(Congrats Topaz!! I'm thinking Running will speak one of the later times. She has a lot to say, but she doesn't get the point of words)

Topazkit's ears swiveled toward a sound. It came from the back of the nursery. He stalked toward it, then leapt over the moss, barreling into Runningkit. He gave a playful giggle. "Gotcha Runningkit!" He mewed happily.

The normal dream came to him as StarClan warriors gathered around. One gesturing to a faint outline of what appeared to be him. The silhouette was growing darker, not by much as this was his third life, but enough to give him chills. Eventually he would lose them all and he wouldn't be looking at a silhouette. It would actually be him standing there.

A prey offering was given to the leader who happily took it. StarClan's prey seemed more flavorful and filling than prey in the clans. However, he knew this was simply a way to keep him busy while they healed him.

~~~

Before he knew it, Blazingstar was taking gasps of air, eyes brightening back up and his body flailing a little as he remembered he was just in his nest. The leader felt wore out, but already he could tell the sickness had left his body. It was just getting over the sore throat and aching from being sick that would linger longer. Remembering the apprentice, he looked up at Patchpaw concerned. "You shouldn't.... have been here for that," he apologized, frowning a little.

(sorry for the kinda late response)
Patchpaw's legs had finally given out as she watched her leader's yellow eyes grew dim. She laid near him, her nose almost touching his paw, for she didn't know his boundaries well. She knew that he would come back alive, as was custom for leaders, but in the back of her mind, a fear lurked that something would happen and he would not breathe another breath of fresh air again. She stayed by him her heart pounding and mind running amuck with anxieties growing by the second.

When Blazingstar came too she jumped up, and bombarded him with worry fueled questions "are you okay? How are you? You at least don't hurt anymore, do you? Please tell me you are okay?" Her amber eyes were filled with concern and wide, trying to read him.

She looked up at her mentor, excitement sparkling in her green eyes. "Where are we going?" she asked. "Are we gonna go hunting? Or will you show me the rest of the territory?"

Webcloud purred, glad she got such an excited apprentice. She's seen some cats who are lazy or refuse to listen. Newpaw was the perfect cat for her. "We're gonna go practice in the training hollow today." She spoke and stood, leading the smaller cat away.

I'm so sorry!" She apologized, moving off the tom and sitting back on her haunches. "I'm a little hare-brained."

(So sorry this is late.)

As a molly crashed into him Pipitfeather let out a shocked squeak like noise. Regaining his balance the splotchy tom nervously twitched his ears. "N-no it's fine." He mumbled awkwardly his blue eyes avoiding detract contact with Webcloud. Talking and being around cats made him nervous which was one reason why he didn't do it to much. When she called herself hare-brained he had to disagree. "I... uh.. I wouldn't say that, you don't seem hare brained." Pipitfeather meowed twitching his tail not quite sure how the molly would react to him.

((No worries, figured you were busy.))

Webcloud flicked her tail to show the kit she was done playing and the kit soon found a new playmate. The white cat tilted her head at the nervous tom in front of him. "Well you'll be the first to say so," she purred. "Not often we get to talk like this," she mentioned. Webcloud usually didnt have great conversation with the other warriors anyway and tried to hang out with the kits more.

@Duskflight


this freedom was..foreign to larkfall. it had been moons since he had parted ways with cuckoosnarl. his shoulders didnt feel too heavy anymore. he could walk around with ease. he didnt have to ask to leave the den or take scraps of his lovers food instead of having a full belly. he was recovering. he was still scrawny with his scars along his body, caused by cuckoosnarl and his temper, but he was trying to eat more. now without him he felt.. lonely. cuckoosnarl had been possessive of him, not only for his attention but also in fear larkfall would come to his senses by the support of his friends. he was at that stable point now, and he realized it had been so long since hes even spoken to one of his friends. slipping out of the warriors den he was met with the bitter cold, huffing to see his breath. cuckoosnarl wasnt inside. with every step he took it was like a breath of fresh air. amber eyes peered around the camp. he never realized how pretty it was. he always had been looking downwards in fear, head low to the ground, stature slouched in submission. but now he was perking up. he saw the first familiar face in awhile, and darting towards the tom. duskflight. when was the last time they had spoken? probably before cuckosnarl came into his life..and that was awhile ago. he felt bad for not speaking for so long. he halted on his paws, standing infront of the other cat, tail twitching nervously. suddenly his mouth went dry and he didnt know what to say. what was there to say after all this time? "hi..duskflight," he greeted softly, paws digging into the snow a bit nervously,"its been awhile."

newpaw followed her mentor once again, and headed out of the camp towards the training hollow. She was excited to get training.

Once they reached the moor, Webcloud nodded to the other cats and area where they wouldnt collide during training. "Alright, attack me." She said, sheathing her claws.

Newpaw was surprised but her bluntness but obeyed. She backed up and ran forward, leaping into the air, intending to land on her mentor and dig her class into her pelt.

Webcloud easily dodged, side stepping the attack and swatting at her apprentice, planning on pushing her over. "Predictable." She explained. "You want the person yoyr attacking to not know what to expect."
