In a Downcast

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker spoke, "It doesn't matter to you or anyone in Ivyclan or any of the clans. Its nothing personal but I don't want to talk about it, ever. And it wont get better. Not for a long time." He started walking again. He couldn't stop thinking about Jett, chances are he would never be able to. He had fallen in love with Jett and she turned her back on him and ran off.

[sydney]

Sunsetfur nodded "Alright then... but will you come back to camp now?" he asked, his concern wasn't easily held back.

[Rockhead]

Something came over Rockwhisker and made him forget Sunsetfur was there. "I can't believe Jett! I mean she walks into my life and makes me fall in love with her. And when I try to get close to her she pushes me away. And when I finally tell her how I feel she turns her back on me and runs off. I am pretty sure she will return though. And she will make me fall for her again and then reject being my mate and run off again." He said before realizing Sunsetfur was there and he shouldn't have said that.

[sydney]

"seem's you had an eventfull day" Sunsetfur muttered. "I have a mate, though I say, she does enjoy pushing my buttons..." I laughed a bit. "She's are dificult, you never know what to expect..."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lying in her 'den' the rock didn't warm like it had before, her body was too cold. Did she realy love him? She didn't know... she felt happy, and warmer, when she was around him. With a sigh Jett left the hollow. Making her way slowly she managed to get herself atop the den, it looked like a normal rock if you didn't look close.

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker chuckled "Yeah I guess. But the worst part is when they act like they dont know things. I hate that. So we should head back to camp now." He said with a slight smile.

[sydney]

Sunsetfur nodded, "Tell me more about... Jett was it? Maybe I can help you figure this thing out..."

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker spoke "Well Jett is a very beautiful loner who showed up one day when I was down and every moment I spent with her was the best time of my life. She may not love me but I will never be able to stop loving her. Thats about it."

[sydney]

"what makes her special to you?" Sunsetfur asked, a bit intruiged.

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker looked at his dark brown paws once more. "Why? Why do you want to know?" He said, his voice very quiet. He looked up at the sky, it was dark and cloudy. Very soon it started to rain. "We should get back to camp." HE said before heading in the direction of the camp.

[sydney]

Sunsetfur nodded, knowing that he shouldn't push for an answer. Following Rockwhisker he picked up his paws as the rain fell lightly. As he walked he felt like they'd never make it to camp... the forest semmed bigger and more stretched out than usual.

[Crystalstar]

Crystalstar crouched low, keeping her body pressed to the cold earth, but her tail slightly raised, careful not to stir up the leaves. Her crystal-like eyes were locked on the vole ahead of her. She lifted her snow-white paws, careful where she was placing them, then at the least expected time she launched herself at the small creature. She emerged seconds later, a vole in her jaws, she buried it over at a old white oak, sighing.

"Any luck?" Blazestorm came up, a puny squirrel lodged in his jaws.

"Pitiful vole." She replied, a slight growl tinging her voice. "While we have pitiful amounts of prey ScorchClan is feasting, I doubt StreamClan is doing much better..." Crystalstar sighed, looking at Blazestorm, he was her father's brother, and they had been close since Aspentail... died.

"Your doing the best you can do. No one could do better, I bet Torchstar's dealing with the same problems in StreamClan." He said sympathetically, padding up to her. He buried his small catch with Crystalstar's then went looking for more.

Crystalstar padded farther into the bush, and jumped as Rockwhisker and Sunsetfur came out of what seemed like no where. "Rockwhisker. Sunsetfur. I wonder what you two would be doing here this time." She didn't word it as a question, but she still wanted it answered. "Blazestorm and I where hunting for our Clan, being productive." Her eyes glimmered with a hint of annoyance, they needed all their warriors and these two were slacking off.

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker almost jumped out of his fur. "And I just finished patrolling the borders and was going to tell you the borders are quiet. Not much scents other then ours." He said with a courageous tone. Crystalstar had always freaked him out since his mentor died and she was so calm. He continued walking. "Now if you excuse me I have prey to go catch." He said with a slight smirk on his face.

[Crystalstar]

"Hold it." Crystalstar quickly stopped Rockwhisker just as he was about to run off, he was hiding something... And luckily she could scent it on him. "Rockwhisker, tell me... if the borders are so quiet, then why do you have loner scent all over you. And worry, like your trying to hide something?" She raised her eyes, holding his gaze, now her warriors were making friends with loners... great, just what they needed.

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker shot a look of annoyance at Crystalstar. "Because there was a loner on the border. I chased her out of the territory. I did say there were other scents to. And I didn't think it was important." He said with a glazed look on his face. If Sunsetfur looked closely it would be obvious he was remembering Jett and everything she did to him, the good and bad. "Now if you will let me pass, I will go be productive and hunt for the clan." He said with little to no sarcasm in his tone.

[Crystalstar]

"Okay... Next time bring up loners, we want to make sure our borders are clean from unwanted cats that come to steal our prey." A growl hit her throat as she said the words with more hate then she expected. She turned around and got back to her hunting, leaving the two toms to their work.

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker didn't say anything to Sunsetfur as he walked away. He wasn't really going to hunt. Just to go and be miserable alone. He picked up a scent very quickly. 'Mouse,' He thought before getting into the hunters crouch and starting to stalk towards the scent. He saw the mouse, very plump for this time of year. He pounced at the mouse and missed. Something about being heartbroken wouldn't let him be the same again.

[sydney]

Sunsetfur turned back to Crystalstar as Rockwisker chased some prey. "I tried to" he said, a hint of amusment in his tone. "He's been different the past few days... I worry" finishing he nodded to the leader, turning off back to camp. His mind was set on finding what had happened, for now thought, he just wanted to make sure Echosong was holding well. Entering the camp, he took a small bird with him into the nursery, placing it infront of his mate. "Are you still well?" he asked "Do you need anything?"

[Rockhead]

Rockwhisker lay curled up under a tree with his tail and paws covering his face. He didn't want to remember her but for some reason that was all he could do. He closed his eyes and tears fell from them. He opened them shortly later and saw a figure standing over him. It was Jett. He pounced at her and went right through her. It was just a dream, to him it was a nightmare. He eyes shot open and he was panting. His life had become a disaster after Jett had come along.

[Willowtail]

Whitesong spotted Rockwhisker under the tree, squirming, and padded over. "Are you okay?" She asked worriedly. It seemed like the warrior wasn't at the best of times...

[sydney]

With a sigh Jett let the falling rain soak her pelt, she didn't know what to do or what to think. One cat could change her life so much. A sore stomach told her that she couldn't go much longer without fresh kill, but she wouldnt steal from IvyClan.
