. W-What?

"Foxflame, meet me in my den." Suddenly a black she-cat came rushing into the camp, eyes suddenly wide when she saw Terror lead Foxflame to the den.

"Why?" A silver she-cat led her away, whispering something. Foxflame shook out her white pelt. This is so weird! Terror sat in his nest, Foxflame only a fox-length away.

"Why did you come here?"

"Closure. I had a dream, you said I made you…mean," she whispered. His eyes hardened.

"When you chose Wolftail, my heart blackened. I left, made my group. And now I'm stronger than ever. Do you still choose Wolftail?" he hissed. Foxflame nodded instantly. Terror scowled. "Not like I've missed you, I have Nightfall!"

Suddenly he lifted his nose. "Why do you smell like kit?"

"Because I had my second litter…with Wolftail," she said quietly. Terror let out a choked wail and looked away. "I-I'm sorry…"

"Get out."

"What?"

"I SAID GET OUT! THIS IS MY HOME AND YOU WILL NOT TAIN IT WITH YOURSELF! LEAVE OR DIE!" He screeched. Foxflame scrabbled on her paws and started to run. When she exited his den, a strong pair of jaws caught her scruff and pulled her into a secure bramble bush. She tried to scream, but a fluffy tail entered her jaws.

"Quiet! My name is Nightfall, and I'll help you," she hissed. Nightfall? Terror's new mate? The queen nodded, fear squirming in her belly. Once the clearing settled down, nightfall turned to face her, deep blue eyes stern. "I know you used to be his mate, I don't hold a grudge though. Listen, I-" her sentence was cut off be Canine reaching into the bramble bush and dragging Foxflame out.

"Don't move or make a sound," he growled. Canine dragged her all the way to the entrance, where he steadily helped her to his paws. "Listen, I love Terror. You had everything I wanted," he wailed. "Leave. Never, ever come back!" He whispered the last word. Foxflame nodded hazily and soon padded home, dread weighing her down.

What wonderful closure! Now he wants to murder me even more! UGH! When she entered the tunnel, Wolftail rushed and embraced her. "Where have you been?!"

"I-I'm sorry, I-I wanted c-c-closure," she whimpered, tears falling down her cheeks. She felt Wolftail tense, but he lapped her snow-white fur.

"It's ok," the gray tabby whispered, voice cracking.

"I'm so sorry," she wailed.

"Shh, I forgive you…" Foxflame felt comforted by his gentle words, love filled her heart for Wolftail.

"I love you," she whispered, green eyes filled with love. He smiled, blue eyes twinkling.

"I love you too, never leave again," Wolftail said quietly.

"Never…"
