She suffered from sleep insomnia, but didn't like to talk about it much, so she'd sneak out without anyone knowing to relax and stare up at the stars until she felt relaxed and her brain quieted down. But while Featherpaw was sitting quietly in the laurels and grasses, staring at the bright lit stars, a rather sad sound interrupted the quiet. It wasn't a pretty sound; someone who's yelling and choking and crying. For a brief moment, her hackles rose as she wondered if there were more than one cat there. Perhaps an attack? But she only scented one cat, a windclan cat. Seeing as they'd be a friend, Featherpaw quietly padded over in their direction, before finding the form of none other than Leopardpaw. She almost asked her friend if she was okay, but that was a dumb question, so instead she padded over and sat down beside her. The dandelions tickled her tail a bit, but Featherpaw didn't mind. Her fluffy white tail soothingly stroked her friends back as she cried. "It'll all be okay." She meowed softly.

At the touch of her tail and the sound of her voice, Leopardpaw jumped slightly, fur bristling and claws unsheathing. But quickly she eased, realizing it was only Featherpaw. She tried to speak but she choked on her words and just shook her head. She might have been over reacting maybe but she didn't think so. Her friend- no, her sister- was dying, and she couldn't stop it. She couldn't save her. She didn't want Moonpaw to die, and to be frank, she couldn't bare it at all. Leopardpaw could feel new tears falling from her eyes. "N-No... it wont..." she mumbled, her blue eyes glimmering in the moonlight. "I'm scared, Featherpaw..." she said in a soft, hoarse whisper.

A lean, sleek she cat padded in, her glossy white pelt shining,"The elders den?" She sniffed the air,being blind makes it harder to find what den I'm in, but this is the place, early retirement because I can't see She sighed,"Well I guess this could be better than the warriors den, they don't tell good stories, elders tell the best." She purred remembering her apprentice days, stumbling around blindly, bumping into cats, she could fight, not well, but she could, she looked at the little apprentice who wandered in,"Wanna here a story?" She asked
@Turtlestrike can you be the apprentice!)

(Sure, I think I need to start roleplaying apprentices XD)
Stormpaw wandered into the elders' den, looking around curiously. A clump of moss was clutched in his jaws, and he nodded enthusiastically at the question. "Yesh, pleashe," he said around the moss.

The tom sat down and wrapped his tail around his paws eagerly, ears pricked.

"Well as you can see I'm blind," she started off,"One day I was hunting and I scented a bird, I chased it and before I knew it I was in the river trying to swim," she took a breath,"My mentor came to help me out and I accidentally pulled him in, he was so mad, he had a super thick fur coat and it was so cold, I laughed all night!" She was laughing a bit

Dovecloud had always seen Phantompaw's father, her real father, in Phantompaw. And she wasn't sure if that was a good thing. “Sure.” the molly said, shaking her pelt and trying to act as if nothing was wrong.

(To the territory!)
ShinePaw sighed with relief and let her muscles untense and let her tail flop to the ground. Trailing her tail behind her, ShinePaw left the apprentices' den and raced out of camp to the open moorlands of WindClan, the place she was proud to call home.

He snorted in amusement. "I'd hate that," he said. "My fur is thick, and it's terrible even when it only rains. It gets waterlogged and heavy. But at least that gives me an excuse to sit in the sun."

She laughed, he laugh was young and full of energy,"And then another time, I ambushed him from a tree and covered him in snow!" She laughed remembering how he punished her by making her help the elders, she was always helping the elders durning her apprentice days

The apprentice barked a laugh. "I hate snow," he said. "It's too cold and hard."

She chuckled,"That's what my mentor said!" She laughed again,"That day we had a battle, he didn't return, he was lost in the frozen waters that night," she whispered sadly

Featherpaw's sad blue gaze flicked back to the form of the taller, older apprentice. Hearing her words, Featherpaw frowned. "Now why do you think that?" She asked, her head cocked to the left side. "Surgestorm is the best medicine cat there is, and last I heard, Moonpaw was doing very good! I'm sure she'll be okay. She will be. I promise." Featherpaw meowed in a reassuring manner. "How are you doing, Leopardpaw?" She asked after a moment, looking into the other feline's tear filled eyes. Featherpaw waited for a response as the gentle night breeze ruffled her snow-coloured pelt. It was a clear, starry night, without much wind besides the slight zephyr. The laurels looked a grey-purple in the dark light, but the taller grasses were silver from the serene glow of the brightly shining moon. Featherpaw looked back up at the large, glowing moon, her own clear-blue eyes wet with tears for her friend. She didn't know Moonpaw as well as Leopardpaw, but she was no less sad about the tragic accident. But unlike Leopardpaw, Featherpaw was positive that Moonpaw would make it through this. She had no doubt about this, actually. Featherpaw's uncanny ability to predict how things would turn out was nothing more than logic and heart combined; which the young cat had a surprising amount of.
