*Misty's POV*

The morning after Star Spirit was kidnapped by those mysterious green humaniods, Misty barely got enough sleep. She recognized the blue turtle that tied the rope around her leader's neck and tugged at it until he passed out. Misty and her Tribemates fought them to save Star Spirit, but they failed. And Misty blamed herself entirely. She was the daughter of the previous leader, she was supposed to succeed in saving a tribemate from abduction, like her mother did. She whimpered and buried her nose in her paws, she sobbed.

"Hey, Misty, it's ok, we'll get him back." A smoothing voice whispered in her ear and Misty felt a tail rest on her shoulders, the grey she-cat looked up to see Shine looking down at her with kind eyes, "We'll make sure of it." The black she-cat laid down beside Misty.

"Thank you...Shine... I-I don t know what to do without him. I...love him." She began to sob again. Yes, she loved the handsome ginger tom, but he always ignored her after Rose's death. MIsty understood why, it wasn't just his mate, but his unborn kits died too, Misty would have no idea what that was like. Shine stood back up and walked away and Misty felt someone else lay beside her. It was Fang, the tom who had a crush on her since the were students. He smiled at her lovingly, but she turned her head away from him. She didn't want him to be the cat who would stick by her side, she wanted Star Spirit to be that cat. Fang's amber eyes darkened when she refused to speak to him.

"Misty, you have to quite mopping around, thinking about that arrogant tom." He meowed with a growl in his voice, his tail suddenly entwined with hers, but she pulled it away.

"Star Spirit is not arrogant! He's the most noble tom I've ever met!" She hissed at Fang, lashing her tail. Fang growled back at her.

"Don't forget he rejected you and allowed himself to be taken by three scrawny humanoids! I bet he's having the time of his life, with his real family! He doesn't care about you!" He spat back, his words stung Misty's heart like claws tearing it apart. Fang saw the hurt in her eyes and his voice softened.

"But I care about you, I'll do anything to make sure you're happy and safe." He licked her ear. This time, Misty didn't pull away, she begun to believe that Star Spirit truly didn't love her and Fang does. She snuggled in Fang's dark tabby fur, his scent wreathed around her, making her feel safe. She let out a soft purr. She could finally settle down with someone who would actually love her. She was finally happy.

....But, little did she know this was all apart of Fang's plan... as the tom let out a soft chuckle...
