"She was like a drowning person, flailing, reaching for anything that might save her. Her life was an urgent, desperate struggle to justify her life."

-Jonathan Safran Foer

"No I'm not?" Redblossom looked at me with a confused expression. "Blaze, I promise you that you'll be so much happier being in full control of your own body instead of having to share it with me. I still don't understand why you don't want that."

"Because...no, just trust me please! I don't want to tell you why!" I begged. Redblossom shook her head.

"Well it's not going to matter because Blazeflower can't wake up unless we both agree on it!" I growled. "So we can stay here till we die!"

"Why are you doing this?!" My heart ached as I saw Redblossom unsheathe her claws.

"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!" I sobbed.

Oakbranch's POV

Me and Owlmask were curled up together when I lazily opened my eyes and noticed two things: Blazeflower was stirring and swiping at the air in her sleep...

And Blossomheart was gone.

"Owlmask!" I gasped, my mate woke up and looked at me. "Blossomheart's gone!"

"Thank StarClan!" I heard Brambleblaze mutter. "I thought that fox-heart would never leave!"

I ran out of the warrior's den with Owlmask by my side and ran to Stonestar's den. Stonestar got up right away.

"It's the middle of the night...what did you two need?" Stonestar yawned.

"Blossomheart left!" I told him. "We have to go find her!"

"Oakbranch, she was never a loyal warrior of RiverClan. Her heart was with Sagefur right away." Stonestar explained. "Chances are that she's in WindClan and there's no changing her mind there. Go back to sleep please."

"I'm going then! I need to make sure that's she safe!" I decided.

"Sure, go nuts." Stonestar whispered as he curled up and closed his eyes. "Just don't cause too much...*snore*"

"Can you go with me?" I asked Owlmask. "I don't want to go alone, having only one eye to see in the darkness isn't exactly ideal for me."

"Of course." Owlmask replied. We ran out of camp and headed for the moor which indeed had Blossomheart's scent all over it. I felt pain wondering...did she hate me that much? That she left and wouldn't even tell me? Knowing that she was there wasn't enough for me. I wanted to confront her.

I walked even faster towards the moor and Owlmask followed till we reached the WindClan camp where everyone was awake and surrounding Blossomheart and Sagefur.

"Hello Oakbranch, Owlmask. Good to see you two." Icestar meowed curtly. "Blossomheart is joining WindClan. Sure I don't like her, but she's bringing more warriors in this Clan besides herself so who am I to say no?"

"Blossomheart, what is she talking about?" I asked my sister. She looked at me like I was a stranger and I realized her family didn't matter to her, not even me.

"I'm expecting Sagefur's kits and I have been for a moon." Blossomheart answered. "I would've loved to have brought Sagefur to RiverClan but you fish-brains are even more heartless than ShadowClan. You couldn't let me be happy could you? Not even your tattle-tale mate would let me be happy."

"You think any of this is our fault?" Owlmask snarled. "You're the one that broke the warrior code and you expect your Clan to be OK with it? You've got bees in your brain. C'mon Oakbranch, this is ridiculous."

"Well, what're you waiting for? Leave." Blossomheart growled at me after I stood there for a few moments. Where was my sister in her eyes?

"I don't know you anymore." I whispered as tears fell down my eye. I refused to let the other WindClan warriors see as I ran back to camp. I was too struck with grief to even check if Owlmask was following me. I just wanted to get away.

Blaze's POV

"You...you what?" Redblossom looked at me with surprise.

"Because we've been fused for so long...since birth...I've seen so many of your memories." I explained. "I watched you stand your ground countless times, I watched you take your sister's place and died for all the Clans. I've seen the way cats looked at us because of you. I love you for what you've done and for who you are. I've been so happy for these past moons because you being half of me has made me a better cat. Redblossom, let's stay as Blazeflower."

"Blaze...you know I love Flyfur." Redblossom told me. "I believe you'll make some she-cat really happy. But it's not me."

I stood there silent refusing to let her leave till we both woke up involuntary.

Narrator's POV

"Blazeflower! We need to get you to the Moonpool!" Rowanpelt nudged the she-cat. She woke up and immediately felt a vicious wave of pain as Redblossom and Blaze were fighting for control in her mind.

"Amberfern told me this would happen..." Rowanpelt sighed. "Mothleap! Get me some warriors to help lift Blazeflower!"

"We'll help." Oakbranch ran into camp with Owlmask by his side much to Rowanpelt's surprise. Were they mating or something? Why else would they be out of camp?

Oakbranch's POV

Rowanpelt gave me a perplexed look but I hardly cared. I wasn't going to be able to sleep so why not carry Blazeflower to the Moonpool? Then I realized...

"Wait, today's the day?!" I gasped. "W-we gotta get Flyfur and Brownpelt and-"

"Mothleap will gather them but right now we got to get Blazeflower to the Moonpool and then I'll tell you two what to do next." Rowanpelt explained.

"Get away from me!" Blazeflower aimed a claw at Rowanpelt but he leaped out of the way. I held onto her scruff and Owlmask sunk her teeth into the fur above the bottom of her spine and we began dragging her as quickly as we could with Rowanpelt leading the way.

We finally got there and we still held onto to Blazeflower knowing that Blaze could take control at any moment and attack.

"What do we do now Rowanpelt?" Owlmask asked.

"Push her into the Moonpool!" Rowanpelt shouted.

It surprised both me and Owlmask but we didn't question it any further as we pushed Blazeflower into the water.
