Winnie shied into the bushes when she saw her brother take on a full grown cat that was much bigger than him. She did not like this situation.

Sasha stood watching, watching her best friend die. Then she resorted to something that she hoped would revive him enough to survive the night. "thorns." she said as she crouched lower at his face. "think of our future kittens. think of our future family" She said as she laid at his head. she could do no more than this. she hoped that he would respond to these happy thoughts.

[P r o m i s e r]

Nico heard her words. He smiled. "I wish you the best with your future kits, Sasha." Nico whispered. He glanced over at Chris. Nico knew that he'd grow up to be a fierce Fighter some day.

[Blackberry]

Thorns forced his eyes open again, making out the blurry shape of a cat. "Huh?" he asked. "Who are you?" He lifted his head, blinking a few times.

[horsegodess]

"its me, Sasha" She said trying to hold back tear that was fighting against her resistance. She tried to sound strong. But she felt so helpless. She only could hope that her presence would revive him. She walked over to his stomach and started kneading it like when they were kittens. She always did it to comfort him and he to her when they were house cats. She hoped that this would not only calm him, but maybe even help him to recover. Maybe a massage would relax him out of shock so his body could focus on healing.

[P r o m i s e r]

Nico was getting a bit worried. "Thorns. Do you remember anything?" He asked. If Thorns had lost his memory, then Sasha would be heart broken.

[Blackberry]

Thorns pushed the she-cat away as she kneaded his belly. "Stop that," he said. "I don't know you. Why did you do that?" He then looked at the green-eyed tom. "Remember what?" he asked.

[P r o m i s e r]

(Nico has green eyes.)

"Us. We're your friends, Thorns." Nico replied, his emerald green eyes clouded with worry. "Its me. Nico. And Sasha." He meowed. Nico had to think this through. "Uh, Hailey you try." Nico called the blue eyed white she-cat. She padded over. "Thorns? Do you remember the Clan cats?"

[Blackberry]

(whoops)

"Who?" Thorns asked. He flicked his tail. He then stood, but instantly buckled with pain. He noticed there was blood and wounds on his body. "What did you cats do to me?" he demanded. Thorns watched a white she-cat named 'Hailey' walk up. He blinked at her, then said. "What Clan cats?"

[P r o m i s e r]

"We didn't do anything, Thorns. You fell in the water so hard, it put wounds in your body." Hailey replied softly. "Nico is the Leader of the Clan cats. I'm his Healer/Medicine Cat." Hailey told him. Bluejay's eyes were wide with shock. Thorns didn't remember anything of his friends! "Thorns." Bluejay mewed.

[horsegodess]

(wow. good plot twist. it allows everyone to have a fresh start)
Sasha wilted back as she was pushed away from thorns. "Thorns its me!" she wailed at the top of her lungs. Maybe if she said it louder, he would remember. She fell on the ground meowing in agony. This was almost, if not worse than if thorns had died. She shriveled up, wanting for this all to be a dream. Then she would wake up curled on the warm rug in the sun in her house. Sasha blamed herself for this. This was all her fault. For dragging Thorns out of the house to be feral. For not being there for him when he fell. She died from what she had done to have this happened.

[P r o m i s e r]

(Uh the last line. Did Sasha die? O.o)

Nico curled next to her and tried to calm her. Nico felt terrible. It was his fault. "Its my fault Sasha. If I had never gotten Thorns so angry, then this wouldn't have happened."

[horsegodess]

(haha i thought someone may get confused about that. no she did not die.)
Sasha did not respond. she was too in shock to respond to the situation. she was overwhelmed and adrenaline running on high. She accepted Nico's attempts to comfort her, but it did nothing. Nothing could comfort her at the moment. Anyways, she didn't want to feel better. She wanted to lay here grieving. Her best friend was basically gone. She wanted to feel pain and sorrow.

[P r o m i s e r]

Tears seeped in his eyes, soon leaking out. Thorns was always a best friend to him. Bluejay joined them, and let the sorrow overtake him.

[Blackberry]

Thorns watched the cats, a confused look in his eyes. "Um... can someone please tell me what's going on?"

[P r o m i s e r]

Bluejay looked up at Thorns with his dark blue eyes. "We're your friends Thorns. You must have lost your memory when you fell in the water. But believe me, we are all your friends." Bluejay told the bigger cat.

[horsegodess]

Winnie couldn't believe what was happening. She watched from the bushes. She hated to see her mother cry. She hated it.

Sasha did not say a word. she layed curled up in nico's embrace the entire night, her meows of despair echoing in the night. She eventually fell asleep. She couldnt stand to talk to Thorns the next morning. It would be like talking to a mannequin. It would cause her even more pain to try and persuade him that she was his friend.

(later she'll help him gain new memories but now she just wants to be miserable. also i want him to keep his memory lost if possible. so we just put new ones into his head.)

[P r o m i s e r]

(Yeah and Thorns' hatred towards Nico was starting to get boring as well. *_*)

Nico huddled with her, his light green eyes showing affection and comfort. 'There goes Sasha's chance to have more kits with Thorns. This is all my fault!' Nico cursed to himself.

[horsegodess]

"oh be quiet nico! you dont have half of the bond with thorns than i do with him!" Sasha screamed at him through her sobs. She didnt mean to be so mean, but her sadness had turned to rage. she jumped up and ran off into the bushes, abandoning her friends. "lets go winny. Come one siren, Chris! were leaving!" She called back, choking on her sobs. She ran into the bushes, Whinny following close behind her, looking back to see her brother and sister following. Sasha was being very selfish dwelling in her own agony and abandoning her friends, but the pain overtook her. She ran, trying to outrun her problems.

[P r o m i s e r]

(Nico thought that. O_O)

Nico was shocked. "Fine. Don't accept my comfort or presence. Treat me like crap, just like Thorns always did for months!" Nico hissed, padding away. Chris refused to go with Sasha. "No! I am old enough to decide on what I want to do in life. And I am deciding to go with Dad. Go with him to the Clan." Chris meowed, lashing his tail and following his father. Nico was shocked. Sasha had just screamed at him for taking the blame, like he ALWAYS did! Nico took the blame for everything. He was only trying to be a good friend. But just like Thorns, Sasha turned on him.

Bluejay followed Sasha and meowed. "Sasha. Your not really mad at Nico. Right?"

[Blackberry]

(whatever)

Thorns had fallen asleep. He woke up to an empty den. He yawned and blinked, tail flicking. He got up and stretched, back arching. The tom left the den. The clearing was empty, besides the tom named Nico and some cat who looked like him. Thorns blinked a few times. Where was he? And why were these cats all acting so dramatic? "Whatever," he muttered to himself. "It doesn't matter to me." His wounds were starting to heal, but he still limped while he walked. He still suspected that these cats had injured him, but he had to pretend that he trusted them so they wouldn't hurt him more. Rasping his tongue over his lips he half walked half waddled towards a hole in the clearing. Tufts of fur clung to it, and he guessed it was the entrance. He began to brush inside of it.

[P r o m i s e r]

Hailey awoke to sounds and glanced over at Thorns. "Good morning Thorns. How are your wounds feeling?" Hailey asked, her beautiful blue eyes still a bit droopy. Nico didn't leave camp. But he left the den to get some food. Nico noticed Thorns was awake and brought a mouse for Thorns to eat. As much as Nico wanted to follow Sasha, he stayed put. Besides, he still had to pick a new Deputy for the Clan.

[Blackberry]

Thorns blinked at the white cat. "Um... who is Thorns?" he asked, head tilted.

[P r o m i s e r]

"That's you silly. Oh wait. You don't have any memory of who you are. I forgot." Hailey meowed, walking over to him to inspect his wounds. "They are healing perfectly." She said happily. Nico dropped the mouse at Thorns' paws. "I thought you might be hungry."

[Blackberry]

Thorns looked at the white she-cat, and then at the tom who was giving him a mouse. His stomach ached. "Um, thanks." He gobbled up the mouse in two bites and licked his lips. "I really should get going," he said.

[horsegodess]

(time skip)

A week had passed and Sasha sank into somewhat of a depression, but was slowly coming out of it. She took care of her now full grown kittens. She mothered themas she always has. "im sorry that i have to leave you two like this." She said as she cast away her kittens. "start a family of your own. i will see you again someday." she said. Her heart did not need anymore sorrow, but this is what nature's path told her to do. She licked winny's and sassy's heads and they wondered off out of sight. She gave a little wimper but was determined to be strong.

Now sasha was ready for a new litter. Her next heat, she planned on mating with thorns. But how could she? Suddently Sasha she became extremely determined to help thorns creat knew memories with her, so them mating would mean something. not just a blank act of lust. She bounded throught the brush, hopping over fallen twigs and branches, till she came to the location she left thorns in. She looked around and saw him. Her heart skipped a beat and she ran up to him. "thorns!" she called. She slid to a stop and said excitedly, "thorns i know you dont remember anything, but i want you to re-live your life. i want to make memories with you. please do this for me?"
