Amberheart glared where Branchstar had been. "Branchstar pounced on you." She said flatly.

" I know that, did I jolt forward or anything when he left?" Branchstripe asked, eyes wide.

Amberheart nodded. "Why are you asking? You were right there!" She said.

Branchstripe shook his head. " Look what I've done!" Branchstripe yowled. He made Branchstar go away, look at the clouds over the moon! StarClan was angery, and it was his fault! " Look at the sky!" Branchstripe said, looking at the clouds.

Amberheart looked up. She sighed.

Windkit looked up at the sky. "The clouds covering the moon.... Branchstar," He said to himself, thinking it might be better to go back to Amberheart and Branchstripe.

" I did this!" Branchstripe moaned. " I'm so mouse-brained, I got mad and did this!" Branchstipe sighed, and started walking away.

Amberheart purred. "Its Starclan.." She murmered.

" Its StarClan.. Yes. But I upset them.. I .. " Branchstripe needed to just get away, what would Lionstar think? Would Mellowheart still kill him?
~~~
"Yes!" Mellowheart answered Branchstripe, ramming into him, still invisable.

Amberheart heard Mellowheart. "Hey!" She growled. "I can here you too!" She spat.

" Thank you Captain Obvious, but you can't see me." Mellowheart flitted around Amberheart, then jumped on Branchstripe.
~~~
Branchstripe gasped, he just wanted to get it over with. He hated all the brushes with death.. He wanted to live a good life with Amberheart, and then just got to StarClan peacefully. He knew that Branchstar wasn't gonna help.

Amberheart hissed. "Shut up Fox-dung!" She spat. Ashes flew near and revealed where Mellowheart was on Branchstripe. She pounced on the ash figure.

Mellowheart dodged. " Too slow." Mellowheart hissed, and shook the ash off, not being able to be seen again.
~~~
Branchstripe got up, and pounced at Mellowheart, who turned and smacked Branchstripe to the ground.
~~~
" So sure I won't help, I got you into this after all?" Branchstar appeared, and pounced at Mellowheart.

Amberheart grabbed Branchstripe by the scruff and pulled him off Mellowheart. She let go and panted. "Its Starclans battle." Shhe panted.

Branchstripe nodded and looked over at Mellowheart and Branchstar.
~~~
Branchstar bit into Mellowheart's neck, and Mellowheart fell flat, with a sickening thud.

Amberheart fliched.

Mellowheart didn't move. She was gone, for good.
~~~~
Branchstar walked toward Branchstripe, and Branchstripe jolted forward.

Amberheart felt tired.

Branchstripe shook his head, and looked at the clearing clouds.

Amberheart gazed at the clouds.

" We should be getting back." Branchstripe said, tired.

Amberheart nodded and stood up.

Branchstripe stood, and started the leading the way. His broken paw hurting more then ever.

Amberheart helped Branchstripe.

" Thanks." Branchstripe mumbled, and they finally reached the make-shift camp site.
