    ❝ THERE'S SOMEONE ELSE IN ME, JUST WAITING TO BREAK FREE ❞


    It felt odd - sleeping away from her siblings. While she now once more shared a den with her dear mothwr, she sincerally missed her littermates. So today was going to be special - while coldnose had never been good with words, she was good with actions. Shed gathered shiny golden feathers and rain drenched flowers, and she'd carefully laid them together in some moss. She knew that the apprentices wrre always so busy cleaning out the other cats dens they almost never got to fix their own nests. "Stormpaw... you awake?" shed mumble out around her mouthful as she peered into the den.


    It wasnt quite dawn yet, so she was probably disturbing him, but she wanted to make up for the lack of time they had spent together.


    ❝ YOU LAUGH AND SMILE AT ME, BUT YOU DON'T SAY A THING ❞

    SOMEONE TOSS ME A ROPE —

            

    Stormpaw had been asleep, but his sister's words dragged him from his slumber. He was used to sleeping a bit later than the other apprentices, which he probably shouldn't do, but he couldn't help feeling tired all the time.


    "Yeah... I'm awake." he replied, rubbing his face with one paw. Groggily, he stepped carefully out of his nest and around the other apprentices, eventually coming to the entrance of the den. As he saw his sister standing there he smiled. "Oh, hi. Um... good morning." the tom said, peering out of the den and surveying the clan in the early morning light.

    Pushung the rather decoratuve nest towards him, she'd quitely say "for you. Its... soft" yeah - ahe wasnt very good at ghis. But she really wanted to show him she was still there. Stormpaw didnt seem as happy and cheerful and out there as hed once been, and she wanted him to feel that way again. She just... didint know how.

    SOMEONE TOSS ME A ROPE —

    A soft smile emerged on his face, lightening up his mood considerably. Suddenly waking up didn't seem too bad. Stormpaw aimed to bump his shoulder against Coldnose's while admiring the gift she had brought him.


    "It's so pretty! Oh man, everyone else is gonna be so jealous." he muttered, sneaking a look back into the den at the sleeping apprentices. They're not gonna know what hit 'em, he mused, smirking. The tom then took one white-furred paw and prodded it, admiring the softness and springiness of the moss.


    "You're right, it is soft! ... Coldnose, thank you so much." Stormpaw said, a slight purr evident in his voice. This was one of the nicest things anyone had ever done for him... for some reason he felt like he was going to cry. But no, it was just something in his throat. Yeah. That's what it was, he told himself, turning to look to his sister with his smile still plastered on his face.
