Whispering Wetlands

"What's wrong," he asked when he heard her sigh.

[~Breadsticks~]

"What if someone finds out about us?" She asked, staring down at her paws in fear, "What if Blazingnight finds out? What if Singenight finds out?" She whispered, her eyes dark. "I can't leave you, but what if they found out about us?"

[CinnamonCookie]

"They won't. Besides, if they do, I'll take the blame." Ashenbreeze assured.

[~Breadsticks~]

Hawkcry gave him a shocked look, "Ashenbreeze, you can't do that." She whispered, resting her head on his shoulder, "I can't loose you.."

[CinnamonCookie]

"I can't lose you either. So this will be a secret that nobody knows of. Oh! And when you leave, rub yourself in the grass so that no smell of me is on you. If your Clan do find out, tell them that you were on patrol and I was hunting and a crossed the line on accident. Ok?" Ashenbreeze said.

[~Breadsticks~]

Hawkcry nodded, "Will do, and uh-Ashenbreeze?" She stuttered, "Can we spend the night at the border? The camp is so quiet and I don't have any cat to talk to.."

[CinnamonCookie]

"I'll stay here as long as you want..." he said.

[~Breadsticks~]

Hawkcry smiled and gave a small yawn, curling up against Ashenbreeze. Before she drifted off to sleep she purred, "Thank you Ashenbreeze."

[CinnamonCookie]

"Don't think about it." he whispered as she slept. He licked her forehead, looking at her beautiful face. He stayed by her side all night, guarding her.

[~Breadsticks~]

Hawkcry woke up, glancing around Did I spend the whole night here? She wondered as she sat up, turning her gaze to Ashenbreeze, "Did you stay up all night?"
