    Pineheart sat upon her garden wall and gazed out across the thunderpath that passed by her twoleg home. She sighed as the brief scent of the forest drifted past her nose and she realised how much she missed the big outdoors. Her heart told her that it was time to find a mate, she was desperate to have kits. She jumped down from the wall and limped along the street in hope of finding a suitable tom. Her tortoiseshell fur rippling in the wind and her golden eyes bright.

    Tinyclaw was walking in the twoleg-place, he had snuck out, his tiny body was able to sneak out very easily, the wind blew hard on his fur, almost lifting him off the ground, so he ran over to a twoleg den, hiding under the fence, and that Twoleg den was Pineheart's

    Pineheart sighed as she came limping back down the street towards her home. Her right back leg was in pain causing her to limp even more as she turned the corner and padded up to the fence of where she lived. She was just about jump up when she caught a stranger's scent. She fluffed up and yowled threateningly. "Who's there?"

    Tinyclaw yowled in fear "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come here, I was just coming out ti=o hunt, then these winds forced my over to this Two-leg den"

    Pineheart calmed down and her fur settled. Her golden eyes sparkled as she looked at Tinyclaw. "Sorry, I shouldn't have snapped. You are welcome to stay in my garden until the wind dies down a little. I'm Pineheart by the way." The tortoiseshell pulled herself under the fence and into the garden.

    "I was a Clan cat once, but I can no longer live out there. I got hit by a monster on the thunderpath and the twolegs saved me and made my leg better. I owe them my life." Pineheart replied as she limped towards the food bowl that was always set out waiting for her. "Are you hungry? There's plenty of food."

    "Not bad, when did you learn how to hunt?" Pineheart asked as she took a few mouthfuls of food to settle her stomach. She licked her lips and gazed at the tom, a strange ripple of warmth moving through her body.

    A couple of days after becming an apprentice, but like every other new apprentice, i wasn't a great hunter" he gigled a little thinking of the first hunt he did "on my first hunting patrol, I saw a squirrel and ran after it, only to hit one of the fourtrees, that was where I got to hunt"

    Pineheart chuckled and nodded as Tinyclaw spoke. "So you're a Clan cat then? Which one did you come from if you don't mind me asking?" She was becoming curious about the young tom.

    Pineheart purred and tilted her head. 'No wonder he won't touch the kittypet food.' She thought to herself. "That's interesting, so what's ThunderClan like?" Pineheart rolled over onto her back and stared at the tom from her upside-down position. 'He smells nice, like the forest.'

    "it's a dense forest area, with tons of trees and bushes, as camp is surronded by them, with tons of birds and squirrels and mice too" TInyclaw meowed, licking a paw

    "It's been ages since I'd last tasted mouse and such. I have caught the odd robin in the garden but that's about it. I miss the forest..." Pineheart mewed in a low voice, her golden eyes dulling slightly but she knew she could never return or even be a warrior.

    "I'm sorry you miss the forest so much, I would be devistated if I had to leave the forest, It's like leaving everything you ever loved behind" Tinyclaw sighed

    Pineheart nodded slowly. Sadly her old Clan had been wiped out and lost from memory and she knew exactly why. She deserved everything, this was her punishment. "Despite that I have made a good life here, the twolegs feed me and care for me now. But there's just something missing, a hollow area in my heart. I just wish I knew how to fill it."

    "well, When you leave behind what you loved most, your heart feels like nothing will ever heal thatone spot of the heart" Tinyclaw meowed

    Pineheart nodded, it hurt more than anything else. "Could you... could you take me to the forest? Just for a little while, so I can smell it one more time." Pineheart rolled back onto her paws and gazed longingly at the tom.
