Warriors: A New Era (BOOK 2)

Chapter 6

[Bluesnow's POV]

I was asked to lead a border patrol. I looked through the warriors and picked Cheetahpelt, Reedeyes, Fireclaw, and Shadowwing. Nightmoon said that was enough people and I headed to the Mapleclan border. Maybe that's why Nightmoon and Spokenstar asked me to lead this patrol; however, I doubted that I would see Flamefur. I padded into the forest with Cheetahpelt next to me. I was leading so I was in the front. I picked Reedeyes to be in the back.

I kept walking, my pawsteps where light on the ground. I looked next to me and kept my ears perked just in case I could hear Flamefur.

"You probably won't hear her." Cheetahpelt whispered to me as we walked side by side.

"I know, but there is still a chance I will hear her, or just anyone from Mapleclan would be fine. They could at least tell me if they have seen her." I told him softly. I knew there was no hope but I had to hold onto something and that's what I was holding onto.

"Alright, let's just hurry up, I'm starting to get hungry." He chuckled. I rolled my eyes playfully. He was always hungry! "Hey!" He said and lifted his paw and pawed my nose.

"Great job mousebrain." I chuckle. We kept walking in since for a little. We soon got to the border and started to mark it.

"A-are you from Depthclan?" A small voice asked from behind a bush on the Mapleclan side. Thankfully it wasn't on our side or we would have another fight.

"Yes young one, we are from Depthclan. Why do you need to know that?" I asked softly stepping as close as I could without crossing the border.

"Are you Flamestar's siblings?" It asked and stepped out of the bush. It was Emberpaw. His dark ginger fur blended perfectly with the brown and black fur. I smile a little to him. I had a small crush on him but no one knew. Wait a second, he said Flamestar! Could they think Flamefur was their leader now?

"Emberpaw," I started off. I had to hold back the purr that was in my throat. "Did you say Flamestar?" I asked. I flicked my tail to tell Cheetahpelt to go ahead and take the patrol back.

"It's Embercloud now, it's nice to see you again too." He smiled. He had a warrior name! That means we could be mates! He stepped closer as I noticed that the patrol was gone. "And yes, I did say Flamestar. She is our leader for now until she finishes testing the other warriors to see if they should be the leader. She does not have her nine lives so don't worry." He purred a little.

"Alright, can I at least see her?" I asked. I wanted to see my sister. "Embercloud is a nice name too, much better then Bluesnow." I purred.

"Bluesnow, Bluesnow. That is a pretty name. I don't know why you are ashamed of it," He said, "but yes, you can come see her. Follow me." He smiled and started to head off into the forest. I sighed and followed him quickly staying next to him.

"Thanks again." I said just for letting me come with him.

"Of course Bluesnow, I- well I, um, I kinda like you." He said quietly looking down. I was surprised at first.

"I kinda like you too." I purr reassuringly. It was true. I did like him.

Well that happened...... I wanted to make something cute! I hope you enjoyed it! Leave a comment if they should be mates. I might change the story a little from the real clan so that she lives a little longer because they are cute together. Well tell me what you think!
