Ravenwing sat alone on a stump, trying to force back the tears. His brother had always been cruel to him, but never had he said anything so horrible. They both knew that whatever was eating at Hawkwing wouldn't be there forever. They knew they would be best friends again, just sometime in the future. Now Ravenwing was questioning the feeling of hope that had lingered there for so long. It was slowly leaking out of him, like even the wind wanted to steal it from him. He could smell the scent of his brother as he approached, but he didn't know what to expect from the meeting. Maybe something nice would happen, like when other cats would reassure their friend by telling them that they didn't mean it and that it had just slipped out in their rage. Perhaps Hawkwing would even vow to be best friends with him from now on. That would be nice if it were to happen.
Hawkwing froze, his pelt blending in with his surroundings. He could see Ravenwing now and felt something prickling at his gut. He tried to regret what he said, but something inside him actually meant it. Those words echoed in his head still. "I don't even know if I want to be in the same clan as you anymore, let alone your brother." For some reason his heart was shouting at him to push his brother away. It told him that something bad would happen if they stayed close, so he had listened to it. He sometimes questioned it, but it overpowered any doubt. Ravenwing looked up and their eyes met. Hawkwing froze, unable to think up anything to do or say. They just sat, and stared at each other until Ravenwing bared his fangs at his brother and hissed, "Just go away." Hawkwing didn't move but continued to stare at his brother. His face was as blank as his insides right now. He couldn't feel any emotion right now even though he wanted to feel upset. The tom's mind remained blank.

The tom cat prowled through the undergrowth, keeping his pawsteps quieter than church mice. If he even knew what church mice were. He didn't even know what a church was. He paused when he sensed other cats around, and kept his belly low, brushing against the weeds and dirt. He also could sense prey, but he had to obey his clan leader and check on the two brothers, to check on them. Blackclaw stopped and crouched in a thick bush, and thanked his mother and father, and their ancestors for his fur coloring. They probably wouldn't see him.
It was saddening, to watch the two. He dug his claws into the dirt to release anxiety from his body. Blackclaw also wanted to find his mate, Lightstep, and wanted for those two to make up and go back to the clan, happy and unscratched.

Hawkwing finally shook his head. "No." He said quietly. Ravenwing couldn't quite understand what his brother meant. Usually Hawkwing would gladly leave. "What?" "You heard me. Don't act stupid." The reply was harsh, but it seemed to cheer Ravenwing up a bit. Hawkwing could tell by the strange look deep in his brother's eyes, other that he stilled seemed about ready to chew his ears off. "Look, just forget about earlier, okay?" Ravenwing looked down at his paws. "Why are you doing this?" His brother was confused. "Doing what? I didn't say anything mean." He was still a bit snappy, but that was normal for him. It wasn't as bad as before. "No, but it's what you're trying to say. You haven't tried to cheer anyone up in a while." Ravenwing forced a smile and relaxed. "I'm not trying to cheer anyone up, I just didn't want you thinking..." Hawkwing broke off. He hadn't said anything like this to his brother in a long time. "Gosh, I don't even know why I followed you here. It's just a waste of my time." With that, it was all broken. The smile seemed to have been slapped of Ravenwing's face. Everything seemed to hurt even more now. It was like the air was trying to strangle him and the stump he was on was trying to eat him. Everything seemed darker. All the darkness closed in and something in his brain snapped. He hadn't felt rage like this before. He bared his fangs at his brother again and launched himself at him. "How can you just turn away like that?" Hawkwing leapt out of the way and retaliated by digging his claws into his brother's back as he shot past. "Mousebrain! What're you doing?" Ravenwing collapsed and curled up into a ball. Hawkwing took a step back and mouthed, 'What do I do?'

Blackclaw had to bite his own paw to keep from interfering and jumping into the fight. Well, it hadn't turned into a fight yet. He tensed and prayed to StarClan it wouldn't get worse than just a little tussle. But then he remembered Lightstep, and started to think that StarClan was turning their backs to the Clans.

Hawkwing looked around frantically. He hadn't hurt his brother had he? He took a small step towards Ravenwing and sniffed at him. No movement. He wasn't bleeding all that bad. At least it didn't look like it. "I'll be back, brother!" He shouted and shot off towards camp. He didn't go very far until he collided with Blackclaw.
(Sorry it's taking me so long with this one.) [/size]

(No, it's alright. =3 )
The tom was not expecting for him to hurry away, and was hit hard by Hawkwing. He had the wind knocked out of him, but he regained it quickly, and had not fallen down. "You two. I'm here on permission. Our leader told me to look after you, in case you two fought. Come with me." his meow was hard and demanding, and Blackclaw turned around, heading back towards camp. He turned to make sure they wouldn't bolt for it.
