    "He'll live, if that's what you mean," Amberclaw replied quietly."I think he just lost a life, is all."

    Tallstar nodded, then closed his eyes, "I.........I....................." he tried to get out, suddenly slamming his paw on the ground, hard.

    "You fought him, and almost killed him. Is that basically what you were trying to say?" Amberclaw meowed quietly, gazing sympathetically at Tallstar.

    "I NEVER MENT TO! I-I never wanted THAT to happen! I swear! I-I'd never intend to do that! I-It just......HAPPENED!" he wailed, his eyes flashing with grief and sorrow.

    "Calm down, Tallstar," Amberclaw meowed quietly."I know you didn't mean for that to happen." she quietly sat down by him.

    Tallstar bowed his head, "I......I.......I-I can't believe I let myself do that.........I......I never killed another cat before......." he lifted up one of his bloody paws, "I-I have blood on my paws........Blood from the cat that I m-murdered......!" he cried, his eyes wide and filling with tears.

    "Tallstar!" Amberclaw meowed, somewhat sternly, surprised at herself."You didn't murder anyone! He only lost a life, but he has more to spare!"

    Tallstar didn't look at her, "I-It was a life he didn't have to loose. I let my own selfish actions do it.... StarClan help me see that it isn't my fault.....I know it is." he whispered hoarsly to himself, turning to pad out of his den.


    Some of the windclan warriors were watching the den, confusion and worry in their eyes.

    Tallstar looked out of his den, "Tomorrow is the gathering. I'm half considering not going..." he mumbled, staring up at the darkening sky.


    The windclan warriors watched, more and more turning their heads and growing quiet.

    "Well," Amberclaw meowed quietly."Just do whatever you think is best." she smiled at him sympathetically, and went and laid down in her nest for the night.

    Tallstar nodded, "I'll come with you again tonight. I-If thats ok with you." he meowed quietly, his fur starting to lye flat.


    The windclan warriors all watched, the clearing silent.

    Amberclaw looked gratefully at Tallstar."Not this time, Tallstar," she meowed quietly."I can handle myself this time, and you need to recuperate from the battle, but thank you anyway. Maybe next time." she walked into the den, and laid down in her nest, and prepared to go to sleep.

    Tallstar nodded but didn't say anything.


    ooc: got to go for a while. i'll be back on at like 7:30 or so. see you soon!

    OOC: Yay! And I only have 23 minutes left, so could you at least stay on that long?


    IC: Amberclaw fell fast asleep after the day's events.

    ooc: sure! I'll be on for a while so.....

    The clearing was abandoned. smoke billowed around the trees.

    OOC: :)


    IC: Amberclaw looked around the clearing warily, as if she expected Tigerstar, or one of his lackeys to jump out at her.

    The bushes rustled and a small red tabby stepped out, his bright blue eyes shining. he was shortly followed by a large smokey tom and a tortoiseshell she cat.
