Ashfur was in the forest weeping. Whispering as to how much he hated Squirrelfight. Even more as to how much he hated himself. He took his left paw and slashed his right arm with his claws. Blood shed. He cried more.

"I hate you! I hate you, I hate you!" he told himself, "Why do you have to be like this? StarClan... WHY?!"

"Ashfur?" a familiar voice sounded in the bushes.

Ashfur gasped in shock, "Wh-who's there?"

"It's me, Squirrelflight! Are you okay?" she dared not to show her face. But instead stayed behind the bushes.

"Go away! I don't need you! I don't need any of you!" Ashfur felt horrible saying that. But he knew it was true. Was Squirrelflight listening to him talk to himself the whole time?

"Ashfur, please..." Squirrelflight begged, "Wake up."

"I can't wake up!" Ashfur called back.

"Wake up! Ashfur!" Squirreflight called again.

"NO!" Ashfur yelled.

Just then he felt a paw jab at his side. He immediately jumped to his paws. "Wh-what?" Ashfur looked around, "Where am I?"

"I've been calling your name, mouse-brain! Stop daydreaming!" Squirrelflight said aggravated, "You're in camp and it's time to wake up!"

Ashfur's eyes widened, "uh... O-oh... Right."

"Wake up..." it rang in his ears like a bell. He didn't know why or what it meant. But it stuck with him for the rest of the day.

Ashfur was helping Jayfeather collect herbs for the medicine supply den. He felt his heart tugging at him hard. He wanted to talk to Squirrelflight, but still felt embarrassed about this morning. She was that type of she-cat that could make your heart melt, but also tug at your heart strings.

Ashfur spotted Squirrelflight outside, hanging around that ugly looking tom. Yes, preferring to Brambleclaw. Ashfur couldn't help but feel his fur get into a knot whenever he saw Brambleclaw. He hated him so much!

"If only there was some way I could get rid of him! Then Squirrelflight would be mine!" he thought to himself.

"HEY!" Jayfeather called, snapping Ashfur back to reality, "Stop daydreaming and help me!"

"S-sorry, Jay!" Ashfur apologized.

Jayfeather sighed. He continued to stack herbs with Ashfur until they could stack no more. Jayfeather laid a tail on Ashfurs shoulder, "Good job. You can be done."

Ashfur smiled. He felt happy that he was being praised for his good doing. But his smile was soon wiped off by spotting Squirrelflight again. He thanked Jayfeather and padded out of the den.

Ashfur nervously walked over to her, "H-Hey, S-Squirrelflight..." he stuttered.

"Oh, hey Ashy!" Squirrelflight smiled and responded. Ashfur loved it when she called him that.

"How has your day been?" he felt the confidence coming back to him.

"Pretty good! Brambleclaw and I-"

Ashfur squinted and growled, "Oh, enough about him already!" he yelled, interrupting Squirrelflight.

"What?" Squirrelflight was shocked and confused.

"I've had enough of you and Brambleclaw," he made a cheeky mocking sound as if it were a disgrace to even say them in a sentence together.
