"Any word or orders, Eclipsedstar?" Trueeyes asked, glancing back and forth between his leader and Blackheart.
Eclipsedstar looked at Trueeyes with empathy. He knew his Shadowclan father well. The tabby wanted to keep himself occupied because battle made him so nervous due to all of his past losses, and because he found no respite in sleeping with the dreams that haunted him.
"Why don't you go hunting? Or go training with Greypaw and Timbermoon? If you want to, you can work on moves here in camp. It's not too crowded. Either that, or you can check the boundaries. Right now, I have a lot to think about..." The Shadowclan leader trailed off.
Trueeyes let out a long sigh and then glanced at Timbermoon, wondering if his fellow warrior was interested in any of Eclipsedstar's suggestions.

Blackheart raised an eyebrow to her leader then glanced at Timbermoon and Trueeyes then back at her leader. She then got the sence that she was back and she was a warrior now. Nothing more nothing less. She looked at her leader and felt the past comming back. She was only a warrior. She had warrior duties and she had to eat something!
She then gave a silent sigh and mewed, "I'm..gonna go to the medicien cats den to get checked up with my cuts..I can still feel thorns in my fur.." She then made a face about the thorns and got up and padded to the medicine cats den with out a look back at her leader knowing he night want some time to himself for a bit now..
She did have other things to tell him but they werent that important to really say. She just knew that she was going to have to go hunt for her own food now and fight in battles now. She was home andshe had to get back into the swing of things.

Timbermoon's tail flicked as he considered their options.
"Why don't we go give Greypaw a lesson in hunting?" Timbermoon suggested, and Greypaw's eyes lit up. Finally, she could learn to be productive in her Clan. She could learn to hunt. Timbermoon purred at her enthusiasm. He liked eager apprentices.
Willowleaf came out of the medicine clearing, and spotted Blackheart padding towards her.
"Let us see to your cuts. I would not see them infected," Willowleaf greeted her, and beckoned with her silvery tail for the long lost warrior to follow her into her clearing.

Blackheart greeted her back with a smile and did as she was told. She then stopped for a second and paued, wanting to look back at her leader but she gave a sigh and felt her stomach growl. She was growing skinny. She then looked up at the sky and then back to the medicine cats den and could care less if she gave her anything that stung on her fur/skin.
She then padded into the den and sat down waiting quietly for orders on what to do.

Eclipsedstar disappeared into his den momentarily and came back out again. He picked up a piece of prey and glanced at Blackheart. He still couldn't take his eyes off of her...it was hard to believe she was back. He half expected her to vanish again, just like she was never back. He glanced down at the fresh kill pile again and selected a better piece of prey and padded over to Willowleaf. "How is she? There's no infection, is there?"
Trueeyes smirked. Half of him wanted to swat Eclipsedstar for fussing over Blackheart so much, and half of him knew exactly how his leader felt. He sighed again and looked back at Timbermoon, realizing that he had been lost in thought. "Sounds great!" he meowed. "The fresh kill pile is looking a bit low anyways." The tabby fixed his bright and large green eyes on his leader. "We're taking Greypaw out hunting!" he called, padding towards the camp exit.

Blackheart's ear witched at hearing Eclipsedstar padd over. She kept her eyes on her medicine cat and then mewed, "Check Eclipsedstar first..he needs it more then i do.." She was learning the ways of the warrior code again. Not like she ever forgot them. She knew that you should always put the clan first.

Eclipsedstar felt a chill go through his body as Blackheart insisted that he get checked first. He hadn't yet told Willowleaf that he had lost another life- already his second in his short time as leader. He sighed. He knew he shouldn't feel so badly about losing lives, but he felt that he was letting his clan down somehow, or that he was weak. He lowered his head. "I lost another life to a fox when I found Blackheart." he mumbled under his breath.

Blackheart felt the tears come to her eyes but still didnt look at her leader. Starclan please no..not now.. she thought in her head. She then closed her eyes but tried to not let one fall. It seemed he was goingto be gone before she knew it. She looked at willowleaf and waited to hear what she had to say. She didnt want to believe it. She wanted to race out of the den and back into the woods and hope that fox did eat her. Yet she stayed where she was. She felt her heart beat faster then ever. Dont leave me yet Eclipsedstar..please just stay here..please...

Willowleaf's eyes widened, suddenly filled with the memory of blood gushing from his neck, and how she had been unable to save his first life. With a sharp inhale, she managed to calm herself, her neck fur flattening again. She touched her silvery tail to his shoulder.
"You died saving a member of your Clan. You still have seven left to lead with," she meowed, keeping her voice steady. She moved forward to examine him. She niffed lightly over his fur, but found only minor scratches, sicne the fatal blow by the fox had been healed by StarClan. Padding past him to her herb supply, she pulled marigold out carefully with her paw, laying them out in front of her, then she licked her paw, allowing a few poppy seeds to stick to it.
She shook the seeds out in front of Blackheart and Eclipsedstar, and then turned back to the marigold, chewing up the leaves, then applying them to the worst of their scratches to keep out infection.
"You two ought to get some rest, and then you can make up for lost time," she meowed firmly, a knowing gleam in her blue eyes.

Blackheart was out of it. She was lost in thought and couldnt stop thinking about her journey here..and jag, with what he did to her. She wanted to tell her leader, her love, her life, but he didnt need to know about him at all. Blackheart didnt move a whisker when she put the marigold on her. She could really care less. If anything, she wanted to die before he did. She then watched the medicine cat do her thing and without a word she did as she was told and ate the seeds Willowleaf gave to her. She ate all of them, yet making a face after she ate them and asked, "Am I allowed to go drink some water to get the bad taste out of my mouth please willowleaf?"

Eclipsedstar let out a smile at Blackheart. He agreed with her, the herbs didn't taste very good, but that was of little consequence. He gazed up at his medicine cat with a sigh. "How am I doing?" he asked, not even sure if he himself was referring to any one aspect of his leadership in particular. He continued before she could answer right away. "The fact that Blackheart is back brings me much joy....but it also raises the stakes. I have much more now, to lose. Is that always a side effect of loving someone, Willowleaf?" he said softly, staring off at Blackheart as she delicately lapped up some water a few foxlengths off.

Willowleaf swallowed; love was not a subject a medicine cat tread upon lightly- she had never experienced the love Eclipsedstar held for Blackheart. She could only feel it emanating from it. She held the fondness for her Clanmates as a mother does her kits, but never as deep a relationship as the ShadowClan leader held for this long lost she-cat.
"Love often raises the stakes of battle. The more you have, the more you have to lose. But it also gives strength, Eclipsedstar. A wise old cat once told me 'fight for those you have lost, but also for those you do not wish to lose'," she answered.

Eclipsedstar's features softened. He glanced upon his medicine cat with a heartfelt fondness and admiration. "You are wise beyond your years, Willowleaf. This clan would be lost without you." he said, bowing his head slightly in respect. "I guess my fear is exerbated by the loss of my mother and sister. It is one of the deepest aches I have ever felt. I would have rather lost multiple lives than experience anything like that again." he admitted.

Blackheart looked over at her leader and didnt say a word. Talking about love. What is this? She was supose to come here and just get fixed up from the fox. She then moved a bit and felt something sharp in her body. She turned her body around and saw a thorn stuck in her fur. Great.. she thought as she pulled it out. She then set it on the gound and when she moved again she felt another one. I forgot about those.... She then turned stuck out her front leg and started to pull the thorns out trying to hold back the tears from ripping them out of her fur.

Eclipsedstar surveyed the camp. It seemed that his clanmates had really fixed up the camp rather quickly after the attack. He was pleased with the new walls of thorns woven by the entrance and nursery. He looked around with pride and hope at his clanmates. Shadowclan was resilient and strong...they would make it through this. They have to make it through this.
