CHAPTER 5

A yowl echoing through the apprentices den woke Lionpaw from a deep slumber.

Instantly her golden eyes flashed open, claws unsheathed in case the clan was being attacked. But once Lionpaw became aware of where the yowl was coming from, instantly she sheathed her claws.

"No Jaggedfang!" a terrified shriek sounded from her sister Saffronpaw, clawing up the moss in her bed.

"Shh, Shh" Lionpaw tried to calm her sister, hoping no one else would wake up. But already Vinepaw and Ravenpaw poked their heads up, looking in Saffronpaw's direction.

Rousing her sister from sleep, Lionpaw quickly ushered her out of the den. Helping her terrified sister into the back forest, Lionpaw paused as they came to a small boulder.

"Are you alright?" she asked her sister quietly, "Did you have a nightmare?".

Saffronpaw was shuddering from head to paw, her eyes flickering with a fear. A fear Lionpaw had only seen when she saved Saffronpaw from Jaggedfang, but could this be something worse?

"Jaggedfang's coming for me" she muttered softly, yet fearfully. "He's going to kill me!".

Instantly Lionpaw perked her ears in surprise, had Saffronpaw forgotten that Jaggedfang was killed? Had she forgotten that they killed him?

"Jaggedfang is dead Saffronpaw, don't you remember?" Lionpaw almost didn't want to know the answer, if her sister answered no, then that meant something much worse was wrong with her. Something a little rest couldn't heal.

"Of course I remember!" Saffronpaw snapped, her attitude changing from fearful to angered in a split second. "I know he's dead" Saffronpaw spat, "But he's coming for me Lionpaw, Jaggedfang is going to kill me!".

Lionpaw only shook her head solemnly as her sister repeated the same words over and over again, her sister was in shock.

But I can't ask Goosetail for herbs, then he'd ask what was wrong and I'd have to make up another excuse as to why Saffronpaw is acting so weird!

It was already bad enough that the other apprentices saw her acting this way, after all they did hear her calling Jaggedfang's name out loud. But perhaps Lionpaw could convince them she just had a nightmare about Jaggedfang missing, after all he was her mentor, that could be believable.

"Come on, lets get you back into the den" Lionpaw beckoned her ginger sister forward.

Coldly, Saffronpaw padded into the apprentices den, her dark yellow eyes coated with fear and a dismal look Lionpaw couldn't quite pinpoint.

"Is she okay?" Lionpaw jumped as she saw Vinepaw looking at her, bright green eyes full of concern.

Immediately the golden apprentice choked on her words, trying to find the explanation she thought up earlier.

"Yes...Fine" she finally spat out, "She just had a nightmare about Jaggedfang, he is her mentor after all."

Eyeing Vinepaw for a moment, the apprentice wondered if she was going to take the explanation as legit or fake.

"Oh I'm sorry" Vinepaw finally meowed, getting up and giving Saffronpaw a lick on the ear, "I didn't realize you would miss him so much. I don't know what I'd do if Starlingfur went missing..." she trailed off as if imagining what would happen.

For a moment Lionpaw stood awkwardly as Saffronpaw curled up into her nest, until finally Vinepaw said goodnight and went to sleep.

Well that was close, Lionpaw breathed a sigh of relief. If Saffronpaw had said anything else in her dream, then Lionpaw would really have some explaining to do.

Checking that the other apprentices were all asleep, Lionpaw padded towards her sister, and plopped gently into her moss nest. Saffronpaw was already asleep, but her tail was twitching as if she was having another nightmare.

StarClan please watch over her, Lionpaw rose her gaze to the twig covered roof where the stars faintly shone through.

Saffronpaw needed the protection of her family and her ancestors if she was going to get through this trauma, she needed to forget all about Jaggedfang, he was dead and was never going to hurt her again.

But Saffronpaw doesn't seem to think so, she thinks he's going to kill her. And if another night like this happened, Lionpaw was going to run out of explanations to tell everyone.

How much longer could they keep this dark, bloody secret?
