*snore* *gets proded in the side* Ow! *glares at offscreen person* Hello, I'm back with the 2nd chapter of my Warriors story. I take no claim on the warrior cats, for they are owned by Erin Hunter. I only own cats I own, such as Dapplepaw.

Chapter 2

Emberpaw stirred uncomfortably and slowly opened his eyes. He couldn't remember anything except his heart pounding and pain in his head. He looked around, trying to figure out where he was, when he realize his vision was blurry.

"Emberpaw! You're awake!" He heard Blossompaw exclaim.

Emberpaw felt horrible. He couldn't think straight, his head hurt, he couldn't see right, and he was having trouble making out what Blossompaw was going on about, "Blossompaw, I can barely understand you..."

"Really? I don't see why. I'm talking perfectly clear," Blossompaw said, shocked.

"What?" Emberpaw stammered.

"Emberpaw, I'm going to get Jayfeather...," Blossompaw said, clearly worried about her clanmate.

"Um...ok," Emberpaw said, sitting up, only to have himself lay back down due to dizzyness. What was wrong with him? And what had happened to him?

Soon he heard Jayfeather and Blossompaw walk back in. He couldn't make out what they were saying, but Jayfeather sounded annoyed.

"Jayfeather?" Emberpaw asked, confused.

"Blossompaw is saying you're having problems, are you ok?" Jayfeather said.

"What?" Emberpaw said blinking, confused.

"What? Are you going deaf now!?" Jayfeather said, getting more annoyed.

"N-no. I can hear you just fine...I just am having problems telling what your saying...," Emberpaw said, still confused.

He heard Jayfeather sigh and walk over, "Tell me exactly what's going on."

"I can't register what words mean like before. My vision is all blurry. I can't think straight. My head hurts," Emberpaw said.

Jayfeather sat there, thinking for a little while. It was a while before he finally spoke, "I think you suffered brain damage from the blow."

Emberpaw felt anger begin to burn within him, "I think if you had told me what went on, I could have told you that!"

Dapplepaw walked in, Emberpaw had always found her hyper-active and cheery, but lately she's been more depressed than him, "Emberpaw, Jayfeather, you two make such a loud pair with your short tempers."

Jayfeather sighed, "Yeah, whatever. Listen, Emberpaw, you'll be ok. I'll help you get back to your normal state...or as close to it as I can."

"C-can we keep this secret? I don't feel like feeling helpless," Emberpaw said, looking up at Jayfeather, Blossompaw, and Dapplepaw with pleading eyes.

Even though Jayfeather couldn't see Emberpaw's eyes, he could feel how desperate Emberpaw felt. He understood exactly what Emberpaw wanted to avoid, "Ok. Though, eventually, you're going to have to tell someone. Come with me to the medicine den, and I'll start trying to help you straighten out your mind..."

Dapplepaw watched Jayfeather and Emberpaw walk out. She went out and sat outside the apprentice den, just to think. Her sister, Flamepaw, walked up.

"Dapplepaw...are you ok? You've been oddly depressed lately," She mewed, laying her tail gently across Dapplepaw's shoulders.

"I'm fine, I don't want to talk about it," Dapplepaw hissed, walking away from Flamepaw.

Dapplepaw would have much rather been alone, but her mentor called her name, "Dapplepaw, get over here."

"Fox-dung! What does he want now?" Dapplepaw hissed under her breath and turned around and walked over to Dustpelt, "What!?"

Dustpelt narrowed his eyes, "That's no way to talk to a senior warrior, much less your mentor!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know. I've messed up again," Dapplepaw hissed.

"Oh, look, you've finally learned SOMETHING," Dustpelt hissed back.

"I've learned other things!" Dapplepaw hissed louder, obviously offended.

"Like what!?" Dustpelt hissed right back louder. They were starting to attract attention from their clanmates.

"Like WHAT!? Oh, I don't know! Maybe it's the fact no matter how hard I try, you're never satisfied!" Dapplepaw hissed back even louder. She wasn't going to accept any more criticism.

"You spend your time tackling people from the trees, you constantly ignore my remarks, you never listen to me, you do the opposite of what I say! When I say go left, you go right, when I say get down, you go higher! You're a horrible apprentice!" Dustpelt hissed.

"THANK YOU. LIKE I HAVEN'T ALREADY FOUND OUT YOU HATE ME!" Dapplepaw hissed right in Dustpelt's face.

Firestar had heard their screaming at each other and came out of his den, watching with his eyes narrowed, "Dapplepaw, Dustpelt, ENOUGH! I've never heard an apprentice and mentor argue as much as you two do! You two need to settle your differences and GET ALONG." It was clear Firestar was fed up.

Dapplepaw lost rational thoughts and turned on Firestar and yelled at the top of her lungs, "LISTEN, FUR-BALL, I DON'T NEED SOMEONE ELSE YELLING AT ME ALL THE TIME! WHY CAN'T ANYONE JUST BE PROUD OF ME FOR ONCE!? FOR WHAT I HAVE DONE!"

Dapplepaw ran out of the hollow in anger.

Flamepaw snorted and said, loud enough for everyone to hear, "This is such a drama clan."

Firestar sighed, glancing at Lilyheart, who was in shock, "Lilyheart, please go retrieve your kit and bring her back here."

Lilyheart nodded and ran off with Darksight running next to her.

Well, the concludes chapter 2. I hope you guys enjoyed. Remember to review!
