He heard the tone in her voice, knew it well. He had heard it in every other dame he'd been with. The sound of losing another love. But this tore at him. He was torn between his duty and his heart.
Lightningfang had taken this opportunity to walk up unnoticed. She reached out and whacked Whitestripe a good one across the nose with a paw, keeping her claws sheathed so she didn't really hurt him.
"Idiot." That one word made all the point she needed to make.
She turned her back on her leader and walked up to Bella. "Come on. Girl talk."

"It's very simple. Stripe is an ANGSTY SONUVABADGER -" she said that part loud enough for her leader to hear "- and he feels he has to do this before he gets involved with personal stuff. So the stupid idiot was about to let Bella go." She looked back at her leader. Stupid idiot. He hadn't even noticed her old crush, the one that ended when Swiftclaw had left for the forest. It had made her realize he needed a sister more than a mate. So she had begun steering him towards leaving. The Pack wars had been a blessing in disguise.
"In other words, he's an idiot who needs a partner more than a mate right now. I can't really do that for him... I'm a constant reminder of his past."

Lite glared at Bella. "And why are you crying? I've been with him since before his turn-around, and all that keeps us together is the fact that I know him so well and balance him as a leader. He needs you."
Her anger wasn't deep. She had made her voice fierce in order to wake the she-cat up, to get her focused on something else.
"Don't cry, plan," she added, speaking the piece of advice that had served her and her leader so well in the past.

He laughed, a bitter mockery of happiness. "She's pure as fresh snow, she's as beautiful as the moonlight in the trees, she's... perfect. Too perfect for me. Feh, I don't know why I bother. I'll never deserve her, even after this is all over. Even after this, my heart will just be grey, cleansed but not recreated." He hissed in mental pain, scratching his claws on the forest. "You can't see it, no one but I can. These claws have shed so much blood, they're stained. I can't - can't ever clean them!" His voice broke at the end.
Lightning stared at Bella. "It's your heart, your life. You have to live it. Now, later, whenever. He needs you, and he knows it. He's so selfless, he'd rather sacrifice his own soul rather than corrupt yours."
She looked back at him as he scratched the forest floor. "He's doing it again - trying to clean his claws off. He sees the blood he's shed on his claws. He'll probably do that his whole life."

Darkheart looked in his eyes feircely "Hey now.. Listen to me.. She loves you. Cant you see that in her eyes?? from the moment she saw you she has. Her smile is true... She dosnt think of you lowly or in any bad way. you are a light to her... she sees through your darkness. she sees you for not what you have done but for you.
Bellas heart fluttered... she turned to Lightining and smiled "i'd do anything for him..... i wannna help.."

"Grraah! It's complicated!" He stopped, then whispered, "No. No cowardice." He breathed deep. "I know she loves me. That's what's so dangerous. She's already tasted the darkness, she's going to become like... No. Not like me, never like me." He looked to Darkheart, his eyes wide in realization. "She can't be like me. The forest healed me. The forest can keep the darkness at bay!"
He spun and dashed back, leaping over Lightning and skidding to a stop. "Bella, Lightheart, my dear Lightheart! Please forgive me for being so stupid. I might never be clean, but... You'll never be stained. My dear, pure Lightheart.
I love you." He whispered the last part, speaking just for her.
Lightningfang turned away, hacking a hairball at the sheer sweetness overload. "Ugh. Toooooo much sweet. Gak." She glanced over at Darkheart. "Thanks." She looked back at the mushy couple. "I'm going thataway. You coming?"
