While Lavendersong remained in the Medicine Cat’s den, resting and recuperating from the exhaustion and her injury, Creepingpaw decided he would show up to the gathering for the both of them. Although, he was deeply reluctant. Ever since he returned to the news of Shockhoney’s death, Creepingpaw hadn’t been quite himself. His fiery, competitive and mischievous spirit seemed to all but vanish. The vivid green hues of his eyes that once burned bright with intensity seemed faded and greyed. His expression remained monotoned and apathetic. His tense muscles rippled underneath his sleek coat as he dug his claws into the ground and began to grit his teeth. Creepingpaw couldn’t help but endure the pang of heartbreak upon hearing Bumblestar mentioning himself and Lavendersong. How could he possibly feel welcomed back without his best friend? And no true answers as to what happened to her?
