"Good shot," she said with a nervous smile. She was afraid she wouldn't be able to do it, but she forced herself to think otherwise.

She tried her best to shoot, and she shot, it landed a few inches from the heart of the target. She frowned. "I'm never going to be able to do this," she muttered.

"Good job," she purred in an encouraging tone. Then she sighed. "He's unhappy with us because he wants his freedom. I would be the same way if I were cooped up in a camp, knowing that some day soon I would be forced to bear kits."

She smiled a bit. "I bet you're just trying to cheer me up. You're great at bow and arrows."

"I've tried to be as friendly as possible, but maybe he needs a young spirit like you to cheer him up. And yes, healers can have kits, just as long as our apprentice takes over for a little while while until ourkits are novices, but there can be more than one healer as well. So when I have kits, as long as you have learned enough, you will become healer along with me. And you will train our novice when my kittens are four moons old," she meowed. "But enough with my lectures for today. Yes, you can talk to him."

"But I'm not going to be able to hunt. And, if everyone else knows how to use weapons properly, I don't have a good chance of making it out of bloodbath. And even if I get good at bow and arrow, what if they don't have any at the cornicopia?" she muttered.

She sighed. "But when it gets down to the last four... we should split up. I don't want it to come down between the two of us. But sure, alliance sounds like a good idea," she murmured with a small smile. She held out her hand, waiting for him to shake on the alliance.

Rainwater purred at the kit. "Hello, Sapphire. Would you like to help me sort out some herbs? I'll give you a honeycomb afterwards, I know how much you young cats love honey."

She smiled. "So do you know any other skills, besides skills with weapons involved?" she asked.

Rainwater purred. "I bet you'll love it when we get new arrivals. You'll have to watch over them and protect them when they're less than two moons old, but after that you can play together," she meowed, leading the kitten to her den.

Rosemary sighed and sat ontop of the large rock that she used for tribe meetings. "Cats of the Lillies, please gather around Lily Rock to hear what I have to say!" she yowled.

Rainwater sat outside of her den, waiting for Rosemary to start.

~~~

Rosemary waited for the tribe to gather around.

"I know about herbs that will help givee you a bit of protein," she sighed. "But that's all.
"

Rainwater purred as she saw Lillybud and Regun actually... talking. She was happy seeing her apprentice being kind to a prisoner.

~~~

"Cats of the Lillies... I have decided that our prisoners... they will become warriors. No more prisoners! Unless, of course, we are attacked. So, Regun, will you please step forward?" she meowed.

Rosemary nodded, understanding his confusion. "Rainwater has had a sign. She persuaded me last sunset to dismiss this tribe law. And I have decided that we all need our freedom. I'm sure you will all agree. But, if any of you try to attack us or harm us in any way, we will go back to the prisoner law," she meowed.

~~~

Rainwater purred, she was very glad that Rosemary had listened to her. Now everything would be fine. No more conflict. No more sadness. Everycat would be equal. She nodded her head toward Regun.

"You will not have to kill any of us, this is not a trick. I swear on my life, you are now an official member of The Lillies," she meowed, dipping her head, which is what the tribe did when a cat was made a warrior of the tribe.

~~~

Rainwater dipped her head and yowled, "Regun! Regun!"

Sasha had a nightmare. In the nightmare, she and Raven were walking through the woods and suddenly, out of no where, a knife flew by Raven's head and hit Sasha in the stomach. She clutched her stomach, gasping, staring at Raven, eyes wide. Raven didn't see it. He kept walking, and eventually disappeared into the mist. Sasha was left there, in the middle of the woods, dying.
Sasha opened her eyes, breathing heavily. "it was just a dream", she murmured to herself in a stern voice.

She listened intently, taking a mental note in her head that Nightlock would probuably be in the arena, it could be used as a suicidal herb if it got to that point.
