Rain fell steadily in grey sheets from the sky, rippling like silver fur. A incandescent blaze of lightning lit up the sky, stabbing downwards like a mighty claw trying to rake the plateau to shreds. A limp feline form lay slumped under a rock, white fur barely visible through splatters of mud and blood. The rainwater poured rapidly down the hulking forms of rocks, threatening to sweep the fragile body away. Thunder growled overhead, and a single snowy-furred ear twitched. The cat's eyes opened slightly, and she took in the storm-lashed scene with a blank emerald stare. Slowly, thoughts began to form in the wounded cat's mind. Where am I?

Jetclaw was just walking in the rain, he did'nt mind it that much, infact he always played in the rain when he was a kit. He noticed a pile of fur,lieing on the ground near a rock. He wondered if it was another dead cat, he felt a little worried. But then he saw the cat's ear flick, he thought, it's alive! I better go check and see if I can help um. He ran over to the wounded cat and looked down at her?He saw that she was wounded and bloody, he asked, "Hey, are you ok?" Of course she's not OK she's bleeding for StarClan's sake He scolded himself, and looked at her with yellow glowing eyes.

A faint voice reached Snowveil, seeming to come from a long way away. The warrior looked up, and blinked as she saw Jetclaw. She tried to form words, but only succeeded in making a choking sound. The snowy-pelted cat's ears filled with roaring, and spots swam in front of her eyes. She fell backwards limply, landing with a hard jolt on the rock.

Jetclaw gasped Snowveil... and jumped to her side, and said, "Oh, she can't here me... I better get her to the cave.." He thought, Ouch, that wound looks pretty bad. He grabed the scruf of her fur with his teeth and started dragging her to the cave.

Snowveil had fallen temporarily unconscious, but Jetclaw's teeth sinking into her scruff jolted her awake again. Hey! She realized that the warrior was trying to carry her, and growled softly. I can walk! She stuck out one paw, and tried to put weight on it. Snowveil let out a screech as pain seared through her paw and leg. The paw she had placed on the rocks was the one Nightshade had bitten, and it was badly mangled. "Jetclaw..." she gasped, wincing at the pain of speaking. "What happened..." Her voice trailed off weakly.

Jetclaw heard Snowveil say something, "Well, I found you lying on the ground..." he said while still dragging her into the cave. " When they got into the entrance of the cave and put her down and growled, "I should be asking you what happened. Did you fall or something?" he was a little irritated, well Jetclaw was always irritated. He looked at her paw, "Hey what happened to your paw?" he asked, a little worried.

"My paw?" Snowveil said, looking down at it as if she was seeing it for the first time. "I... I think a rogue bit it..." Her eyes were wide with confusion. She knew that something had happened to it, but she wasn't really sure. Her brain seemed to be floating in a fog. The warrior tilted her head to the side as she thought of Jetclaw's last question. Fall? Did I fall? She blinked. "I don't really remember..."

Jetclaw rolled his eyes, irritated that she could'nt remember and just went over to her and said, "A rogue bit it?" He looked it over and nodded, "Yeah that's definally a bite." He looked her in the eyes and asked, "Did you hit your head too? Because you don't seem to remember anything..." His dark blue eyes wandered to the top of her head.

"Hit my head..." Snowveil echoed blankly. "I don't remember..." She frowned. This is kinda weird... A large raindrop hit her on the shoulder and she jumped. "It's raining pretty hard. Should we go see where the rest of the Clan is?" If the battle's over, then they'll be in the caves. But where?

"Ok come on." He said, gesturing to her paw, "Can you walk on that paw?" He wondered why he even cared. He looked at her and smirked, "Do you need me to carry you again?" He said that in a sarcastic caring sort of way.He did'nt know why but he sort of did'nt like seeing her in that kind of state.

Snowveil bristled angrily at Jetclaw's sarcastic tone. "I can walk, thanks." I hope. She hobbled forwards a few paces, carrying her paw off the ground. She looked back at Jetclaw, and felt anger shoot through her. I'll show him! She carefully set her injured paw on the ground. It ached a little, but was nowhere near how painful she thought it would be. Grinning triumphantly, she put her weight on it. The grin was instantly replaced by an expression of shock as a lightning-bolt of pain shot up her paw and into her leg. The warrior clamped her jaws together to stop a howl of pain from escaping, and carefully raised her wounded paw. Snowveil continued walking, limping with as much dignity as a hobbling cat covered in mud and blood possibly could.
ooc- Not much dignity. ;D

He just stared after her, still smirking, oh Snowveil when will you learn?he thought. He padded over to her side, in case she might fall again. He noticed how angry she was and said, "I was just playing around, Snowveil..." he said. He then meowed, "But, if you think you can manage without falling on your face then be my guest." he looked at her bloody,mud-stained, drenched fur and asked, "Which rogue do you think did this to you?"

Snowveil's green eyes darkened as she tried to remember. "Rogue..." Her mind was filled with a swirl of fur and claws and blood. "It was..." She closed her eyes, trying to pull the memory out of her wandering mind. Black fur. Blue eyes, shining with malice. "It was Nightshade..." she said. Her paw burned as fiercely as if the rogue was still biting it. She remembered something else, too... "I killed him," Snowveil breathed, her green eyes welling with tears.

Jetclaw's eyes widened in disbeif, "You killed him?" He remembered Nightshade, that cat was never good anyway... he thought. He looked into her eyes. He knew it had to be hard to believe that you actually killed someone.His eyes softened and he meowed, "Don't cry, Snowveil, it's ok...I mean I would have done the samething..." He thought, why am I being nice to her all of a sudden?! This is'nt like me...

"I didn't mean to," Snowveil meowed, her green eyes full of anguish. "I don't want to be a murderer!" Suddenly, she burst into tears. The white warrior sobbed her heart out, tears leaving tracks through the grimy mud patches on her face. She didn't even care that Jetclaw was watching her. She just wanted to escape what she had done. I'm a murderer, and Jetclaw knows, she thought hopelessly. Now the Clan will probably throw me out.
