Sokoto nodded and started calculating what he could do to make this worse. He could tell them lies about his happiness. Or he could provoke them to do more damage. "Why should only Tinyscar pay? Why not get rid of the root of the problem?" He was refering to the cause of the happiness.

Spiderpaw smirked. "Because, when you battle in war, you can't take on the enemy all at once; you must take them down one by one. Do not doubt there is no plan for the cause of his joy as well." He could hear Jadepaw's coice in his head as he spoke: What?! I thought you were going to stop at Tonyscar if you even got that far! Brother you can't. That's just cruel- Spiderpaw shuddered and banished the voice and looked back to Sokoto. "But if you happened to have a plan in mind, there would be noe use in keeping it secret, now would there?"

Sokoto smirked and sat down. "If you take care of the root first, the rest of the problem will become depressed and weak. Easier for you to take down as well." Where had Sokoto's evil come from? His mother and father seemed kind and loyal. But how did Sokoto and up like this?

"It doesn't matter then the reat is already preparded to crumble," Spiderpaw mewed, eyes locked on the appretince. And here he thought the rest of his clan happened to be annoying softies that are worth less than dirt. At least, Tinyscar was. "The root works both ways- it shall become weak after the problem falls. In spite of having more strength, the time would already be at hand- and the root shall fall as well. One will followthe other. Easy."

Sokoto pondered this. "But what if the root was atached to several problems?" This was certainly a confusing conversation they where having. He started to wonder what Jadepaw was thinking at the moment. He soon shuned the idea of her and him together. Sokoto had almost forgotten Willowkit, his love. But he had not seen her for many seasons. Maybe it was time to move on.

"Then the root should be glad to be relieved of their problems and crumle under the claws of those above them." Spiderpaw glanced at his sister as she padded back into camp, shaking her head in dismay. "You can't even find dirt. How pathetic," he mewed and slashed Jadepaw across the face. She recoiled a few steps but padd back behind her brother; the scratch would just be another to add to her collection, all from the same cat.
"I-I'm sorry, Spiderpaw. But I looked all over the huntung grounds and-" Jadepaw began, but was stopped. Spiderpaw began diggin ghis paws into the ground- a silent signal for her to stop.
"Now, Sokoto, where were we?"

Sokoto winced at Spiderpaw slashing Jadepaw. "Now now, Spiderpaw. Be careful not to destroy that pretty face of hers." He mewed before thinking about what he had just said. "We where speaking of this root. And this problem. Perhaps I could be of assistance in getting rid of both." He said with a smirk on his face. This root and this problem where about to find out what Sokoto could really do.

Spiderpaw's eyes narrowed for a moment, but dropped his words as Sokoto returned to taking down those worthy enough to fall. "If you wish to help, than you may stuck to your plan- you get to the root. The top shall fall soon enough, and one will fall because of the other soon regardless of which. Just don't be stupid and let either close to the other- it may ruin everything. Come, Jadepaw." Spiderpaw rose and began padding out of camp after his sister, the she-cat keepin her head down to the sil beneath her claws.
"Oh, and Sokoto? Don't be a fool about it," he called over his shoulder before his figure disappeared from byond the camp walls.

As weak as Frostclaw was, he had Thunderstar to help support the dying tom as Thunderstar helped him in. The whole camp seemed hushed as Frostclaw's blue eyes were now dull and hazy. Thornsoul dipped her head out of her den with a gasp and started arranging herbs.
Cloudpool and Cloverleaf sat outside the medicine cat den. They fell silent aswell, as if afraid if they spoke Frostclaw would die.
Frostclaw's eyes scanned the Clan for the one cat he had ever truly loved- Brambleshadow.

Brambleshadow tried to stagger back to camp. The kits where coming and she was not feeling well. Irontail spotted the troubled queen and rushed to try to help her into the Nursery before the kits came. It was almost too late. Sokoto turned to see his father and grunted. "Thornsoul! Brambleshadow's kits are coming!" Why did Sokoto have to be such a nice cat deep down?

" It's times like this I need an apprentice!" Thornsoul whined, dashing to Frostclaw. He was more likely to die and she knew if he rested eyes on Brambleshadow KITTING he'd succeed in killing himself this time. " Irontail, get her to the nursery. She CANNOT come into my den right now."

Ryuu and Tsuki both back up to the walls of the camp so not to stray into Frostclaw's nor Brambleshadow's path. This would be interesting- the she-cat is about to have the kits of another as her other lover sat by near death. Ryuu forced back a smirk of the moment as Tsuki's heart dropped- it was impecibly bad timing.
||Short. My apologies||

Irontail obeyed the Medicine Cat and took her to the Nursery. Sokoto snikered a bit at first and then settled down to watch the explosion. Irontail just sat outside the Nursery. "What am I supposed to do now? I certainly can't help her." Sokoto rolld his eyes at his pathetic father. "Your supposed to guard the entrance, sit, and wait. Didn't mom teach you this when I was kitted?"

Thornsoul treated the worst of Frostclaw's wounds before bolting into the nursery. " Brambleshadow, I hope you know Frostclaw was just brought into camp, I'm certain he won't make it. He fell off a ledge in the mountains. A cat named Spots found him and returned him to us, but Frostclaw tried to kill himself." She was on Frostclaw's side. " Sunpaw! Can you help me? Go up to my den and put marigold on Frostclaw's wounds-"
" Where is she.....?" A faint mew flowed into the den. Frostclaw had scented Brambleshadow.

Brambleshadow's eyes softened. "Please don't let him die, Thornsoul!" She hadn't yet told her that she was there too when he tried to commit suicide. Brambleshadow heard his mew and quieted down before he figured out what was happening. He would just try to kill himself again. And she still had to live with what happened to Sapphirepaw. If Frostclaw where to die, she would never forgive herslef.

" I can't promise you anything, Brambleshadow. More than anything he'll die. In fact, he needs to get better just to die. Brambleshadow, I don't know what he did the second time, and I have no clue what happened while you two were gone, but I know if Frostclaw lives he's going to keep hurting himself." Thornsoul mewed.

Brambleshadow's eyes closed for a few seconds. It was true, just the sight of her would send Frostclaw flying off another cliff. She couldn't put him through more pain. "Whatever happens to him, he'll still be my best fiend. I still love my mate, but Frostclaw is my best friend." She didn't know why she didn't just say Skullpaw. It was probably because she didn't want the Clan in a riot about it.

A white head popped into the nursery, blue eyes scanning the scent he knew all too well. He couldn't see Brambleshadow yet, but Frostclaw knew she was down here.
" Frostclaw, back to my-" Thornsoul started, about to stand.
" Lies. More lies. More lies. More lies." Frostclaw moaned, finally seeing Brambleshadow. " More lies, more lies, more lies." He slammed his head against the wall so hard his eyes began to roll around in their sockets. " Why? Why? Why? Why lie? Why?" He sounded like a blind elder. He didn't even have the strength to stand, to run away and end his life, away from all these lies...

Brambleshadow winced in pain. And started mewing qietly. "Frostclaw. Don't do this to yourself. Please. Watching you do this to yourself is painful for me too." She didn't want him to die. She wanted him to live and help her raise the kits due to Skullpaw's absence. She wanted him to become a sort of foster father for them. "Please Frostclaw. Please." She pleaded as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Eyes narrowed, Frostclaw's fur bristled. " Never. You lied to me, Brambleshadow. I truely believed you were the right one, and that you loved me."
||Aweful post, I know. T.T||

Post by Bramble on Feb 11, 2007 16:34:03 GMT -5
Brambleshadow's eyes watered. "I only lied because I didn't want to see you end up like Sapphirepaw!" She looked away with tears streaming down her face.
||Ick. =P I hated that post.||

" You love seeing her hurt just like you love seeing me hurt! I loved you Brambleshadow, and you faked love back. I hope your happy that taunted Sapphirepaw and made her cry so you could have Skullpaw!" Frostclaw was snarling now. " It's come to this. I have nothing left- Thunderstar's leader now, you a traitor, my best friend- my only friend is dead, and everyone hates me. Goodbye, Brambleshadow. From now on you'll only see me in the badlands."
Thornsoul was too shocked to move.

Brambleshadow now had a river of tears running down her face. She wanted to stop this, but to do that she would have to kill herself. Instead she concentrated on her kits. They needed her more. If Frostclaw wanted to die, then there was nothing she could do.

Frostclaw turned to leave- just one problem- he was too weak to move! with an irratated hiss he called Rockclaw, who took him to the medicine cat den. The whole time he was crying, screaming about how Brambleshadow had lied to him.
It took every ounce of strength Thornsoul had to not claw Brambleshadow to bits, and it showed.

Brambleshadow closed her eyes and stopped the tears from flowing. "Stop looking at me like that Thornsoul. What would you have done? I know it was wrong, but do not take the Badland's job away by torturing me." Her voice was as cold as ice. Her heart was aching. And so where some other parts I best not explain right now.

" Stop stressing and being a furball. Just relax, Frostclaw's my friend- was my friend. I hate to see him hurt-" Though you love it! She thought. Right now all she could think about was how much Frostclaw had been through. " And for your information I would have told him I loved someone else, not pretend to love them back."
Pretend.

Brambleshadow looked away. "I never wanted to hurt him. I wanted to protect him." Her eyes closed as tears started to fall again. Her kits where born and suckling beside her. Why was she even upset about him? All that mattered now was that she had five beautiful kits.

" Don't worry about it. Your job is to watch your kits. I'll be back, my new job is to make sure Frostclaw doesn't... well, I'm certain you can guess." Thornsoul mewed. She sniffed each kit gingerly. " They seem fine, I'll give them a more thorough check later. I need to make sure Frostclaw's wounds don't open up." She ran out of the den.
Thunderstar padded in and looked at the kits. " They're beautiful!" He smiled. " What are their names?" Thunderstar pretended he didn't know his best friend Frostclaw was going to kill himself eventually.

Brambleshadow nodded and licked her kits before turning to her Leader. "Well, they are Leafkit, Gemkit, Toadkit, Bendingkit, Moonkit, and Opalkit." She mewed softly as she licked Opalkit. They looked like their father. And she was happy about it, so that without Skullpaw being here she could still remember him. She was still trying to decide wich kit to take to him when they where old enough. It was not going to be easy.
