Sunlight radiated off her pelt, the warmth sinking into her body. The sun felt nice today, even the chilled breeze that rustled the plains and moved the clouds. A soft sigh escaped Hazelflower's maw. "I'm kind of glad I can get out more." She meowed to no one in particular, though she turned her head to gaze at her friend affectionately. What would she do without Cottonspirit? At the mention of a patrol, she was hesitant but she was no longer confined to the nursery! Get out and live some more! Her mind seemed to scream at her. Every so often the felines eyes would sneak a glance to her side, comforted by the sight that her best friend, Cottonspirit, was still there... Guilt prickled underneath her cream colored pelt. How could she deserve such a friend as Cotton when she had been such a pain to deal with the last couple moons? Hazel barely had the energy to get up from her nest, let alone spend time with him - but here she was, on patrol and relieved ever step she took that led her farther away from camp. "I'm sorry I've been such poor company." Hazel meowed suddenly, her aqua gaze fixated on Cottonspirit. There was a tinge of guilt laced with her tone. "How have you been recently?"

Her ears pinned against her head now as a few tears escaped "if she is.....then why do I feel paranoid!? Why doesn't she talk to me!" she sort of yelled into her fur. However her ears perked up at the mention of her father, curiosity started to conquer her sadness , she didn't want to cause her mother more tears by asking question but she wanted to know what he was like! She never got to meet him! She peeked up and through her mother's pelt but didn't move her head "what was dad like? What was his name? " she asked curiously after a few sniffs, her heart felt like it was being crushed after the last sentence though , the warm heavy feeling being too much to bear "and when I'm a warrior I'll m-make sure to h-have your back!....your gonna live to be an elder!" her throat tightened when she was trying to speak making her gulp. She couldn't stand the idea of loosing her mother too.

As her daughters tears stained her pelt, she couldn't help but shed a few of her own, resting her head gently on top of Fallowpaw's. Hazelflower had faced countless nights of restless sleep, and when she did finally manage to sleep all she had was nightmares... about herself... about Fallowpaw and Mudkit.... about Hawkfeather... The feline gave her head a gentle shake, a choked sob of laughter sounding from her throat. It had been intentional on Hazelflower's part that she never mentioned anything of Hawkfeather to the girls. Her motives may have been selfish, but at the same time, she dreaded them thinking that he abandoned them... but did he? No.. Don't think like that, he's dead... Hazel thought bitterly to herself. "Starclan wouldn't let her go to the other place. Never." Her voice was barely a reassuring whisper. "We can't always hear what we want to hear... maybe she's just trying to let you know she's still always with you." And with that a moment of silence washed over Hazelflower as she once again became lost in thought. "His name was Hawkfeather." She whispered, "He was incredibly nice, very charismatic. He absolutely fawned all the time over you two before you were even born, in fact, he thought of Fallow!" Her voice seemed a bit more chirpy at the memory, though a wracked sob shook her body. "I promise I won't ever leave you, I promise Fallowpaw." Hazelflower sobbed quietly, nuzzling the apprentice's ears.

"If your trying to eat it," Ospreywing told the younger cat, "If your trying to eat it, elders and kits eat first, then comes apprentices and warriors!"

"I know that we feed elders, kits, and queens first I'm not a kit anymore!"Tripaw said, embarrassingly. After catching a few more rabbit Tripaw turned to Ospreywing and said. "Did you know that I had to beg Blazingstar and give him my most pitiful look for him to make me a warrior apprentice?"

"HA! That's HILARIOUS!" Ospreywing laughed. She did not mean to hurt the poor apprentice, so she added quickly, "Sorry, but it's just so funny, look at you now, you do your duty very well! To think that..." The cream and gold furred molly abrubtly stopped.

"My missing arm never put me down, in fact I like joking about it." Tripaw said. "Now what do you think again."

"Oh, nothing!" Ospreywing replied quickly.

"Well we should get back to camp before we're in trouble."Tripaw added." Sometimes my mom visits me in dreams, She died before my eyes opened, But the other queens rejected me, I'd go out and hunt in the night to get fresh-kill. Granted, I wasn't that good at it. But I'm here now!"

"He, he! I planned on doing that too, as a kit. I never ended up doing it, though!" Ospreywing used to be more mischevious as a kit.

"I did it to live, it was a life or death decision. And I didn't want to join Starclan THAT soon."Tripaw said. "Though no one knew about it at the time."
