"I'm sorry, Nightpaw. I had to get you out of there." Darkheart knew it was a lame excuse, but he didn't care. "Good fighting; I'll see to it that you're made a warrior this moon." He sighed as he knew they hadn't accomplished anything, but they'd tried. It wasn't his fault that CloudClan was too stupid to know when someone was trying to help them.
The dark warrior licked a bite and resolved to see the medicine cat. "Come on, we're going to see the medicine cat."

"What if i don't deserve to be a warrior? because... well...i don't feel like i should be...although I'm happy i got to carve a huge 'N' into his back... but who was that cat that said quote 'you can't keep my away from my-...' i didn't hear anything else. but i do know that he knows some stuff about me, so I'm going back! whether you like it or not." Those were the last words that she said to Darkheart before she started sprinting across the river towards cloudclan territory. When she got to the other side, she found 'Death' he didn't look to happy. She said she needed to talk to someone. He looked at her turned around and showed her that scratch that she gave him, it was a rough looking bloody |\| on his back. "oh, heh heh heh....yea about that....." that's all she said before 'Death' whacked her some where on the head that knocked her out, and all she heard was "....sure... YOU'LL never see Darkheart again... OR you stupid little emberclan". All Nightpaw saw as her last second of being awake was Darkheart, sprinting over screaming, maybe crying she couldn't tell. Then everything went black...

Darkheart hurled himself across the stream at the other cat. He tackled him and felt teeth in his hind leg. "Nightpaw! Stupid fool!' he hissed as anger surged through him, giving him strength. He clawed furiously at the other cat and finally picked up Nightpaw's limp body.
He carried it gently in his jaws back to EmberClan and put her down on the grass and began to tenderly lick her scratches and press cobwebs to her wounds.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!! THAT HURTS~ AAARRRRGGGGHHHHH! STOP DARKHEART STOP!" Nightpaw Screamed at the top of her lungs. Darkheart looked astonished. Nightpaw cleared her throat. "i mean, Hi" Nightpaw looked emberassed. There was one thing she had to ask. "Did i talk to him? the one? the tom you fought with? who is he? aarrrggghhh my head!" Nightpaw shook it off and looked at Darkheart with suspision. "Who is he!" Nightpaw, tryed to scratch Darkheart but only ended up pawing at his face. She grabbed him pulled him close, as if to kiss him, but made sure that he saw the evilness in her eye's, her eye's changed colour! (they turned red) she didn't know but maybe someone else did, she didn't notice, "WHO THE HELL IS HE!". That was the last of her energy. She fell back and didn't wake up until Darkheart woke her up.

"He is..." Darkheart choked on the word, "Shadowfur. Your father." He batted her paw away impatiently and applied more cobwebs to stop the bleeding. A great shudder rippled through him, and the compassion he shared with his apprentice caused him great pain.
Nightpaw fell back and Darkheart, eyes full of sadness, let her sleep until finally, he shook her, hoping to wake her. "Nightpaw, I'm so sorry. I couldn't t-tell you." Darkheart choked again and hunched over Nightpaw, waiting for her to awaken, his features tense and sad.

Nightpaw, who now knew who he was, was unsatisfied. "Darkheart you shouldn't be sorry" she said under her breath before finally going back to sleep. When she woke Darkheart was there. Didn't look like he had moved since last night. It was the time of the yellow circle in the sky. She had a little trouble standing, but she did, she stood proudly. "Darkheart! arise, it is daylight. i don't exactly remember seeing anything but i knew you were there. I'm sorry i didn't tell you about... well lets not talk about it. What i really want to talk about was Shadowfur. He's my father is he? Where's my mother then? Iceclan? Or is she dead, something else you failed to mention, i don't want to look down on you Darkheart but, i am your APPRENTICE! not your mentor. So act like I'm your on looker" Nightpaw's eye just swiftly went purple. She noticed. "Why do i see I'm a shade of purple? something wrong? and how can you be Allies with them? there plain stupid. Good at knocking people out, yes but stupid."
Nightpaw saw the pain in Darkhearts heart and eye's. She sat beside him and nudged him. Affection? maybe. "Come on lets go and get something to eat. and, did the rest of the clan here about last night? and did i get a marking from dea- that cat i fought with? or no?" Nightpaw turned Darkhearts head toward her, lighten up, there's much more to come from me." She fell over and ended up leaning on Darkheart. He helped her walk to the kill pile. When she saw the rest of the clan....

Darkheart sighed. It was better that she know the truth. "Okay, Nightpaw, I acknowledge that we need to talk. We're going to eat and go hunting and I'll tell you everything," he said, bowing his head. He helped her to the fresh kill pile and selected a vole for himself and a plump mouse for Nightpaw. "Here." He pushed it towards her and bit into his vole, trying to save himself from having to answer so he could collect his thoughts.
His eyes flickered as his apprentice's eyes turned purple for a second.
"I'll tell you about what the Clan said later. They're worried because CloudClan is cutting it too close. I saw you and that cat fighting. She had no right to knock you out." That was his explanation. Curt, yes, but that was Darkheart's way. He nudged her, returning the affectionate gesture, and waited quietly for her to finish eating before starting into the woods.

"Darkheart, you didn't look at that cat right did you? the cat i fought with was a tom, male as it were. So HE knocked me out. Thank you for the mouse, it's good, but cloudclan.... i don't think they have ever cut anything loose there always the uptight one's with rules, correct?" She saw the flicker in his eye's as she turned her eye's purple. "scare ya? i can do that according to whether or not i am going to let my emotes out of not." She enjoyed the nudge that she received from Darkheart, it was soft and gentle yet humorous. "Darkheart at hunting, are we actually going to hunt or talk and flirt? as i see I'm my eye's" She whispered into his ear. She obviously got his attention because he turned his head and gave her a stern look, "Hunting it is then!"
Nightpaw quietly smirked to herself and finished her mouse.

Darkheart pretended he hadn't heard her. "We're hunting," he responded. "And I shall tell you everything about CloudClan."
He was simmering at her blatant break of the Warrior code; killing another cat in a border fight. He just couldn't let it go, and it preyed on his mind, clouding his normally clear amber eyes with worry. "Nightpaw, please," he begged, "next time do not kill another cat in a petty border fight." Darkheart's tail twitched and he led her into the dense woods.

Nightpaw was exicted when she heard Darkheart say that he was going to tell her everything about cloudclan, as well as what the Clan had said (what emberclan had said). She saw worry in his expression on his face as he told her NOT to kll another cat in a border fight. "I killed that cat?!?!" She looked at herself with shame. "How could i do that, am i to strong, was that cat weak, was it tired, or WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!!?!?" She swiftly followed him as he started walking into the woods, she eagerly followed.
She could only think to herself, what HAVE i done. As she hung her head low

"It happens, but because of our rash actions, one of the CloudClan queens is dead. It is not something that will be easily settled," Darkheart said, and sat down abruptly. "Shadowfur is your father, yes."
Uncomfortably, he twirled his tail and stared at his paws, before taking a deep breath and spilling the entire story. "When a rogue cat came to EmberClan badly injured and starving, being kind and such, we took her in. She met your father, Shadowfur, while considering becoming a Clan cat. She was on patrol with me and a few others. They fell in love and a few moons later you were born. There was a dispute about the kits, and CloudClan said they should go to them because Shadowfur was Clan-born and therefore deserved them more, according the them.
"Unfortunately, your litter-mates died before we could reach an agreement and before she was killed, your mother and Shadowfur agreed that EmberClan would take you, Nightkit, and then greencough took your mother not long after.
"Shadowfur grieved, and suffered greatly, especially being estranged from you. Didn't you ever wonder why he looked at you hungrily during the few Gatherings you attended, or whenever he met you on Patrol?" Darkheart said, and hung his head. "You should have been told before it came to this. I'm sorry, Nightpaw, I truly am. But there, you know the truth now."

Nightpaw did not enjoy the way that Darkheart stared at his paws as he told her the whole entire story of her life. The way he said 'you should have been told before it came to this' made her wonder. Came to what? as she blurted it out before she could even think about what she was saying. "and i was curious about that strange cat in cloudclan, when i was little i meen. I asked about him but noone would tell me, so being so little i forgot about it. And, are you sure none of my siblings survived? not one?" As he hung his head, she lifted it with her paw, put her head really close to his and they rubbed forehead's. Just as she said, "I would have had to find out from you anyway, and im glad it was you,because...." She made a pause. "because... becuase you care." She looked at his eyes and waited for him to make the next move. She didn't care any more, about Shadowfur, he was just there from time to time. She ever so stightly whispered to herself. "YOU are like my father, you are anything more than what Shadowfur could be." She looked back at his eye's after her's drifted to the ground, and didn't move. This was a perfect moment of happyness for Nightpaw. She closed her eyes and just stood there. Forehead to Forehead with her mentor, Darkheart.

"Really?" If he had been a Twolegs, Darkheart would have blushed. He could never enunciate how her words had made him feel. "None of the other kits survived, I'm sorry," he said, raising his chin as she lifted it with her paw.
"Nightpaw, as my apprentice, I care about you a lot. You'll never know." Darkheart could have cursed himself for being so sappy, but he didn't care. She needed to know.

Nigthpaw could have told her self not to hear this but she let it all in, every word let her feel good. even if it was bad news. Sure she wanted to cry because none of her brothers or sisters survived. But she was with Darkheart and if he knew that she was feeling this way he might get even more sappy. Not that she didn't like him being sappy but it just wasn't him, in a good way. When he said 'i care about you a lot' Nightpaws heart flew. She didn't know why though.
She just had to say something in return, so she did. "What if i want to know? You saiid i'll never know, what if i want to know. Teach me do anything so i understand. " Then she said nothing more. With drew her forehead from his and lay down, in a comfertable possision. She looked attentive and ready to learn. She made sure of that.
