Willownight looked around the warriors' den. The smell was terrible to him. He wanted to return to VortexClan, where his home was. He could never tell Flarestar why he was an exile, he was too ashamed. Breezestar probably wanted him dead, his blood spilled across the snow. He peered over and saw a cat looking at him, with eyes that pierced the night. Willownight focused his gaze to see who was it was, then narrowed his eyes in anger. "What do you want?"

Rowanblaze cocked his head to one side, surprised by the other cat's angry greeting. He paused, contemplating the manner in which he should answer. Shadows fell across his dark pelt as he thought, so only his gleaming yellow eyes were visible. "Nothing, really," he mewed at last, his voice dry and somewhat amused. "I was just wondering why a tom smelling of VortexClan was sleeping in the VoidClan warriors' den."

"I guess news doesn't go by very fast." he said to the tom. Willownight's eyes were harsh. "If you must know I am an exile of VortexClan, and I have come to VoidClan. I promised Flarestar I would give her information about VortexClan. So there. Now you know why I'm here. Happy?" he said in a monotone. He stared at the cat for a bit longer then stood up and walked out the den. He stared to the cave opening. "At least I'm not dead." he said under his breath. He stared back to see what the tom was doing.

Rowanblaze lowered his gaze. He knew only too well the pain of a cat in exile. The memory of the day his best friend had left VoidClan burned brightly in his mind. "It's hard," he mewed after a pause. "It's hard to sever old friendships. Old bonds." Here the tom rose and padded after the former VortexClan cat. "My name is Rowanblaze. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Willownight." he said, staring at the ground. "I have seen so much in my life--I thought it was perfect. And it was. I had a lover, I was a warrior, my life was great." He paused as the pain of admitting his secret love to Breezestar returned. "Then I became an exile, and my life changed."

Thornkit padded around the camp, beyond bored, not caring for what his sister did as sometimes, she was to boring and quiet for his tastes. He glanced around, a smell lingering here and there... but wait! There was a new smell, he sniffed the air, it was unlike any of the warriors, both the cat's scent as well as his clan. He blinked, standing still, whiskers twitching - a new cat? Silently he followed the scent, hoping nobody would notice as he made his way towards the warriors' den.
With glee, nobody had noticed him and he pulled his way into it. His eyes took in the den before quickly falling on the two tom's. "Who's that?" He mewed, glancing at Willownight before looking towards Rowanblaze.

"A VortexClan tom. An exile," Rowanblaze replied smoothly. "Ironic, isn't it? Here we are, two cats who probably once fought one another with bloodlust in our eyes. Yet now we're Clanmates." Even as he spoke the words, he knew they were lies, all of them. Willownight would never be accepted into the Clan the way Moonshadow was accepted into SkyClan. There would be cats less forgiving than Rowanblaze who would glare at him with gaze full of hatred. There would be cats who wanted nothing more than to rip his throat out. His life would no longer be "perfect," it would be miserable. Unable to trust any cat, not even those from his birth Clan.

Willownight stared at the warrior. "I will never see you as a Clanmate!" he spat. He stared at the tom with fury in his eyes. "I know that you are one of the kindest in this Clan, but I am not!" Willownight knew that part of this was a lie. When he was with Crystalshadow he was much kinder and acted more like Rowanblaze, but now he was in a strange place, a place that he used to hate and thought was a devil's palace, now he called it his home.

Thornkit padded over as he sat down next to Rowanblaze, both of the toms much, much bigger than he himself was. They were like looming trees, one's that could easily break you in half if you got on their nerves. His whiskers twitched, his tail moving back and forth, as he listened to Rowanblaze's smooth reply - yet there lay an undertone. One that as a kit, he couldn't really detect.
Everything was silent for a little, the other tom just staring at Rowanblaze and then sparks were set off. Thornkit watched silently, shaking just a little as he pushed himself closer to the Rowanblaze, not wanting to get hurt if Willownight decided to act out. When Willownight was finished, Thornkit silently watched him.. his words out before his brain caught up. "If you don't see Rowanblaze as a Clanmate, why are you in our Clan?" He mewed, looking up towards Willownight.

As Willownight spoke, Rowanblaze felt a pang of sorrow for him. He was in a strange, alien Clan, one that he'd lived his entire life hating. He would probably never feel at home in VoidClan. There was a feeling of togetherness in being part of a Clan, sharing joy and sorrow and pain. Rowanblaze knew, in battle, that he could trust his Clanmates with his back. Willownight would never be able to trust any cat again, with the exception of the lover he spoke of.
Thornkit's voice broke through the tom's thoughts and he looked at the kit, startled. His eyes softened. Then he rested his gaze on Willownight, waiting for the tom's answer.

Willownight looked down, sorrow in his eyes. "Where would I go?" he said. He stared at his paws shifting them like a scared apprentice. "I could never go to SkyClan, I wouldn't want to hurt her. I couldn't go home without losing my life. I had to go here, either that or leave this mountain." Images of Crystalshadow popped into his head. His thoughts came out as words. "What if I can never see her again?"

"What's this? I'd assumed your lover was a VortexClan cat. Then you said 'I could never go to SkyClan, I wouldn't want to hurt her.'" That must have been the reason he was exiled, Rowanblaze reasoned silently. It made sense. What the tom couldn't understand was why a cat would sacrifice his entire Clan for a single cat. Having never loved, he couldn't comprehend the depth of the feelings motivating Willownight.

"Well... no... um... kinda--no, not really!" he blurted. He looked up at Rowanblaze, feeling his pelt prickle with embarrassment. "Maybe I just don't want to go to SkyClan! Did you ever think of that!" he spat. He looked down at his paws. "You've never lost anything!"

Thornkit's eyes glanced at Rowanblaze, then back at the warrior. Everything seemed simple in his own eyes, even though he was still a kit and had yet to gain more knowledge of the world and what happened. "What does losing anything have to do with not wanting to go to SkyClan?" he mewed to Willownight. Thornkit was still pressed up against Rowanblaze and was surprised that no others came in like he had. "If you have someone you love in a different Clan, shouldn't you go there and be with them?" He continued, his voice questioning of that of a youngster. "If Leafkit or my mother ever went to go to another clan. I'd rather be with them and follow them wherever they go!" He purred, thinking happily of his mother and sister.

Willownight's eyes grew still. "But if you love them, you want them to be happy and have no pressure. If I went to SkyClan I would just make her feel like fox-dung. She would lose respect along with-" Willownight stopped for a moment. "Wait! I never said I loved a cat from SkyClan! And you don't need to know my personal life!"
