I stood there, and I just seemed to stare for quite a bit of some time. As I knew very well, as to just what it was that I was doing. As I knew as to just how wrong it was, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I smelt the nasty scent of the SkyClan cats. As it was that I was right on the edge of their border, none the less. As I knew that I did in fact not want to get caught what so ever, none the less.
As it was that I had in fact stood there for a little bit more time. That was when it was that I began to start to go on ahead. And I just began to speak to my self a little bit under my own breathe.
"Alright... Things are fine back at the camp... I've got this..." I did in fact just seem to say to my self. As it was that I just seemed to close my eyes for just a few moments time.
As it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that of course. I then did in fact also seem to start to go right on ahead. And I then began to begin to walk on over through the SkyClan land, at that.
As it was that I had done as such a thing like that of course. All that I could think about was my mate, at that. As I knew that she was still just a couple moons away from having the kits.
But I also knew that at the exact same time as well. That I needed to be there for her at all times. As it was that I then just began to speak to my self a little bit quietly.
"The two leg place... Just like we always do..." I did in fact just seem to say, none the less. As it was that I knew that she was in fact just as scared as it was that I happened to be.
As it was that I knew that she did in fact not want to get caught with this. As it was that I kind of wished that at times I had thought about this twice. Not as to the fact that it was that I had fallen in love with her of course.
But more just the fact that it was, that I had agreed with DustEyes. As to the fact that we could take over the forest, none the less. I felt like it might just be better for me to not be a leader, and to just live a happy life with her.
It was too late for all of that at this point how ever. As it was that I just simply did in fact just seem to shake my head a little bit. As it was that I also once again did in fact just seem to speak to my self a bit under my own breathe.
"It's too late to go back now..." I did in fact just seem to say. As it did in fact feel wrong, as to just what it was that I had just said to my self.
I kind of just seemed to simply dip my head a little bit low to the ground, none the less. As it was that I then did in fact also began to smell the scent of the Thunderclan cats. As I just realized that I was now at their border, all at the exact same time too.
I just seemed to stop my self for a second, all at once. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to feel stupid as I did so. As I just seemed to go on ahead and curse my self a bit out loud, all at once.
"What am I doing? I can't just stay here!" I did in fact seem to say. As it was that I knew that I didn't want to get caught my Thunderclan cats. But I knew for sure that I didn't want to get caught by SkyClan cats.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to realize that was the case. That was when it was that I quickly went across the borders. As it was that I just had to hope that there was no Thunderclan cats near by.
Which luckily enough for me, it didn't seem to be the case. As I just seemed to let out a soft sigh to my self. As it was that I then began to turn my head on over towards where it was that I knew to go next.
As it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that. That was when it was that I let out quite a bit of a rough sigh to my self. As I then did in fact go on ahead and speak to my self a bit quietly once again.
"Alright... The two leg place isn't too far away..." I did in fact just seem to say to my self, at that. As it was that I then once again seemed to simply just speed my self up.
As it was that I saw the two leg place not too far away. As it was through all of the rough forest, at that. As it was that it did in fact just seem to calm me down, at that.
As soon as it was that I was of course right up on it, all at once. As it was that I just seemed to close my eyes for just a few moments. Just before it was that I did in fact head on over in side the place, at that.
Just as it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that. That was when it was that I smelt the scent of her. As I once again just seemed to whisper a little bit to my self.
"The best scent one cat could ever ask for..." I seemed to say, as it was that I had a big smile on my face. Just as soon as it was that I had in fact said as to just what I had said.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to stand there and stare. As I then did in fact go on and also hear the voice of her, all at once. As it then did in fact just go on ahead and make me open my eyes.
Just as soon as it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that. That was when it was that I then began to start to look right at her. As it was that I then listened as to what it was that she had to say to me, all at the exact same time as well.
"What are you doing NettleStar?! Come on! We don't want to get caught!" She did in fact just seem to say to me, all at once. As it was that she had her eyes wide, just as soon as it was that she had said what she had said.
As it was clear that she was nodding for me to go in to the two leg place with her, at that. Which as much as it was that I felt like I didn't want to go in to another two leg place. I also kind of felt like I didn't have much of any other choice.
As it was that I then did in fact just seem to go on ahead and nod right back over to her. As it was that I also seemed to speak out loud to her. So that she could hear what I had to say to her, none the less.
"Alright... Sorry... I am coming!" I did in fact just seem to say. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to smile at what I had said. As I felt like I could not help but to be excited for just what it was that I was about to do.
Each and every day I was with her seemed to be a warmth and a light to my life. As I hated having to go back to my own clan every time. As I hated being away from her, never the less, at that.
I kind of felt a bit bad as to the fact that it was the case. As it was that I knew that I wanted to take care of the kits with her. But it sadly didn't seem like it would be the case, well for at least right  now.
As it was that I then did in fact just get my mind of off all of those thoughts. As I then began to start to hear her voice from in side. As it was that I focused, and I listened as to just what it was that she had to say, all at the exact same time as well.
"It scares me every time we do this NettleStar... I know that this isn't right... We are breaking the rules..." She did in fact just seem to say to me. As it was that she had her eyes wide, just as soon as it was that she had said what she had said to me.
I kind of felt like I could not help but to get a little bit upset. Not as to the fact that I was in fact at all angry at her just now. But more due to the fact that I was upset that we could in fact not be together, at that.
I then did in fact just seem to look right back at her. As it was that I then went on ahead, and I spoke back to her. As I knew she was listening as to just what it was that I had to say, all at the exact same time too.
"Screw the rules... Those are just some stupid stuff made by MoonStar... I want to be with you! I love you!" I went on and said to her. As it was that I had a very serious look on my face my self, at that.
As it was that I made sure that she knew that it was the case. As it was that I saw her eyes grow wide, just as soon as I had said what I had said to her. As it was that I was starting to get a little bit scared as to what she was about to say next.
As it was that I still just stared right back at her. She then did in fact go on ahead and speak back to me. As I then listened as to just what it was that she had to say to me in the very first place any ways.
"They weren't made by MoonStar... They were made by Starclan..." She said to me, at that. As it was that I kind of then did in fact just seem to gulp, all at once. Just as soon as it was that she had said as to just what it was that she had said to me.
At times, I wished that I could just be like DustEyes. And that I could just scoff at the idea that there was an after life for cats. But I knew that I had always known it to be the case, as I knew I had met them my self.
I had lost 2 lives, as they had in fact given me 7 more... I knew that they were in fact real with out a doubt. As it was that I then did in fact just seem to dip my head a bit low to the ground at the thought of that.
As it was that I had in fact done as such a thing like that as well. That was when it was that I also began to go and speak back to SummerStar. Knowing she was still listening as to what it was that I had to say to her, all at the exact same time too.
"I'm sorry SummerStar... I should have never agreed with DustEyes... I want to be with you..." I seemed to say to her, all at once. As it was that I felt like it was in fact the full truth, as to just what I had said.
As it was that I had said as to just what I had said to her. That was when it was that I then did in fact begin to start to hear her purr. As it did in fact seem to warm me up, as to the fact that I had heard such a thing.
She came a bit closer to me, as the both of us seemed to touch furs. As it was that I also just seemed to dip my head a little bit low to the ground. As I knew that a little bit of what I had said was in fact a lie.
I kind of gulped at the thought of it, none the less. As I did my best to try to clear out all of the rest of those other thoughts. As I suddenly heard SummerStar go on ahead and speak back to me.
"Maybe it isn't too late to change things for you NettleStar... Maybe you can stay here with me... We just won't be leaders any more... And that is fine with me..." She did in fact seem to say to me, all of the sudden.
As she had her eyes wide, as it was clear that she was serious. As it then did in fact just seem to make me gulp a bit, at that. As to the fact that it was that she had in fact said as to what she had said to me.
As it was that I knew that I did in fact not want to give away my role as a leader what so ever. As I knew that there were still a lot of cats who did in fact support me. As I knew that as much as it was that I did in fact love my mate, at that.
I also felt like it was just too hard for me to give up on my clan mates. As I just seemed to stare down low to the ground for a bit more time. As it was that I also then began to just start to speak back to her.
"I don't... I don't want to leave my clan behind... It is going to have to be a hard choice to make..." I did in fact just seem to say, all of the sudden. As it was that I did in fact have my eyes wide, just as soon as it was that I had in fact said what I had said.
As it was that she had in fact heard as to what I had said as well. I saw her then squint her eyes right back at me, all at once. As it was clear that it was not at all what it was that she had wanted to hear.
As it was that she just seemed to continue to do as such a thing like that of course. She also then began to start to go and speak back to me. As I then began to listen as to just what it was that she had to say, all at the exact same time as well.
"It's going to have to be a choice that you have to make NettleStar... I don't want my kits to grow up with out a father..." She did in fact just seem to say, all at once.
As it was that I did in fact just seem to stand there and stare. As it was that I did my best to act as calm as I felt like I possibly could. As I then did in fact go and hear some more paw steps from out side.
I jumped, as it was that I was a bit scared as to what it was. As I then did in fact just seem to see some fur come in to the room with us. As my eyes were in fact wide, just as soon as it was that I saw it was the case.
I saw that it was in fact SummerStar's friend, and trusted deputy. As it was in fact WingSide, as he also began to speak back to the both of us. As I then began to listen as to just what it was that the tom cat had to say, all at the exact same time too.
"So... SummerStar, this is your mate that you haven't told me about... I should've known..." He did in fact just seem to say. As it was clear that he was not at all happy with what it was that was going on.
As it was that I saw that he had his teeth out, at that. As he also had his claws out, just as soon as he had said what he had said. As I did my best to just try to keep my self as calm as I felt like I could.
As it was that this time, SummerStar was the one to dip her head a bit low to the ground. As it was that she also began to speak back to her deputy as well, at that. As we both then listened as to what ever it was that she had to say right now.
"Yes... Don't act like you didn't know all along WingSide... I just... I don't know if I'm ready to tell the clans yet..." She said to him, all at once. As it was that she once again had her eyes wide as soon as it was that she had in fact said what she had said.
As it was that I felt like now it was my time to get defensive over her. As I then did in fact just seem to step in the way of the front of the 2 cats. As it was that I hissed at the tom cat, just as I had done as such a thing like that.
The tom cat did in fact just seem to tilt his head a little bit at first. As it was that I seemed to also go on ahead and speak right back over to him. As he then did listen as to what it was that I had to say to him, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
"Yes... And are you going to do some thing about it? Because this is my mate, and I love her... I will fight for her life, and for our kits..." I did in fact just seem to say, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
As it was that I looked back at my mate for just a few moments. As it was clear that she was in fact happy with just what I had said. As it was that it once again seemed to make me feel better my self.
As it was that I just seemed to look right back to WingSide. I then just saw him roll his eyes right back at me, all of the sudden. As it was that I was a bit lost as to just why that was in fact the case, at that.
As it was that I had just seemed to stare at him still. I also began to hear him go and speak back to me. As I just did then listen as to what it was that the tom cat had to say back to me in the very first place any ways.
"Relax... I am not going to attack you or your mate... I am just lost as to how you are going to explain this to the other leaders... They hate you already..." He said to us both. As he squinted his eyes at both of us, just as soon as he had said what he had said.
As it was that he had in fact said it in that way. I kind of felt like I did in fact seem like things were better. But at the same time too, I also felt like he had a fair point on just what he had said as well.
As it was that his eyes were now wide, as he waited for our response. In which it was that SummerStar just seemed to speak back to him in a calm voice. As we both listened as to what it was that she had to say, all at the exact same time as well.
"I know... I am thinking I might resign from my role as leader... It clearly is not the job for me... I want NettleStar to do the same..." She did in fact just seem to say, all at once.
As it was that she seemed to look right back at me as well. As she waited to see how I was going to react as to just what she had said. Which I felt too blank in side to even think on just what she had said.
As it was that I just seemed to stare in to the darkness. That was when it was that WingSide seemed to speak back to her like before. As it was that I still did listen as to what it was that he had to say, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
"SummerStar... You are a great leader who cares deeply for her clan... I do not want that... And on the other hand... Do we really want DustEyes to be the leader of ShadowClan?" He did in fact just seem to say to her, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that it just then seemed to hit me as to what he had said. As it was that I then just seemed to look back at the tom cat. As I had a not so happy look on my face, as I did as such a thing like that.
As it was that I then just seemed to hiss back at the tom cat. As it was that he just seemed to jump back a little bit surprised by it at first. As it was that I also just seemed to go and speak back to him as well.
He had his eyes wide as I did as such a thing like that. As it was that it was in fact clear to me of course. That he was listening as to just what it was that I had to say to him, all at the exact same time too.
"DustEyes is not a bad cat... He isn't evil at all... He just has the wrong mind set, and the wrong way of doing things..." I said back to him. As it was that I did my best to try to stay calm, as I did in fact seem to defend my friend.
WingSide seemed to be a little bit lost as to what it was that I had said. As his eyes were in fact still wide, all at the exact same time as well. As he just then seemed to shake his head back to me for what ever reason.
As it was that I had seen him do as such a thing like that. He once again also just seemed to speak back to me. As I then listened as to what it was that he had to say, all at the exact same time as well, as that.
"Well if you really believe so... But what he did to OwlThroat sure did seem to be evil..."
