She shook her head "im sorry I can't." She met his eyes this time, they were wide but dull and tearful, she shook her head knowing the rouges would laugh if she showed any sign of weakness, she walked off half expecting half dreading blood star to follow her.
Gustyfoot began behaving in unlike gustyfoot way, she clawed at the grass and raked the trees taking all her emotions out on nature

Blacksky went back over to her kits. Shade looked at Blacksky. "Can I go out of camp? Please?"
"No, Shade."
"Why not? You can."
"I'm a warrior."
"The apprentices can."
"They're in training."
"So?"
"You're too young. You're not strong enough yet."
Shade frowned.

Bloodstar hadn't followed, but Teardrop, his son, had. He watched in terror as she raked her claws through trees and everything. He stepped out of a bush. "What in StarClan's name has happened?" He must've been really scared. Being Bloodstar"s son, he was always taught that StarClan should never be spoken of.

Gustyfoot collapsed to the ground shivering

"Gustyfoot!" He ran over to her. "What's wrong? Are you hurt? Sick? What should I do?!"

"I'm fine..... I just need.... Time." A tear rolled out of her eyes

"You aren't fine. What's wrong, Gustyfoot? Don't make me go get Nightstone."

"Just spirit whispers death it was so sudden." There was more to it then that but she was half telling the truth, so she wasn't lying right?

"There's more than that." He said, scanning her eyes.

"I'm fine that's it." She said

Teardrop narrowed his eyes.

Gustyfoot got up, her legs buckled but she managed to stand

"I'm figuring out what happened, whether you like it or not."

Fliptail tackled Lightningpaw, which took her by surprise. Lightningpaw slashed him in the face, but it had no effect. "What the??"
Fliptail smirked. He slashed at Lightningpaw's face until she was knocked out.

Gustyfoot heard someone in her head 'lightning paw.' She stiffened, "teardrop I need you to come with me, I think lightningpaw's in trouble."

"So now I'm weak?"
"That's not what I said," Blacksky said. "Tell me, if a badger found you, could you kill it?"
"Yep."
"You overestimate yourself."
"I don't think I do," Shade shrugged. "I could take down anything that attacked me."
Blacksky sighed

Teardrop nodded.

Shadeheart went to sleep. Twigleap was taking care of his kits. He had just told them that their mother was dead, not asleep. Soon, he drifted into a dream, and was in front of Weatherstep. She sang, "She died at my paws, in vivid red in my eyes. It was never painful enough. I should have ripped her scruff. A heart like a deer and a face like a trout, I don't see what your love for her was about? I am your blue rabbit, not a fish or a trout, which were my kits, not hers. I am only yours, why can't you be the same? Someone took you away from me, so why should I.... keep you... alive....?!" Weatherstep stepped forward again. "You will die just like her, in my paws, are your fur. I have no heart, so I will just take your's..." Weatherstep darted at Shadeheart. Jaws collided with throats, Weatherstep's jaws, Shadeheart's throat. "They told me I shouldn't envy her. I don't. Because her precious little mate has been snatched from her. Twice. I'd kill you here and now if it meant that you would be away from her. But I'll let you suffer living without the ugly blue rabbit and the pretty one. I guess now rabbits do eat cats, is that right?" Worry and angst filled Shadeheart's eyes. Would she touch his-
"No kits deserve to die, even if they are the product of an ugly she-cat and a traitor." She slid her claws away. Then she slammed a paw down on his ribcage. She was a different cat now.

Gustyfoot suddenly collapsed, again, "i think she'll be fine." She said to teardrop coughing away tears, she had always had a connection with weather step and she knew something was wrong. Pain tingled in her stomach, she looked at it; it was bleeding?!
Her star on her neck glowed but it wasnt a good feeling, it hurt!
Gustyfoot gasped words out "weatherstep........no!"

At the same moment Shadeheart awoke with a burst of pain in his stomach. He was wounded, but not bad.

Fliptail dragged Lightningpaw on his back. Blood drooled out of Lightningpaw's mouth, leaving a trail of blood.

Gustyfoot twitched, now her neck was bleeding?! Not badly but bleeding,

Fliptail hid her in a tree trunk.

He writhed, his neck burning.

"What the heck....?"she tried to stand but fell "teardrop?!" She began to panic, "help."

Thunderpaw saw Gustyfoot and the rest. "Oh, man."
