SpiritWind turned, abandoning the branches. " No. I'm telling YOU Star. Go, leave, you've done it once you can do it again. You've made a choice, and that was to leave the pack. Now you have to learn to live with it!" She snapped. - Even if you did come back, Mother was the one who told her to go. And Star was thinking along the same lines. The pack doesn't trust those who leave.- " I swear to the wolves above. I don't want to hurt you, but I am a Warrior. And keeping trespassing wolves out is what I do."

*she was firm as she slamed her paw down* i'm not leaving you again! i left to honor you mother's wishes, but she didn't say how long, i am coming back to camp, but i don't want to hurt you, not again *her stubbron side kicked in, like when she was being protective, and her tail lashed*

SpiritWind flattened her ears. " Your acting like I can't live without you! That I need you to protect me! Well guess what, I've done fine before and after you came!" She snarled, taking a step towards Star. " My Mother told you to go for the sake of the pack. Which basically means don't return. If your returning, then that just proves you don't care for our safety. " She growled, and took another step forward. " This is your last warning. LEAVE." She said.

(kinda want them to be friends when they were pup's and they got seperated but Spirit didn't know till now) *her ears flattened against her head, but she was sad and upset as she said* i understand you hate me, i don't blame you, but it's me who can't live without you, if you must, then go ahead and take the shot *she laid down on her back, leaving herself open for attack, showing just how much she trusted Spirit* it would releave me of the pain *a tear streaked down her face*

( Sure.)

SpiritWind narrowed her eyes at Star. " No. A Warrior doesn't hurt someone who won't defend themselves. Please... Just get out of here. The only way you can learn to live without me, is to start living without me. You've dug yourself a deep hole because of it." She grabbed her branches, and headed back to camp.

(yay!) *she stood and relized Spirit didn't remember their playdates as pups and sighed then gathered the branches and went to the Lake, where she had already set up home and went to work reinforcing it against the weather*

" Alright there, SpiritWind?" SilverSpot asked, as she sat the branches down. " Ya... Just dealt with a Loner that's all." She replied, shrugging. SilverSpot added the branches to the Hunter's den. " Haven't gotten many of those during the warmer moons, do we? But more show when its colder, for our prey." She said through a mouthful of wood. SpiritWind nodded, and headed to a sheltered bit of camp at sat, sighing. Then Chocolate Mocha called. " Demon's Servant has fallen ill, so I'm incharge of both groups. Hunters and Warriors, today you will work together to take down a Elk herd. But remember, don't take this hunt lightly. This is to feed us for the coming cold, and wolves have died in these hunts."

*she sighed and finished then went down to the bottom of the Lake, wishing as she did sometimes, that she could drown herself*

SpiritWind heard tiny barks from the nursery, BloodPup and RedWoodPup were in a fight again. And by the sound of it, none of the Mother wolves were currently there. SpiritWind entered the den, and spread the two apart. " Enough! Come on guys, this isn't how friends treat eachother!" She growled. Both dipped their heads, and went to their nests. Something pulled deep down inside her. - I know, I heard myself.- She let out another sigh.

*she heard her and chuckled then dug in the floor of the lake, making a tunnel to a spot near camp, making a good spot for drinking and also a stream*
