    Asterpaw was in his bed, asleep even though it was broad daylight. If anyone saw the dog, it would appear as if he were simply tossing and turning and mumbling in his sleep. But in reality, it was a totally different thing.




    The dog was having another panic attack. This time in his sleep. He had thought his panic disorder had faded a bit, but apparently it hadn't. The recurring panic attacks were still haunting him, though this time it came in his sleep. At least he hadn't developed Agoraphobia...




    Finally, after bumping his head quite hard against the floor, Aster jolted awake, heterochromatic eyes wide. "Not now...not here..." he muttered, feeling his blood run cold, like ice being painfully shoved through each and every one of his veins. His vision was blurry, small black dots appearing all over, like tunnel vision. He gasped, chest rising and falling rapidly with each shallow breath he took. He was close to hypervenrilating; he couldn't get enough oxygen into his lungs, and that scared him even more. He had no clue what brought this one on, but he prayed to whatever gods were out there that none of his clanmates found him like this and laughed at him.




    He simply couldn't live that down. So far, no one knew about his extremely scattered panic disorder. The panic attacks only happened about once every three months, so no one had caught on yet. But he hadn't, either, so he had no idea that he could actually get help for his disorder instead of being surprised by it every time.

  • Hazelstep had been woken up by the canine's murmurs and shakes, and now she stared at him with wide, scared eyes. "A-Asterpaw?" she asked in a hushed tone, then immediately felt mousebrained. "Can you hear me?" she said. The bengal warrior felt more than a little useless as she watched him, and wished she knew if herbs could stop this.

  • [justify]I-it's okay Aster, b-breathe, think of h-happy thoughts Rory would try to advice, padding over to the older male. He didn't know them that well, however that didn't mean he couldn't help, besides, he could tell they were facing panic, and he did that to help calm down. D-do you want to go on a walk with me? T-that always seems t-to help me when I'm h-having trouble the domestic tabby would then offer, hoping he would be helpful instead of simply unhelpful.

    [fancypost bgcolor=; borderwidth=0px; width: 274px; text-align: justify; font: 12px georgia;]Willowkit arrived on the scene, but did not really understand what was going on. All that she knew was that someone needed help and so she was there. She watched for a minute, but finally decided to jump in and get involved. If something was really wrong - and smethkng seemed really wrong - they could take all the help they could get. "Can I do anything?" She asked nervously.

    [fancypost bgcolor= transparent; overflow: auto; width: 300px; height: 100px; border: 0px transparent; color: white;]In response to Hazelstep's question, the black-furred apprentice simply shook his head, curling in on himself even further. He continuously shook his head, his eyes squeezing shut tighter. He couldn't even face his clanmates; they probably thought he was weak because of this. "N-no..." he mumbled, trying to do as Rory advised him.




    Razzi...Chaos...Tiberius...Belgianwaffles...




    Soon he managed to calm his erratic breathing, cracking his eyes open and simply nodding once towards Rory, standing up on wobbly legs.

The little femme managed to get out as she pressed her way gently past two NPCs and to Asterpaw's side. The little darling aimed to wrap her bushy tail around the pup, cosmic eyes calm. "Hey there, glad to have you back Aster dear, how are you feeling? Would you like to come back to the medicine cat den with me and have some tea? Maybe a take a nap so I can make sure you're alright?"
