Featherrain padded toward the Gorge which took Crookfaith life. She sat down on the highest point away from the edge. She let out a deep sigh. She was beginning to doubt being Medicine Cat all its done is make things worse for her. "Crookfaith, I wish you have left me at the time I need you most...I'm nothing but a big joke to them. No one takes me seriously." Featherain glanced down over the gorge, she could jump and end it all. Taintedpaw would get a kick out of that but should she was the question.

Badgerstripe watched form the bushes. He spied Featherrain looking over the gorge, and stepped out suddenly. "don't do it. Too many cats have done that lately..." He sighed and he looked down the gorge, his fear growing. It was such a dangerous place..not a place for Featherrain to be hanging around. "Featherrain, I know it's been hard for you as being a very young medicine cat. But you are very talented, and smart. This is your calling. don't give up now!"

Featherrain glanced back at Badgerstripe, she blinked. "I..I wasn't going to jump, but I could have..." She looked down at her paws, she snickered softly. "You guys have no Idea what I've seen or were I've been...That's the thing that kills me the most. I'm giving my life up to a bunch of cats who have no care in the world then besides themselves and their families." She glanced back at Badgerstripe. "Your no different then the rest of them... Before you think you can try to save me, save your kits first. They have no one...They need your love."

Streakwater sat alone at the Gorge, thinking. She had been alone during the Gathering, and had no idea what had gone on at camp. All she knew was two curious artifacts and a sea of thoughts. One was the claw marks in the earth, the other was the tufts of dark grey fur as well as some signs of blood. But only a bit. Probably a mouse or a rabbit or something. But the loss of Badgerstripe was a card playing hard at her. She may not have loved him, but what was still her old self was missing him. She could hardly bear it. But he had left her. What could she do? She glanced down the Gorge to see Featherpaw and Badgerstripe a ways down. They hadn't seen her. She looked back out at the waters of the Gorge. That tom had ruined and made her life, and now he was gone. She hadn't loved him, and still didn't. But she felt so empty without him. Was it the last part of the old Streakwater? Would she lose it if she lost him? Streakwater sighed, shaking her head. If she did, all would be gone...

Featherrain could feel they weren't alone. "Please think about what I said.."She meowed walking up the gorge, she could smell Streakwater. They needed to talk. "Hey Streakwater." Featherrain meowed quietly.

"Hey." Streakwater said absently, sighing softly. She didn't even bother to look up from the waters of the Gorge to see Featherrain, or as she still knew her Featherpaw. She felt horribly depressed, and did not seem to mind a chat.

"My life." Streakwater replied simply. Her life did n fact seem to be very wrong now.

"You sound like me, nothing ever goes the way you plan..." Featherrain meowed softly looking down at the water down below. "You know...um Your kits are going to be apprenticed soon. I think You need to spend time with them. They need you and Badgerstripe to be strong for them. My parents can't take all the responsibility for them. Look at me, for instance, Taintedpaw and Boulderpaw hate me to the death and don't know yet I got my Medicine Cat name. I'm nothing but a big joke to everyone. No one takes me seriously...I'm living a life that rejects my personal life. You have had a much better life then I. You may abject all you want, but deep down you know its true. I could have jumped and end it all, but what good would that do?"

Streakwater nodded sadly.
"I don't want the kits or anything to do with them. I'll only ruin their life with the tale of our breaking up. They are better off with your parents." she sighed. It was easy not to care, and at the moment Streakwater needed easy and simple.

"They know about you and Badgerstripe not being together anymore. I kinda told them a few days ago. They love you, Streakwater. They all will make you proud one day, I want you to know that." Featherrain gently brushed her tail over Streakwater's back. "Be strong for them, if not yourself..."

"I... can't..." She said with a sigh, looking away at her paws sadly. "He doesn't love me anymore, and they forget about me. And now I constantly want to just throw myself off again. Taintedpaw isn't grateful I tried to save him and risked my life for him, is he? What good am I then?" She hissed darkly, shaking her head. Useless. Her entire life had never been a perfect picture. With Mountainfur and Badgerstripe, and then the fact that now she had been abandoned in her greatest time of need. Without someone to cling to. Why?

"Taintedpaw!...Taintedpaw, doesn't care about anyone but himself!" Featherrain hissed, her eyes flamed. "I could have told you that, because he hates me more then life itself..." She stopped briefly then continued. "If your going to keep coming back here and bury yourself in regret, then I can't stop you, but your kits love you. No matter what you keep telling yourself. They need you and you need them! If Badgerstripe doesn't see that he needs those kits too, well then he's pretty stupid. You both need to grew up, stop acting like kits and take responsibility for your family. I'm tried and look where I am right now...I'm a Medicine Cat." She meowed then looked at her paws. "Streakwater, no good deed goes unpunished. No matter how hard someone may try. We must hang on for those in need it most."

"Badgerstripe and I broke things up." She said sadly, not wanting to look any longer at Featherrain.

"That still doesn't mean your guys kits sould go without parents. Your breaking their hearts by not seeeing them..." Featherrain meowed in a low growl.

"Really? Isn't Hollyleaf their mother now?" She said darkly, sighing and shaking her head sadly. "I remember... A tom. He loved me. But I don't remember who..." She said with a sigh.

"I'm glad you don't remember the tom's name, Streakwater. It will do you no good because he has a mate and kits of his own." Featherrain meowed with a dry voice. She stood up. "Hollyleaf can't be your kits mother..." She stopped herself. She almost said she like Badgerkit to his mother. Her eyes went wide. "I have to go, I'll see you back at camp. Don't be long."

Streakwater nodded but stared blankly out at the Gorge. Inviting. Calling. Taunting with thoughts of a better place beyond. She tried her hardest to remember anything at all. She remembered the black and white of the tom's fur. Her only memory was of Badgerstripe. But why did she feel so... Dry?
