Lightpaw comforted herself with the last little bit of Lightface's words. 'Why?' There was a reason. There had to be. She rested her head on her paws as she pondered and thought about Starclan and their meanings. And how Minxpelt had died and how it had affected them all. She wondered and wished that she could see prophecies....She really did think that Minxpelt's death hadn't been in vain. She looked at Dragoneyes and saw almost the same amount of guilt that Lightface's eyes held. This was definitely not what Starclan wanted. Was it? She let her eyes fall on Minxpelt's closed eyes. She looked like she was sleeping, other than the never healed scratches and bloody backside, she would have guessed as much. She closed her eyes, not wanting to fall back into the overwhelming lake of greif once again.
((wow. I really wish that hadn't happened. >.< it's really messed us up. lol. oh well...I am not the only one that isn't part of the crew in Windclan am i? O.o))

((Yes... I never thought of that before.))
Smallstar looked at his deputy. Her grief must have been greater than Lightface's.

(( Yep. How many pages now have we done in grief-ness?))
Lightface looked around, and thought of something. "Um,Smallstar...Before Minxpelt had her apprentice ceremony...she was a bit...well, different and temper...." She paused. "Is she that way in StarClan, or has being there changed her somehow?"

"I think Minxpelt will always be Minxpelt. In StarClan or not" Smallstar said.

Despite her grief, Lightface managed a small chuckle. "StarClan will have their paws full..." She sat down, and put her nose to Minxpelt's cold, cold body. "Minxpelt...I'm sorry..." She still blamed herself, in an odd way. She knew she couldn't have done anything else, but, she felt she could've. Stopped her from moving, give her more herbs...She began to slightly rub off the remaining herbs, so she could smell Minxpelt's scent. She managed to, and began to slightly groom her.

((does anyone mind if there's just bit of a time leap? There's not much more to say about Minxpelt's death i dont think. I suggest just to tomorow, Minxpelts body is now buried and it's the next day just to move away from this part a little bit?))

(I vote yes. 3nodding )
Lightface, very tired from the vigil, went over to Smallstar, and mewed, "Um,Smallstar? Can..Can I please get some sleep?" She was amazed she had managed to stay awake. "I'm sorry, but I'm so tired.."

Dragoneyes sat by the entrance to the camp, her blank eyes looking into nothing. They had buried Minxpaw's body, and she was at rest at Starclan.
Sitting as still as a rock and not blinking, Dragoneyes was silently in agony from the guilt. Her head snapped up as she heard Lightface asking Smallstar if she could sleep. "Sleep? Sleep?!" Dragoneyes hissed. "How can you sleep knowing it was you who let her die?" Dragoneyes stalked out of camp, blinded by irrational anger. In the back of her mind, a little voice whispered 'But it was you who killed her, Dragoneyes. Don't punish Lightface for something she didn't do.'
Dragoneyes shook her head violently and broke into a run, not caring where she was going. She collapsed beneath a huge tree, panting heavily, her eyes wide. "Starclan forgive me..." she muttered, staring at the blue sky that hid the stars of the night sky.
((Woah, detail much? Heh.))

((And thank you for making Lightface sad again. 3nodding ))
Lightface turned and went away from Smallstar, tail drooping, unable to sleep. She thought about going after Dragoneyes, and decided agaisnt it. She thought it was true, it was her who let Minxpelt die, and she couldn't do anything agaisnt it. She gave a small sigh, and walked out of camp. She couldn't even lay down now, and gave up. She ran back to camp, as fast as WindClan is. She finally just gave a small mrrow of frustration and went to sit by Dragoneyes, in silence.

(( You do realize we're not in camp, right?))
Dragoneyes's eyes flicked towards Lightface and then went back to staring at the patch of grass in front of them. "I'm sorry I said that," Dragoneyes meowed slowly. "It wasn't your fault. If it's anyone's fault, it's mine."
Kneading the ground, Dragoneyes let out a small mrow of sad laughter.

Lightpaw was tired and wanted to sleep after the longest two days of her short life, but, the sad truth was, that life moved on and the clan needed fresh kill. She sighed worn out by all that had happened, but decided that now would be better than later. She padded out of the camp, shaking sad thoughts from her head and trying to clear her mind so she could focus. She didn't want to go far but she had been hunting near the cammp alot lately so she would be close incase they needed her and she knew that if she hunted there much more there would be no prey around camp.
She went out downwind, about halfway between the Windclan camp and the Shadowclan border, before she stopped. The cold wind was less here and she didn't really feel like passing by Minxpelt's grave on the moor anyway. She let her head hang for a moment but lifted it when she heard the softest scuttle.
When Lightpaw started to walk back towards camp she was exhausted. She had only caught two mice and a squirrel, but it was better than nothing. She was lucky that she was so light on her feet because she would have went tumbling on more than one occasion during her walk back. She caught one more small mouse on the way and was a little more satisfied. Of course all the mice were pretty scrawny. It was leafbare, but as long as she had something to bring back to the clan she was happy. She walked into the Windclan camp sleepily as she dropped off her prey on the fresh kill pile. As she headed toward the apprentice's den she touched her nose to Smallstar's shoulder respectfully and said, "Wake me if..." She left the last part open there was an infinite amount of possiblities that could happen. She learned that from the past two days.

(( We aren't? Oops...)
Lightface shook her head. "No. None of us prevented it, no one could've stopped it." She licked her paw. "Especially you, Dragoneyes. You fought well, and protected Minxpelt. I...I let my guard down, it's true, but I doubt now that I still could've stopped her from moving."

She left the last part open there was an infinite amount of possiblities that could happen. She learned that from the past two days. Smallstar just nodded and dismissed her with a flick of his tail. After she had gone into the apprentice den, he turned to walk to his own den. As he turned, he put to much pressure on his bad paw and fell. He managed to contain a cry that would wake up the whole camp and limped back into his den. Normally WindClan cats slept under the stars, close to their ancestors, but it was an especially cold leaf-bare so all of the cats slept inside their respective dens. He staggered over to his small nest and was ungracefully-due to his leg-plopped down into it. He was asleep before he hit the moss.
Smallstar's dream was filled with distorted memories of the past few weeks. It started out with hunting with Lightpaw, and then running into a lion-sized dog in the middle of WindClan territory that then turned into Minxpelt. Then Mousepelt and Diamondpelt appeared and took her away to the stars that seemed especially bright. Dragoneyes was then looking down from them and saying to Lightface that it was Lightface's fault. Smallstar told her to stop acting like a kit and then walked away with Lightpaw. He woke up in a cold sweat.
