OCC//this is after the battle!
/In this farewell,
There's no blood, there's no alibi./
Icewhisper padded to the river and sat on the overhaning rock that she loved to sit on. Her heart felt lighter than it had in moons. Blackfire forgave her for meeting with Brambleheart! And what's more, he still loved her.
She gazed down at the swiftly flowing river, watching it rush endlessly past. She thought that life couldn't get any better than this.
The bushes behind her rustled, and she turned her head to look who it was. Her heart leaped with happiness when she recognized the black cat.
/'Cause I've drawn regret
for the truth of a thousand lies./

Blackfire was dragging his paws with every step he took. His eyes were down cast, and his ears flat aginst his skull. Icewhisper had asked him to meet her here, and he wasn't sure what he would tell her. While on one hand, his best friend needed him, on the other, he loved Icewhisper. So how would he explain what Bloodfire had asked of him? Sighing, he looked up at the she-cat, perking his ears, and trying his hardest to look happy, while in his mind, a war raged on.

/So let mercy come,
And wash away.../
Icewhisper stared at Blackfire. Something was wrong. She padded down from her rock and pressed against him.
"What's the matter?" she whispered. "I can tell something's wrong." She nosed his shoulder gently. "It's all right, you can tell me. Remember, no matter what it is, I will still love you..." And she really meant it.
/What I've done!
I'll face myself, to cross out what I've become.../ |

When you walk away.
You don't hear me say please.
Oh baby,
Blackfire licked the top of Icewhisper's head, feeling the warmth of her touch on his flank. Shivers ran down his spine. How could he leave her? But what about Bloodfire? He was in danger.... Sighing, Blackfire pulled away from the she-cat. "I-I'm l-leaving." He whispered, barely audible. His voice broke as the words stung his tongue. He didn't look her in the eye, just glanced around, trying to avoid her reaction, if she had even heard him.
don't go.
Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight.
It's hard to let it go. |

/Erase myself,
And let go of what I've done!/
Icewhisper stared straight ahead in shock. How could he be leaving his Clan? His apprentice? How could he be leaving her?
"Blackfire! But why?" she asked him, pulling away and trying to catch his eye. "Are you leaving for good?" she asked, her voice quavering.
/Put to rest
What you thought of me,/ |

You're giving me too many things
Blackfire shook his head. "I don't know how long I'll be gone. Maybe a moon. Maybe longer. But, I have to do this. I'm sorry." He said softly. His pelt bristled with unease. He pushed his muzzle into hers, whispering in her ear. "I'm sorry. I promise I'll come home when my task is done. Besides, I want to see my kits being born." He said, so softly that the wind carried his words like a feather.
Lately you're all I need oh no.
You smiled at me and said, |

/While I clean this slate,
With the hands of uncertainty...
Icewhisper froze. "What are you talking about, Blackfire?" she asked.
Then a wave of determination washed over her. "I'm coming with you!" she declared.
/So let mercy come,
And wash away.../ |

Blackfire shook his head quickly. "No! You can't!" He argued, his ears flattening against his skull protectivly. "I'm not risking your life!" He growled authoritivly.

/What I've done!
I'll face myself,/
"You have no power over me, Blackfire!" she hissed. "And if you won't let me come, I'll follow you!"
She didn't want to start up their fight again, but she would not be left behind.
/To cross out what I've become!
Erase myself, and let go of what I've done!/ |

Blackfire shook his head. "You ca-" He stopped mid-sentence. He knew argueing with the she-cat would cause another fight. That wasn't something he would want to remember. Sighing, Blackfire thought about it. How could he get away from camp without the she-cat coming after him? A patrol, maybe? He was due to leave tomorrow, and a patrol would be just the disguise! "Fine. You can come. I'm leaving in two days. We'll sneak out at midnight, when the moon is hidden." He reasoned. His pelt pricked at the thought of the she-cat following him.

/I start again,
And whatever pain may come.../
Icewhisper was taken aback by his quick acceptance, and her pelt prickled as she imagined him plotting something else. Even though it pained her to do so, she was determined not to get left behind, and even if that meant following Blackfire wherever he went, that was what she would do.
"Okay Blackfire. Two days at moonhigh." she agreed. Then after hesitating for a second, she murmered, "You know that I love you, and I'm only acting out of concern for your safety. And I will always love you. No matter what. I want you to remember that for as long as you live.
/Today this ends,
I'm forgiving what I've done!/ |

Blackfire sighed in defeat. "I know. I love you too. that's why I don't want you coming. But, i have Dawn patrol in the morning, so i need to get some sleep." he meowed, yawning. he truely was tired, after teaching Silverpaw and then going on Hunting patrol. It was late now, with stars overhead. "Let's get to camp."

/What I've done!/
Icewhisper purred, and pressed against Blackfire. "Okay, Let's go." she meowed. Then, with the black tom padding by her side, she set off back to the FogClan camp.
/Forgiving what I've done!/ |
