Icerose snorted."I don't have anything, but you Rosedancer." Her eyes flashed with pain as memories of her family came into her mind. She could hardly believe that she had been that happy at one time. ""All my family has died on me. The only one that really cares for me in this clan is you, ROsedancer. All I'm going to be good for is caring for the sick and injured."

"And you don't love me? You never once thought that there could be a path brighter for you that you were always able to cross?" Softheart mewed, growing slightly frantic. The voice of death and her brother were ebbing away as her own words began to sink in. "Do you think death will make you happier than I ever could." She took a sharp breath; her hind paws were scraping the edge of the branch, the entire tree seeming to lean down. Smooth. Her foreclaws sunk into the bark just before all under her began to fall. And there she was, left with only her claws keeping her from Jaypaw's choice.
"You're wrong, Icerose. Gorsestar cares about you, as does Softheart and the rest of the clan. You do more than heal. You're one of support- please, don't forget that." Rosedancer was then swept to sleep, leaving the last words she would ever speak rinning in the den.
||XP Lame. *sigh* and no, even if Jaypaw doesn't help her, Softheart isn't going to die.||

Jaypaw stared. " You're a deputy now, Softheart. Things have changed, Softheart. Everyone I love is dead, but you. Your the single item that keeps me alive, but I can no longer love you. Your duties are to TornadoClan now, and not to me. It won't be the same." The words would've made the smartest cat ever speechless. He grabbed Softheart by the scruff and hauled her up, his explanation clear now.

Icerose padded out of the den to let Rosedancer rest for a bit. Maybe I should just quit being medicine cat and become a apprentice instead. Rosedancer isn't that old and could find a new apprentice before she dies. But what about Blizzardpaw? He and I worked so hard to become a medicine cat and I was chosen instead of him. He would never forgive me if I quit, she let out a small exasperated sigh. Things never worked out the way she wanted. Rosedancer had only told her that her clan cared for her so that she would become one of the happy joyful self once again, but that wasn't going to happen anytime soon. She knew the truth. Everyone always abandones her at the end. SO why be happy if you know thats going to happen? NO one really cares for her any ways.

Softheart reached for the trunk of the tree, keeping silent under her paws were on the branch once more. "Yes, I am deputy now, Jaypaw. But that won't change things. Gorsestar isn't going anywhere for a long time- he still has eight lives left. I will have to pay more atention to my clan, but that won't change things between us, Jaypaw." Look at Fernstar, look at Ravenstar. If they could have mates with their positions, then so could she. "Please...I want us to stay together, Jaypaw...."

" We can't, Softheart. There's no way. Everything's different, Softheart. I love you, but I must leave. It's too late now, it will never be the same." Jaypaw was trying hard to keep himself under control. His eyes went from red to pure black- no color at all.
|| Bahumbug.||

"Jaypaw, please..." Softheart mewed, Her voice was growing desperate; she could feel the dark claws of Blacksteel sinking back into her head, trying to get it over with. "Pl-...please, I don't want to have to...." Kill you for trying to do it yourself, for trying to make me...
Angry?
"Please don't leave me, Jaypaw. Things don't have to be different. We can still...." Be in love.
||Bah.||

" Be in love? Remember the first time you found out I loved you? Who was the one who got the message to you? Hollypaw. Who was the one that saved Rosedancer? Blizzardpaw. Who was the one who defended the camp? Lionpaw. Who was the one that was attacked by Leopardclaw and survived? You. Don't you see, Softheart? Your next. You're going to die, and I don't want to suffer anymore. I've lived through too much. I'm sorry, Softheart." Jaypaw looked at the ground below.
So tempting...

Softheart kept fighting off the darkness, the claws that kept tearing at her mind. Thoughts of hate, of death. She didn't want that. Her gray tail was a light barrier between Jaypaw and the ground, her words wistful. "Jaypaw, do you not remember? I was supposed to die long ago, long before yous sister or brother or friend. But you changed that. I won't be leaving for a long time, whether you chose to die now or not. I...I am aware that there is another cat from our clan joining Starclan tonight. Please, after all that has happened... I don't want to lose you too."

Jaypaw looked at Softheart. " You will not lose me, Softheart. But I must leave. I am aware of Rosedancer's death tonight, but I am also aware that Blizzardpaw loved Rosedancer. For her to be gone would leave nothing for me to remember him goodbye." Jaypaw mewed. " So why not just forget it all?" Jaypaw mewed. " I will always love you Softheart, but I will be up in the mountains with Leopardclaw if you ever need me." Jaypaw leaped from the tree, but he didn't land where he had wanted to. Instead of hitting the moss below, he hit the rock.
Silence.

Sweetpaw ran over to Jaypaw. She nudged her brother. "Jaypaw, don't leave me." He was her last sibling. "Jaypaw please don't die!" She wailed, "Don't leave me, brother!" She looked into his eyes, "Please brother."

Softheart's pulse seemed to miss a beat as the tim fell, her air heavy as her claw struck the side of the tree in grieving. "Jaypaw, you...stubborn fool," she hissed lightly under her breath, dropping herself to the ground. "Sweetpaw, can you...stay here and watch him, will you. Rosedancer...I must get her..." she mewed. Her words seemed unable to form themselves into sentances, unable to get more than the point across. Her eyes wree locked on the ground as her paws flew back into the camp. Don't leave yet. Please, we can't have you leave yet. We still need you. Both of you.
Rosedancer lazily found her way to were Jaypaw found his rest with Sweetpaw at his side. "Excuse me please," she mewed, sleep haning in her voice. Her head dipped to press to his chest; his opulse was faint. There, but faint."It was probably the impact, with my guess internal bleeding. There are no herbs that I can do for him now- that's up to himself. Please, get him to my den." So there may be two cats in the medicine cat's den tomorrow morning? I'm sure that'll lift the camp well....
Softheart nodded and put Jaypaw's body ionto her back; she was amazed at the strength she was still able to have. Everyone in her life had left her, all but the clan itself. And only for that reason may I still live if he choses to join Starclan.

Jaypaw let out a faint squeak as he was lifted. He couldn't open his eyes or even twitch. The impact had realy rattled his brain.
|| Bah! ||

Rosedancer glanced at her patient as Softheart gently lowered him to the center of the medicine cat den, turning back to find anything to ease his pain. He was still consious, still alive. Barely. "Please give him this," she mewed to Softheart; the gray warrior nodded and forced the herb down Jaypaw's throat.
"If..I'm sorry, I have to go and inform Gorsestar," she mewed hesitantly. Softheart gave a pained look at the apprentince before darting out of the den. Please be all right, she begged to Starclan as she ran. Please don't take everything from me like this.

Sweetpaw looked at his brother, "Will he be alright Rosedancer? Please stay he will." Tears in her face. "He's the only sibling I have now. Do say he'll be alright.

||*blink* I thought Jaypaw's only sibilings were Lionpaw2 and Hollypaw...||
Rosedancer shook her head slightly. "I won't know until he wakes up, Sweetpaw. No one will know but Starclan." Maybe I'll be able to tell come tomorrow, if it ever comes. She sighed and retreated to her bed, waiting for sleep to overtake her once more.

Jaypaw waited until no one was looking. His act had worked! He quickly got up and dashed out of camp without a ward.

Sweetpaw growled at Jaypaw. As he treid to run. She ran after him. Hard on him until she tripped on a branch. She watched him run off.

Softheart padded back into the medicine cat den, Jaypaw and Sweetpaw both gone. "Rosedancer, where-" she began frantically before her thoughts cut her off. The she-cat rested with Starclan now. Right.
"Gorsestar?" she mewed, racing back up to her leader. "I'm sorry, but I have to go and...visit someone. I'll be back by this time tomorrow. If not... that would be your choice. Please be safe while I am gone." She dipped her head and turned to flee the camp. Though her distance was much behind Jaypaw's, she didn't have to follow his tracks. "I'm sorry Sweetpaw, please report back to Gorsestar," she rushed to the apprenitnce as her gray figure passed by. She didn't have to try; she already knew. He was going to the RA. The bastered.

Gorsestar looked at the older Apprentice. "Yes Sweetpaw?" He looked into her eyes for a brief moment, and his sorrow was gone. He didn't know why, but her eyes made him happy. Gorsestar had been sad since Brambleshadow told him of Flame's death. Now the sadness was gone.

"Rosedancer, Jaypaw is gone!" Icerose mewed as she tried to wake her mentor from the deep sleep she was in."Rosedancer wake up!" Icerose's voice quavered for a second as she continued shouting her mentor's name. She can't be gone. She just can't. Her eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Rosedancer. This was the first time in weeks that Icerose felt this remorseful about losing a clanmate.Her thought flickered back to what Rosedancer had said earlier. She knew that she was going to die....she knew and never even bothered to tell me. SHe started shaking in fury and sadness. The only cat that cared for her was gone and now she was alone. Icerose gave her mentor a lick on the ear before padding out of the den in search for Gorsestar. She cleared her face of any emotion and padded up to Gorsestar."Gorsestar I have terrible news to report." the medicine cat mewed. Her voice was steady as she spoke her next words."Rosedancer hunts with Starclan now."

She nodded to what Icenose saide, "and Softheart went after Jaypaw. He headed to the mountain, Gorsestar." She looked up at him. He eyes glowed. Then turned her head, with ebrassment, "I tried to catch him, but I tripped and he got away."

Gorsestar nodded to both of the cats. "We must hold vigil for our Clan Mate. Thank you, Icerose and Sweetpaw." He was starting to sound stupid. Sweetpaw probably didn't even care for him. Yet a voice in his head wanted to prove him otherwise. Go to her. I am of no use to you dead. You must move on...
