Even medicine cats need breaks. Doveheart was doing just that now. It was past moon heigh, and she had made sure that Rosepaw was asleep before leaving the den. Her treck brought her to one of the places in SunClan territory she hated most, the Thunderpath. Yet the she-cat knew it was probablly the best place to be alone for a bit.
The creamy and silver cat curled herself into the roots of a tree, ice blue eyes unblinking as she stared out across the reeking road. She had not slept at all, and for some reason sleep would not come to her anywhere. All was calm, for not even monsters were out this late at night. Yet the tonkinese couldnt help but feel like a peice of prey, waiting to be caught and killed.

Wolfstar trekked the border alone, alert for any signs of life. That's when he spotted the creamy she-cat. "What are you doing out so late? Need some company?" the tom meowed. He could tell by how worn Doveheart looked that she needed to rest. "You know," he mewed mischeviously, "Medicine Cats get breaks too. Or are you just upset since Pinekit die-" he broke off, choked by sadness. This very spot was where his son had ventured off to and had been hit by a monster.

Doveheart was about to retort when her words choked her. Rising slowly to her feet, the medicine cat purred and licked her leader's ear in a rare gesture of affection. Ice blue eyes were full of calm as she gazed at Wolfstar.
"All is not lost. He still walks with you, even if you cant see him." She mewed softly.
The she-cat could see how much the death of his son still pained him. She was trained to fix wounds on the outside, but not even the best medicine cat could fix a broken heart. Only time did that. Yet she didnt know how long that would be for the tom.
"It is better to grieve with others, then bear it alone." She murmured.

Wolfstar shrugged. He wasn't usually one of the mushy types. He didn't usually let his emotions show, for the sake of the clan. Something hit Wolfstar. "How do you get over the deaths of your patients? When they die at your paws?" he asked rather suddenly.

Doveheart sat down, curling her tail around her paws.
"You dont think of it as anything but a good bye. At some time or another, you'll meet them again. Loosing one only makes you that much more determined to save the next." She said.
The medicine cat couldnt really put how she coped into words, she just did. She sighed quietly and shook her head, wondering what words would help Wolfstar.

Wolfstar glanced at the she-cat for a moment and then brushed his tail against her shoulder. "The clan is lucky to have wonderful medicine cat like you. Ha, remember when I first came to camp? You were all over me checking me for injuries and nagging that I rest. You sure were one chattery apprentice."

Doveheart gave a purr of amusement.
"But if you remember, you were trying to tell me you were fine because you wanted to get back into your routine!" She mewed, raising her chin a little in slight defiance, "I was chatty only because i was scared out of my pelt that i would do something wrong."

Wolfstar purred. "Yeah. I was pretty scared too. I didn't really know much about clan life, but it made me realize that this is the life for me. Though sometimes I just want to run away and forget all of my responsibilities." he murmured. It seemed a bit shocking since he rarely opened up and shared all of his thoughts with another cat.

"That makes two of us." Doveheart added.
The medicine cat was going along with Wolfstar's rare and random feeling spill. Yet part of her was silently willing for the leader to go on. Maybe if he just let his feelings known to at least one cat, he wouldnt seem to stressed all the time.

Wolfstar shrugged. He knew that being a medicine cat was stressful, but surely having an apprentice helped alot? He didn't have a cat who could help him, besides Batflight. He let out a long sigh. He observed the moon above him. It had never seemed so beautiful." Well, Starclan are still watching over us.''

Doveheart followed his gaze. Her tail tip twitched slightly when Wolfstar spoke.
"When are they not?" She countered, eyes glowing with amusement.
Dropping her gaze, she watched her leader for a moment, a question forming in her mind. She cocked her head to one side before she asked.
"What brought you out here anyways?"

"I don't know," he leader sighed. "I often have trouble sleeping. And, to tell you the truth, I don't really have anyone close to me."

Now that got the medicine cat even more confused. What did he mean by that? Wasnt Greenlily his mate? So how could Wolfstar say he had no one close to him? So many questions started wizzing through Doveheart's head, but she couldnt answer any of them. This was the topic where she failed at because she had never really known love.
"What do you mean by that?" She finally asked.

Wolfstar looked at his paws for a moment." Greenlily, I-I just don't love her anymore." he meowed awkwardly. "I guess I never really loved her in the first place." Wolftstar's secret was out and he couldn't take it back.

Sprucepaw stalked quietly through the under growth, his ears pricked for any sign of other cats. '' I'll show Wolfstar who's stuck in camp... '' The young tom meowed to himself under his breath. The sound of voices grew louder as he neared the thunderpath and curiosity made his paws move forward. Soon he could make out the voices; it was Wolfstar and Doveheart. What are they doing out so late? Sprucepaw wondered to himself as he got in a comfortable position to listen to the two older cats where he wouldn't get seen or scented. Blah, blah, blah. They're so boring! The apprentice thought to himself but then his ears pricked as Wolfstar mentioned his brother, Pinekit. Sprucepaw missed his brother dearly too, maybe Wolfstar wasn't so heartless after all... At least we can relate on one-[/size] Are you sane? Where's the shame
A moment of time passes by
You cannot rewind
Who's blame and where did it start
Is there a cure for your sickness, have you no heart? [/color][/size] All thoughts of sympathy and all hopes of a connection with his father were washed away completely, '' I- I just don't love her anymore. I guess I never really loved her in the first place. '' Sprucepaw sat completely still, his fur bristling. Were we just a mistake? Was I just a mistake? How could Wolfstar have done that? It would break Greenlily and Gladepaw's heart if they knew... The young tom thought angrily to himself. We don't need him. We never did! I'll take care of Greenlily and Gladepaw myself... He thought determinedly to himself. Not loving Sprucepaw was one thing... but not loving Greenlily either?
