Leopardback kept running and found herself at the mouth of a cave. I'm into rouge territory... she thought to herself. She sat down outside it, placed her belly o the ground, and began crying again. She hid her face in her paws, her back rising and falling with the sharp breaths.

Rave stopped to catch her breath. She had followed Leopardback this far but the she-cat had managed to give her the slip. "Leopardback, where did you go I am worried about you." She called as she took a step forward.

Leopardback rose her head up slightly, resting it on her paws as tears kept streaming down her wet face and down off her whiskers. "You're most likely the only one who is," she said softly, waiting to see if Rave heard her or not. It seems that I'm along in this world... Only Rave seems to care enough for me that she would follow me. Ravenwood is too blinded by his love... She began crying harder again, burying her face deep into her paws, her back continuing to rise with sharp breaths.

Rave's ears twitched as Leopardback's voice reached them. Picking up her pace she eventually made it to the cave. "Oh Leopardback!" She mewed as she came to lay next to the heart broken she-cat. "I am so sorry for you loss." She added as she licked the leopard spotted fur trying to comfort her. "I promise to stay here with you until you feel you don't need me any more."She whispered softly as a tear fell down her muzzle and onto the cold cave floor.

Leopardback managed to get a grip on herself. She sighed heavily as one more tear ran down her cheek. "Then you may be here a while," she said, swiftly licking the rogue's ear. "And no metter what anyone-" or rather, most cats, "-says, I'm not going back to my clan..." I'd still have to face them at gatherings... Sparkystar usually takes me unless I'm needed elsewhere. And with Ravenwood being deputy of SummerClan, he'll be going all the time. She gave another sigh. But... can I really do that to my clan? "Hey, Rave? Would you some with me to camp? Maybe even join me there?" Wait... can I pull her away from her sister like that?! Is that fair? "Um... never-" she paused again. She really wanted another cat by her side, but she didn't want to take Rave away from Karma.

Suddenly another cat appeared. She was panting quite heavily. Her blue/black fur glimmered, the white hairs sticking out significantly. Her tail was low, her face worried. She looked Leopardback in the eyes, her eyes a deep green with blue and with yellow around the pupil. She's so beautiful! The two cats thought at the same time. "Uh, hello," The she-cat spoke softly. "Hello," Leopardback replied, attempting to wipe away her tears. "You look a little lost." "Not quite," The she-cat retorted. "I found my father's clan quite well." She stuck her nose up. "Anyway, have either of you seen a white kitten with pink eyes? Well, I guess she's not a kitten anymore." She brought her nose down with worry. Leopardback paused, thinking. She shrugged, wanting to get a name out of the poor cat. "What's your name?" She finally asked. The she-cat threw her an embarrassed glance. Leopardback cocked her head. "Uh... Drench," she decided finally. Leopardback shot her a disbelieving glance. "Why did you pause so long?" Drench sighed, beginning to tell her entire story. ((okay, her story is really long, so Here's the link to her bio, which has her entire background... oh, and make sure Rave still responds to Leopardback's first post :3)) "Ah, I see..." Leopardback sighed. She looked down, unable to meet Drench's eyes. "If I remember correctly, there is a white cat in SpringClan-" "Where's that?!" Drench was on her with questions. She backed up toward the edge of rogue territory. "Careful, now! Don't go out of our territory yet! Can you smell it?" Leopardback asked, astonished. Drench shook her head, her nose tainted from being in a twoleg nest for so long. Leopardback pointed with her tail toward SpringClan. "I'll be following you shortly, I just need to work a few things out with my friend, Rave, here." Drench bowed to Rave and ran off.

Rave blinked she wanted to be with Karma but deep down she knew that Leopardback needed her more than her sister did. She was about to answer Leopardback when the other she-cat came roaring in. At first she had been weary of this new cat, but after hearing her story she relaxed. This sounded like another cat that might need her help. After a few more exchanged words Drench left. With new found confidence she smiled at Leopardback. "You need me more than my sister right now, I will follow where you lead, because you are my friend." She said as she padded toward the cave entrance. "Lets help out Drench shall we?"

Leopardback's tail flicked. "But she's in a completely different clan than I am. Er, I mean, her sister's in SpringClan and I'm from AutumnClan." She sighed. "Would you join AutumnClan with me? Would you really help me instead of your sister? I would be forever in your debt..." Tears came to her eyes. She was unsure as to whether they were happy or sad.

Rave turned back and looked at Leopardback. "I am sure my sister will understand she knows I am not a kit any more and I can make my own decisions."She stated. "Well lets at least return to your Clan."She said waiting for Leopardback to lead the way. "It will all work out."

Karma arrived at the Four Willows and followed her sister's scent all the way to the Dark Caves. She kept her ears pricked, as she knew she was in rogue territory now. Before long, she managed to spot Rave and Leopardback. Just in time too, it seemed as if the two she-cats were about to leave. "There you are!" Karma called, darting over to her sister and burying her face into Rave's neck. "I came to get you, just like I promised. Are things okay now?" She asked, turning over to Leopardback. "I'm so sorry." The black-and-white she-cat pressed herself against Leopardback for comfort. "I really am." Although there were tears in her eyes, Leopardback didn't look so upset now. She was probably over it and ready to return to her Clan. "We can walk you back to your Clan if you want. Ohh, and Rave, you'll love SummerClan! It's beautiful, and the cats there are so friendly! I think we'll fit in just fine! Are you ready?"

Rave blinked in surprise as Karma appeared. "Karma, I have decided to join Leopardback's clan." She said somewhat sheepishly. "She needs me and I don't want to feel like a burden to you and Ravenwood." She added as she stared at her sister. They had been together all their lives it was going to be difficult to go their separate ways now, but she knew she had to. "I am sorry Karma." She whispered.

Leopardback stared uneasily as Karma came back. She stifled a growl as Karma pressed her flank against her own. She looked down, averting her eyes as Rave explained it all. Is this right? To pull these two sisters apart? But I really need Rave now... She's the only one, other than Sparkystar, that I trust. "Please don't keep Rave from me," she whispered in a low voice, mostly to herself, wondering if Karma had heard her selfish plead.

Karma felt Leopardback stiffen at her touch and quickly pulled away. "What? But-" Karma stammered, holding back bitter tears, "Rave! You-" Breaking off and swallowing hard, Karma tried once again to speak. She couldn't seem to get the words out. "You promised." She whispered at last. "I-I got so excited! I need you too, I-I would never think of you as a burden!" I'm not going to cry, The black-and-white promised herself, closing her pale silver eyes. I'm not going to let them see me cry. Karma turned as Leopardback spoke. But she's my sister! Her mind screamed. You can't do that! Seeing that there was no use in protesting, Karma stopped speaking all together. She stood there for a while, taking in deep breaths. Without another word she turned tail and ran, back to SummerClan, back to her beloved Ravenwood. Now I know how it feels, She thought, her paws flying over the ground, To have someone I love taken away with me. I took away her love, she took away my sister.

Rave's paws itched to chase after her sister, but she knew that she had made the right decision. "It's okay she will understand eventually." She said as she brushed her tail across Leopardback's shoulder. "Lets go yo your clan." She said after a moment.

Leopardback bowed her head uneasily, closing her eyes. She opened them to saddened slits. "Something doesn't feel right, Rave," she finally said. "Just because they say revenge is sweet and having someone near you is a great feeling. I just never thought it would be taken like this. I never thought she'd take this like revenge. But I really want you with me, Rave. But... I really don't know if this is right. You promised her? You shouldn't break a promise." But if Rave leaves me, I'm not going back to AutumnClan. I'll have to reason to. Especially if Rave does decide to follow Karma. Her brain was turning in its skull. "This isn't right!" She sobbed. She began to run after Karma but paused. "Rave, don't try to follow me, please! I promise, I'll be back to take you to my Clan," she attempted to smile before she ran off again.
