Never again (Sand)

OOC: I think I was going to make a thread with Moonblaze and Lakepounce, but this never got through. So here it is! 

Lakepounce has just been treated from blindness. Basically, she went the same way as Longtail: a rabbit kicked her in the eyes, and they got infected.

No.
No.
No.
Lakepounce was in shock. This couldn't be happening! It had to be one out of infinity chances! She couldn't have lost her sight.

It was that rabbit, that stupid rabbit, who had kicked her in the eyes and blinded her permanently. The medicine cat had said it was unreversable. There was nothing she could do about it.

Nothing.
Nothing.
Nothing.

"Oh StarClan," she whispered to the sky, which she couldn't see. She wasn't even sure if she was facing the sky, or just a tree. but there were barely trees in WhisperClan. Then again, almost one out of infinity chances she'd be facing a tree; she had already struck the impossible, so must be possible to do it again. "Why must you punish me like this? What have I done?" Throwing herself to the ground, she wailed. "What have I done?!"

Moonblaze was with his younger sister Falconpaw who was telling him about her training. "Yeah that's great, " he meowed not really paying attention to his younger sister. He had heard about Lakepounce getting hurt by a rabbit and he was more worried about her than about her than about how his younger sisters training was going. He heard Falconpaw mutter something about him never being there for her anymore before stalking away. He heard her stalk off and he thought of calling her back and apologizing but he decided against it. 'I'll apologize later,' he thought and shook his head letting out a sigh.

The sound of Lakepounce's wail reached his ears making him flinch. 'I should go see her now,' he thought tasting the air. Once he had picked up her scent he began to follow it ignoring everyone else in the camp as he followed Lakepounce's scent. Using his whiskers he was able to keep himself from running into the she-cat and sat down next to her. He wasn't really sure what to say to her since he wasn't exactly sure what was wrong with her. 'Maybe I should have asked the medicine cat that before I came over here, ' he thought frowning.

"Lakepounce, everything will be alright," he soothed. 'Wait, am I turning into my mother?" he asked himself as he remembered his mother having done something like this when he had been upset.

[Lionhearted]

"Everything will be all right."

"Moonblaze? Is that you?" she asked hesitantly. She recognized him by scent and voice. "Oh, Moonblaze," she sighed, "you must know how I feel. It's so miserable, being unable to see! I can feel the wind, but I cannot see the trees that it blows! I can feel the rain, but I cannot see the sky it falls from." Rolling onto her stomach, Lakepounce closed her sightless eyes. "How do you cope?" she whispered. "I can't live like this."

[Sand]

"Yes, It's me, " Moonblaze meowed when he heard her question. He hoped that she hadn't gotten to hurt when the rabbit clawed her. The sound of her voice snapped him out of his thoughts and he held back a purr whenen he heard her say his name a second time. He didn't know why but he almellowed.iked it when she said his name. However, when he heard what she said about not being able to see horror shot through him. Though he had gotten use to being blind he still didn't like being blind and definitely didn't like it when others were blind.

"I have to admit it's hard being blind but after awhile you get use to it," he meowed wishing he could go back to before the incident with the rabbit so that he could've stopped Lakepounce from being blinded. "Don't worry I'll be there for you. I promise to help you through this, " he meowed. "I don't know why this happened, but I promise I won't leave you to face this on your own, " he told her.

[Lionhearted]

"Thank you," she whispered, unconsciously leaning against him. He was so nice, Moonblaze. Who cared what he looked like? She couldn't see anyway. He was a great guy, she knew just that. "You're such a good friend," Lakepounce purred, "any she-cat would be lucky to have you." She sighed. "I guess this is my life now. I'll cope somehow. I'm just glad you're here to support me. I'll need all the help I can get," she said mournfully. "Want to go for a walk? I need to get used to this blind thing. Don't you miss the light, Moonblaze?"

Moonblaze was surprised when Lakepounce leaned against him but he didn't move away. He had to admit that it felt nice to have someone's fur pressing up against his. "You're a good friend too Lakepounce," he meowed flicking his ears back and forth. He had been blind for moons and he had somewhat gotten use to it. When he heard the second part he let out a sigh. "Maybe....there are a lot of our clan mates who treat me poorly because I am half clan," he meowed lashing his tail. "Don't worry it gets better. Falconpaw use to try and sneak up on me and would get irritated when she couldn't," he meowed amused. "Your other senses will become stronger," he meowed. "Sure, a walk sounds great," he meowed frowning when he heard her question. "Sometimes, but if I hadn't disobeyed Fangstar I wouldn't be blind so I guess I brought it upon myself," he meowed.

[Lionhearted]

Lakepounce hesitantly hobbled to her feet, but she frowned.

"You disobeyed Fangstar? Why? And he did this to you?" she asked in unfeigned disbelief. She had always had a deep respect for the white leader, and she knew from Thrushleap that he could be harsh to rule-breaking cats. but clawing someone's eyes out? That was not part of the warrior code... "did you just not listen to his orders? Because Fangstar couldn't do that. That's so cruel."

[Sand]

"What? No Fangstar didn't do this those Leafclanners did. I wanted to help the clans get rid of Silverstar, so I disobeyed Fangstar's orders against apprentices joining in the battle. I guess I got cocky, because I don't really remember what happened," he told her. "Fangstar hated Silverstar, because of her two of Fangstar's kin was blinded. Fangstar is my grandfather, and my aunt was blinded by Leafclan when she was only a kit," Moonblaze meowed with a sigh.

[Lionhearted]

Lakepounce twitched her ears, meddling in silence for a moment. "Are they really that bad, or was it the same group of cats? I have a friend, Laurelheart, in LeafClan, and she's really nice for an enemy cat.

"I've only had older siblings," she sighed. "And I'm sorry about your kin. I never met Silverstar- in fact, was born right after she died- but I heard she was horrible. Was she really that bad? From what I heard of her kithood, she didn't sound so... evil."

OOC: You do realize that I have Moonblaze as being younger then her, unless you dropped her age.

IC: "I'm not saying all Leafclan cats are terrible. Our former deputy was once a Leafclan cat. Then there is Darksun. Shadowice is half Leafclan, half Whisperclan and shr isn't so bad. However, there were Leafclan cats who were as ready to spill blood as Silverstar was," he meowed with a small shake of his head.

"I don't know anything about Silverstar's Kithood, but I've never heard of an evil kit either. From what I understand there use to be a clan called Frostclan, and Silverstar led an attack on the clan destroying it. The survivors fled to the other clans or fled clan territory. Also there have been evil Whisperclan cats. Lets not forget about Lionice," he meowed a low growl rumbling in the back of his throat.

[Lionhearted]

"Lionice." Lakepounce closed her eyes. "I've heard of that name, but I never understood. There's good and bad in everyone, right? So these cats must've gone through something horrible for them to be like this way. Nobody's born evil." She raised her head, and her sightless eyes frowned upon Moonblaze momentarily. "Evil WhisperClan cats? Are there still some that you suspect?"

OOC: How old is he? Lakepounce is supposed to be around 24 now.

[Sand]

OOC: 20 moons I guess. Fangstar is 60 moons and Falconflight was born when he was 20 moons old. Icesong was born when Fangstar was 26 moons old. Icesong had him when she was 14 moons old.


IC: "Lionice was once our clan mate, and she loved Fangstar but he could never return the feelings. When she realized this she became bitter and angry and started training in the darkforest. She eventually snapped killing Wildfire and Fangstar who had followed her attacked her and she took his first life from him. After that Fangstar exiled her," he meowed with a shake of his head. When he heard the question he hesitated. "My mom and my younger sister, Goosepaw, have my acting strange lately," he finally admitted.

[Lionhearted]

"Huh," said Lakepounce, looking somewhat thoughtful. "Well, hm, I guess this stuff was kept hushed up- I never knew a thing about it. Lionice." Flicking her tail, she wondered exactly how many lives Fangstar had left. Hopefully enough so that he could stick around for a while. She couldn't stand the thought of Thrushleap becoming leader so quick, while she'd only just gotten blind. "There's been a lot of tension between some cats," she told Moonblaze, "Thrushleap's been saying. but that old buzzard-head is suspicious about everyone. What do you think of him?"
