Hope- A Warriors Fanfiction (Unedited)

4. Confessions

I was so tired: it had been another restless day of work caring for the toms. I had learned to ignore their sick chants and just do my duties. However, I just couldn't take my eyes of Mistfall, the only nice tom. I didn't understand why he was nice to me. That day, he'd actually given me his prey and told me to feed the she-cats. This may sound normal but here, that's very rare.

I'd asked Pebblepaw and Cloudpaw if they knew why but they just said he wanted my kits. I didn't believe them. I knew there was something more hidden in his eyes.

I trudged to my nest and began to drift off...

"Hopepaw! Duties now!" I jerked awake. It was Rockfur and Shadepaw. I glanced up at Shadepaw , who was almost fully grown, but he looked away awkwardly. Why was he like this?! He was my brother for Starclans sake! Reluctantly, I heaved myself out of my den to do my duties. I could here Rockfur talking to Shadepaw behind me.

"Shadepaw, you must learn to treat all she-cats like I do. They are just worthless kit bringers."

"Yes Rockfur I will."

"Good."

I scampered quickly and quietly through the tom camp and out through the exit. Pebblepaw and Cloudpaw were waiting for me.

"There you are! We thought you were dead or something!" Squealed Pebblepaw. I let out a mew of laughter .

"Well I'm here now right?" I said, a hint of amusement in my meow. We trekked through the dense undergrowth to our herb garden.

To my surprise, Mistfall was there. He looked nervous.

"Hey we're apprentices! You can't mate with us !" Shouted Cloudpaw. Mistfall seemed to flinch at the comment.

"I don't want to rape you..." He turned his nervous gaze to me. "I know it has probably been many season's since a tom has said this but , I love you. I love you Hopepaw."

I was shocked. My suspicions had been right all along! He loved me! This was one of the happiest moments of my life, realizing I was loved by someone other than a she-cat.

"Wow..." whispered Pebblepaw. We stared at us in awe. Cloudpaw took a step forward.

"Hopepaw don't listen to him he just wants your kits,"

I saw Mistfall walk to me. He looked at me with loving eyes.

"From the moment I set eyes on you, I fell in love. You're the most beautiful cat I've ever met and I promise to help you get equal rights for she-cats." I smiled at him. He was so sweet and I was so glad he would help us get equal rights. I leaned over to him and rubbed my muzzle against his flank.

"Good." I purred softly. Pebblepaw and Cloudpaw sat watching us as if they'd seen mice fly. It was as quite funny actually.

A quarter moon later...

Mistfall and I were officially mates but Cloudpaw and Pebblepaw were the only other cats that know about it. I hated how we had to keep our love a secret.

Suddenly, I felt something moving in my stomach. StarClan no...I'm just an apprentice...
