Meeting Up Again, But With A Secret? (Chapter 9)
After a few days, Cinderpaw could limp around the camp without help. She then started doing her regular things and routines. Cinderpaw decided to go out of camp for a while and over to the lake. When she was there she was very careful to not hurt her leg while sitting down. Friskpaw was about to walk up to her only to see that her leg is broken. "What happened Cinderpaw?" Friskpaw asked her. "Oh, I just got ran over by a monster (car), no big deal!" Cinderpaw joked or tried to joke. "That's not funny Cinderpaw." Friskpaw said in a serious tone. Cinderpaw sighed, "I know. It's just that I won't be able to walk the same anymore. I'll have to limp for the rest of my life." For some reason Friskpaw was hurt by this. They were heartbroken by the sound of Cinderpaw's hurt/sad voice.Today Friskpaw was a boy. Cinderpaw could tell by the way both of his eyes were blue. "Oh, so you're a boy today?" Cinderpaw lightly joked. "Guess so." Friskpaw gave a breathy laugh. He (yes he BC he's a guy in this chapter. I don't judge) went over to sit beside Cinderpaw, who was looking at the lake. Friskpaw mumbled something under his breath. "Hmm?" "Nothing." Friskpaw told Cinderpaw. "O-okay.... If you say so." Cinderpaw replied. She then checked her broken leg. She remembered an ancestor of hers (from stories) that had this same injury.
'Did I get the same destiny? No I couldn't have because I was already a medicine cat...' Cinderpaw got lost in her thoughts. "Hey. Hey Cinderpaw? You ok?" Cinderpaw got brought back to reality from Friskpaw's voice. "Y-yeah. I'm fine." She told him looking away. "You sure?" He asked. "Yes. Geez, you're nosey today." Cinderpaw laughed the last part.
"Hey! It's not my fault if I worry over you because I suddenly fell for you!" After Friskpaw yelled that everything went quiet. "W-what?" Cinderpaw gasped confusedly/quietly. "N-nothing! I said nothing!" Friskpaw quickly lied. "Y-you fell for... Me?" Cinderpaw asked him and looked over at him. Friskpaw sighed knowing that his secret was over. "Yes. I have had these feelings for you for a while, too. I'm just good at hiding them." "Well.... I like you, too." Cinderpaw told him shyly/quietly while looking away. "Really?" He asked her. "Y-yeah..." She replied and if cats could blush she'd be as red as Death Berries. Suddenly, Friskpaw started to laugh happily and glomp (tackle-hugged) Cinderpaw, being careful of her leg. Since Cinderpaw was so surprised she couldn't do anything except smile. Looks like these two will be together for awhile. Or until someone found them out.
