Cliffheart let out a heavy sigh. He didn't really want to relive the memories of what happened. "Look, Spiritstar." He met her eyes with a stern gaze. "What StarClan decides is out of both of our control. They decided to condemn me to the Dark Forest for my crimes and I'm not going to fight it. You shouldn't either. I don't want you condemning yourself for my sake. You've been though enough! When you lose your last life and the time comes for you to go to StarClan, go! There are so many that you'll be able to be with: our parents, Jumptree, Treepaw, and Talonclaw. You'll even see Eaglecry." His voice cracked and he looked away from her. The thought not being able to see their loved ones again welling emotion in his chest, but he pushed it away. He had accepted his fate. "I need you to go to StarClan, Spiritstar...So you can tell our parents i love them and tell Eaglecry that I'm sorry I failed him."

“I refuse to believe you wouldn’t be able to walk the stars,” Spiritstar frowned lashing her tail. Anger boiled within her as she stared up towards the sky unable to see the first glimpse of the stars. How cruel could Starclan be as to not allow Cliffheart into Starclan. A low growl ripples through the soft leader it was rather off setting, “Listen Cliffheart. After all you have been through and all you have tried to do. You turned your life around for your family. For your clan. Your yourself. You had a dark past. It’s true and I don’t fault you for it, I never have. Our family was used like flies in a spiders web. Caught in strands we were placed upon. You broke free to save those still trapped. Think about our family spread around the clans. Venomspirit and Deadpath. Splashecho. They are free to live there lives without the looming threat of the darkness trying to take them. Your kits and your mate. They are safe because of the sacrifices you made,” she told him, “And if that isn’t worthy for redemption then Starclan doesn’t know what true loyalty and love is,” she shook her head.

"You think I don't know that?" Cliffheart lashed his tail, unintentionally snapping at her. "Every day I serve ShadowClan as the best warrior I can be, but it's not enough, Spiritstar! I've had this argument with many cats before. I've had it with myself a thousand times! But I made my nest and I have to lay in it. If going to the Dark Forest means that the rest of my kin is spared, then I'll pick the Dark Forest every time! It's already been decided, Spiritstar. When I die, I'm going to the Dark Forest again and this time Northstar won't be around to pull me back out. I'm making the most of the time I have left. I don't want to spend another minute of it arguing!"

Spiritstar stood up from where she sat looking at her brother her eyes hard the gaze she held was cold and icy. The blue eerily reflecting there sisters for a moment, “I never thought I would hear the day when you give up without a fight. For your family and for yourself,” she moved to brush past him but stopped, “I will never stop fighting for you. We maybe part of different clans and set in different paths but you are still my brother and that will never change. Would you give up on me?” She asked him pressing her nose to his cheek before moving back.

"This isn't about you, Spiritstar!" Cliffheart pulled away from her and bared his teeth. "I don't want what happens to me to affect you! If either of us go against StarClan, then we both deserve the Dark Forest! I was counting on you to relay my messages to mom, dad, and Eaglecry. I thought you of all cats would understand, but I guess not!" He got up and shoved past her. "This isn't your burden, Spiritstar, it's mine and my alone!" Without another word, he walked away.

Spiritstar lashed her tail shaking her head letting out a low growl wears flattening against her skull. Though she didn’t make a move after him her gaze turning towards the edge of the cliffs letting out a shaky breath staring down.
“Wouldn’t it be easier if you just fell again?” A voice whispered in her ears.
Spiritstar tensed whipping around but no one was there shuddering slightly she shook her head, “It’s not real. You aren’t here....,” she whispered to herself.
“I will always be here.... you can’t get rid of me just because you wish it. Just because our brother tells you that you are stronger then this? You think happiness will save you? After what you did?” Her sisters voice echoing into her ears, “Now you don’t even have your own families support. Splashecho hates you for choosing Cliffheart. Cliffheart hates you for trying to help him. You can’t do anything right can you?” She snickered.
Spiritstar looked down below crouching low as she dug her claws against the rocks, “Make it stop....make it stop....make it stop,” she shuddered repeating over and over again. Oh Starclan she couldn’t do anything right could she? She had lost clan mates today, lost there lives, lost there faith. She couldn’t find the words to speak anymore.

Cliffheart headed back to Cardinalblaze, his fur prickling from his talk with Spiritstar. Why couldn't she just respect his decision? Why was she so determined to fight everything? What happened to his little sister who wanted nothing more than to mend and heal? Now she wanted to fight his battles? He didn't want to drag anyone else down with him. Better that he faced his punishment for his crimes alone than condemn others by fighting this. I just wanted a normal conversation with my sister. he thought solemnly. All he wanted was for her to relay his messages, but if she defied StarClan for him, his messages would never make it to his parents, to Eaglecry. Cliffheart laid down next to Cardinalblaze, but didn't say a word. He was tired of arguing. He was tired of fighting. Why couldn't everyone else respect that? Now, his last words to Spiritstar were of anger, and if he died tomorrow, that would be that. Yet, he didn't feel like apologizing. Why should he? Spiritstar was the one that wouldn't respect his wishes.

Spiritstar stared down at the water below tears running down her muzzle. Things had been easier as Ditz.... she didn’t remember her family. She didn’t remember the darkness that looked through the forest or that haunted her family. A shuddered went through her pelt her claws scrapping against rock a few pebbles falling down below. Causing the she cat the recoil snapping out of her daze and her thoughts. Ears flattening her heart was racing as she took another step back from the edge. No she couldn’t think like that she had a clan to lead. She had cats who still looked to her. Her tail lashed as she looked towards the sky letting out a shaky breath her body shuddered. Oh Starclan what was she going to do? She felt horrible for how she talked to Cliffheart. After he had tried to help her. Feeling the prickling guilt raising within her she shook her head. Wiping away tears from her muzzle. What type of sister was she? What type of leader was she?! Backing away from the cliff edge turning towards the rest of the clan that was stuck in these cliffs having spread out. The fire still burning down below she let out a low breath moving past Cardinalblaze passing Cliffheart her voice low, “I’m sorry,” she meowed her voice trying to cover the sadness she had just let move through her to continue towards her clan mates she couldn’t take for granted what she had. This may not be the life she wanted but it was her life she had now.

(true. Well, as I said, there is a fire sweeping the territories. I'm pretty sure most cats of SkyClan got out unscathed, but Echopaw did get caught up in the smoke and Spiritstar lost a life and three other cats died. I don't know where you want to put your characters.)

(Geh...You said Cliffheart helped Lavendersky? So she's somewhere probably grumbling about her herb storage, because medicine cat. Nightsky is probably injured somewhere because long fur...As for Sandpaw, Amberpaw, and Darkpaw, I have no idea. Diving into the personalities I remember, Sandpaw probably got turned around somewhere and got herself lost, Amberpaw probably found a place just out of reach out of the fire, and Darkpaw followed everyone else.)

Spiderpaw padded back over to Lavendersky, having checked on Echopaw once again. His tail was low and his ears were back. He hated this whole situation.

(Oh well, I still have a job, I just really hate working retail right now x.x)
Lavendersky grumbled to herself as she often did when this all happened. She mumbled about herb storage, mumbled about the number of cats suffering from smoke inhalation, and the occasional burn victim and what to use when most of her storage was gone.
