MELODYKIT ;;

-----> Immediately her paw was on his, her heart going out to the poor boy. She had never really thought long or hard about her role to play as an apprentice. She'd never really been opposed to working hard, or doubtful of her ability. But after the events with the twoleg where it took only a short week to break her...She swallowed and nosed his shoulder gently. "Hey, hey, you shouldn't give up so quickly. You're just starting out - you have a lot of room to grow," she promised him softly, her smile bright but soft, "everyone starts off clumsy and inexperienced, but you'll get better," her gaze flashed, "and once I become a 'paw, ill help you out, and we'll get to be great warriors"

She thought about his offer, then suggested, " Maybe we can walk around the outside of camp? Stick close-" so we don't get kidnapped " -so we don't get into trouble," she finished with a cheeky smile. As if her heart hadn't temporarily stopped with those awful memories.

But despite her nerves, she wanted to get turtlepaw on his feet. See if she could show him some things to love about being a paw - a warrior.

-----> Mel blinked, then startled. She was still unused to Icefeather's words. She had gotten used to Ice being selectively mute. She followed Ice's tail flick to the elder's understanding the significance. Her cheeks colored, turning her focus back on Ice. " A-ah, i'm so sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt anything" she said, shuffling her paws.

" I - um - I can help you with your work? Hold your herbs - or fetch some um - I'd be happy too" she said, eyes aglow. She wanted to distract herself from her woes. Make it up to Ice for stealing her attention.

-----> Dee happily let herself be pulled into her father's embrace. Squeezing herself into his soft pelt, she pressed her cheek against his chest. To her surprise she found herself feeling...shame. At first, she assumed it was because she was certain she had, in fact, woken him. Or in the very least, she had worried him. But...no, the shame ran deeper. It burned at the deepest part of her belly, a acidic ache of viper's poison. Closing her eyes, she fought against the rising tide, but it was unbeatable as her father soothed her with kind words she felt she didn't deserve.

She was ashamed that she was scared.

Ashamed that it had taken only a week to give her nightmares and a terrible fear of closed spaces.

Ashamed she wasn't stronger. Braver. True to herself.

She gazed dully at the ground as she hugged her father tighter. At last, she whispered, " It was...just a nightmare... "

Rubbing her eyes, she forced herself to smile, looking up at her adoptive dad. Not wanting to worry him - to think about her shame or her memories - she would plead, " Can you tell me some stories?"

MELODYKIT ;;

-----> Melodykit let out a sob.

Beneath her paws, splintery frgments of dead bark and wood, the same kind that made up the walls around her. Close, crampted den. Light filtered dimply through the small spaches above and below the entrance of the den, but too small for her to squeeze through. She was trapped. No light. No sky. No space.

No space.

Her breath was suffocated in the cramped den. Barely enough room for anything, and being locked in this room constantly for a week straight, there was unpleasantries to be avoided that were unavoidable.

An awful place. the smells, the lack of sights and space - it hurt a spot deep within her wild core, straining at her sanity.

She was going to die here.

Alone, far from starclan and her father.

A bird buried alive

nothing.

And suddenly, she opened her eyes to a paradise.

Wide grassy fields expanded from her feet like a sea of gold. Above her head, a canvass of the prettiest blue she'd ever seen, dotted only by clouds like grazing sheep - so fluffy she found herself wishing she could sleep on one.

Immedietely her fears were gone, her once dirtied, skinny frame replaced by her old lavish coat of soft lilac and fawn. She very nearly wept with joy as her anxiety and terror was swept away like the remnants of a dream.

Stepping through the grass, she marveled at the beautiful sights. Her paws carried her along, until at last she pushed through the golden fronds and came upon a curious sight : an unknown tom sitting, almost expectantly, in a clearing.

She tilted her head to the side, before her easy smile filled her maw. "Hello there" she purred merrily.

-----> Melody glanced up at the others whom arrived, pulling away from Lostpaw as Ice made her way over and took mel's place, assiting the apprentice. She scampered ahead, smiling warmly at Lostpaw as she waited for the molly at the den entrance.

MELODYKIT ;;

-----> Melodykit bounded into the forming crowd. Careful to weave her way through limbs and legs, the young female soon pushed through the frey to spot her dark tabby father's familiar form. Skipping over to him, the young girl of now six moons sat beside him. Eagerly, she glanced up at him, before looking towards Sorrelfire. She was so proud of her grandmother. She certainly deserved that spot up there near the stars.

Whisking her fluffy tail side to side, Mel considered the exitement of getting to become an apprentice under her grandmother. How cool was it, to be able to tell people her grandma was leader! She shivered with joy, wondering what it must be like to stand up there, all the power at your feet.

-----> She felt...on edge. Strangely so, because he looked kind. Shaking her head clear of her odd anxiety, she focused on his sharp eyes and powerful aura. She felt like she was standing before a leader of a clan! Sniffing the air, she wondered which clan he led - or perhaps this was a starclan dream? Maybe this was a former clan elader! Her eyes sparkled, wondering if he mightve even given Sorrel one of her lives!

When he spoke, she felt a shiver run down her spine. She was about to ask him how he knew her name, but then brushed the question aside. He probably had starclan wisdom! But at last she would tilt her head to the side, confused. "Train?" she would repeat, only to fall silent as his soft voice carred away her thoughtless wonder. She flattened her head, dropping her gaze immedietely to her paws.

She hated being described like that...

She needed to be strong, brave and smart...a true future leader, like her dad wanted...

Why was she struggling so hard with her selfimage? Her confidence?

She squeezed her eyes shut, shivering as she recalled the dark room, the awful smells.

Yeah...that's why...

She snapped her head up when he spoke of being her dad's brother. Then promptly thrust her ears forward when he mentioned slaying her dreamers. "You - you could really make me stronger? Against the nightmares? The...the twolegs?" she breathed, hopeful. She had been so convinced she'd never shake away this fear of hers....but maybe there was hope...?

-----> Trotting up merrily behind Cloverpaw, Melodykit giggled at the two clumsy apprentices. HEr eyes sparkled as, briefly, she wondered if this might be the start of a romance. Imagine that - they get together, have kits, and Mel would get to be the one to tell them how the very first time their parents met thay'd litterally tripped all over each other! She giggled again at the thought, wondering briefly if she'd ever get such a great romantic start.

Focusing back on the three 'paws, Mel commented, "Hi there! I don't remember seeing you around myself - I'm Melodykit, if you didn't already know." she nodded to the lizard in his jaws, asking, "are you bringing that to the Queens? I'm sure they'll greatly appreciate it!"
