Shadowtails eyes softened as he gazed at Dawnleaf. A new feeling, one he had not experienceed before, churned inside him. He calmly walked around Rowanfrost, who hissed a warning to him, and nudged Battlestorm away. The black and brown she-cat went to Rowanfrosts side and watched, eyes glaring, as Shadowtail gently nudged Dawnleaf to her paws, looking back with apologies towards the AshClanners, before crossing the border with Dawnleaf and disappearing deeper into RageClan territory. "Dawnleaf what happened?"

Dawnleaf looked akward, not meeting Shadowtail's gaze. "No-nothing." She stuttered. "Come on, let's go." She started loping at a pace where it showed she did not want to talk about the recent event.

Shadowtail's orbs darkened, though he did not respond. If Dawnleaf had something on her mind, she should tell him. "Come now, I know better than to believe that. Whats wrong?" The black tom meowed, though his voice was slightly tense.

Dawnleaf stopped. Her body started shaking violently. "It isn't something you could understand." She meowed softly. SHe now could identifie the feeling. Love. She loved Shadowtail, but didn't want him to think she was a bloody killer. Who would believe me? She wondered. The confusion showed in her eyes. Above that was fear. She was afraid, of so many things. Right now, it was this new feeling. Love tainted her gaze, as she looked into Shadowtail's eyes.

Shadowtail was nearly startled at the expression he saw in Dawnleafs eyes. Though at the same time it made his insides churn with relief. Never before had he actually seen someday look at him with the expression of love in their eyes, and never had he expected to see it. But oh what a glorious feeling it was. Shadowtail smiled at Dawnleaf and murmured, "Don't worry, we all have our bad days."

She smiled in relief, but her smile was also tight with worry. How many bad days will I have with Duskleaf? She wondered. In her mind, Duskleaf saw the love. Interest spraked in her eyes as she planned. Dawnleaf stopped shaking and started in the direction of camp, feeling her ears grow hot with embarrassment. Did he see my love? She wondered. She had a stiff walk from the battle earlier. Abruptly, she collapsed, and gasped in pain. Something was wrong. Her leg started burning. "Please, go get help." She murmued to Shadowtail, her voice strangly calm. "I think I hurt it badly." She started caressing her leg, gently licking it. She didn't meet Shadowtail's gaze for she was afraid he would find her a weakling.

Shadowtail stpoped beside Dawnleaf and stared at her for a long moment. The first thought that went through his mind was that she was overreacting, but his mothers senses in him emerged, and he felt compassion towards her. "Alright, but I won't be long." He left her there, racing towards the camp for something to soothe her pain.

She watched Shadowtail leave, feeling sorrow, although she didn't know why. In her mind, Duskleaf attacked her with surprise. Before Duskleaf could take over, Dawnleaf screamed a terrifying wail. Almost anyone near the borders and in RageClan territory could hear her. Her eyes went violet, and she got up. At the same time, Shadowblaze came from some bushes, hearing the scream startled him. Ignoring the pain, she went to his side, and purred. She started circling around him. Shadowblaze became confused. "What are you doing Dawnleaf?" He asked. "You know Sootstar is my mate." "Why do you want her, when you can have me?" She purred. She turned her violet gaze toward Shadowtail, her expression smug. She turned back toward Shadowblaze. "COme on, come to the fun side." She tilted her head in a flirty way. In her mind, Dawnleaf felt her heart breaking as she saw what Duskleaf was doing. She was helpless to this evil spirit.

Shadowtail slid to a halt, whirling around and tearing off back towards where Dawnleaf had been, but upon his arrival, she was not there. He could hear someone conversing to his left, and turned towards its, making sure to stay upwind as he stalked forwards, peering out therough some ferns. Shadowtail could see Dawnleaf's excapade towards Shadowblaze, and anger urged through his paws, though he kept still.

Dawnleaf stopped, her eyes widened in fear. They slowly turned to green. In her mind, Duskleaf was attacked out of Danwleaf's grief. She would not bother her for a while. When Dawnleaf's eyes returned back to green, she started at horror at Shadowblaze, and quickly backed away. 'i-im sor-sorry." She stammered. She bumped into Shadowtail by accident, and let out a terrified yelp, before relaxing, finding out who it was. Then she gasped. "Oh, Shadowtail, I-I am so-so sorry." She bawled. She backed away from Shadowtail, expecting his anger. Shadowblaze ran away, and shook the incident from his head. Did her eyes always turn like that? He wondered.
OOC: I'm making sure Duskleaf won't be here for a while. She will be planning.

Shadowtail straightened himself and stared at Dawnleaf, his vocals unable to produce any kind of words. The black tom could only stare at her as if he had never known her before. "You used me, didn't you?" Shadowtail was finally able to rasp. "You played me like a mouse-brained fool."

Dawnleaf showed her saddness in her voice; she felt her heart breaking. "Never." She whispered. "If you must know, I never wanted to harm those AshClan cats, or, more importantly, you. I-" She hesitated. She started again. "I could never hurt you, becasue I...........love you. Surly you must have noticed my eyes?" She pleaded the last sentence.

"I saw your eyes as clear as day, yet I saw them here while you went after Shadowblaze. I do not know if I can trust you." Shadowtail looked away, neck muscles straining in the motion. He took a small breath and sighed, flanks falling in as he did.

"I would never go after another cat's mate. I know how that feels, and I promised myself I wouldn't ever do that. You must trust me." Her eyes darkened. "let's just say, a nightmare from the past has come to haunt me." Her eyes glazed over in sight terror as she saw the memories of those Duskleaf hd hurt.

"A nightmare." Shadowtail repeated, his voice disbelieving. "You have got to be joking right? Why would a nightmare possibly make you do those things!" Shadowtail meowed, growing frustrated. The toms tail lashed with anger, and his orbs glowed with it, but he managed to keep the sting out of his tone.
