Lilacpaw nodded, but her face twisted into a look of pure hatred. "If Demonstorm comes here, I'll be glad to get a chance to kill him," she hissed furiously, "And I won't let him get either of us. That piece of fox dung better not come near my Clan, or I'll personally kill him." She looked away, softening to the peaceful, normal, not often seen anymore Lilacpaw. "I...I looked up to him," she whispered, "I thought....thought that he was so great, the best warrior of all. And everytime I looked at him, I thought, I want to be like him." She closed her eyes. "I was wrong. I don't want to be like him. Ever."

Stormpaw nudged Lilacpaw affectionatly, forgetting about how he felt at the moment. "I understand. He was my mentor, and he lied to me as he killed Fawnstar. I wasn't able to save him, I was too confused. But I know now that Demonstorm would never kill a leader for the good of the Clan. But I learned it too late." Stormpaw looked away, still remembering the last moments before Fawnstar died. "I won't let him harm you, not now, not ever, because of what I did."
OOC: When they become warriors, are they going to be mates??

OOC: Yeah, I thought we agreed on that...
Lilacpaw just looked down at the ground, sighing. "Stormpaw, I'm really afraid," she murmured, "If Demonstorm comes here, the whole Clan is in danger. Even though I pretend to be so brave and what not, really, will it ever end? He killed a LEADER with many times more lives than him. Who's to say we can really beat him?"

"Because, if you need to, you can use me as leverage. I don't care anymore what he does sto me, as long as you and my mother and father, even the whole Clan, is safe, I'd willingly go if he wanted." Stormpaw flicked his tail over Lilacpaw's mouth before she could respond. "This is my choice. If he wants me, then he can get me."
OOC: oh ok, and should we wait for Dark?

OOC: Dunno XD
Lilacpaw snarled angrily, and quite suddenly her mood shifted. She jumped to her paws and turned to leave. Looking back over shoulder, she spat in his direction, "You mouse-brain, sacrificing yourself won't do any good! He'd just come back and kill everyone later! Good riddens!" And with that, she tore off in the other direction, running out and onto camp outskirts. She lay down, eyes brimming with unshed tears. But she wiped them away, and got up, then walked into a patch of soft clover. She settled down, and closed her eyes, though could not sleep now.

Stormpaw watched silently as Lilacpaw left him there. He didn't know what to do. So much was going through his mind. I would sacrifice myself only if thats what Demonstorm wanted, if he wanted revenge. Which he most certainly would. Stormpaw looked at his paws, thinking it over. Demonstorm would surely come for his kits, but in the process would he possibly take Stormpaw as well as an act of vengeance?

Lilacpaw suddenly looked up, eyes flying open. She perked her ears at a sound in the bushes, and then jumped to her paws, snarling. But the sound stopped. She waited a few moments, and when nothing happened, she shrugged it off and turned and trotted very slowly back to the apprentice den. She didn't even shoot one glance at Stormpaw, and then plopped down, closing her eyes again.

Stormpaw watched Lilacpaw reenter, not saying anything. He waited until she had laid down before moving, sighing and shuffling his paws nervously. "Listen, Lilacpaw, I know it doesn't seem like the right thing to do, but if it meant that you would be safe, I would do it. I would die for you." The toms gray ears flicked as he looked away, murmuring in an almost mouthing voice, "I love you Lilacpaw..."

Lilacpaw growled. "I love you too, Stormpaw," she hissed, "But thats why I won't let you do that." She didn't say anything more, trying to shut him out, were he to speak again. She thought deeply a moment, breathing deeply. Then she opened her eyes. Turning to Stormpaw she blinked up at him. "I won't let you do that," she whispered, "I would do it instead."

Stormpaw shook his head, gazing at Lilacpaw with pain. "I would never be able to live with myself if you did that. Besides, Demonstorm has nothing against you. He has everything against me." Stormpaw murmured. He didn't know what to do. So much was going on right now. He moved over to Lilacpaws side, nuzzling her. "Please, you must understand."

Lilacpaw snarled. "No," she retorted, and jumped to her paws, "You think what your doing is noble and brave! Well, its not! Its cowardly!" She lashed her tail, enraged. "So called 'sacrificing' yourself won't make anything better. Only for you! Because even if you die, Demonstorm will kill us all," she accused, "Letting him kill you is only seeking relief from the worries of the life you live! And if you do that, Stormpaw, I will hate you. I don't care WHAT you say, mouse dung for brains, what I say is true!" She had been advancing on him, and she unsheathed her claws unconsciously. She narrowed her eyes to slits, knowing she was right.

Stormpaw's green orbs widened and he back away, stumbling ove a small twig. He stared at Lilacpaw, wide eyed, having never encountered this side of her before. "Lilacpaw, please." He choked out, beginning to tremble as her claws were unsheathed.

"NO!" she repeated, shouting now. She snarled, raking thorn-sharp claws down his cheek. Her eyes finally took in the crimson blood seeping from the wound she had caused. She stifled a gasp, still scowling, and turned and sprinted out of the den, swerving and ducking behind the undergrowth back behind the den. She hid underneath it, and closed her eyes.

Stormpaw winced as Lilacpaws claws sliced into his cheek and muzzle. Scarlet blood dripped onto his paws and the moss nest beneath him. He sat there, shaking uncontrollably. The toms green eyes clouded over with the emotions that surged through his veins.

Lilacpaw took ragged breaths, trying to calm herself down. Opening her eyes, she took a few more breaths. She looked down at her outstretched paw, gasping. The fur between her claws was dyed red, and some of it wasn't even hers. Her ivory claws were crimson and she shut her eyes tightly once again.
