Icehearts tragedy

His confession

Acorn looked at me with a faint smile on his face. He moved a bit closer to me. “Ice heart I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Please tell me you like me back.” I was completely shocked. I had never known that Acorn liked me like that. “I- I'm so sorry Acorn. But I don't like you back. My heart belongs to someone else.” I felt bad for saying that. I didn't wanna hurt his feelings, but it was the truth. I looked back at Acorn and he looked very upset. “Acorn I-” I got cut off because Acorn began to yell. “I've done so much for you! When you got exiled, who was there to give you shelter? Me! I gave you food and warmth! The least you can do is tell me you love me!” He growled. I felt bad but I didn't wanna lie to him and tell him I loved him. “At least tell me who this cat you like is!” He demanded. “Ok fine i will tell you. It’s Amber claw” I looked down at the hard ground not wanting to make eye contact with him. I heard a small growl come from him. “Leave.” I heard him say loudly. “What but Amber claw is hu-” “Leave” I heard him growl louder. “But where will we go?” I said while staring at him in disbelief. “I don't know, and I don't care. But you both need to leave now.” I was shocked. I didn't mean to hurt him this bad. But I sorta felt he was overreacting.

I slowly got up and walked into the barn to get Amber claw. Amber claw was still asleep but I began to tap her to wake her up. “Mmm.What is it…?” Amber claw groaned. “Amber claw, we have to leave the barn.” She then had her eyes wide open this time. “Huh? What why!?” She seemed completely shocked at this news. “Acorn doesn't want us here anymore.”  She looked upset.  “Oh..Alright..” She slowly got up. Her shoulder was still badly wounded. She grunted with every step she took. As we exited the barn I saw Acorn next to the entrance. I glared at him as I walked past. A few moments after we left it began to rain. I let Amber claw lean onto me so she could walk a bit better. We went to a small part of the forest and lay under a large bush. Amber claw lay down and I curled up next to her and licked her on the ear. I was scared. I didn't know if we were going to survive, since now we don't have a place to stay.
