A orange and yellow cat lay in the cave in the Great Scaymore. Her name, Brightriver, she blamed herself for Hazelpaw dying. She had gotten a message from Brightlight that Shadowheart was planning to take over all. She told Sunpelt, then she told Nightrain with Hazelpaw around. Hazelpaw found out, because of her. Brightriver was still alive, and Hazelpaw was not. Brightriver lifted her face to the sky and sang out, "When the stars are shining, and everything is old, StarClan shines, with the elgance of Hazelpaw in their midst. When the forest is rising, you can see her in shadows, even though she is shadowed an pained, you can see her, the killer of Hazelpaw. She lifts her face to the stars and cries out, 'I'm Alive! I'm Alive! I'm Alive!' "

"Come now Brightriver, it isn't your fault! Hazelpaw would have died if Shadowheart took over, and many more lives would have been lost as well. You have to understand that it isn't your fault! You'll never forgive yourself if you dont't!" Sunpelt pleaded, her heart pounding. She really wanted Brightriver to not blame it all on herself. It was Sunpelt's grandfather's fault, Shadowheart. He was the murderer. And Sunpelt was going to try and get Brightriver to understand that. "Brightriver, I am sure that Hazelpaw will go to Starclan a warrior, and that will be what she wanted. Your no killer. You know that. It hurts me too that Hazelpaw has died, but it has to be our little secret until the next Gathering. I am sure that they will announce her death." Sunpelt choked on her own tears.

"What do you know? It is my fault, Hazelpaw will blame me, she knew because of me. Even though I have no blood on my claws or teeth, I am a killer. It will be marked down, I am sure of it, and I will be hated because of it," Brightriver hissed, flatening her ears as close as she could to her head. She lashed her tail, vilontly. She knew it was her fault, all her fault. She hated being who she was she didn't want to live or die. "Sunpelt, I am now scared of dying, and living," Brightriver said shaking. She wanted to die, and then to be bannished.

"Brightriver, I know because I am Shadowheart's granddaughter. I know because I am Nightrain's kin. I know because I am Sunpelt. I know because I know you. You did what is best for the Clans. You did what you knew was right. Hazelpaw's death was her choice. She knew that she had to die one day. She chose to die for what she knew was right. She died for what she was taught to teach. She died for the warrior code. She died for her clan. She died for all clans. She died for 5 clans, not just four. Because Starclan is always with us. In our sleep, through our days, and in the worst battles. Starclan lead her. They told her that it was her destiny. You Brightriver, let Starclan speak to her. You are no murderer. You are the messenger. You are the one that saved us. You saved Hazelpaw and all the rest from Shadowheart's rein. You must understand Brightriver. You must understand."

Lynxmoon stalked down over to Brightriver and whispered "Don't be so down.. It is not your fault.." His blue eyes seemed to smiled at her. Lynxmoon swished on hers in confect. His tabby pelt was slicked back. He thought 'Nothing was her fault! Nothing! Hazelpaw did this on her/his own!" Lynxmoon stared up at the beautiful sky once more.

"Where is the old 'I hate you Brightriver! I want to whack your head off Brightriver!' Lynxmoon now? It's my fault, and it always will be," Brightriver said. Her fur was standing on end. Lynxmoon, the one cat she loathed so much for his ansestor, Skunkstripe betraying her ansestor, Brightlight for Peacheart, another she-cat. She did't belive Lynxmoon how Brigtlight died. She knew after Skunkstripe dumped her, she fell in love with a diffrent more loyal cat, though she could not remember his name. She did not kill herself! Skunkstripe may have, but Brightlight wouldn't have been that foolish enough to. "I might as well kill myself, get it over with, quickly and swiftly, not like any cat would care though," Brightriver growled.

(Wouldn't it be weird if that were Shadowheart? o.o I don't want to get into that... Too much conflict. Unless you want to. But I am not going to even bring that up. ^^; "Lynxmoon is right. (Hazelpaw is a girl) And we shouldn't spread this over all of Thunderclan. It is for Riverclan to settle out. You didn't kill Hazelpaw. She would have died if you hadn't said anything. Many more would have died. She voluntarily gave herself up for you! She voluntarily gave herself up for me! She voluntarily gave herself up for the warrior code! For life! For the fish of the River! For her leader! For Starclan above! For a bird fluttering by! For the greatest thing that one can imagine! She gave it up, not for mounds of prey. Not for power. Not for blood. But for love. She loves this world. She never wants chaos here. Hazelpaw was noble, young and naive, yet noble. She learned. She was ready. Hazelpaw was old enough to make her own decision."

"But, you don't understand it my way, it's my fault. I should kill myself right now, and be done with it," Brightriver said. She took out a sharp stick in the leaves. She looked at it, what should she do? Kill herself with it? It would be a quick and swift way to die. But then again, if she died Hazelpaw might see her, and that would be bad. But living was still bad, she knew what she had done, it was her fault. Choices, choices. What to do? Should she kill herself here and now? Get it over with? Let the cats take her body away, and burry it, to be forgotten? So many choices to choose. She might be in eternal torment with herself in StarClan. Not that she wasn't already right now.

"Brightriver, I can't choose your life for you. I can give you advice, but I refuse to beg. There are cats on this Earth that are your friends. That have no one else to look to. Brightriver, you choose your own fate. But would you rather be with Starclan, where you will feel like an outcast, because you refuse to listen to reason, or would you be here, where cats care about you? Would you walk the stars, to find that they are dull, and that the stars only shine from Earth? Would you walk with Starclan if I begged you to stay? That stick could kill you. You are no killer. You feel loss to Hazelpaw, as any witness of any death is horrible, but you have to understand Brightriver! I can't let you go! You and Fawnpaw are all I have on this Earth! If it weren't for you, I would kill myself right now, and fly with the heavens!"

He growled slightly. Why not let her kill herself? She deserved it! He shook his head, no, that could not happen! Circling around the two she-cats. He smiled at Brightriver. He then said "Sunpelt is right Brightriver! You have friends, and cats who love you! I... I.. I still love you!" He shook his head.. IF she wanted to die, let her die. His blue amber eyes stared at warmly, but coldly too. Paws had wounded this earth for centuries, and he wounded it now too.
((THanks sorreh I have been gone.. You know that Mike guy Sunneh? We are going out no! n_n))

"I suppose you do have a point Sunpelt. But I wouldn't stay for YOU Lynxmoon, at first I thought there might be something between us, but now there is a coldness in your eyes that wasn't there before. I cannot bare to look at you, it pains me to do so. I know you hate me, you want me to die, kill myself, let me die, and someday, maybe that coldness in your heart will take over, and kill me," Brightriver growled to Lynxmoon. She lashed her tail at him, she hated every hair on his body, every organ in his body. She hated him, loathed him. Lynxmoon was the very bane of her existance, Lynxmoon might kill her one day or another, as she had said. That was another reason she hated him. She backed away from him, staring into his eyes, seeing the coldness and hate burning in his eyes.
