(Warrior cat series) Painted Hearts

Painted Hearts (4)

Her eyelids fluttered open. Screampaw's violet eyes narrowed on Birdpaw who was sprawled out next to her, his tail wrapped around her haunches. She gasped and sat up, her ears hot with embarrassment . Birdpaw lay unmoving, his steady breathing told her he was still asleep. She flattened her ears and scrambled to her paws and backed away. Screampaw sprinted away from Birdpaw, confused and puzzled. What would the clan think? Oh god. Gossip spreads faster than the speed of light in Thunderclan and she definitely wasn't excited for that. She ran past the Elm tree and memories flashed through her mind. She growled and ran faster until she got to the river. Swanfeather, jumpingfoot, and Weaseleyes waded across the water to meet her.
Weaseleyes growled "Where have you been"! She snapped. At that moment Birdpaw burst through the ferns and stared at the patrol of cats.
Swanfeather snickered "So, you've been with him all night, hmm"?
Screampaw blushed, her ears red "Well, er".
"Uh, yes she has" Birdpaw mewed awkwardly.
Weaseleyes smirked "Well, try explaining that to Whisperstar" She padded off, the rest of the cats following at her heals. Birdpaw and Screampaw were silent the rest of the way.

Weaseleyes, Jumpingfoot and Swanfeather padded through the camp entrance with Birdpaw and Screampaw close behind. Grins spread across most of the cat's muzzles as they watched the apprentices pad into camp.
Firefly rushed up to meet her daughter "What am I going to do with you, first you're sister, now you? Pfft next it will be Turtlepaw" Then her gaze shifted to Birdpaw as he was apologizing to Jumpingfoot "Oh, you were with him" She raised an eyebrow and grinned "He is quite handsome if I do say so myself".
Screampaw's eyes widened "No"! She snapped "We're just friends".
"Do friends sneak off and spend the night together"? Firefly purred. Screampaw didn't answer just stomped off angrily.
