1x1 Kess and Gohtye.

[Kess]

Jadepool

Jadepool nodded reluctantly. "He loved you more than he loved anything," she meowed, breaking off with spit: "More than he loves himself, which is incredible."

Whiteberry

Whiteberry stared at the she-cat for a long moment. Finally, she meowed, "I never knew. To think I could have had something with him..." she trailed off. "You took that from me," she said quietly, sitting down with her white tail wrapped around her paws. Her eyes held no anger; only a bitter sadness at all she'd missed. She continued before Jadepool could reply, "But like I said, I am not mad at you. Just... disappointed. Do me a favor? Don't steal any other cats' future from them, Jadepool. And tell Jackalfur... that I love him." The last part was a whisper, but she knew Jadepool could hear it.

[Kess]

Jadepool

Pure regret washed off Jadepool in waves. "I'm sorry," she said in a whisper. "I was...I was wrong. And jealous." She looked up at Whiteberry, wishing there was something she could say. "If I could go back in time, I would have stopped myself. I was a fool. Whiteberry, I will never do this again, or let anything bad happen to your father or Jackalfur." She took a deep breath and stood up. Then, padding ever so nervously towards Whiteberry, she gingerly touched her nose to the white she-cat. "I hope StarClan has mercy on me someday," she meowed softly. "Though I don't deserve it at all." Then she turned to go.

Jackalfur

Jackalfur's ears flattened. He stared down at the body of Whiteberry, still oozing blood from her mouth. "How could Starclan do this to me?" He screeched. "How could they take her from me?" He tried to stand up, but there was a violent tearing sound and he fell back to the ground with a howl. The medicine cat apprentice rushed to his side and peeled away the layers of cobweb. Something trickled down Jackalfur's side and he noticed Berrypaw flinch as she looked at his wound. It must be bad, Jackalfur thought. I'd take more than that wound to get Whiteberry back...

Berrypaw

Berrypaw dashed to Jackalfur's side with a squeak of fear. What had happened? She'd heard that awful tearing noise, and she was afraid he'd caused more skin to rip. When she peeled off all the cobwebs, his wound had torn all the way down his spine. She gasped in revoltion. She could LITERALLY see his rib bone!

[ragemonster]

Whiteberry

The she-cat held still as Jadepool walked hesitantly up to her, touching noses, promising she'd take good care of Jackalfur and Thistlefoot for her. "Please do," she meowed quietly, "And only time will tell. You might be able to repent for what you've done... but I'm not the one that decides that." With that said, she closed her eyes and felt herself fading away, becoming real again in StarClan's hunting grounds.

Thorntooth

The tom yawned, stretching out on one of the many rocks surrounding the moonpool. He wondered idly what Jadepool needed to see so badly that they had to rush out of camp. He hadn't minded, of course, but he was very curious. Was she speaking with Whiteberry?

[Kess]

Jadepool

Jadepool awoke violently with a pain dulling in her chest. She stood up, struggling not to whimper, and turned to leave.

[ragemonster]

Thorntooth

Thorntooth waited patiently outside the moonpool, his tail tip twitching back and forth as he waited for Jadepool.

[Kess]

Jadepool padded quietly out of the moonpool. She lashed her tail to Thorntooth and walked on.

[ragemonster]

Thorntooth

Thorntooth was surprised when Jadepool lashed her tail at him when she came out of the cave, her face revealing nothing. He merely shrugged and followed behind her, keeping his distance but staying close enough to protect her if he needed.

[Kess]

Jadepool

Jadepool's green eyes were flat and hollow as she trudged back to camp. Before they entered, she turned to Thorntooth abruptly and growled, "Now you and your siblings must go sit silent vigil. Thank you for the escort. I will notify your brothers and sisters." She turned around and padded calmly to the leader. "Reedstar, I have returned from the Moonpool. I have commanded Thorntooth to begin his vigil. I trust you will tell the others."

Reedstar

Reedstar stared at his daughter in disbelief. Her voice was distant, commanding, and harsh. "Are you alright, Jadepool?" he asked curiously. "You seem different -" She walked away before Reedstar could say more. Reedstar stared after her for a moment, then sighed and turned to go find the new warriors. After he'd told each of them, he padded up to Sandpelt. "I know a sad thing happened today, but we need patrols. After you organise the hunting parties and the border patrols, gather the elders and have them prepare and bury Whiteberry."

Berrypaw

Berrypaw looked up as Jadepool padded into the den. "Jadepool," she sobbed. "It happened so fast! It was so awful! I felt...so helpless..." She stared into her mentor's eyes, hoping to find the same calm, reassuring look that the medicine cat always carried, but there was only a cold, emotionless stare. Berrypaw backed away. Her mentor looked almost...ferocious. The black she-cat brushed past Berrypaw without a word. The young cat stared after her, confused.

Fallenbranch

Now that Fallenbranch had not an apprentice any longer, what would she do all day? She had always been training her apprentice. Hopefully, she'd get one of Fluffwhisker's seven kits. She twitched her ears sadly as she realized that two eventful things had happened today: the birth of seven new kittens and the death of a beautiful young she-cat. Whiteberry had been very close to her always, and now she was gone.

Mistpaw

Mistpaw padded up to Harefoot. "What happened? Why is everyone yelling out Whiteberry's name? Is she missing?" Her blue eyes were wide and innocent. She had no idea what had taken place only an hour ago.

Fluffwhisker

Fluffwhisker looked down at her kits happily. She'd never guessed that she would have this many kits. As she stared down at them, she noticed one, Thrushkit, was not moving. "Thrushkit?" she meowed worriedly. Was the kit fast asleep? She nudged it, but the little tom didn't move. "Fallownose! Jadepool! Berrypaw! Thrushkit isn't breathing!"

Brightsky

Brightsky touched her nose to Thistlefoot's cheek. "I'm sorry," she murmured. "I am so very sorry for the loss of Whiteberry." She thought for a moment how sad she would be if her daughter, Sandpelt, or son, Harefoot, died. She shook herself, hoping that wouldn't happen while she was alive. She stared at Thistlefoot in sympathy.
