The silver warrior closed her eyes and just listened to the bushes rustle in the breeze. She felt Phantom next to her, but her friend was unhappy. ShineFlower hung her head and looked at the floor then turned to look at Phantom, who seemed to be lost in her thoughts. "I can tell you're not happy...you can go back if you want...I know you're not happy with your life in your new home though. But even now, you're not entirely happy with me here. You hated leaving...but you don't want to look back. What's done is done. An you wouldn't change a thing about our relationship..." She paused then continued. "I regret things too. I killed your mother for StarClan sake! It really took a toll on me...made me see the world differently..." ShineFlower drifted off and decided to leave things there. She could sense Phantom getting a little aggressive.

[ That didn't happen? Dovecloud’s still alive I think. ]

Phantom whipped around and glared at Shineflower, her fur bristling and claws unsheathed as she looked the WindClan warrior up and down, seething with anger at Shineflower's words. “I'm not looking back! And you can't decide my path!” she hissed, tail lashing behind her, and she took a threatening step towards Shineflower, then stopped herself and backed away. “Look, I'm looking to the future! Our future! Shineflower, do really not see it? We met so long ago, and it wasn't an accident. Why else am I here now, with you, when I easily could've met any other cat?” Phantom's eyes were wide, desperate almost. Why couldn't Shineflower see what she meant. Ever since Gleamkit had teased them about being lovebirds or whatever she'd said, Phantom had realized that she did in fact love Shineflower. “I came back because I- I lo- love you....” she finished, shaking her head vigorously.
