Tarmac stumbled into a clearing, he wasn't sure where he was right now, all he knew was that he some how came out victorious in a small scrap he had with a rather large cat. Now, if Tarmac was saying a cat was big, the cat was actually huge. The tom ever so slowly made his way into a sitting position before all of the sudden falling to the ground. There was only one visible wound on him, but it was gushing out blood at an incredible rate. 

The large loner was just about to close his eyes, let the sleep over take him, when a rustle started in the tree line. He weakly hissed in the general direction, eyes drooping ever so slowly. "Leave!" He coughed out as best as he could. He wouldn't make it through another battle, he wasn't even sure if he could stand up at this very moment. He just need to sleep, just for a few minutes and then he would be fine.

Lullaby peered out of the treeline, and she had hoped the yowls of battle she had heard earlier were not Tarmac's, but she was wrong. Immediately when she saw the gushing blood she rushed to Tarmac's side and tried desperately to remember what the old loner Tom had told her about wounds oh so long ago. She suddenly remembered cobwebs. It was the only thing she could remember. She looked around frantically, desperately in search of nearby cobwebs for the cat that made her feel so special. She looked back at the wound again, trying to determine how much cobweb she would need.

Tarmac tried to open his eyes but he had no energy to move. He knew a cat was here but he had no idea who. "Leave or kill me swiftly." The large tom managed to barely get out. He couldn't even move his body at this point, he was weak, he deserved to die. Maybe the slow death was what he deserved as well.

[Lunalupusvenator]

quickly the dark colored fluffy she cat pawed up some cobwebs, and pressed them against the wound, she definately over matted it but she didn't stop there. When she applied the giant mass she ran to the nearby tree and jumped onto it, quickly pawing some from inside its hollow opening, probably once a bird or squirrels nest... She ran back and forth till there were no more cobwebs inside the tree, and she buried her face in Tarmac's fur and whispered "Stay with me Tarmac..."

[NIXX]

"Lullaby..." The large tom barely got out. He wanted her here with him. He could almost feel her could almost smell her. Maybe that was what happened when you die, you could feel and scent the ones you loved. but if that was so why couldn't he do the same with his siblings, his mother, and his father. He loved them and they weren't here. So maybe he wasn't dying. Daring to play with that thought, Tarmac opened his eyes to be greeted with the familiar sight of fur, he would know that pelt anywhere. With a grown he tried to push himself up, he couldn't let his beautiful Lullaby see him like this, he was supposed to protect her not look like he was a defeated cat. "I won. I beat the other tom." He managed to get out before he feel back to the ground, eyes still opened and focused on the she-cat.

[Lunalupusvenator]

Lullaby watched Tarmac struggle upwards and then fall back down. She lay beside him and watched his wound, she looked for any holes in the cobwebs and searched for a possible way for blood to escape. She tried her best to stay strong but lost it all at once, pleading Starclan for Tarmac not to die. She didn't want Tarmac to die, not now. She shook with sadness and her collar felt much tighter, the guilt of her not being there with him before to fight was overwhelming. She didn't feel like blinking for a second, afraid that with each blink would miss his final breath or miss something that could save his life.

Tarmac slightly smiled up at the she-cat sitting so close to him. A rough purr made its way past his lips as he looked at her. "You don't have to look so worried." The large tom tried to move but it hurt too much so he stayed where he was, starring at the she-cat he held so dear. "Believe it or not I have had worse and I didn't have anyone putting cobwebs and such on my wounds. It's just a scrap." He tried to make a joke but it he knew that the she-cat wouldn't find it funny, and in all honesty it really wasn't funny at all. "Lullaby, just talk to me." The she-cat hadn't said much to him, it was actually freaking him out just a little too much.

[Lunalupusvenator]

"Talk..." She looked at Tarmac and smiled "I met another cat somewhere around here." Lullaby looked straight ahead and suddenly became serious "I had kits once, I don't quite remember exactly how many, but I do remember that they all died one way or another, my little warm brown going last.. My owners.. "Housefolk". They took him from me." Lullaby smiled, still looking ahead "but now I have you, and I know that I'll be okay now. I know youll be okay, because I know you're tough." Lullaby looked at Tarmac again and purred.

[NIXX]

"Kits" Tarmac whispered out, rubbing his head into Lullaby's soft fur. The idea of towels taking away something from the beloved she-cat made his whole body tense. Tarmac knew he needed to settle down to calm down the she-cat but he was having a hard time doing so."What were you going to name the brown one?" After the words left his mouth he knew they probably weren't something you asked a mother about her dead kits. "I have always wanted to name one of my children, Scout. I just like that name you know?" He roughly purred into Lullaby's ear hoping that he was doing a better job of relaxing the sweet cat next to him. "You have me till you don't want me anymore. I'll never leave you Lullaby, I'll be strong for you."

[Lunalupusvenator]

Lullaby smiled, comforted by the toms words. She purred back "Sun. Because I believed every rising day I would see my child, he was the light of my day and it's okay I lost him, I wouldn't have found you." She held the last words closest to her heart, knowing she would die for Tarmac and she would loose all hope without him. "Scout is a beautiful name, I like it just as much as Tarmac." Her entire mood changed, she looked deep into his eyes and felt warm, even in the snow.

[Lunalupusvenator]

Lullaby tried her best to tend to Tarmac, hopeful for him every day. When it snowed she did her best to shelter him from it and kept the water at bay when it melted in the early stage of Newleaf. She had decided she liked this spot. It had a nice medium sized rock to lay on when the sun shone in through the winters clouds, which was certainly warm, and when she cleaned out the cobwebs from the tree it was actually a rather nice place to see the small clearing. She worked very hard and cleaned out the thorn bush beneath the tree, which was bloomed to a beautiful lush green, on which white roses with magenta within its buds entered full bloom. When it did snow in the winter when the bush was lacking any leaves or flowers she scattered dead leaves, even if they were wet, over the top of the thorns as best as she could, she kindly had given Tarmac the bush, where she would more than occasionally stay awake just to make sure he was indeed okay. A few scars remained on her paws and some very minor and unnoticeable ones on her face by the time she finished removing the extra thorns within the bush and discarded them in large pile behind the tree. Most of the time she slept at Tarmac's side, listening to his breathing before passing out. Lullaby had mostly hunted anything she could before, but with Tarmac she avoided the scaly things and sometimes spent all day long catching mice and other furred creatures. Today though, she caught her first rabbit and a mouse, She couldn't wait to give the rabbit to Tarmac. She bounded into camp and began to look for Tarmac, setting the rabbit down. "Tarmac?" she called
