( Cloudpaw | she/her | @RiztheHuntress @R0WAN @littlelove - for mention of whisker )

Sitting in-between her beloved adopted mama and best apprentice friend, the small fluffy molly had been drifting off into her own thoughts when the clan leader had announced two new kittens would be named apprentices. Wait… what? The name of the kits made her sit up and come back to reality. Whiskerkit? But… she thought… Cloudpaw turned her head to see none other than the familiar pelt of one of her blood littermates stepping forward. His chest was puffed out and looking quite proud of himself. Yep, that was definitely her brother. At that moment, the Riverclan apprentice didn’t know what to do. Had he been here this whole time? Were her fears coming true? Had her littermates just been avoiding her? Questions flooded her brain, but she kept silent, her ears drooping slightly. Cloudpaw turned away from the sight and buried her face into Moonfrost’s side. Her anxiety was getting bad again and she didn’t want to cry at another Riverclan meeting. Everything was fine. The black-and-white shecat should be happy to see one of her family members alive. So why did her chest hurt? Why did she feel so terrible inside? It confused her and even scared her a little bit. Whatever. It’s fine. Everything is fine. Nothing is wrong. Just keep it together. You’re not alone.
