Separated (Scourge x Cinderpelt)

Chapter 14

Firestar POV

I padded anxiously  back and forth in my den.

Starclan, where is Cinderpelt?

I sigh, biting my lips together. My legs wher yelling for me to sit down, pacing around alnight.

Where can Cinderpelt be?

Obviously not in camp.
Or, for that matter not anywhere in thunderclan territory.

I go through the things I had kept telling myself this past hour. I could never get it out of my mind.

"Hey, you seem tired" Murmurs a soft voice from the entrance of my den.

"Sandstorm, where is Cinderpelt?" I burst out, ignoring sandstorms concern.

I was a clan leader. Sleep would come later.

I feel a soft tail curl around me.

"Firestar, you should get some sleep. Really"

"What about Cinderpelt?" I ask, trying to keep calm. And, oh, that was hard.

"You can try to find her tomorrow, when it's actually sunny outside, instead of in pitch black darkness." There was a pause.

"Tomorrow she might be dead!" I argue.

"Firestar, she knows how to take care of herself. She'll come back tomorrow. Hopefully"

I give in.

"Fine... I'll get some sleep"

Sandstorm smiled. "Well.... you better not be pacing around after I leave."

I laugh a little.

I close my eyes, and my paws stop screaming. The soft sound of pawsteps tells me that sandstorm left.

I close my eyes.I would worry tomorrow. I probably didn't need to worry anyways, cinderpelt would show up. She was responsible and trustworthy.

My anxiety fades, and sleep overtakes me.

Scourges POV

I curl closer to Cinderpelt, liking there warmth. She snuggles closer to me, too.

It's dawn, but I don't care.We could sleep a little more.....

I jolt up, remembering thunderclan. They would surely be worrying about her!

"Cinderpelt" I gently nudge her. She groans, but opens a eye.

"Hmm?"

"Do your clan mates know your are here?" I ask, already knowing the answer.

Cinderpelt blinks once of twice, then opens her eyes and jumps up.

"Well, I guess I have to go now." She sits up, and quickly grooms herself.

"I guess I'll see you tonight......." I say, my voice faltering.

Cinderpelts nods, as if remembering something, mutters a few angry words under her breath.

I didn't know what she said, but I caught "Tell me tonight"

I lick her generously and she does too.

So much for a close love.

I close my eyes, and I guess Cinderpelt took that as her cue to go. She padded out, eying me sorrily.

Once she got out of the den, I opened my eyes again.

Firestar better not exile her

Cinderpelts POV

What will I say to my clan mates?

They probably already sent out multiple patrols to look for me!

I wouldn't be surprised if he forces the truth out of me.

I take a deep breath, and continue walking through the filtering dawn light.

I would take any punishment put upon me.

Because it was fair.

A/N
I managed to put in a longer chapter, did I? Well, I guess that's what happens when you're writing while the teacher is talking.;-;

Soooo I think I should have a celebration party or something, cause I haven't seen dovewing OR tigerpaw anytime this week. woo-hoo!Who's with me? Wait.....

*checks the starclan cat tracking list*

Oh, they went to the future and now evil tigerpaw is ruling the clans. What can I do? Nothing, really. Ah, I was really hoping we could celebrate. I hope they don't show up anymore.

Well, that's all I have to say. Have a great day!
