Dreams

[~Ravenpaw~]

Ravenpaw jerked awake she almost screamed as she did, she gasped slightly, and looked around her. She relaxed only a bit, as she saw she was in the apprentices den, she hated it in there, but this was where she was supposed to sleep. It had annoyed her that she couldn't just sleep in the Medicine cats den, she let out a small snarl, and curled up again looking at the empty space beside her that made her feel empty inside. She turned away from it swiftly not wanting to get upset again, it was like this every morning, a huge disappointment. She longed to see the small black form that was once her brother sleeping right beside her, her other half, her heart and soul, he was missing. Ravenpaw sighed and got up, she didn't want to stay in there any longer, she padded out quietly heading to the medicine cat's den. When she got there she stood at the entrace, her tiny body making only a small shadow as she looked in, her icy blue eyes peered inside as she looked for her mentor, "Waspsnest?" She muttered, wondering is he was there.

The medi cat let out a slight snort as he was awaken from his slumber. His ears twisted back and he looked around, his dreams had put him in a state of alarm and fear. He had had the dream over and over. A dark storm, shadows of cats, lightning as the clans names were spoken. His breath had picked up at the memory. Starclan needed to be much more clear, the dream could mean anything. It took him a moment before he noticed a darkened form in the den enterance. The voice that had woken him registed in his plagued mind. Jetstripe. He whispered as he stood and streached, his russet fur catching in the sunlight of the morning. He approached the apprentace. What is it? He asked, it was a rather foolish question since the cat normaly woke him in the morning. His mind strayed to the dream once more, he could not shake the eerie feel it gave him. He shook his head, trying desperately to push the voices and storm away. Then sighed.

Ravenpaw gazed up at him with her icy blue eyes, they were cold, but had a hint of sorrow mix into them. "What are we doing today" She meowed quietly, a question she asked every morning, today was no different, the way she said it though made her sound almost desprate for a distraction. Ravenpaw was hoping he would answer her with a task of something to do, she wanted to escape from the world for a while, to escape the pain, and enjoy the thought of learning about herbs. It was the one thing she looked foreward to in the day the only reason she actually got up from her sleep, which she would have anyways, nightmares only getting worst everyday. However with herbs she would at least have something to do, and with her mentor someone to talk with even if they didn't always get along.

The medi cat's nose twitched at the eagerness of his apprentace. Why was this cat always so eager to do things, even clean ticks? Today, we will.. eh.. The russet tom paused realizing he hadn't planned what they were going to do that day. We're going to...... do whatever training you think you need to improve on. he chuckled taking a lot of his part of the work out of it. Sometimes, he could get away with doing stuff like that. His eyes met the icy others. Is something bothering you? he asked, his tail flicking out behind him. You look..... tired, stressed, even sad. He wondered if the same thing shown in his eyes, forced there by the nightmares he had everynight about the storm. He sighed once more.

[~Ravenpaw~]

Ravenpaw looked at him, "Improve?" She said to herself, the small black she-cat thought about it, "I guess I could improve on finding certain herbs" She meowed, then she turned her head away from him, looking beside her expectingly, she sighed with slight realization, her ears and tail lowered slightly, then thought about it. She looked back at him, "More nightmares" She muttered simply, "trouble sleeping, as for the sad part, I don't want to talk about it" She whispered the last part.

His milky amber orbs traced over her form. Something was bothering her, he acctually wanted to know. But, instead, he sighed. Herb gathering it is then. he forced a smiled onto his rims as his tail swished out behind him. I've been having nightmares too. It it makes you feel any better. He explained softly.

[~Ravenpaw~]

Ravenpaw nodded silently, she was almost glad to be able to get out of camp for a little while, she stood up again, perking up her pointed ears quietly and staring out with her icy blue eyes. Ravenpaw knew she had to wait for Waspsnest to go first, she looked down at the ground and dug her claws into it, "You to?" She mentioned, "what are yours about?" She questioned, wondering if his was the same as hers. Ravenpaw had a slight hope that his might be the same, just so she could at least say she wasn't going mad, and that her dreams were caused by.. Her thoughts trailed off there, she lowered her ears again, and merely waited.

Waspsnest's miky orbs trailed along the ground for a long moment. Then shifted to the dull sky above them. Storms. Shadey cats. Lightning. It's all messed up and unclear, staticy. There are voices, ones i don't know. A terrible darkness. Yowls and frays of fur. Then nothing, I wake up. He found it hard to put into words all of what he had seen. Everything was so unclear and blurred, cold darkness. He was like an onlooker caught in the panic. I feel starclan is warning us of something, but, i can't put my paw on it. The russet tom stood and motioned for her to fallow, what have you been dreaming of? he asked as he watched his paws as they moved.

[~Ravenpaw~]

Ravenpaw's icy blue eyes trailed that of his own, as she watched him quietly, she listened to what he had been dreaming nodding everynow and then, she agreed with the starclans warning theory, it seemed logical. Ravenpaw's ears twitched ever so slightly, as she had been asked what she had seen, her gaze lowered again from him, as she got up and followed the sound of his foot steps which she traced out in her mind as a path. Ravenpaw didn't know how to say it, nothing she thought of in her mind seemed normal, she pushed it away and explained the way she thought would work, "Before every dream I have, I always see cats made out of stars in the night sky. Some stand out more then others as if calling out to me, then I hear someone say my name, and then these huge black storm clouds appear. The clouds seemed to swallow the star cats, and then it chases after me, in the clouds I can see cats... made of shadows and darkness, they lash out and jump from the clouds attacking me, one pins me down and right before they attack I wake up" She explained.

He nodded. Putting the two stories together made more sense than not. You are on your way to becoming a medi, dreams are a part of the job. He explained with a forced smile. I think we are being warned of a group of cats who plan to take down the clans. I believe starclan may try to help, and may be destoryed in the prosses. He sighed. Then what was the storm? For all he knew all it ment was there was to be a flood. He sighed again.

[~Ravenpaw~]

Ravenpaw looked up at him again, "Yey" She said not meaning it one bit, she didn't even sound excited, she was just being herself. "If Starclan is sending us warnings of their doom, you would think they would do a better job explaining it" She meowed, "I hate riddles" She whispered to herself quietly so as not to be heard. Ravenpaw glanced around and wondered where they were going.

[poison]

You should be gathering Herbs. the male chuckled with a forced grin. He wanted to forgit about the dreams. He was getting to old for this stuff, and he was still young! He sighed and sat down on his haunched. Get to looking, when you find something, bring it back and lable it for me. He chuckled.

[~Ravenpaw~]

Ravenpaw huffed quietly and padded off in search of herbs, she looked around quietly wanting to stay clear from the river she looked more on the opposite direction, she spotted some juniper berries and picked them up and then head back to Waspsnest, she put them down, "Juniper berries" She meowed to him labeling them.

[poison]

The medi nodded his head. He admired how far the young one had come since he first took her into training. He chuckled at some of the memories. Correct, keep it up, you're getting there. He stated as he counted the berries at his feet. A sudden memory came to his mind. Elders. He would be an elder soon enough. He was nearly fourty moons now, there wasn't much more after that. He would soon give Ravenpaw her full name and let her take his place. He sighed, what name would he give her. Ravenpaw, i have a question for you, when the time comes for you to get your full name, what name are you hoping for? He chuckled, what names they like can reveal a lot about a cat.

[~Ravenpaw~]

Ravenpaw looked up at him, she smiled slightly when he said she got it right, it was a soft smile which was extremely rare for her, it was hardly ever seen, only a few times when she was learning about her did she even dare to smile. Ravenpaw blinked again, her smiled faded back into her usual look, her icy blue eyes watched him carefully, " A name?" she asked herself quietly she thought about it, "Smallpaw always said my eyes were like the moon, I guess if I could have anyname it would be Ravenmoon" she said as her ears lowered thinking of Smallpaw.
