The Kits

(Chapter 23)

~~ Normal P.O.V. ~~

It has been a few weeks since the Gathering and Hawkflame and Cindertuft are back together now. They were going to meet up tonight by the lake, but Cindertuft only made it half way before passing out from exhaustion. Hawkflame didn't know.

'She's late.' Hawkflame thought. 'What if something got her? What if something came up and she couldn't come?' 

Hawkflame got up and started to make his way to Thunderclan camp. Half way there he noticed something laying in the grass and bushes, asleep. As he got closer, he recognized the small animal as Cindertuft. Hawkflame ran over to her and inspected her for any wounds. When he saw that she had none, he sighed in relief. He then gently put Cindertuft on his back and made his way to an old, abandoned fox den. He then made a nest and tucked Cindertuft into the nest. Hawkflame laid down next to Cindertuft and pulled her close so she'd be warm. Hawkflame then fell asleep with his love next to him. 

~~ Hawkflame's P.O.V. ~~

Cindertuft is mine and I know that for sure. I love her and she loves me. If she didn't then why would she take me back after I told her that I didn't love her? I guess that's true love, but I still don't know why I said that I never loved her. It was all lies. I was deeply in love with her and my love keeps growing stronger for her everyday. She's my soulmate and I know it. Nothing with ever keep us apart ever again... I hope.
