Author's Notes: No, I don't want Jayfeather or Cinderheart to die. I just wanted to write this. Call me crazy if you want.
Jaypaw's POV
I pick up my bundle of herbs and carry it over to Cinderheart's bed of moss in the medicine den. She is lying with her back to me; she looks pitiful. A cough shakes her as I drop the herbs next to her.
"Hey, Cinderheart," I meow. "Eat these. They'll help."
Cinderheart rolls over, and stretches her head, but she is so weak that she coughs again and collaspes. So I nudge the bundle towards her, just as she stretches out a paw to get it.
I touch her paw, and it's freakishly hot. It sends a shiver up my spine that has nothing to do with the temperature of her paw.
I love Cinderheart.
I know I shouldn't. I'm a medicine cat, and an apprentice at that! But I can't stop loving her. I just can't.
And Cinderheart can't die.
Cinderheart's POV
Everything hurts. Like ... I can't find another word, so ... I hurt like hell. It's pain beyond imagining. I'm starting to think this isn't greencough. For StarClan's sake, I've only been sick for a day and I'm nearly dead already!
I hear pawsteps and a voice, "Hey, Cinderheart. Eat these. They'll help."
I roll over and see the bright, blind blue eyes of Jaypaw.
They startle me for a second. I think ... no, I do love Jaypaw. But I know I can't. He's a medicine cat -- an apprentice too. I can't love him. But I do. The facts tear my heart out.
I stretch to reach the herbs that have just been placed down in front of me, but another wave of hacking cough rushes over me and I collaspe, coughing.
I stretch out my paw instead to get them closer, and Jaypaw's paw touches mine. It feels deathly cold to me ub ny fever.
But I know it's too late. My life is slipping away.
"Jaypaw ... I love you." Those are my last words. It feels good to let my feelings out to him.
"NO!" he cries. I know he's sesned my thoughts and that I know I'm going to die. "No, Cinderheart! Don't die. You can't die. No, Cinderheart... I love you! Don't die!"
Most of the words are hardly audible to me, but the "Cinderheart... I love you" stands out in my heart. He loves me. It warms my heart and pieces it together.
Then my soul leaves my body and I'm dead.
Jaypaw's POV
I sense that Cinderheart think she is going to die. And I know she is, too. My heart is being torn to pieces right now; it's agonizing.
"Jaypaw ... I love you," she croaks. My last words. The thought stands out in my head.
"NO!" I cry. "No, Cinderheart! Don't die." It feels like my heart is leaving my body. "You can't die. No, Cinderheart... I love you. Don't die!"
But she only sighs, and then... she's... she's...
How can I live without her? Suddenly, an idea comes to me.
I head out of camp, cringing inwardly at what I'm about to do. But soon I'm at the lakeshore.
"I'm sorry, Hollyleaf, Lionblaze!" I yowl before I splash into the freezing water.
Suddenly, voices explode in my head.
"JAYPAW!" Hollyleaf's voice reaches me first, then splashing. "Have you gone insane?"
"I think he's trying to kill himself!" yowls Lionblaze.
"Then get him out!" shrieks Hollyleaf.
I take another breath of water, the one that fills my lungs up with it. I regret it immediately.
Now the power of three will become the power of two.
All because of love.
Oh, why didn't I think? Why didn't I go over what would happen?
What will Hollyleaf and Lionblaze do without me?
Damn!
I feel myself being dragged out.
"Jaypaw!" Their united voices make me struggle to get out of my death. But it's too late. I feel my soul leave my body, and... damn it! I'm dead.
In a second, or an eternity, I see Cinderheart padding towards me wearing a sad smile.
"I knew you'd come," she meowed.
And we walked together to StarClan on a path of stars.
