Snowypaw
Scalepaw's body had finally ceased its trembling. It had been a slow process, but one that Snowypaw had been willing to go through. It was best not to rush these things, especially if he could get his clanmate to feel better in the end. Settling comfortably on his side, the large apprentice stifled a yawn. It had been a few days since he'd had a good night's sleep. Refusing to leave his guard at the entrance for when Deadmoon returned. Because she
would return. She had to.
His companion's words cutting through his thoughts, Snowypaw turned a curious glance his way, lips pursing as he realized he did not know. Snowypaw remembered nothing of his life prior to his first two moons of life. He always assumed it had been because he was too young, but that never seemed to quite make sense. A three moon old kit would surely remember what had happened a mere moon prior. Like Scalepaw, he had simply taken to blocking... something away. Some memory that came back to haunt him in his deepest nightmares. For Snowypaw, it always ended whenever he woke up. True, it was always with a start, and his heart racing faster than a hare down the moor, but it always ended before he could firmly grasp at whatever had woken him up.
This did not seem to be the case with Scalepaw. The gray apprentice was obviously much more connected to his terrifying memories than Snowypaw was, especially if they threatened to spill over and could affect his daily life even when awake. Something of this scale had never happened to Snowypaw, and the patched apprentice was at a loss for words. Would Cowpaw know what to do? Would Twilightstar? Or perhaps Fallownose?
A small frown marred the large apprentice's features as he turned his gaze towards his massive paws, swiping his injured pad with his tongue as he racked his brain for answers that would not come. At long last, Snowypaw gave a defeated sigh before giving Scalepaw an apologetic gaze, dulled blue eyes meeting confused blue ones for a moment before he turned back to his paws.
"I... I don't know, sorry..." he finally admitted in a tired voice, his ears drooping with regret.
"Maybe you can go to Cowpaw and ask for help when the nightmares come back. Or... you could go to a cat you trust. Perhaps their presence will help keep the monsters at bay."
