In the forest

[brambleclaw]

*Stares into the river, hoping to see the image of Silverleaf in his mind* *Sighs and lies down* *Still stares into the water, trying to picture a image of Silverleaf in his mind when they were still mates and she loved him.* *Can only see her covered in blood and yelling at him with rage*

[tangletail]

Tangletail padded through the bushes and saw her brother staring into nothingness again.
"Brambleheart, you have to pull it together" She sat by him; with a flick, she rested her tail over him. She layed beside her, putting her paw on his.
"It's going to be okay. I promise."

[brambleclaw]

*Looks at his sister with sorrow in his gaze* How can you say that?

[tangletail]

"I know what it feels like. It's happened to me many times. Me and Fallenleaves had our moments and break-ups, but I now that she has another mate now." A sigh escaped her lips. "I know the pain you're going through. All that I can tell you is that you're going to be okay."

[brambleclaw]

*Rests his head on his paws* I don't know how you dealt with it! I love her so much that it hurts, and she doesn't even care about me anymore. Whenever I try to think of her, all I see is her covered in blood, hissing and snarling at me...

[tangletail]

"Brambleheart..." Tangletail could only sigh. There was nothing that she could do except support him in his time of need. "I'm here for you."

[brambleclaw]

At least that's one person. *Purrs slightly* Thanks, Tangletail.

[tangletail]

"Is there anything at all I can do for you? Do you want some poppy seeds to help you get some sleep?" Tangletail asked him, hoping that he would accept the offer. He needed to get some rest. He'd been up for days.

[brambleclaw]

*Stares into the water* Why bother? I'm just going to die alone, so might as well make that come sooner. *Suddenly thinks of fresh-kill and quivers. He hadn't eaten in a couple of days and he was getting slimmer and slimmer, but the thought of food made him shudder*
