[[Nice powerplay there, Foxx. Never did that. And you ignored Eclipse, too!]] Eclipse watched Darkpaw from a distance, not wanting to be near him or his sister; bringing their mother up here from the waterfall cliffs had been more difficult than she'd ever imagined. Eclipse didn't like death. She'd seen too much of it, especially as of late; the fact that she'd caused most of it had done little to endear it to her. Now, though, she could see the aftermath of the damage she'd caused. And she couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Darkpaw. When Mooncrest had died, killed by her own paws, it had been a cold death, one that Eclipse had hated. Killing herself over the lost love of a tomcat... she'd thought it pathetic, and, in her heart of hearts, she still did. And, whereas her siblings had mourned plenty over their mother's death, Eclipse had done nothing but stand there, cold and silent, over the body as it lay in a pool of crimson fluid. She'd never really known Mooncrest or Venomfang; thus, she'd never really missed them, but felt cold indifference towards her parents. So now, Eclipse found herself wanting to curse at Darkpaw. And curse she did, albeit quietly. "At least you had parents," the black she-cat muttered darkly from where she stood. "At least you can miss them." [/blockquote] [[X3 Eclipse is love.]]

Darkpaw shot an irritated glance at this she-cat, his eyes still shadowed darkly. Oh, and that's something to envy? He snapped, challenging her with his green glare, daring her to smack him for being disrespectful. I mean, for StarClan's sake, you obviously had parents, too, at one point, yet I don't envy you. He stared at his paws moodily, wondering what made him speak so rudely to a she-cat who had helped him. He wanted to apologize - but not more than he wanted to scream in agony at the unfairness done unto him.

[[Eclipse X Darkmoon = BEST. PAIRING. EVER.]] Eclipse glared at the dark young tom through purple eyes. "You knew your parents, at least," the black femme hissed. "Your parents died together. And you and your sister can mourn them properly. Because you loved them." Eclipse looked away from Darkpaw suddenly, feeling guilty. She'd killed his parents, after all. Hell, it had probably been her fault that Venomfang had abandoned Mooncrest, that Mooncrest had died: because they both knew what was going to become of their freak of a daughter. And they didn't want to be around to see it. "My parents died like cowards, Darkpaw. I don't like talking about parents," She spat the word out with the bad memories that came with it, "because mine were too scared to see what would become of me. My father left my mom, and she killed herself without him. But, sometimes," Eclipse laughed, feeling insane as she voiced all the thoughts that had been running through her head. "Sometimes I remember doing it myself. Sometimes I think that I'm the reason my parents are dead. That I killed Venomfang, and my mom killed herself rather than hurt her little girl, the kit who'd grow up to be the black sheep of the family, the kitten who'd destroy the names of her ancestors with her very existence." Eclipse laughed again, a mad light dancing in her eyes now. [[... Yeah. Most Messed Up Couple ever.]]

ooc; This is late... sorry... xDDD But yeah, this is the best couple ever.
X -- X -- X -- X looking back at me i see that i never really got it right i never stopped to think of you i'm always wrapped up in things i cannot win you are the antidote that gets me by somethin' strong like a drug that gets me high As Eclipse ranted at Darkpaw, a mad gleam entered her eyes, and that's when his limbs screamed at him to run, run, run from this mad she-cat! Then, his pounding heart dropped into a steady rhythm, his ears rose from their flat position, and she relaxed visibly, the tension leaving his entire being as he realized what she was saying. Staring her in the eye, clear, wide emerald eye on her own, he answered, I s'pose we both have quite a family history, then, don't we? He smiled humorlessly, thinking about it. Who were her parents? They sounded like complete and total jackasses, leaving a little she-kit on her own because they were afraid of her. Even Darkpaw's parents were better than that; hell, they were a lot better. Shadow and Shroud had definitely been closed-minded, but at least they cared for their son and daughter.
what i really meant to say is i'm sorry for the way i am i never meant to be so cold never meant to be so cold cold to you, i'm sorry bout all the lies maybe in a different light you can see me stand on my own again 'cause now i can see Then, thinking how lucky his life had been compared to Eclipse, he felt guilty for making such a goddamned big deal out of Shadow and Shroud's deaths. It was inevitable, after all, two Faithful Shadows outcasts, fleeing from the law and the past, to be found dead. They had refused to join a Clan to keep them safe from the evils in the wild; Darkpaw and Mirrorpaw, at least, had escaped. Shadow, Shroud, and Eclipse's lives had been so disrupted... while his had been protected and nurtured. He had gone from one safe home to another.
you are the antidote that got me by somethin' strong like a drug that got me high what i really meant to say is i'm sorry for the way i am i never meant to be so cold i never meant to be so cold Looking back up after staring at his paws in thought, he softened his eyes and mewed to Eclipse in both sympathy and regret, I'm sorry. I... I... well, let's just say I knew cats with hard lives before. A lot. My parents, my mentor, some of the warriors in the Clan, my guardian Demon, and now you... and I never realized what it must have been like. Funny, how Eclipse had snarled at him insanely and he had retaliated with apology. But Darkpaw wasn't ashamed or sorry of his soft-hearted approach to argument. He knew what he said was true, and he still held to it. So, if Eclipse had thoughts of murdering her mother... well... Darkpaw used to hate his father, too. Sure, it was different... but were they really so different?
i never really wanted you to see the screwed up side of me that i keep locked inside of me so deep i always seems to get to me i never really wanted you to know so many thing that i had known i guess all i mean is no i never mean to be so cold

[[well, I certainly took my time with this, huh? Yeah, these two are just perfect for each other. X3]]
I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds But oh, God, I feel I've been lied to Lost all faith in the things I have achieved
Eclipse's violet eyes narrowed in a mixture of anger and insanity at the sound of Darkpaw's apology. "No," she muttered darkly. "You couldn't understand, kit. And they probably couldn't understand my life anymore than I could theirs." The mad light left her eyes, leaving behind the sparks of misery and despair.
Who was this tomkit, to try and sympathize with her? It wasn't something the onyx-pelted she-cat was used to, sympathy. After all, she'd spent much of her life on her own, disconnected from her emotions, from others. He certainly hadn't; he was too young to have had such experiences as she had. She'd trade his inner-state for hers in a heartbeat, though.
And I... I've woken now to find myself In the shadows of all I have created I'm longing to be lost in you (away from this place I have made) Won't you take me away from me [/i] The Falls were no place for her, Eclipse realized. They were dark, cold, dangerous: a reflection of her inner-self, you might say. How could she possibly become better, less splintered and ruined, if she continued to live here, where everything was shrouded in death?
But where would you go? a voice in her head asked. You're a murderer, Eclipse; you killed these kits' parents without a second thought. You killed your own parents, even, and your siblings? It laughed, a high-pitched, icy sound. Who knows what happened to Pine and Heron? We certainly don't remember, do we? No, the Clans' lands are no place for you. You'd kill them all, and be killed. Best to stay here, on the outskirts of their attentions, where we can't get into any trouble. Eclipse thought to protest, until the voice spoke again. Unless, you want to end up like every other cat in your ancestry? Dead, hated, driven mad by their illusions of love and want?
Eclipse couldn't argue with that. She never could argue much with that voice in her head. It was always right, always knew what was best for her, for the two of them. It had brought her here, after all, where they'd be safe from the attentions of others. It had warned her that the two dead cats were dangerous, and had advised her against so many things that could've brought them ruin. So why shouldn't she listen to it now, when it so clearly made sense? Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins I look into myself, but my own heart has been changed I can't go on like this I loathe all I've become
I've woken now to find myself In the shadows of all I have created I'm longing to be lost in you (away from this place I have made) Won't you take me away from me [/center] "Look," the black she-cat meowed quietly. "It's getting late. It's... it's not safe around here after sundown. And me, well..." She laughed quietly, an insane sort of laugh. "I'm not exactly the right sort of company a couple of Clan apprentices should be hanging around with. I'll take you back to your home, though, alright?" NO! Stupid, stupid girl! The voice raged, but Eclipse ignored it. She couldn't let Darkpaw or his sister get hurt by the things that lurked in the darkness of the night, could she? Lost in a dying world I reach for something more I have grown so weary of this lie I live
I've woken now to find myself In the shadows of all I have created I'm longing to be lost in you And, well, Eclipse couldn't deny that she felt a little more together, more aware, and less disconnected around these two. If they could pull her out of this dark hole she lived in, maybe she could live a normal life. A different life, one with feelings and love and real want and need, something her ancestors had never had, had never known. I have woken now to find myself I'm lost in shadows of my own I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from me. [/SIZE]

It's been 18 days Since I'd look at myself I don't wanna have to change If I don't then no one will Is it my state of mind Or is it just everything else I don't wanna have to be here I don't understand it now Darkpaw shied away from Eclipse's cold tone. Her reply didn't surprise him with its apology-shunning. No, he was merely surprised at the hard-hitting accuracy that spun into his heart. He blinked away childish fears and tilted his head at her, feeling his blood pound in his ears. You couldn't understand, kit. Ahh, StarClan! How many times had Shadow uttered that same phrase to him? Leave it be, Draik. You wouldn't understand. The green-eyed kitten had only coveted one thing -- family... and answers to the questions ABOUT his family. Shadow didn't understand his curiosity and denied him answers about Shroud's parents -- Icespark and Foxfrost -- and his father's parents -- Shallowstorm and Squirrelpelt -- with tenacity that couldn't be broken. Now Darkpaw was staring resentfully into Eclipse's tortured purple-tinted eyes, knowing she was right and hating the fact that she was. How could he ever understand anything as complicated as this twisted loner? Shying away from the black femme temporarily, he fixed his eyes on Shroud's corpse again, feeling his skin crawl beneath a thin black coat.
Cause it's been 18 days Since I first held you But to me it feels just like It feels like a lifetime I'm trying hard to re-arrange Some say its the hardest thing to do But that's another 18 days Without you.. Looking over the falls, seeing their beautiful but ruthless white capped fists pound over the rocks and thin pool below, he wondered how any cat could live here. Reminded everyday of the terrible violence in the world... living with the only voices the echoes of the falls and the wind in the leaves... and, worst of all, the oppressive way night pressed on here. Glancing at Eclipse, he wondered if she lived here because she enjoyed it, or for another reason. From what little he knew of his history, a great-great grandfather of his (paternal, of course) had died here... Thistlestar. His mate, too, had died here, though at another time; and Shadow had often come here, compelled to watch the place where his mysterious MountainClan grandfather had fallen to his depths in the onyx depths. Death was naturally occurring, and around here, it was like breathing, Darkpaw realized. Eclipse, living here, must be reminded of death all the time... how many innocent Clan warriors had died here in the location's history? Two that he knew of, but how many that he didn't?
Time after time I've been through this You show me what it means to live You give me hope when I was hopeless As my days fade to night I remember that state of mind I'm soaring straight into your heart And I'll fly high She spoke again, and he turned sharply towards her, subconciously inching away from his mother's body. Offering to take them home... Darkpaw jerked his head up to look around, eyes settling on Mirrorpaw. Amazing. He'd forgotten she was here completely, with her somber silence and Eclipse's fruitless anger towards him and his orphaned future. Nodding his head once in wry agreement, he mewed softly, Fine. Though, we don't need to be taken home like kits. We're plenty old enough to find our way home. I suspect you really just want to have an excuse to leave the falls. They could drive anyone crazy... Here he twitched his ears to show he was, specifically, "anyone".
And I know what they say About all good things Will they come to an end But I'll fight this time So that we might Have a chance at this Throwing himself to his feet, he realized how long he'd been gone. Plaguestar was probably wondering what the hell was taking him and Mirrorpaw so long, and now to show up at the camp with a strange, quiet black loner in tow? Not good for their appearance... Instead of storming off and leaving her, Darkpaw waited for Eclipse, eyes trained on her curiously. He didn't think he'd ever met such a depressed, twisted she-cat... the only one that came close to comparing was Shadow, and they were still very, very different. He was done with her for now... but he had an odd feeling they'd meet again, and he didn't know when, but he knew when it did happen, it could only mean more questions.
Cause its been too many days Since I first held you But to me it feels just like It feels like a lifetime I'm trying hard to re-arrange Some say it's the hardest thing to do But that's just too many days without you [/

when i crack that whip everybody gonna trip, just like a circus }xx[/color] mirrorpaw silently took in the dialogue between her brother and eclipse. moonlight glittered off of their raven pelts and glowed in their eyes. to a stranger, it could almost be that they were her children. mirrorpaw silently shuddered away the thought. eclipse was not a feline equipped with parenting skills. still, some sort of guilty malice glowed from within her. mirrorpaw eyed her suspiciously and cleared her throat. well, we really must be on our way. farewell, eclipse. she arched her smoke-color back lazily and extended her legs. pointedly looking at darkpaw, she flicked her tail impatiently. xx} dont stand there watching me follow me show me what you can do.

Eclipse blinked, taking in Darkpaw's acceptance of her offer, then feeling a great deal of frustration as Mirrorpaw seemingly refused it. "I, I..." The black cat paused and twitched her tail. "Very well, then," she said coolly. "But be careful; there're plenty of...predators who'll kill you as soon as look at you." With those words, she began stepping carefully down the stone slope that led down to her 'den'. [/blockquote]
