Heathersong sat at the creeks banks, staring thoughtfully, almost absenmindedly, at the churning blue waters. The she-cats creamy white pelt shone like silk ion the afternoon sun. She lifted her gaze upwards. Willows stood along the creeks banks, providing spots of shade. Heathersong stayed in the sihnlight, preferring its caressing warmth across her back. The she-cat smiled and sighed, but her happy mood was quickly dashed as she remebered the Empties, that had taken her captive and killed so many others. Claws sinking into the pebbly creek bank, Heathersong growled aloud at the thought.

Ivysong was meandering along the bank of the creek, when suddenly she saw Heathersong. She felt pity for the she-cat who had gone through so much as an apprentice. She was so brave when she was held prisoner by the empties. Ivysong thought. I wonder if I could of been that brave. She padded closer to the young warrior, her black and white pelt reflecting the sun's light. Her bright green eyes didn't leave Heathersong as she approached. "Hello." She meowed, trying to start a conversation.

Heathersongs head jerked up slightly, surprised at Ivysongs sudden appearence. "Ivysong. How are you?" the cream colored she-cat asked, looking over at the black and white pelted warrior. She could only wonder what might have been going through the other she-cats mind. Heathersong stood and smiled at Ivysong before padding closer to the creeks edge, letting one paw cool off in the waters chill. So long ago it seemed since Palewind had taught her how to fish here.

"I'm doing great." Ivysong meowed. "How have you been?" She asked, watching as the other she-cat padded over to the edge of the creek. She too walked over to the edge, and looked into the water. She saw her reflection rippling in the slow flowing water as she waited for Heatherpaw to answer. She heard someone else padding up behind them, and swiveled her ears towards the noise. After taking in the scent, she realized it was just the Meadowclan deputy, Palewind. She acted like she didn't notice, and waited for him to come join her and Heathersong.

Heathersong smiled, mouth open as she began to reply, but instead smiled wider and meowed, "Palewind. Nice you to join us." She purred, having scented the deputys approach. She may have been delayed a warrior ceremony, but she took that time to enhance her senses, particullarly her sense of smell. Heathersong then looked at Ivysong and replied, "I've been fine. But dwelling on the past has become a problem of some sorts for me."

Palewind padded out to join the two she-cats at the water's edge. "Well scented, Heathersong." He meowed. "I was thinking about pushing the two of you into the creek." He meowed, his eyes shining with mischief. Ivysong just rolled her eyes. "If you push me in there, I'll pull you in with me." She meowed before turning back to Heathersong. "I would imagine it is. Not many cats have been through as much as you. And I don't even think many can go through that much."

"Heathersgon nodded at Ivysong's words, meowing, 'sometimes I wonder if I was meant to have died at the Herb Tree that day. I think the only thing that really saved me was jumping. And only then did a bush save me from breaking my neck when I missed the branch." Heathersongs voice grew tight at the thought of the Empties, especially Stlkr809. She had loathed the Empty with every fiber of her being. But though she tried to let go of the past, it seemed to always find her.

"If you were meant to die, you wouldn't be here right now." Ivysong meowed, looking over at Palewind to back her up. "She's right." Palewind meowed, his eyes gleaming. "If you were really meant to join Dreamclan, nothing could of stopped that. Dreamclan helped you live. Maybe they have plans for you."

Heathersong's claws rettracted into her paws as she let her anger go, wanting nothing more than to believe what Palewind and Ivysong said. "Possibly. But what would I be so important for?" The she-cat asked, looking over her shoulder at Palewind and Ivysong, withdrawing a wet and cold paw from the creek, having forgotton it was there.

Palewind and Ivysong exchanged looks, then both of them turned back to Heathersong. "I don't know." Palewind meowed. "Maybe when we get back to camp you can talk to Hailstorm. He can tell if your destiny is intertwined with Dreamclan." He curled creamy brown tail around his paws as his bright eyes focused on something in the distance. Ivysong just nodded in agreement to the tom's words.

Heathersong smiled at Palewind, knowing the tom was only trying to comfort her. "Thanks. I'll ask him about that then." Not wanting to seem too soft to the other warriors, she then growled, "But I bet it won't be anything of importance." Though her tone was rigid, her violet eyes still glowed appriciativly. "Should we hunt?" HEathersong suggested.

"Yes." Palewind meowed. "That's a good idea." He looked into the creek, then turned his head to look around. "Would the two of you like to fish or hunt for something else?" He asked, looking at the she-cats. "It doesn't matter to me." Ivysong meowed. "I'll let Heathersong choose." The she-cat turned her gaze to Heathersong, waiting for her decision.

Heathersong stared back at Palewind, meowing, "I wouldn't mind fishing. Might as well while my paw is wet." She purred, looking at Ivysong for approval. She thought about her sister Nightcloud suddenly, and turned back to Palewind. "Have you seen Nightcloud?"

Ivysong nodded at the other she-cats choice and looked into the water. Heathersong's question made Palewind think. "No actually." He meowed. "I don't remember seeing her at all lately. Do you know where she is?"

"I had thought she had been with you, so I didn't think much of it." Heathersong replied. "I'm sure she's fine though. Lets just start hunting." Without waiting for a response from either Ivysong or Palewind, Heathersong stood and moved further downstream and sat upon the creek banks, peering into the water for fish.
