The sunlight was bearly reaching over the sleeping hills as it sank deeper and deeper into the scarlet sky. The clouds were a fate purple color on their bottoms, their tops were almost an ash black color. The birds were not singing anymore and the prey were curled tightly in their dens sleeping away. Any wise clan cat would have curled up in their nice soft bedding, but one she-cat chose not to. This she-cat was always a bit strange compare to the rest of the clan. Then again, she shared the same blood as the siblings who had the appearance of animals that were harmful to the clan. But this never bothered anyone for no one would dare cross her path nor speaking rude things of her out loud, maybe within thoughts if their expressions did not give them away. She was one of the best warriors BloodClan had seen, but did not tro around in pride She thought of it as a waste.
Sighing heavily, CrossMark started to pad towards the cliff that had maybe leadges sticking out from it's rocky sides. It was a perfect place to sun bath during GreenLeaf and New-Leaf, but since it was between Bare-Leaf and New-Leaf, it was cold and often forsty. A horrible place to even rest at for one would slip off, but CrossMark figured she could take her chance. Pressing her weight to her hide legs, she sprang upwards landing softly on a leadge almost four feet in the air. Content with her action, she circled twice before laying herself down on the smooth cool rock. Oh how good it felt on her aching body.

IceBite found himself rummaging through his stock of herbs. Mentally naming them, counting how many he still had and also giving himself a mental note to re-stock on yarrow. Despite the fact it was dusk he did not mind hunting for herbs in the night. No one would no notice he was gone and he could be alone for once. Making up his mind he slowly eased himself out of his den and walked away from camp.
IceBite began to talk to himself out loud. He hadn't had a conversation to himself for awhile.
"After this I need to find nightshade and perhaps try to figure away to use the poison to kill others. Maybe splash some of the juices on claws and strike? Perhaps or perhaps not."
As he made his way towards the cliff he wasn't aware someone could see him talking to himself. Being completely oblivious he went on with his solo conversation.
"Instead of nightshade I can use stinging nettle."

CrossMark was just starring off into the distance as her mind began to wonder off, until a voice that was hers echoed within her skull breaking but her trance of thought. Shaking her head, she leant over the edge of the leadge as both ears flickered forward towards the voice. Both golden brown eyes noticed IceBite at once. Blinking wildly, she started to listen to him though only getting a few words here and there. 'Curse this wind.' she thought darkly as she slowly moved against the rock to listen to him more without draw attein to herself. 'Why on earth does he want to kill cats and is them?' Twitching her nose ever so slightly, she slowly slid off the leadge before pressing herself against the cliff almost blending in perfectly with her dull gray tones. 'Maybe it is a dream from Deathclan...maybe a plot from Wolfstar...' Once more the young warrior's mind started to drift off into strange and left feild thoughts as she tried to listen and follow without making Icebite look over at her.

IceBite came to the first Yarrow he saw. He placed his black nose to the herb, inhaled and smiled mischievously to himself. He laid on his belly and began to pat the herb, to watch it sway from the impact. A few chuckles escaped his vocals before he open his jaws, bit the herb off and held it in between his teeth. IceBite turned around and began to walk away but he stopped a dropped the herb and began to spit the juices out. For a second he forgot what the herb could do. Shaking his head side to side once he spit all the nasty tasting juice from his mouth he picked it up once more and walked away from the cliffs. Not noticing that someone was watching him the whole time.

CrossMark lifted a brow as both ears pressed against her skull as she watched her clan's own medicine cat acting out a very dense action. Rolling both eyes, she muttered under her breath creating a small white cloud from her warm breath. Both eyes widen as she saw this knewing it would just shine through the already dark air and cursed loudly within her skull before backing away from the small breath cloud for lack of better term trying to make it seem like it was completely random. 'Maybe he won't notice it...he almost just poisoned himself after all' she thought lightly as the tip of her tail twitched about. Then she sneezed loudly making it echoed through the camp and the cliffs made the sound almost ten times worst. "Oh Hiddenstar!" she cursed loudly.

White ears quickly shifted to hear the noise from behind. Noting that someone indeed was hidden in the cliffs. IceBite turned around slowly, dropped his yarrow on the ground. Laying his ears flat on his skull before he drew back his teeth. Claws unsheathed as they dug shallowly into the ground below. His blue eyes narrowed as they quickly scanned each nook and cranny to find the cat that made that sound.

CrossMark still did not believe IceBite did not hear her voice nor the sneeze she had made just a moment ago. Then she started to sneeze again and again until she felt her eyes water. 'Hiddenstar!' she shouted in her head as she started to stalk off towards the warriors' den not caring if IceBite followed, that is until she sneezed again which was followed by a cough. It was her horrible cold she caught in Leaf-Bare getting to her once again. The same cold that caused her to be in a make-shift den for almost a moon and a half alone with only WolfStar who knew of some herbs to help her when IceBite was going. Shaking her head, she flicked her tail out in a harsh matter before setting herself down feeling way to weak to move. 'What is this?' she thought,'I was fine a moment ago.'

IceBite's ears ed to the left and then to the right. The sound of sneezes slowly ceased. Giving a light sigh he dropped his stance, going back to his yarrow and heading back to camp. In his mind he did not really thought of who was in the cliffs. Instead he was thinking about poisons and herbs. Trying to figure a constructive way to use the poisons he had in the back of the den. Perhaps if he told WolfStar his plan to use poisons in battle to make sure their opponents were killed and have no possible way they could be brought back even with aid. It made IceBite grin ear to ear. As he reached camp he saw CrossMark and heard sneezes and coughs from her. His grin fell away from his face as he neared her. Dropping Yarrow and batted her on the head roughly. "Next time when your coughing up a lung go straight to my den and wait instead of affecting the whole camp .Now get your sick self in there." With that said he picked up the yarrow and headed into his den.

CrossMark's golden brown eyes glared up at IceBite as the hair long her neck began to stand on end before she stalked towards in his den mumbling and cursing under her breath. Lashing her tail out, she dissappeared at the entrance before setting herself down on a random nest glaring at the entryway just daring for the medicine cat to walk in. Little did she notice she was wheezeing with each breath she took, but then again everything happen so sudden that she was still puzzled on why it just came out from no where while before it took ages for it to get this bad. Though mostly her anger from IceBite's remark set her through the roof.

IceBite entered into his den to see CrossMark glaring at him. He stopped at the enterance, pulled back his teeth and glared at her in return. He spit the yarrpw to the left, letting the herb lay on the ground with no care. "Don't look at me like that. If you want me to I can let the sickness effect you, it'll leave you weak and helpless. So which is better? Me helping you or me not helping you?" Icebite asked sharply as he eased his way into his den. He walked past her to head deeper into the den and to grab some herbs. Within moments he turn to her side, dropping the ingredients by her. "I don't know what you have so you have to help me out. Are you running a fever? Cold chills? Shortness of breath" The medicine cat ask, running down the list of symptoms.

CrossMark narrowed her eyes more before she felt the den spin slightly. Shaking her head, she settled herself down until IceBite returned listing off different things that she truly did not care about. "That did not stop you before," she retorted,"I was deathly sick and you were no where to be found. WolfStar had to help me in a den five fox lenghts away from camp." Curling her nose, she glanced down at the herbs not knowing what any of them where. "Yes, I've had this before. I am coughing and sneezing. Are you blind and deaf now?" she snapped still not noticing her wheezing. She was a wonderful person to be a doctor for, but maybe she was so bitter because she was sick. Who knows. Whatever the case, it was more a temper than normal. Even for her which was strange.

The white medicine-cat was about to reply a witty comeback but he let it die on his lips. So he was still unforgiven when he left for that period of time? It was understandable but still it hurt him to a point. Shaking his head lightly as he thought to himself 'It was in the past and this is the present.' IceBite did not reply to CrossMark's harsh statements, ridiculing him as he asked before the list of symptoms. Without saying anything he pressed his nose in the pile of herbs, inhaled the scents before he opened his jaws and grabbed tansy and placed it near her. "That should help the cough. I don't have anything for the wheezing or sneezes. If you want you can stay in here or leave. I don't care either way but eat the herb first before you make up your mind." The white-tom said slowly as he picked the rest of the herbs and placed them in their right spots. IceBite returned back to CrossMark's side. Sitting down, wrapping his long tail around his paws. His blue eyes watched intensely waiting for her to eat the Tansy.

CrossMark studied IceBite for the slightly long pause he made after her remarks. Blinking slowly, she watched him push the tansy towards her and setting it down on her nest. Blinking, she leant forward sniffing it before curling her nose in disgust. At least last time she was almost completely out of it that she had no idea what she was eating. Frowning, she ate it slowly before swallowing it quickly making a horrible face. Though she knew it was for the best. She was not an idiot and would not be like the other mouse-brain she-cats and water down the herbs. Smacking her jaws for a moment, the taste was almost gone and during this time she thought of where to stay and she figured being away from the other clan members was a better deal for her. Standing up, she looked at IceBite for a moment before walking around four times in the nest curling into a small ball with her tail wrapped over herself. Both golden brown eyes looking towards a dark wall as she ingored her nose which was now running.

IceBite stared at CrossMark before he gave her a curt nod with his head. "Sleep well." He said lightly as he rose from his hunches and walked out of his den. Before he left he turned to gaze over his shoulder. Leaving CrossMark on her own as he ventured to the forest to grab more Tansy.

CrossMark simply rolled her eyes before setting her chin on top of the soft moss ingore the pain that was coming to her sides from the coughing from ealier. Coughing once more, she felt herself drift off into sleep, though as always, deep in thought.
