Pine Forest

First topic message reminder :

Feathermoon bounded in cheekily, scrambling up a tree. She darted from one tree to another nimbly, her long legs moving like a blur, scanning the forest below. "I'll get a rabbit!" She yowled, giggling as she scanned the treetops over again. She glanced down to her companions. "Come on, turtles!" She smiled and landed right in front of Heavygaze. "Boo." She whispered after a long pause.

"You never loved her. Why bother?" Willowsong meowed flatly.

"No, it isn't." Willow murmured gently.

"But you were the one who deserved him. You're beautiful, you're smart, you're one million times better than her." Willowsong pointed out.

Willowsong only smiled crookedly. "She deserved to live, alright. But she chose to die, maybe because of me."

Heavygaze nudged Bluefeather away from the medicine cat, pressing his muzzle to hers to comfort her. He still refused to speak.

"The choice was hers." Willow meowed dismissively.

Heavygaze let his golden eyes rest on Feather once more.

Flashfire heard the yowling and came rushing. His eyes opened wide at the sight of Feathermoon and the cats around her, arguing. "Wha- What's going on here!?"

Willowsong shrugged. "Feathermoon is dead. Nothing else."

His green eyes blazed "NOTHING ELSE!?" he hissed. There was seriously something wrong with a cat who thought the death of a clanmate was nothing. He allowed his temper to settle and he looked away from Willowsong to Feathermoon.

Heavygaze glared at Flashfire as he arrived. He'd hoped that him a nd Bluefeather could mourn privatly and carry her body back to camp alone.

He sighed and looked over to Heavygaze. "I'm so so sorry... Would you like some assistance on bringing her back to camp?"

"I'll carry her back myself." Heavygaze whispered, finally speaking. He hauled the dead warrior onto his broad back. "It was my fault anyway." he mumbled, barely audible.

Willowsong sighed exasperatedly. "It was no one's fault. Only her's." She gave Feather's limp body a careless shove and padded away from the Pine Forest.

The red tom closed his eyes with grief, then rushed to the side of Heavygaze. "This isn't something you have to deal with by yourself. I just want you to know that."

Heavygaze let out a loud growl, one so very feral, even for him. "Touch her again, and I'll kill you." he promised. His golden eyes were just as wild as his growl.

"Flashfire, please," she mewed, letting her tail tip touch his leg.

(Kay we gotta get her back to camp... Everything is so scattered now!)

Heavygaze started stalking back to camp, not seeming to notice the dead weight on his body. (literally O.O) (To tha camp!)

Flashfire stopped in his tracks. He knew not to cross the line Heavygaze had drawn. He looked to Bluefeather. "I'd keep him company. I beleive you are the only one who can reach him."
