Silverclaw's gray tabby pelt rippled as he ran, crashing blindly in to branches. He felt blood drizzling down a cut in his nose and wheeled to a stop.
"We'll kill each other." he quietly, worriedly murmured to himself.
The blind tabby panted heavily. He loved Hawkpath, but would he be the death of her.
A voice behind him broke his thoughts.

"Silverclaw! What are you doing? I've been looking everywhere for you!" Hawkpath tilted her head in wonder at what the tom had been doing. "You're a mess! Why are you bleeding?" Her questions bubbled up in her mind and tempted to blow her brains out her ears.

"I'm going to be the death of you one day. We can't be mates if I'm going to kill you!" he snapped, backing away. "We can't keep seeing each other. Not anymore."

Hawkpath gasped. She looked at the ground. Her throat clogged up and she could only hear the beating of her own heart in her ears. "Why would you...kill me?"

"Eaglestar.. I heard her... she prophecied that everything would happen again. One of us would die." he quietly murmured, hoping that his eyes weren't facing hers.

"One of us? That doesn't mean you would kill me. Someone else..." Suddenly she had a flashback. Something tore at her heart and she felt agony and sorrow, regret. She saw lightning...felt the rain, freezing into snow on her pelt, a tree falling, and a cat's body being frozen. She shook her head. "I..."

Silverclaw's heart skipped a beat. He was caught up in her memories! Lightning struck a tree branch and the heavy tree fell towards a pretty she-cat, identical to Hawkpath. A young tom with a strange similarity to himself leaped to push her out of the way. He was crushed under the tree's dark, heavy covering. "No!" he wailed. He would be the one to die!

Hawkpath blinked. "Silverclaw...I won't let anything happen to you. Ever." She nuzzled him, hoping to comfort him.

Silverclaw sighed. "I..." his blind eyes stung with tears. "I can't take that risk. You might die, too." he quietly meowed.

Silverclaw's heart skipped a beat and his eyes flew wide with shock. He could hear his heartbeat deafening out all other noises. Dumbfounded, the gray tabby froze. "What?" he yowled, not sure whether to be happy or sad.

Silverclaw turned away for a second, digging deep. He thought for a moment. He felt excited! "We won't let the prophecy kill us!" he boasted, leaping towards her and sitting beside her.
