Sparowwing whipped around to faced Moonwhisker and snarled, "Do you have a problem?" She stalked forward and bared her teeth at the she-cat, crouching down, "I could beat you with my eyes closed." The warrior gave a surprised yell as she was thrown to the ground.
Ebonypaw pinned Sparrowwing to the cold earth, his eyes narrowed. "Lay one claw on her and I'll kill you." He whispered to her, fury lighting his amber gaze. The tom was kicked off but he lunged forward as soon as he got to his paws, slamming into the small she-cat.

She looks in surprise at the two cats tussling. She's silent in awe at the sudden attack.

Sparrowwing whipped around and kicked, her back paw connecting with his jaw. She ignored his cry of pain and tackled him, forcing him to the ground. She waited for a few moments and backed away, "If that were a real battle you'd be dead." She told him bluntly, turning and stalking away.
Ebonypaw got up, giving a slight hiss as he turned and sat back beside Fleetclaw.

She just looked away in complete awe, she turned back around, her face revealing nothing, and she frowned at a scratch on Ebonpaw's pelt. She mouthed, Meet you at the border tomorrow! We need to talk!

Ebonypaw nodded, turning to Fleetclaw, "Can I leave early? Singenight wanted to train earlier than normal." He came up with the lie quickly, giving Fleetclaw a smirk. When he was excused he gave Moonwhisker a soft smile then turned and left.

She watched him leave with concern and she looked down at her paws, her paws feeling like heavy stones, weighing her down. Her ears go back and flatten, she knew that it was her fault that Ebonypaw got hurt. She messed things up once again!

Reedbriar turned to Moonwhisker and purred, "You can leave Moonwhisker, same with you Furzepaw." She said, turning and leading Furzepaw away.

"Thank you Reedbriar." She dips her head to Reedbriar for she was very thankful of her kindness. She woke up in her nest in the Thunderclan camp.

Ash stood in the Darkforest with her eyes closed. She knew where she was by the sounds, it was deathly silent and there was no breeze to be found. Then there was the fact that she felt light as a father, physical pain no longer tearing through her limbs as she tried to cling to life. It was over. It was finally over. She was reluctant to open her eyes. She wanted to stay still with them closed, pretend this wasn't happening for a little longer. But it was no use. She could feel the hot tears already spilling down her face. She wiped at the furiously and opened her eyes, tears would do her no good here. They would only serve to make her a laughing act of the forest.

Her golden-red eyes focused on the space around her. She was on the outskirts. She was thankful for that. Hidden from the prying eyes of those who were ready to mock her. Though she wasn't far off from camp, as she could smell the dark scent of the other cats nearby. Her stomach knotted as she looked around, disoriented. Where would she go now, what would she do? She had nobody here. No friends, no family. She'd left everything behind and now she was alone with the isolation.
A small sobbing whine caught in the back of her throat, produced involuntarily from the helplessness she felt. Her body was bent over as she stared at the hard ground rather than the bleak forest around her. All she wanted to do was go back, go back and join them, be there for them. Another sob arose and she swallowed it down.It felt like she was trying to swallow a crab apple whole. Her body shivered uncomfortably and she finally raised her eyes.

The forest seemed infinitely beyond her. A vast and dark space where she could live out her days eternally. It made her want to be nonexistent. This emptiness that overwhelmed her. Surely she could visit Burdock in his dreams, but it wasn't the same. It never would be the same. All her dreams of another litter of kits, of watching them grow, of being elders together were gone. Worthless dreams that would never be fulfilled. She had nothing to look forward to here except missing out as life moved on without her.

Walking through the endless forest, a blueish and brown tom moved like a ghost, an accurate term for the afterlife he had found himself trapped within. He was not like the rest of the spirits that dwelled within the Dark Forest, angry, spiteful, hungry for power even after their vile crusade had been cut short in the waking world. Rainsplash was a tom who'd done terrible, unforgivable things, things that he'd always known would haunt him no matter where he went or what he did. Having been one of Eternalstar's most loyal lieutenants in RiverClan during the first Evil Era, he hadn't been surprised that his betrayal of the Ocean King wouldn't have been enough to earn him salvation when death at last came to claim him. He could still feel the bite of Singenight's fangs as brown paws carried him across the dark, diseased almost ground.

The tom wasn't certain what he was walking towards, feeling the pulsating power of another spirit nearby. It was nearly impossible to find another feline in the eternal cage they'd been cast into for their sins, but if a cat was determined enough they would eventually find their way there. It was a risk, going towards the spirit that he could sense, the power of StarClan radiating nearby to signal this was a fresh soul for the endless nightmare that was the Dark Forest. There were so many that had arrived recently, StarClan punching holes into the shadows to cast another into eternal damnation. He sighed with disdain as his thoughts turned towards the holier than thou felines who'd decided to separate him from his mate for all eternity.

It wasn't as if he could visit her in her waking dreams, Swiftbreeze had been killed just moments before him by Singenight. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't find the border with StarClan, couldn't find her along the edge and hope to talk with her, to plead for her understanding and forgiveness as he did so long ago when he at last cast off the shackles of Eternalstar's control. When he thought of his mate, he could only picture her as she died, the agony and terror upon the silver tabby's face just before everything grew dark for him as well.

He didn't belong here.

That was what he kept telling himself at least, that he had earned redemption, that he was no like the spirits around him. He should have been with her, not wandering the darkness forever for past mistakes. StarClan was supposed to be forgiving weren't they? Then again, perhaps some sins weren't worth forgiveness.

His whiskers twitched as he sensed the spirit, realizing he'd drawn near enough to hear soft sobs, the struggled noise of one trying to stop them. That seemed a good sign to him, that whatever feline had just joined the Dark Forest might not be a cruel killer. The passing thought that they could be psychotic did slip his mind, and risking it, he turned the corner and took in the sight of Blazingnight. Instantly recognizing her, he gave a low whistle. "Well I'll be..."
