Note:
It's early in the morning and my friend hasn't picked me up yet, so hopefully I can write this before she comes!
And xxouchibitmytonguexxwas the first one to find the sentence, so they get a Shatteredsoul plushie! Hooray!
Dock opened his eyes, gasping for breath, another nightmare with his family members all dieing had appeared once again in his dreams. He looked around, and saw the young tortoiseshell she-cat that had been taking care of him for the last few sunrises.
When Dock had been bit by the fox protecting Sparrow, he had gotten a small and treatable infection. It had quickly given him a fever, and had gotten better as the days passed by. But the infection was still linquring in his leg. He'd be able to move it with time, but Sparrow, who's parents had luckily known some of the herbs around and passed it on to her, had told him that he needed to take it easy. It was like he had his own medicine cat with him.
He gave a small sigh as he thought of Leafpool in her den. Did she have an apprentice now? Or was she still waiting? What about the rest of the Clan? Was his father still deputy? He shook away the thoughts that infultrated his mind, and gave another sigh.
"What was that about?" he heard Sparrow's voice from the entrance. He looked to see the she-cat with two squirrels in her mouth, making her voice muffled.
"Nothing," he muttered.
"Then why were you sighing?" she asked smartly.
"Because I wanted to sigh. Have a problem with that?" he asked.
"No, but was there a reason you wanted to sigh?"
"Can you take a hint?"
"Never mind, here's your squirrel." she mewed, laying down the first one in front of him.
"Thank you," he meowed, and started to eat the furry creature. As the squirrel quickly started to disappear, he smiled as he thought of when he was an apprentice. After his... incident, when Leafpool had to bring him all of his prey and he stayed in the same den for a long time. He smiled at the memory of the tabby she-cat, and of all of the other warriors, apprentices, queens, everyone.
"Hey, Dock, since I'm taking care of you, I want to know where you come from." she mewed suddenly.
"What?!" Dock gasped, chocking on a chunk of squirrel.
"Well, I'll tell you where I come from if you tell me where you come from." she mewed. "I just want to know."
"You tell me where you come from first, alright?" he meowed, finally getting the squirrel chunk down.
"Okay, well, I come from a long way away. I was the only kit in my mother's litter, and when I was five moon cycles old they left me. Luckily they weren't so heartless, they gave me a little training. But for the longest time I was alone. I'd meet other loners and rouges from time to time, but I mostly kept to myself. I wandered a lot until I met you, but after a while I'll probably have to leave again. Now it's your turn." she explained.
"Well, I come from a large family, and I lived with a large group of cats, but I left." he mewed, not wanting to give out to much information about himself.
"Oh, wow, that's interesting." she mewed, she didn't seem to want to take his answer. "Is there anything else? Like, what was your family like? Where'd you learn to hunt and fight? Why'd you leave?"
"Well my family was nice. I was trained by some of the members in the group. And I left because I wanted to." the last was a lie. He didn't leave because he wanted to, he left because he had to.
"Alright," she sighed, with a yawn. "Well, that's nice at least, I guess. Anyways, let me take a look at your bite."
Dock held out his paw, not even flinching at the pain that seared through him when he moved it. He was to used to it. Sparrow sniffed it, and smiled. "It's definitely getting better. I'd give it another day or two." she mewed. "Just to make sure that nothing happens to it, like open up and you get another infection."
"Alright." Dock sighed, and drew his paw back in.
Yeah, I know, short chapter.
I couldn't really think of anything for this one.
And it's early in the morning.
But yeah...
Anyways, I'll most likely be updating again on Tuesday!
Until then,
