Story by Ravenleaf of RavenClan: Ivypool is confused by Breezepelt's strange behavior and finds herself spending more time around him. What happened to their relationship based strictly off of their Clan differences?

Chapter 1: Ivypool

I sigh as I wake up from another vigorous training in the Dark Forest. Blossomfall brushes her dappled pelt against mine. It was the way she said it would be okay without actually saying anything. I shake my pelt and then run to join the rest of the hunting patrol I'm going with. I notice that Lionblaze has been added to the patrol that had already consisted of Berrynose, Sorreltail, and Spiderleg. Oh, and me. I feel Berrynose's glare on my back.

"You're late. I thought Lionblaze woke you up!" He growls at me, glaring at me so fiercely that I feel like all my secrets are exposed. Lionblaze flicks his tail over Berrynose's ear. I sigh in slight relief as we start walking. The patrol passes relatively quickly until we reach the WindClan border and run into a solo hunting Breezepelt. He's probably in a patrol, but currently he's alone. He lets a bird fly into our territory when he sees us, which I skillfully catch. He sits down, wrapping his tail around his paws. Since when did he look good enough for me to want to stare? Whatever.

"Well, hello kittens," he said silkily. "Good to see that you are still scared of me enough to stay out of my territory." Lionblaze and Berrynose growled at this, unsheathing their claws. They were so mad they didn't notice Breezepelt glance at me curiously. Sorreltail was hunting in the background, ignoring the fight. I sit allowing my tail to twitch near my paw

"Hello, Breezepelt," I flick an ear. "At least I don't mock so called 'little kittens' when they are not doing anything to hurt you. I mean, all kits are are little fluffy harmless things." I purr after saying this, just for effect. Breezepelt glares at me in a somewhat half-hearted way. He can glare better, I've felt worse. Berrynose relaxes, but Lionblaze still looks furious. Why can't he just calm down? I flick my tail over Lionblaze's ear and mutter, "Good luck dealing with Berrynose."

"Come on, Ivypool. Let's hunt by the lake." Sorreltail hissed, obviously irritated by the fight. I shrug and trail after me, but not before I hear Berrynose say, "Where did Spiderleg go?" I laugh. Spiderleg had gone hunting on his own a while ago. Sorreltail shakes her head.

By about sun-high all of the patrol meets back at the entrance to camp, before heading in. I had caught a shrew, a bird, and a vole. I don't know what the others caught. I don't really care. Honestly, I'm too tired to care about anything much anymore. Brambleclaw approaches me.

"Ivypool, I feel like you have been very tired recently, go get some sleep." I gladly nod and pad to the den. I curl up and find myself in the Dark Forest. I am surprised to be greeted by another tired friend. Breezepelt pads up to me and purrs. Well, that's weird. He never showed signs of affection. Whatever.

"Hey, Ivypool. That was a nice comeback today. I'm rather amazed you can stay awake for long enough to finish any sentence." He murmurs into my ear as he circles me. I glare at him feebly. I can fight, but I have a very small stature compared to his. It would be hard to fight him if he managed to pin me. I sit down and follow him carefully with my eyes.

"I'm rather surprised that you were tired enough to make it so easy for me to comeback. Honestly, Breezepelt. You can do so much better." I purr out. I know it has more of an effect on him than he makes it out to. He purrs slightly and sits next to me.

"Whatever. Anyway, you planning on staying here? They don't make us train during the day," he paused to glance over at me, one ear flicking nervously. "I wouldn't mind spending some time with you." I can't help but think, Why is he being so...affectionate and lovey-dovey? That's not like him…

"Well, are you?" I sigh at his persistence.

"Yes. But I'm not moving. I'm exhausted." I say flatly, hoping he knew that she wasn't kidding. He shrugged, then purred and licked my shoulder. Why was he doing this? He only wants revenge on his father.

"Good. It would have been a shame if you left me all alone here." I nod, then laugh.

"Why, would poor wittle Breezekit be all sad if he were alone?" I ask teasingly. He laughed and shook his head.

"Nah, I'd just have the company of Mapleshade and Snowtuft and the others. They get rather boring. You know?" I nod, unfortunately I had dealt with that several times. It was extremely boring. Extremely.

Anyway, we spoke for a little while. I didn't find out much that I hadn't already known. Pretty soon, we are both woken up by Clanmates for the night patrol. Hopefully we see each other during our patrols...

Hi, this is my first story. Please, if you have any constructive criticism feel free to tell me. I am horrible with chapter names so, I am sticking with who's perspective it is in. I got this idea from Drakulya and her story "10 Ways to Kill Draco Malfoy". I hope this isn't anything too similar to others, but I haven't seen anything like it yet.
