: This is finally going somewhere! :

Brambleclaw padded out of the warriors den.
Firestar walked over to him. “Good morning Brambleclaw.”
Brambleclaw dipped his head respectfully. “Good morning.”
“I have a task for you today. I want you to take Hollyleaf and Ashfur out on a patrol. Just to see how it goes.” Firestar instructed.
Brambleclaw nodded. Not so sure that would be a good idea.
He headed over to Hollyleaf. “Hollyleaf, Firestar asked me to take you and Ashfur on a patrol.”
Hollyleaf let out a growl. “Seriously? Why?”
Brambleclaw sighed. “Im not sure.”
Hollyleaf fluffed out her fur in irritation. “Well if he tries anything he won't have time to regret it.” she growled ominously.
Brambleclaw nodded and went over to Ashfur.
Ashfur abruptly looked away from him, his fur ruffling in embarrassment.
“Ashfur, Firestar wants you and Hollyleaf to come on patrol with me.” Brambleclaw informed him.
Ashfur’s gaze lit with outrage. “Why?” he hissed.
Brambleclaw shrugged. “I don't know.”
Ashfur huffed, but followed Brambleclaw back to where Hollyleaf was waiting.
Hollyleaf and Ashfur hissed at each other, like petty apprentices.
Brambleclaw sighed. This was going to be a headache.
The three cats headed out of camp, strangely Ashfur, stayed close to Hollyleaf. But only because Brambleclaw stayed close to Hollyleaf.
That is. . . Not something I was expecting. Brambleclaw blinked.
Hollyleaf and Ashfur just kept hissing at each other. Brambleclaw stepped in between of them. “Knock it off.” he snapped.
Hollyleaf flicked her tail. “Fine! But I'm not the one who couldn't handle rejection!”
Ashfur snarled. “At least I didn't do any real damage!”
Brambleclaw sighed.
“Are you kidding me?! Of course you did! I found out my parents weren't my real parents after some immature phyco tried to kill me! What do you think that did to me?!” Hollyleaf snapped, her gaze flaring with hatred.
“Youre not special! I had to bury my mother! And I almost died defending ThunderClan from a dog attack! What have you ever done?!” Ashfur snarled in response.
“Oh so that gives you the right to try to kill cats?! You need to grow up! You're so upset just because Squirrelflight rejected you! Well she isn't going to get with you! Deal with it you fox-heart!” Hollyleaf shot back.
“Who cares about Squirrelflight?! Like I give a mouse-tail about her! Why I bother padding after Squirrelflight when there is a perfectly good choice like-” Ashfur snapped his jaws shut. He looked shocked by his own words. Utter confusion on his face.
Hollyleaf and Brambleclaw stared at him. Hollyleaf looked more suspicious than anything. But Brambleclaw, Brambleclaw was just thoughtful.
Who's name was Ashfur about to say?
Is it possible. . . He was about to say my name? The thought seemed to far from the truth to be true. So Brambleclaw dismissed it.
The patrol was finished in a tense silence.
Ashfur was cursing himself under his breath, and he fell an uncharacteristic amount of times.
Brambleclaw just watched him. Not sure how to feel.
