1x1 Kess and Gohtye.

[Kess]

"Now," Jadepool replied. Before he could say a thing she charged off into the woods.

[ragemonster]

Thorntooth

"Hey, wait up!" he yowled, pelting after her. His long legs worked furiously to catch up to the black cat, and he fell into step slightly behind her when he did.

[Kess]

Jadepool trotted ahead steadily. She had slowed down a bit to let Thorntooth catch up, but still was in a hurry. "I must get there as soon as possible," she meowed. Her voice was distant, hollow, and spooky.

[ragemonster]

Thorntooth

"Alright," Thorntooth meowed. Something in Jadepool's hollow voice had the fur on his neck rising, and he felt a pang of sadness, as he knew what probably caused it: He'd heard about Whiteberry's death, too.

[Kess]

Jadepool took longer strides and sped up. The faster she got there, the faster she could say what she needed to say to Whiteberry. Soon the two arrived at the Moonpool. "You stay out here," Jadepool growled. Not waiting for an answer she vanished into the Mooncave.

[ragemonster]

Thorntooth

The tom nodded once, sitting down on a rock close to the entrance. He'd wait patiently for Jadepool; he assumed she wouldn't be very long; the sun had set since they'd left camp and the moon was rising. It was almost full; there'd be a gathering in a few days' time.

[Kess]

Jadepool padde urgently up to the moonpool and whispered softly, "Whiteberry?" she took a sip of the water and fell asleep. Hopefully Whiteberry would not be angered...

[ragemonster]

Whiteberry

In StarClan's hunting grounds, Whiteberry felt the oddest tugging sensation. Turning to her mother, she meowed, "Frostpelt, something's... pulling me." Her mother's yellow eyes widened slightly, then narrowed to slits. "You're being summoned. Probably by that traitorous medicine cat... You don't have to go if you don't want to; you can ignore it." A warm breeze ruffled Whiteberry's fur; it was always newleaf here, the perfect temperature and hunting conditions. She sighed. "I'll go speak with her; it might be important." She nudged her mother's flank with her head affectionately before giving into the tugging sensation. When she reappeared, she was by the moonpool, and she gazed levelly at Jadepool as the she-cat waited for her. "Hello, Jadepool," she meowed.

[Kess]

Jadepool

Jadepool looked up guiltily at Whiteberry. "I'm...so sorry," she said, fighting her emotions. "I was not thinking when I gave you that squirrel. I...was...I was jealous. Jackalfur used to love me like he loved you. I couldn't bear to see him with another, not even one of my closest friends. My mind was distorted by envy and now it is twisted by guilt." the black medicine cat lowered her head, trembling. "Please forgive me, Whiteberry. I did not need or want to kill you."

[ragemonster]

Whiteberry

The white she-cat looked at Jadepool for a long time, the tip of her tail twitching back and forth. "I can't say I forgive you. You made a bad choice, and you'll have to live with it. But I'm not angry at you." A thought occurred to her. "Jackalfur loved me?" she asked, slightly startled. She'd began to love him, before she'd died, but she'd had no idea that he felt the same. "I didn't know," she meowed after a few seconds.
