Flamefur sighed as he lay in the empty warriors den. Thoughts flooded him like rain. He had heard Hawkstar telling some apprentices the story of her and Wildpath.
The young ginger tom rolled over and closed his eyes. Now he couldn't sleep.
Flamefur knew Wildpath was dead and that he was Hawkstar's mate, now, but he also knew more. His thoughts flickered back to he time that Hawkstar had became his mate.
"Flamefur, you will never replace Wildpath but of course I would be your mate!" Hawkstar nuzzled Flamefur with affection.
"But I know you would turn back time if you could or give anything to have him back!" Flamefur growled offendedly to himself that night.
The tom knew that it was true. Hawkstar would give anything to have Wildpath back.
He thought back to the story. She would never be jealous if he saw another cat. When him and Midnightstar had been close she never blinked an eyelash.
Flamefur closed his eyes and whispered to himself.
"Why can't I be the important one here!"
He heard russeling in the bushes behind the den and scented...
Hawkstar!

Hawkstar had felt uncomfortable at the thought of her mate in the warriors den. She was lonely. "Flamefur? You're here?" Seeing the worried look on the tom's face, alarm shot through her. "Flamefur! What's wrong?" she wailed, getting startled looks from other groggy warriors.

Flamefur took a breath, worried that Hawkstar had heard him when he had said his wish louder then meant. "Nothing." he growled, getting up and dashing off in to the forest.
Maybe a swim will help me, he thought, padding silently in to the distant river. The cool water calmed his nerves and he felt relaxed, almost forgetting about Wildpath.

Hawkstar felt terribly offended so she waited quietly by the bramble entrance. Soon she heard Flamefur, dripping with water. "Flamefur," she meowed firmly, stepping in front of him. "I know something is wrong. Don't try to hide it. Please tell me." she mewed, hoping he wouldn't run away again.

Flamefur closed his eyes and meowed quietly.
"It's Wildpath. All the stories you've been telling the apprentices. I keep feeling like I'm second best." Flamefur grimly said.
He waited for Hawkstar's reply.

"Oh, Flamefur." Hawkstar was horrified. She pushed into Flamefur's pelt. "I would never love him more than you.Our kits never survived. It was like a warning from StarClan. Even the Path thing..." Hawkstar paused, lost in thought. "I loved him, but in a different way. You will always be first. I love you Flamefur." she mewed quietly, hoping she mate an effect on her mate. she really did love himmore. When she met him, she didn't have kits. Now that hey had kits...

"Why would StarClan have a warning? He gave you one of our lives, didn't he? You always say in the stories! If StarClan had a warning, they would have sent him to the Dark Forest for they didn't like him. But cats in the Dark Forest don't give other cats lives!" Flamefur meowed, feeling slightly better.

"Well, don't worry about Wildpath. He may have been the first tom I knew. He may have been handsome. But you are more handsome, kinder, and you are my mate now. Why dwell on the past when I have an even better life in the future?" she meowed, hoping this fully consoled Flamefur.

"Ok, thanks, Hawkstar." Flamefur felt happy by her words. He licked her ear affectionately and padded back to her den with her.

"You're welcome, Flamefur." Remembering something, she shyly asked, "Do you want to sleep with me tonight?"

"Sure." he meowed, purring. He curled up next to her, glad to have her as a mate. "Hawkstar?"

"Thanks for kicking me." he growled.
Eaglepaw crawled out of the den sinisterly.
"Hee hee hee!" she meowed.

"What? Oh, sorry Flamefur." Hawkstar mewed quietly, laying her head on top of Flamefur's soft back and closing her eyes.
(Sunpaw) "Be quiet!" Sunpaw hissed to Eaglepaw. "Do you want them to hear us?"

(Eaglepaw)"Shh! You be quiet! They're gonna hear us! We better leave!" Eaglepaw whispered to her brother.
Flamefur laughed. "We can hear you two!" he meowed.
