"Because it's better off for everyone alright!" Ashrock bared his teeth at her. "Anyone I get close too, I turn my back on and hurt! I did it to Cedarstar! I did it to Coalpaw! I even did it to Closesky! So, it's better for you and everyone else if they just stay away from me, because eventually I'll just hurt you too, Stonesong."

“I don’t think you will.” Stonesong last voice grew softer. “I don’t think you would because you would try not too. You’ve learned from your mistakes Ashrock. I know you have.”

Ashrock huffed. "You sound so sure. Pinefeather's right, you know. I'm still ambitious. I'd still like to see myself as deputy of this Clan someday. How do you know I won't trample you to get there?"

“Why would you need to trample me?” Stonesong looked at him. “I don’t want to be leader or deputy.” She spoke. “That’s not for me and if you trampled me then you’d have no friends.”

Ashrock snorted. "Maybe not now, but later down the path, if you get in my way..." he trailed off with a shake of his head and focused on getting the brambles into place. "I can't understand why you care so much."

Tumblefoot blinked at him in surprise. "You don't? Well...I don't either..." He looked around the camp. "Maybe there's someone who does who can help us?" Cinderspeck watched the Clan working, looking for anyone that could be free. Were any mentors not doing anything? Some part of him doubted it. They were experienced and knew how to get things done...

"What about Flintclaw?" Tumblefoot nodded in the direction of the older warrior. "He's had quite a few apprentices, right? Maybe he'll help us."

Stonesong just turned away and fell silent. Maybe she was wrong about him. Maybe he really didn’t care at all or about anything other than himself. She got back to work, frustration showing in her movements.

"And there you go again." Ashrock rolled his eyes when she fell quiet for a while. "You think giving me the cold shoulder and hitting your paws against things like that is going to make me apologize? Sorry to disappoint."

Coalpaw nudged his branch, awkwardly shuffling his paws. While he was a good few tail lengths away, he could tell the conversation was turning sour. He wanted to ask why Ashrock wouldn’t just try to be happy with her. He wondered how his mentor could always be so prickly all the time. Had he ever been happy before? Coalpaw kept quiet, though his eyes flickered around.

“What else do you want me to do?” Stonesong glared at him. “You don’t want me to care so this is me not caring.”

Ashrock tilted his ears back. He wasn't sure he liked her answer. "Fine."

Stonesong huffed back. “Fine.” She went back to working, trying not to keep her fur from bristling. Why was he the most annoying, handsome, stupid, dreamy, stubborn tom in the clan!?

“Aghhh!” Coalpaw sighed suddenly, letting his branch drop as he looked between Ashrock and Stonesong. “You all are so...so- depressing! Watching you makes my stomach hurt! You could be happy with Stonesong but you just won’t! I don’t understand you, or whatever is going on with you both, but if you like eachother just-...I dunno, do what cats who like eachother do!” He exclaimed, puffing his cheeks as he pouted at Ashrock.
“She’s always around you. Doesn’t that mean something? I...hmph. I don’t even care if you train me or not. You can spend time with Stonesong and be happy. I just want you to be happy for once.” He looked at his paws, frowning softly.

Ashrock blinked in surprise when his apprentice suddenly snapped out. He looked at Coalpaw in light bewilderment, but the topic of his apprentice's rant had his ears falling back and growing hot with a tiny hint of embarrassment. He cleared his throat and got down from the den. "I don't know what you're talking about Coalpaw, but of course I'm going to train you. We just have to rebuild the camp first."

Moon:
"You are the best brother ever....don't tell Smokestorm I said that," Hiddendream giggled slightly nudging him before letting out a small breath letting her smile fade. This should have been a happy moment, one to share with her mate, her clan...her mother...they should be here, but they weren't and never would be until she joined with them in Starclan. ~
Fox:
Jaysong looked at him a pained expression on her face. Her eyes shimmered as they twisted reflecting her body's feelings or discomfort as the pain increased. Her body rippled as she opened her mouth in a wordless gasp.

Eaglesight laughed. "Don't worry, I won't." He waited to followed her lead; however, movement at the leader's den caught his eye. Cliffheart left the den so swiftly and he was on a path to the warrior's den, but he didn't take his eyes off the ground in front of him.

Hiddendream nodded her head though frowned watching Ciffheart for a moment her heart sunk further, "He looks so broken...," she whispered.

"He'll..." Eaglesight flicked his ear and swallowed down his doubts. "He'll be okay. He just needs to rest a bit and process some things on his own and tomorrow he'll be good as new." He smiled at his sister. "Don't worry."

"Well, we'll be rebuilding all year if you and Stonesong keep quarreling! I'll even do all the work for you if you want to...I dunno, what to cats who like eachother do? Go hunting? Catch frogs together? You guys are weird." He puffed, before he began tugging strongly at another branch. "I'm gonna be...mph, the largest apprentice...ngh, in history!" He exclaimed, both proud and exasperated about it. He was willing to remain a paw if it meant helping his mentor and his clanmate get along.

"What about Flintclaw?" Tumblefoot nodded in the direction of the older warrior. "He's had quite a few apprentices, right? Maybe he'll help us." Cinderspeck nodded. "It's worth a try... he definitely has the experience." He looked towards the other warrior, wondering who would ask him.

Moon: "I mean...is now really the time? I mean.... we are all still recovering," Hiddendream flicked her ears a bit worried not wanting to cause any hurt at least any further hurt. After all their sister just lost her kits, wouldn't this just be cruel to tell her she was expecting? A frown crossed her face at the thought; would she be upset? ~ Blazer: "She went back into the blaze? Was she insane?" Raccoonmask frowned shaking her head ears twitching. Though she guessed she had more lives to spare then a normal warrior anyway but still it sounded like a mouse brained thing to do. "She is...," Songbreeze whispered though her tone was laced with sadness instead of joy, "They should be right along side of her," her voice broke as she laid her head on her paws not looking at her belly anymore. She couldn't; she shuddered she couldn't even be a proper mother. ~ Icey: "You sure both of us should go?" Opalmist asked tilting her head before looking around camp they were back at camp so things should be fine though what if something went wrong? She couldn't handle not being around or at least one of them being around; after all Cedarstar still needed his wounds looked after. "Perhaps to us she seemed so...but I imagine the mindset of a leader is different. They have more lives than we do. They feel responsible to protect our lives above their own. Cedarstar is the same...he always has been, even before he was our leader." Cardinalblaze murmured, thinking of his mentor with a twinge of concern. He knew all of this would weigh down heavily on Cedarstar, and he wished he could alleviate it somehow. "I know..." Lionscorch sighed softly, his eyes flickering with loss as he gazed down at Pearlkit. "It wasn't your fault. It wasn't either of our faults...It could have been passed on, my mother has had similar happen to her. That wasn't her fault...and this isn't yours either. I love you, Songbreeze, no matter what." He promised.

Ashrock flattened his ears. "We're getting plenty of work done, Coalpaw." His voice dropped to a stern scolding. "If you feel as if your training isn't going well enough, then do something about! StarClan knows Closesky would train you if you asked! Or you should've tagged along on other apprentice's training sessions! Stop waiting on me, because you're going to be disappointed!"
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Tumblefoot blinked at Cinderspeck. "Go ask him, I'm not going to do it. I doubt he even likes me. He'd do it if you did."

Maybe I wanted to train with you!” Coalpaw argued, stamping a paw down. “The only reason it would be disappointing is because you won’t let it be anything else! You’re just a- you’re a big lizard-brain! And you’re just afraid, so you act all tough! And you told me that you would be my mentor, and I promised that I would be your apprentice. When I saw you fight, I thought you looked tougher than rocks, and I wanted to be just like you! So you’re stuck with me!” Coalpaw boomed, stubborn as stone.

Ashrock bared his teeth when Coalpaw said he was just afraid. "Oh, goodie, I'm stuck with a whiner with stars in his eyes! Look, Coalpaw! I'll get around to training you, but I got to take care of the camp first! And don't start this nonsense that you're the oldest and largest apprentice, because you're not! Hollypaw and Oakpaw have been apprentices longer than you and your siblings and I don't think the clan cares that you're behind because there are more important things to worry about!" He motioned toward the dens as if to emphasize his words. "So, get over yourself!"

Coalpaw looked taken aback for a moment, blinking at his mentor’s sharp words, before a scowl crossed his face and he barked back in retaliation. “I’ve been working hard for the camp too, and I never said I was the oldest! The only whiner here is you! Disappointment this and that, blah blah blah! Closesky this, Cedarstar that! That’s what you sound like! You never let yourself be happy! She’s so kind to you, and you snap at her! You snap at me when I try to help!” His pelt puffed up with frustration.

Ashrock pinned his ears back and his lips curled to a snarl. He stepped away from Coalpaw. "StarClan condemn me, I don't have to take this! You two think you understand what's going on, but you don't! If I wanted your help, I would've asked for it!" He lashed his tail and started to walk away. "The both of you are better off leaving me alone!" With a defensive hiss, Ashrock whipped away from the two of them and headed for the camp entrance.

“Yeah, well you-...You’re better off- You- Hmph!” Coalpaw stomped his paw again, a deep pout crossing his face as he tried to gather his words. The anger that had filled him dissipated quickly, now becoming more akin to sadness. A part of him wondered if it would be better to just go to Cedarstar and ask for a new mentor. But the stubborn part of him found that to be giving up. He hated giving up. Instead, he snuffed stubbornly. Ashrock would just have to come back sooner or later, and then he’d really listen...maybe.

Cinderspeck looked at Tumblefoot with a frown. "Are you sure he'd do it for me? He's got so much experience over us." he sighed. "All right..." he took a breath and approached him.
