Volepaw leaped out of the warriors den, fur bristling. The young tom leaped around the camp, shaking his head with his short furred tail fluffed up. "Great Starclan does that cat snore!" Volepaw hissed sitting down to groom his back. It was the first day after Mitch, Moonfur and Silverpool had returned. The Clan seemed tired and on alert, and Mitch snored horribly. The young gray cat lashed his tail and let his olive eyes glow.
Gingerclaw awoke to see his apprentice hissing, he was slightly amused. He had ignored Moonfur before, but he couldn't now. He stood up and shook his pelt, when the other tom awoke, Gingerclaw would tell him what happened. "Volepaw, you up for a sparring round? I have a few new moves to teach you." The young tom nodded and both walked out of camp and to the sparring arena.

Silverpool's eyes slid from Mitch to Volepaw and Gingerclaw. Her heart seemed to die yet again. The sky was a deep blue color, witch meant it was still very early. Silently she slid from the apprentance den and to the sparring grounds. Tears slid down her cheeks as she watched them sparr. Gingerclaw and her used to spar, and she loved hearing him laugh. He didn't laugh anymore. He didn't smile. He didn't even acknoledge his best friend.
Moonfur was still waiting for Gingerclaw to get over his anger. He missed his friend, and he didn't understand why Gingerclaw was blind to see his sister's pain, and why Gingerclaw ignored him.
Moonstar slept silently. His eyes fluttered open and he was no longer tired. Firestar sat infront of him and he dipped his head in greeting. "Greetings Moonstar. You have been very wise, but Moonclaw and Silverpool don't deserve the treatment they're getting. you know that you can trust them, why are you keeping such a close eye on them, Moonstar?" Moonstar's eyes grew sad. "My clan does not trust them. I can't force them to." Firestar nodded, "Only one. One that puts up enough of a fight to seem like your entire clan. You always make the right choice, Moonstar. Moonfur doesn't deserve this. What about Silverpool? Look at how hurt she is. She doesn't deserve it. She is a cat, a cat like any other. Why is she difforent from us?" Firestar was quoting him. "Goodbye Moonstar."

Gingerclaw looked over his shoulder at Silverpool, his tail twitched. He looked at his paws for a moment before glancing at Volepaw, the gray aprentice looked worried.
Volepaw padded to Gingerclaw. "You see, you bird-brain... You must tell them." He flicked his tail and dipped his head to Silverpool. "Why don't you to spar?" The young cat said softly, before disapearing.

Ashstripe shook her long, gray fur. Her yellow eyes watched as Gingerclaw and his apprentice, Volepaw, sparred. She stepped out from her den to see Silverpool in a state of sadness. Ashstripe looked back at Gingerclaw, to Volepaw, then at Moonfur. She did not know what had happened to the clan in the past. Ashstripe sat at the entrance to her den and watched the others.

Volepaw appeared next to Ashstripe and gave a purr. "Hello there, what are you doing?" He asked, wondering if she needed help with somthing. His tail curled up as he noticed her state of confusion. One word should clear it up. "Rosecloud." She was the old med cat. "Gingerclaw loved her, Silverpool loves him, and he's angry at everyone and blames himself for her death. He's as blind as a newborn kit."

Silverpool stepped from the treeline. "Why are you upset, Gingerclaw? Why won't you talk to Moonfur?" Her ears flattened, and she leapt swiftly over him and landed facing towards his back. "Why won't you talk to me?"
Moonstar's eyes slid open. His back ached again and he was reminded that he was on his last life.

Gingerclaw watched her leap over him, he was not about to spar with her. He was far to angry and she looked far too upset. "You two just left, and expect me to just say everything is all right?" He asked, rounding on her. "You left me and I morned for you, I thought you two were dead."

Ashstripe purred as she saw Volepaw approach though she was still confused. She looked back at Gingerclaw and Silverpool as Volepaw explained everything. "Thanks for clearing that up Volepaw. I'm not sure I would of ever understood what was going on if you hadn't explained." she purred.

"Oh, why would care, Gingerclaw?! I'm nothing to you. And you obviously got over Moonfur leaving, otherwise you would be happy for his return." She watched him with acusing eyes. She shook her head, "Your not the same Gingerclaw I left. Your angry." SHe wanted to sparr with him. She wanted to make him smile. "Take your anger out on me. And then when we're done you might want to tell me the real story."

Volepaw dipped his head and watched the two argue; his tail lashed once before he relaxed a bit. The gray tom was getting older now, he was almost fully grown. He was a long bodied tom with a deep, understanding gaze. He thought out of the box, which was rare in a tom. Volepaw sighed as he remembered his past; and his brother. He hadn't seen him since the last gathering...
Gingerclaw frowned deeply. "I'm not going to fight you." He said simply, lashing his tail.

Ashstripe turned towards Silverpool and Gingerclaw. She cocked her head slightly and watched as Silverpool and Gingerclaw argued. She looked back at Volepaw who was the oldest apprentice in the clan. He deserved to be a warrior but Moonstar has yet to give him his warrior name. "So how come Gingerclaw acted the way he did when those three returned?" she asked.

Volepaw looked over at the two cats, his ears lowered as he focused on them; brown eyes blazing. The gray tom stared at them curiously then turned his gaze back to Ashstripe. "I'm not too sure about that, but he blames himself for Roseclouds death and feels they will judge him... Or, maybe, deep down, in that blackened heart of his, he loves Silverpool, or maybe Leopardfang." Volepaw thought it almost insane to think Gingerclaw could love again but then again, he had pick of two of the prettest she-cat's. He knew how close Gingerclaw was to Leopardfang, but did she feel the same? They gray tom shuddered and looked around, this was the worst love polygon he'd ever seen.

Ashstripe looked down then back up at the two cats. "Why would he think everyone will judge him?" she asked. She wanted to know as much as she could about her clan. Her gray tail flicked lightly against the ground as she watched the two cats. She glanced towards the Leader's den where Moonstar slept.

Volepaw looked at his paws; not many cats knew how Rosecloud had died. "We were sent on a patrol with Rosecloud to fetch herbs, along the way there were dogs... Gingerclaw fought them and I did my best as well, but it wasn't enough. We told her to run, but she didn't... She was torn to shreds..." Volepaw blinked and shook his head. "In the end, Gingerclaw changed and never was the same. He was harder on me, forcing. This was half a moon after Silverpool and Moonfur left, so he was still upset. He turned icy cold, his eyes turned steely and he has never been the same. He trusts me with his life, and he thinks I'm the only one who won't judge him cause I was there... I had to carry her mangled body... I had to burry her so the clan would not be horror stricken..."

Ashstripe shook at hearing the news on how the former Medicine Cat had died. "I'm..I'm so sorry to hear about Rosecloud Volepaw." She glanced back up towards Gingerclaw. The gray she-cat now knew why Gingerclaw was the way he is today. Ashstripe turned back towards Volepaw, "Why does he think people will blame him for her death?" She would never blame him for the medicine cat's death, ever.
