Sorry about chapter 1, it says Prologue, I messed up!

Disclaimer: I do not own warriors, Erin Hunter does! But if I did, Brackenfur would be leader after Firestar!

Nightmare: Chapter 2: Worry

Falconheart turned her head to see Nettlefur appear through the gorse tunnel. She looked so weak!

"Nettlefur! What in StarClan's name are you doing?" she exclaimed.

"What does it look like?" she snapped. "I'm walking." Nettlefur had always had a sharp tongue but she was gentle and served her clan well. She was never clumsy or careless.

"Then what's wrong?'

"It's nothing; I just have a minor cough. It kept me up all night, so I'm very tired. But I have things to do and I have to keep moving. I am very behind."

"I don't know, you look very sick. Maybe we should tell Brackenstar…"

"No! I said I was fine, didn't I?" But when she saw her friends hurt expression she said, 'I'll go take some herbs that will make me feel better, and some poppyseeds to help ease the pain in my back, from coughing."

"Okay." Falconheart looked doubtful and had begun to back away when she remembered. "Hey, Nettlefur, wait! Why were you limping?"

"I've been coughing a lot so my backs really sore, remember?! Now I'm going to get some herbs and take care of business!" she said, getting highly irritated, it was none of Falconheart's business anyways! Nettlefur whipped around and stalked off into her den. But Falconheart was persistent and ran over to her once more. "What do you want now?!"

"I'm sorry for bugging you so much. I'm just worried about you, that's all, you're my best friend." she said with an innocent look.

Nettlefur's irritation faded, Falconheart didn't know, it wasn't her fault. Nettlefur gently rubbed her tongue over Falconheart's head. "I know, but I'm honestly okay. Herbs will help, and I'll be fine by tomorrow. I promise."

The two best friends looked each other in the eyes. Nettlefur was hiding something, but Falconheart didn't question her.

Falconheart looked up at the highrock and said, "Okay, I believe you. It's time I organized patrols for today," she said. They both had one last glimpse of each other and walked away, neither one in a hurry to carry out their duties.
