Vesper watched Blight go, then turned to Wildpaw. He got to his paws and shook the dust from his fur, blinking a few more times to clear up his sight before answering with a simple "Yes." he looked down at the cats and his ears drooped "I really am sorry. I- I didn't mean for this to happen." just as he said that a warrior padded from the crowd and hissed at Vesper "You're the one who brought those rogues. How else could they have found our camp?" she was one of the cats who never trusted Vesper.

Wildpaw turned his hair raised as he stared down the other warrior. "He is under the protection of our clan. Therefore we are to help him. He didn't bring them." He snapped. "They were trying to kill him."

"Why should we care about his problems. He dragged us into this. Some of us got hurt, Swanfeather might die." a pretty white she-cat was laying in a pool of blood, Sparrowflight working on her "He should leave before he causes us more trouble." another cat called out.
Vesper almost thought these cats were silly, getting angry at apprentice age cat, though to them he probably looked like a warrior. Clearing his throat he said "Can't hold your own in a fight then?" he smirked and flicked his tail, giving an illusion of confidence and cool "I was planning on leaving anyways. Your clan life simply isn't for me. Makes a cat too, soft." With that he turned and padded away, only stopping beside Wildpaw to utter a quiet "I'm sorry." then jumped off the hill and into the grass.
It hurt to insult these cats, but to make less trouble for Wildpaw and Earthstar, cats who had accepted him, he felt like he should leave before things got too heated. He was planning on leaving anyways... just not like this.

Sparrowflight worked tirelessly on the she cat before her. She was packing the wound with as much cobweb as possible. "You aren't dying on me." She hissed with the effort. She wished she could help Vesper but Swanfeather was taking up all her attention.
Wildpaw watched Vesper insult his clan mates and winced. He knew what the tom was doing but couldn't he see it wasn't helping? "We should care because its what we do! How would you feel if it was you. I can't believe you all." He hissed. Wildpaw ran to Vesper. "Wait... at least for a moment." He then ran to Earthstar. "I- I can't let him go not by himself." Wildpaw braced himself. He knew what he was about to ask and what it would mean but he had to do it anyway. "I will go with him."

"No!" Vesper shook his head "You belong here Wildpaw. You have lived her all your life, this is all you know."
"Are you sure you want to do this Wildpaw? If you leave now neither of you will be able to come back. Wait. Wait until things cool down. Once the clan recovers, perhaps you will meet Vesper again. Maybe then you can say all you want." he knew both the cats tension was high. They had to cool down. Not only them, the whole clan was shaken. In a quieter voice he added "Will you really give up a clan, a family for a cat you just met? Vesper can come back, I will not banish him. It was not his fault after all. But the rest of the clan needs time to recover and accept this fact as well."

Wildpaw looked unsure. He wanted to stay but he wanted to be with Vesper as well. The stress was going to split him into. He looked at Vesper. "I- I.." but before he could answer Sparrowflight stepped up.
"I have finished work on Swanfeather she will live or se won't but I have done all that I can. All we can do now is wait." She turned to look at Wildpaw and Vesper. "Before anyone goes anywhere I need to check you all for wounds." She looked at the leader. "That means you too."
((should I have Wildpaw leave you think or should he stay? Not sure where we are going now lol.))

Hmm idk?? Kinda rped myself into a corner there XD We could have Vesper come back later. Or have them run into each other again, but this time older? It might be interesting to have Wildpaw be a warrior and have him run into Vesper again, there could also be more with the rogues? There are so many options lol What would you like to do next?)

((I think letting them go and run into each other older could work but Vesper would have to leave without Wild seeing him go I think or he would try and go after him. Once he left and Wild couldn't find him again we could do a time skip. The rogues could be biding their time till they get enough to come after Windclan and Vesper and Wild again.))

Ok ^^ Sounds good to me.)
Vesper agreed only to staying as long as Wildpaw got his injuries treated. As he was distracted with Sparrowflight Vesper slipped away to talk to Earthstar. Bowing his head he said "Thank you for everything. I won't forget the kindness you have given me. I think it best for me to leave. Eventually they'll forget about me, or remember me as the one who brought destruction." he chuckled lightly "But I guess I wish you guys well."
"Are you sure you don't want to get your injuries treated first?" Earthstar looked at the cuts on his cheek and leg. He wouldn't force the cat to change his mind, but he wanted to make it easier on him.
"I'll be alright. Tell Wildpaw is said sorry." with that he bowed his head slightly again before turning and disappearing into the tall grass, the shadows and thick grass covering his fur.
Blackfern was nearby and heard the discussion. He nodded to himself and walked over to where Wildpaw was being treated, it was best for Vesper to leave while Wildpaw was not paying attention. But that didn't mean it wouldn't hurt the apprentice. Wildpaw was strong though, he would make it. He would get over Vesper. He had to.

Wildpaw was impatient while Sparrowflight worked on his wounds. He had watched Vesper pad off somewhere but he didn't know where. "Hey Sparrowflight are you almost done?" He asked.
"Almost." The medicine cat answered with a grim smile. She had guessed what Vesper was doing but she kept quiet. Wildpaw needed to be here with the clan and he would freak out if he knew Vesper was leaving. She wished the other tom would stay as well but she knew better.
Wildpaw burst from the den as soon as his treatment was over looking for Vesper. He looked confused not to find him there. "Blackfern? Where is he?" He looked to his mentor.
((All the feels right now.... When did I get so invested in this?))

Blackfern glanced at him "He's gone." he said simply, knowing that logic would be no use against the apprentice.

Wildpaw's face fell. "Gone?" He asked looking paniced. He ran through the camp but couldn't find him. A moment later he took off into the moor calling his name.
((Time skip? I have to go for today though.))

Sure)
It had been a couple moons since the fight with the rogues. Things seemed to have settled down for both the clan and the surrounding area. There hadn't been any sight of the large group and most in the clan seemed to have forgotten mostly about the small battle. No cats had died then either, and Vesper had left. There was nothing left to remind them of the incident. And something like that was better left forgotten.
Vesper had not forgotten it though. Ever since returning to the alleys he had a constant reminder of the time in his clan. He, for some reason, could not forget the clan cat that he had grown close to. But a more physical reminder was three scars across his cheek, a small souvenier that Blight had left with him.
On that thought, Blight had yet to surface. Losing that fight must have hurt his pride.
Walking out of the abandoned building Vesper had taken as his temporary shelter from a rainstorm that had passed through earlier that day the golden furred tom stretched. It felt great to be out in the air after being stuck in there all morning. Just as he stepped out there was a sudden barking. Glancing over he sighed in defeat. A twoleg dressed in blue and had a flashlight walked around the corner with a dog in their wake. The mangy mutt snarled at him and suddenly tore it's collar out of the two legs hand.
Turning, Vesper broke into a run. The animal chased him until he had broken the line of houses and was in the moors. He didn't even realize it, his mind only focusing on losing the dog.

((I am on but not for long today. Until I can get my eyes back ok again my computer time will be very limited.))
Life in the clans had returned to normal for most of the clan cats. Most of them except Wildpaw. After Vesper had vanished Wildpaw had searched all night for the tom but he hadn't found him. It had taken days before he would stop searching but finally he had accepted that Vesper had gone.
True to his mentor and leader's word Wildpaw had been made a warrior soon after the rouge battle. He had smiled as the cats called his new name. "Wildheart! Wildheart!" But it had felt bittersweet.
Wildheart was out with Sparrowflight helping her gather herbs. "I wish these things tasted better." He mumbled around a mouth full of herbs.
She laughed. "If they tasted good unsupecting cats might eat them and that could be a very bad thing." She was about to tell Wildheart that some don't taste that bad when she heard something. "Wildheart I think someone is coming fast."

Sorry for my inactivity! I've found it hard to find the motivation to do much of anything and it's making school incredibly hard. Though I am determined to get some sort of a schedule set back on my life XD I certainly hope you will consider continuing to rp with me despite how inactive I have been.)
The dog snapped at his heels and Vesper laughed as it nearly ate dirt. The dog lost some speed and Vesper pulled ahead. HE burst into a clearing and spun to face the dog. He did not notice the clan cats in the area, not even realizing he was in their territory. Crouching down he jumped up and kicked off the dogs muzzle and soaring over it. The dog veered into the side of a hill and yelping surprise.
Vesper cackled and flicked his tail in excitement. The chase and the fight made his blood pound, he always enjoyed the thrill of a battle.

Wildheart turned and watched in stunned awe as Vesper rocketed into the area in front of the two cat with a dog following close behind. As Vesper pulled some smooth moves against the dog, Wildheart shook himself finally realizing that not only was the cat he had searched for in front of him but an enemy that needed facing. Before the dog could recover he darted in swiping at its sensitive nose.
Sparrowflight was also stunned but only for a moment. She moved quickly to the side and crouched down ready to attack the dog next if it looked ready for more. Her medcat training was mostly about herbs and healing but that didn't stop her from learning to fight when needed.

Vesper landed safely on the top of a small hill by the clearing. He turned to face the dog and froze in surprise when he saw Wildheart. His smiled dropped and his eyes widened. So many thoughts ran through his mind at once that when the dog got up to snap at him he had only a second to move to the side. Shaking his head he knew he needed to stay focused. He hit the dog with his back paws and the dog, knowing it was out numbered, whimpered and fled the clearing.

Wildheart watched the dog only for a moment to make sure it was gone before running toward Vesper. "Its you! Its really you! I can't believe it!" He purred as he stopped to stand in front of the other cat. "I looked for you for so long. Are you ok? How have you been?" He asked without pause.
Sparrowflight padded up more slowly. She was happy to see the other tom but wasn't sure if this was good or bad for Wildheart. "Its good to see you again Vesper. You certainly made quick work of the dog... With a little help."

Vesper blinked a couple of times, stunned. Finally he found his voice and said "Wildpaw, Sparrowflight. Fancy meeting you here. I didn't realize I had wandered into your territory, sorry about that." his voice and stance were stiff and formal. Normally he was much calmer and smooth talking to others but the sudden closeness of long time crush(probably, he still wasn't sure how to name that feeling quite yet) threw him for a loop.

Wildheart shook his head, far to excited to even notice the stiffness of his crush. "No no don't be sorry! I am so glade to see you. The dog didn't hurt you did it?" He asked turning back to look at the med cat for help before turning back to look closely at his friend.
Sparrowflight laughed. "I think he is fine Wildheart. I believe Vesper did more to the dog then the other way around." She purred before pawing at her herbs she had been collecting. "Looks like these are still ok." She mumbled quietly about the herbs while she watched the toms closely curious to see how this would turn out.

"'Wildheart.'" Vesper repeated "You were given your warrior name." it seemed like a dumb comment, of course he had been given his warrior name. Vesper had been gone for a while, it only made sense things would change. Speaking of that, "While I am thrilled to see you. I think it would be best for me to leave before your clanmates find a strange cat on their territory." his words were mostly directed to Sparrowflight, seeing that he couldn't look Wildheart in the eye.

Wildheart smiled proudly. "I was given my name! Earthstar said he thought hard about what it should be but Heart seemed the best choice." Wildheart's smile faded as he listened to the other tom talk. "But your not a strange cat. Please don't go."
Sparrowflight looked up from her herbs. "I believe Earthstar would understand you being here knowing the circumstances and taking into account who you are. However, I understand that some of our clan mates might not feel the same." She answered calmly. "Although I don't worry about their opinions much." She added with a small smile. She understood Vesper might want to leave she just hoped Wildheart wouldn't freak out.

Finally meeting Wildhearts gaze he offered the other cat a soft smile. There was an incredibly fond look in his eyes, but there was also a flicker of worry and guilt "I wouldn't want to cause trouble in your clan again. Last time I was here your clan was injured and many of your clanmates blame me for it. I couldn't come back and cause more trouble."
