"B - bad... b - bad me... me - memories," A shudder surged through the Siamese's pelt and she gave a mental sigh of relief when she stopped shaking. Her legs felt too weak to hold up the rest of her body. But the warrior didn't want to be a burden on Lynxheart, especially since he had been so kind so far. She already felt like a burden on him. Her blue eyes studied him for a moment. She knew that he was probably only being nice to her because she was a clanmate, and had she been from another Clan - from anywhere else - he wouldn't have shown this kindness to her. It was just part of her mental state. Her legs shook and she tried to take a step fowards, her body still shuddering as though it couldn't stop. Oh, for StarClan's sake. Snowbreeze felt almost sick as the voices in her head, the voices of her previous bullies got louder and faster.

What's wrong, Snowbird? Maybe you should use those little wings of yours and fly away, hm?

Snowpaw, the biggest coward to set paw on ThunderClan soil, everybody. What are you even doing here, Snowbird?

They called her Snowbird even before she got her warrior name. They acted as though Snowbreeze were a nothing. And made her believe it too. She wished Lynxheart wasn't so nice to her. But she wished he wouldn't leave. Company was something she both feared and longed for, and it was about to strain her mind to the breaking point. Which one did she want more? For him to stay, or go?

Lynxheart's brow raised as Snowbreeze told him that nothing was wrong and that she was just having bad memories. It obviously wasn't nothing, she was still shaking! Soon afterwards, she stopped, but Lynxheart still thought that something was going on with her. He knew that they didn't know each other very well but he honestly wanted to help her. "Pardon me," he mewed gently, "but it doesn't seem like nothing. I understand if you don't want to talk to me, but there must be someone you can talk to." Lynxheart took a step away, feeling he should give her some physical space after a question like that, one that could potentially lead to emotional closeness.
