Ivypool's Heart || Warriors ✔

Chapter 14

"Ivypool."

Ivypool curls up in her nest more, trying to get to sleep. But the consistent prodding at her side isn't exactly letting her get any sleep.

"Ivypool, wake up."

Giving in to the prodding at her side, Ivypool sits up to find Blossomfall sitting next to her nest, a paw raised as if she's going to prod Ivypool once more if she doesn't get up.

"Blossomfall, what is it?" She whispers, glancing around to make sure there's no other cats awake right now listening in on their conversation.

"Nothing's wrong, Ivypool." Blossomfall assures her, before she sighs. "I just couldn't sleep."

At that, Ivypool gets out of her nest, and walks out of the den with Blossomfall following along behind her. There's no point in Ivypool trying to get back to sleep right now, and she's not going to just ignore Blossomfall when she can't sleep.

Sitting out in the clearing, Ivypool looks over to her side to find Blossomfall sitting right next to her so their pelts are brushing together. Thankfully the rest of the Clan are all asleep in their dens, aside from Lionblaze who's out on watch outside the camp entrance, so Ivypool and Blossomfall don't really need to worry about sitting too close together. But even so, Ivypool doesn't quite want to risk it.

"Do you want to go for a walk out in the forest?" She asks, looking over at Blossomfall, who nods quickly.

Both she-cats stand up, and head for the thorn tunnel entrance, deciding not to sneak out of camp. They can just explain to Lionblaze that they can't sleep and are just going out for some night hunting, which is partly telling the truth. They can always get some hunting in before they return to camp.

After passing Lionblaze outside the camp entrance, telling him that they're going out for a bit of night hunting since they're both having trouble sleeping, they make their way out to the lake. It should be nice and quiet for them there to just sit together, and watch the small waves crash against the sand and pebbles round the lake.

"It's so nice and quiet out here at night." Blossomfall sighs, laying down on the grass once they reach the lake shore, with Ivypool laying next to her.

"It is." Ivypool agrees, resting her head on her paws and closing her eyes as she listens to the lapping of the water against the stones. "It's so peaceful."

Blossomfall just purrs in agreement, and Ivypool rolls onto her back, staring up at the stars. All the stars are shining bright tonight, and Ivypool can't help but wonder if StarClan is watching both her and Blossomfall right now. If they are, what are they feeling towards the two of them being mates? Do they approve, or are they against it?

Ivypool suspects that the fact they haven't given any sign about it just yet means that they don't care, or they don't even know about it. Or they're possibly waiting for the right time to intervene. Ivypool definitely hopes that StarClan isn't mad about her and Blossomfall.

Rolling over again, Ivypool looks over at Blossomfall, who's just staring out towards the lake. Please StarClan. Ivypool thinks. Please don't be mad about Blossomfall and I's love for each other.

Movement in the trees behind them causes both Ivypool and Blossomfall to jump and spin around looking through the trees. The both of them alert, and nervous about whoever it is that seems to have followed them. Unless it was just a mouse, and they're being paranoid over nothing. But the fresh ThunderClan scent tells them otherwise.

Though as a small white cat slowly makes his way through the trees and over to them, Ivypool relaxes slightly.

Snowpaw!
