Chapter Thirty Nine

"(Y/N) would you care to go on a hunting patrol?" Hollowheart passed up to you, his eyes gleaming.
You nod and follow him out of camp.
He leads you far from from any other patrols.
"Where exactly are we going?" You ask warily.
He scooted closer to you, eyes shining brighter.
"Oh I just found this huge birds nest, I want you to see it." He responded with a grin.
You giggle awkwardly, he scoots closer.

"So where exactly is this birds nest?" The tension was high at this point. Hollowheart was know for being a awful and mean cat, so maybe he was tricking you.
"Somewhere far from camp." By now your pelts were touching. His tail wrapped around your tail, but your tail lashed away.
"No need to be scared, my dear."
You gulped. Your mind raced with thoughts.
I already have a mate!
"When are you going to take on a new mate, dearest?" He whispered into your ear.
"N-Nettlestrike is my mate." You quietly respond.
Hollowheart huffed and again attempted to intertwine your tail with his.
"But Nettlestrike is dead." His time was getting harsher and harsher.
"Well I -"
Without warning he pinned you to the ground. He dug his claws into your back.
"I said, Nettlestrike is dead!"
As he began to draw small streams of blood, you whimpered. The weight of his body made it hard to breath.
You attempt to squirm out as he moves closer and closer to you.

After a long and gruesome moment, suddenly you see something invisible slash at Hollowhearts cheek. He jumps off of you, yowling in pain.
It's Nettlestrike!
Nettlestrikes spirit stood in front of you and the fox hearted cat.
"Run (Y/N)!" Nettlestrike screeched as he lunged onto Hollowheart.
You bolt out the scene, heading for camp.
Tears streamed from your eyes.

Collecting yourself before entering the camp, you spot Tinypaw and Lilypaw play fighting.
They batted playfully at each other's heads.
You head to Silverstripes den to get herbs for your cuts on your shoulders.
At the sight of you, she and Torrentstream bolt over to you.
Silverstripe applied goldenrod and cobwebs.
"What happened!" Torrentstream asked.
Not wanting to revel the truth, you lied.
"I fell into a thorn bush." You sputter.

Hollowheart padded into camp, bruised and bloody.
"Hollowheart! What in the name of Starclan!" Torrentstream carried cobwebs to the staggering warrior.
Nettlestrike couldn't have injured him that badly!

That night you had to sleep in the same den as your new mate. He growled in his sleep. As you slept in the medicine den, Nettlestrike came to you.
"I'm so sorry. I've betrayed you." You began to tear up.
He nuzzles you.
"It's okay, it's his fault."

"Please stay with me." You beg.
He reluctantly agrees and curls up with you.
