Brightsun stalked though the grasses, cursing his own stupid behavior. He shouldn't be here in Windclan, attempting to see a she-cat he shouldn't love. He should be in Shadowclan, helping his clan. Still, he had to come. He had to try and see Winterwind. He saw a small clump of herbs. If she went to gather any this night, she'd take them from here. Silently Brightsun went to a nearby clump of grasses and waited.

Winterwind walked to her well known herb patch. She paused, sniffing th air. It smelled of plant, earth and-"Brightsun, you shouldn't be here." She hissed, walking into the small clearing.

"I know," Brightsun said, coming out of the grasses. He moved silently towards Winterwind, talking as he walked. "I just had to see you. I had to tell you something." His heart pounded, and he felt sure that someone would hear. Somehow though, he was breathing normally, and his voice was calm. His voice though seemed to stop working as he sat down next to the medicine cat, and for the moment all he could do was stare.

Winterwind stared into Brightsun's eyes for a moment, feeling as if her stomach was twisting into a knot. "What is it you want to tll me?" She asked quietly. Winterwind had a feeling she already knew what it was, but she hoped she was wrong. Winterwind looked into Brightsun's eyes, begging him not to make her choose...

(So begins the love stuff. *Wrinkles face in revulsion* I'll try to cut down on the proclomations of love, since it sounds kinda cheesy in real life. Though I doubt i'll succeed *Starts muttering to self.*)
"Winterwind..."Brightsun began, and he felt himself tremble slightly. He hadn't expected it to be this hard for him to say. He licked is muzzle and began again. "Winterwind .... I love you. I know I shouldn't, that Starclan would curse us both, but still... I love you." He stared at her for another moment to see how she would respond. Than he continued. "Please, be my mate. I promise you'll be happy, no matter what." He pressed his flank against her's, hoping she would agree. He closed his eyes, feeling like his life hung in the balance.

(Want the harsh reality of how you did on you mission, or would you like a nice little lie?)
Winterwind stayed where she was for a moment than flinched away. "I can't," She said looking towards the sky. "I can't love you, Brightsun, I'm sorry." She felt like crying. Winterwind loved Brightsun, more than anything she wanted to be with him, but she was a medicine cat. Her path would take her on a different road. She couldn't ask him to leave a chance for happiness in his own clan to go after her in a path that would probably be less than that. Winterwind knew she probably hurt him, and hoped he asked nothing more, for she couldn't lie to him.

(In a moment. Winterwind: A lie please, I doubt my heart can take the truth.)
Brightsun felt relif as Winterwind pressed her flank back. When she flinched away though, he felt his heart break. He felt numb as she talked and said she couldn't love him. HE spoke after a moment, his voice surprisingly calm. "Winterwind... do you love me?" He asked, looking up.

(*Laughs* You did fine, it could have been a lot worse. Most of this next part is actually influenced by a short story I once read.)
Winterwind turned to look back at Brightsun. Her heart lurched as she stared at him, sensing his heartbreak. "Brightsun, I said I can't love. I never said I didn't." She looked down for a moment, slightly scared to look up.

(Thanks.)
Brightsun stared at Winterwind, unable to think, move or speak. He felt as if all his love and dispair was mixing in his stomach in an untolerable combination. All he could was see Winterwind in front of him and know she loved him to. It was heartbreaking, the hope he now had, but he'd do anything to preserve it.
(Come in Brownclaw.)

A dark tabby pelt could be seen through the fronds of LargeGrass, frozen in time as if it were a mere mirage. With a quick shake, the pelt moved and Brownclaw stepped out of the foliage, her eyes glittering as she sighted Brightsun. Stopping dead, her hackles rose and the Rogue's Daughter drew back her lips in a snarl. "I thought I scented ShadowClan," Her voice was hostile and she advanced slightly, taking on an aggresive stance as she stopped next to her Sister. "It's you, isn't it, Brightsun? Delving into our heritgae when no one gave you the right and now trespassing on WindClan territory - what worse things can you do? Only mentally stalk my Sister and trick Rowanfur into telling you about her, like some love-sick rat."

Winterwind moved to face her sister, putting herself between the two. She hadn't seen Brightsun's face, but she doubted it would be a happy expression on it. "Brownclaw, what are you doing here? Don't tel me you came all this way just to fight with Brightsun because he thinks he loves me." She narrowed her eyes, and hoped the last comment didn't hurt Brightsun. "Just because your relationships end in disaster doesn't mean you can come here and give him the what-for when I've already said it an never be." Her green eyes flashed, and her fur bristled slightly.

(Ouch, Brightsun isn't a love sick rat!)
Brightsun felt his fur bristle. Love-sick rat! He calmed himself, though his eyes remained blue as he walked forward. "I do love you," He murmered to Winterwind softly so that Brownclaw wouldn't hear. He narrowed his eyes at the tabby she-cat. "I was trying to help her, not just find things out. I needed to find out the problem, and try to fix it, which was more than you were doing." His hackles began to rise as hostility between the cats rose.

((Ahem! Winterwind, Silverwing died.))
The sudden realisation that Brightsun had confessed love for Winterwind shocked the dark tabby cat as she stared at her Sister. Brownclaw had not heard the declaration of love and had merely appeared during the silence between them. But that was not the worst thing Winterwind had said - her hateful comment on Silverwing had hit Brownie hard, breaking the pieces of her already shattered heart. Her first love had died...murdered by a Warrior or a Rogue - nothing was certain yet. Completely ignoring Brightsun's snide insults, Brownclaw stared at her Sister, not bothering to conceal the shock and hurt from her eyes - eyes that mirrored her Father.
"How could you say such a thing?" Brownclaw's voice was hoarse as she stared into her Sister's orbs, trying to convey all her grief and mourning through their gaze. "Silverwing was murdered by an outsider to WindClan. For all I know, it was Brightsun himself, though I doubt he would have the bitterness to do that. I expected better of you than stabbing me in my heart, Winterwind, when I have never insulted you nor intentionally hurt you."

(Actually I was referring to Ghost. I have feeling this fight is going to get vicious.)
"I wasn't referring to Silverwing, may he hunt with Starclan. I was referring to another cat, though that's as far as I'll go with another clan cat present." Winterwind said, angry. She didn't get angry much, but when she did she could be vicious. She didn't care that she was hurting her sister, though later she'd remember with remorse. But that was than and this was now. "Stabbed you in the heart did I, sister. Well that's surprising. I didn't think you had one."

((Ack! What did little Brownie do? Oh, and Winterwind, wrong account if you really are Brightsun.))
With cold realisation, Brownclaw thought of Forest, or Ghost as he now preferred. How could Winterwind know anything of this tom, and if she truly did know then she would understand it had been Brownie who wished to end it, and she felt no regret at not wishing for love. Swallowing her normal reaction of insulting her Sister, Brownclaw took the hurt Winterwind was causing her in her stride and dropped some of the aggresion from her stance. "Why are you so angry with me, Pepper?" She quizzed, gazing at the Medicine Cat with round orbs. "Bar this fight, what have I intentionally done to hurt you?"

(No, I'm not Winterwind. As I told you once, she's a friend of mine. The other day she went over my house and I'm always logged in. She must have forgotten that. It happens to me when my sis, (Also called *****************) gets on.)

(You don't believe me. I'm so hurt.)
Brightsun decided to leave the sisters to it. He din't need to be here, not after delvering his message. So he turned and left.
