Oceankit giggled and sneezed as his tail brushed her nose. The tiny she-kit had to laugh at his playful nature. "Hi Deathblow!" she mews the words and rolls off of him. She bounced around the tom and laughed. "Momma wants you to go hunting with her. So I woke you up for her," she says seeming proud of her task.
Glowingeyes stood nearby. Her eyes filled with amusement at the two cats.
Blackstar smiled, as the warm bright sun shone on his fur. Oceankit is cute! Blackstar thought.
OOC: I'll be somewhat inactive
Deathblow purred. "She did?" He smiled. "Well then, It appears I have some business to take care of with your mom" He winked. He turned to Glowingeyes and chuckled. "What an adorable kit!" He said. His voice was cheerful and happy, unlike all the other times when he spoke to someone. It would be a dull blank voice, or angry or sad. He never would talk happy after his mate died. "So, shall we hunt?" He smiled, giving his one in a blue moon smile. This smile was when he liked someone, and how he showed it to them.

Heartedgold padded over to Blackstar, eyes full of worry. "Blackstar, something urgent has come up. May I speak with you in private" She asked, eyes darting around in all directions. Fear shot through her and trickled up her spine, sending her shaking. "I have.....news" She hissed under her breath to him. It was a horrible time for this to come up. The day was perfect, bright and sunny, warm and cozy.
Glowingeyes smiled and curled her tail around to cover her mouth. Her glowing blue eyes sparkling at him. "We shall," she says warmly as she circles him. Tracing her tail under his chin before slipping away from the tom. She slips out of the camp and waits just outside the entrance.
Oceankit watched them both go and laughs softly. Her mom seemed like such a kit now.
Deathblow began to purr deeply. He chased her out of camp. He had never felt so happy in his life! The only thing that was keeping him from falling in love, was the terrifying thought of his mate's death.
--
Whisperbreeze came from the skies and mounted in his mind. "I may be your mate, and I may be dead, but that does not mean, you can't fall in love again"
Glowingeyes smiled as soon as he left the camp. Her eyes warm and bright as always. Yet, it was a new warmth. The white she-cat pads along and looks back at him. She decided to play a game with him this time. She brushed her pelt along a branch and then ran again. Leaving her scent on everything she passed. She finally came to a stop on the shore line.
Deathblow felt a feeling that he hadn't thought was still there, come up and knock on his heart. Then, gripped it tightly, making him seem to fall head over heels. He tripped and landed in front of Glowingeyes on his back. He laughed and sat up, brushing the sand off his pelt. When he turned his head, his nose touched hers. He blushed and backed up. "Sorry" He meowed.
Glowingeyes felt her pelt heat up and looked down at her paws. "Don't be," she mews softly as she tilts her head to the side. Her eyes shimmering with warmth. "So fish or mice today?" she asks seeming suddenly shy.
"I don't care" He purred. He looked deep into her eyes and saw something. His heart sped up and his voice cracked now and then from nervousness. "How about fish?" He suggested. Deathblow sat down to lick some sand from his foot. He sat back up and accidentally brushed up against her. He blushed again but harder. "Umm, Glowingeyes? Can I talk to you?" He asked. "Like, in a place only I know about?" He asked. He started into her eyes, his own shining with love.
"Sure," she mews warmly to the tom. Glowingeyes felt her own heart beat faster and she smiled softly. Brushing against him, she circles him loosely. "Lead the way hun," she adds warmly as she stands next to him. Her white fur almost glowing now.
Deathblow purred. He padded off towards the curve of the lake. He crawled into a mossy cave and brushed through a dirt tunnel. The tunnel opened up into a large stone cavern, with a river running through the left side into the wall. He walked over to were a large place of roses curled around a mossy bed was sitting on a ledge. He sat on the left and helped Glowingeyes onto the other side. He picked up a ruby from under the nest and hid it under his paw. "Glowingeyes, ever since you brought that kit back, I realized that you would be a perfect mother to any kit. And I also found out that a mother can't be a mother without...the father, and you would need a mate with that....I love you Glowingeyes and I was wondering if you would do me the honor of being my mate?" He asked, showing the ruby to her.
Glowing eyes followed him around the curve of the lake. Entering the mossy cave after him, her eyes wide with awe at the place. She exits the dirt tunnel and shakes the dust from her pelt. After getting a good look at the amazing place, she followed him over to the nest. He helped her up and she sat next to him. Grooming her fur she paused to listen to the deputies words. Her jaw drops at the sight of the ruby and her heart flutters at his question. "I would be honored to be your mate," she mews as a deep purr escapes her.
Deathblow brushed forwards and licked her ear. "You just made my day" He purred. His heart beat slower and softer now. His heart used to belong to his sister to protect her, but now it belonged to Glowingeyes.

Heartedgold lapped up some poppy-seeds. She had a bad stomach ache and head-ache. As soon as she ate them, she began to stumble around. She managed to hit the center of camp before falling over and starting to freak out. Blood seeped from her leg. A water-snake hissed and slithered away. Rain started to fall, soaking into Heartedgold's fur.
Oceankit pads about until she sees the she-cat fall. Watching the snake slither away she freaks out. Her paws carry her to the she-cat. "Get up! Heartedgold!" when she realized there was nothing she could do her fear over took her. "Mommy!" she screeched in terror.
Glowingeyes purred at her mates touch when a noise reached her. Her ears twitch and her head snaps around. Her entire look changing. "Oceankit!" her voice was a growl as she jumped swiftly to her paws. Her fur standing on end as her motherly instincts took over. "My baby is in trouble," she snarls as she flies off the ledge and races from the cavern. She wanted to stay, but this was her daughter.
Deathblow shot after her like a rocket. His paws cascaded into bushes, ferns, roots, but he kept going. His claws hooked into a branch and he flung himself from his position. He landed near Oceankit. He gasped as he saw his sister laying on the ground, shaking violently, black goo forming in a bubble over a bite wound. He felt fear incase him as he realized it was a snake bite. He crouched beside her and began to suck the poison from her veins. He spat it out and rinsed his mouth with berries. He pressed on her stomach to get rid of any access venom.
Glowingeyes was already in the camp standing over her kit. Fear and anger flooding her body. She watched her mate with sad eyes. This was his sister after all. She sprang to his side with no effort at all. "Can you tel me what to give you for snake bites? Come on Rain.."
"I...I don't know what to do," He admitted. He began to frantically work on her body. She was slowly slipping away every second farther and farther away.....Deathblow sat on his haunches and collapsed on his side coughing from working so hard and fast. He pricked his ears when he heard someone press from the bushes to his side.
--
A white pelt with black ears and gray paws sat there beside him. He began to slowly shake his head and started to cry. "S...Softwhisper?" He whispered. The she-cat nodded, and as soon as she did, 2 kits trotted to her side and took a place beside her. Deathblow began to think he was hallucinating from the venom but realized, she was real. He looked down at his dying sister. "Can..Can you help her?" He begged.
--
Softwhisper just gave a mere nod before getting to work on Heartedgold.
Glowingeyes looked at her mate seeming confused. Then she did what she felt best. Moving swiftly, she was beside Heartedgold. She lay next to the she-cat and snuggled herself into her back. Holding her close by curling her head around the medicine cats neck. She purred faintly to the she-cat as she lay with her. "Hang in there. I wont leave you. No one deserves to face this dark alone.." Her voice was soothing and filled with love.
------
Oceankit sprang over and sat next to the she-cat. Her left paw placed on Heartedgold's own paw. She closes her eyes and starts to hum a soft tune.
------
Glowingeyes looked at her daughter and smiled. The tune was one she had taught her daughter years ago. "Sing my angel.."
------
"Princess, Princess, why do you cry?
In a forest dark as night.
I crossed a powerful being,
and fear that I will never be saved,
from the power of his blade.
Princess, Princess, why do you laugh?
Behind a veil of tears.
My mother swore to me,
She will guard my soul,
And keep my future whole.
Princess, Princess, Why are you scared?
In the path of light.
I hear the cries of lost souls,
Lost from the path they were never shown,
Unlike me on the path I've grown," Oceankit sings the song softly as she closes her eyes.
OOc: Major recap please
[hr]
Blackstar could hear Oceankit's soft but sad singing. The massive black leader lowered his head onto his big paws, closing his eyes. Oceankit looks like Glowingeyes...but I'm not going to judge her loyalty, this kit must be a gift of Starclan! I must make sure she grows up well. I will rest down all of my lives to save this somewhat angelic kit! For she is part of Oceanclan!
Heartedgold's fur grew colder.

Deathblow hung his head.
