[when nightmares strike]

[remember my voice]

Glaicerfrost first saw the EclipseClan deputy as she padded in, his eyes narrowing down, trying to find any life-threatening injuries. He let out a slow breath, watching as he made her way over here and started speaking with his mate. His eyes became soft as he watched the deputy, his tail still wrapped protectivly around Solsticesong's waist. A small chuckle came from the black and white tom as he whispered in his mate's ear. "I told you, didn't I?" He asked before turning his head back to Amethyststar.

[for my voice]

[frightens those away]

[x.Jolly.x]

^{Mahoganyflight jumped when she heard Amethyststar's call again. She turned to the newly named Maplepaw.'Congratulations. Do you want the truth about our mother, or some fake reasoning for kits?'}[/color] She asked, feeling like she didn't want to lie to her foster brother any longer. 'Maplepaw, she might never wake up. It is a possibility. But, she might wake up. That's something to hope for.'[/color] As she spoke, the truth hit her. What is she never woke up?[/sup]

This nightmare (This nightmare) won't last long.

Are you scared? (Are you scared?) To sing this song.

I'm right there (I'm right there) by your side.

Tonight we've got a chance.

_{Solsticesong smiled at Fernpelt as the deputy entered the camp. The shaggy-haired she-cat chuckled as her mate spoke. "Yes, yes, I know," she said dryly, flicking her tail over that of her mate's. Her eyes faced towards Fernpelt. "Planning a dramatic entrance, were you? Get over here!" She laughed out loud and pressed her muzzle against Fernpelt's. "You bonehead! I thought you were having a party without me." She licked her friend's face in greeting, careful to mind Kinkajoukit who was nestled in her long fur. The white, gray, and black femme noted Fernpelt's tone of voice. "You okay...?" Her jovial voice quieted.}

[KURI. (happy birfday to me :D)]

Seeing Costanokit's fluffy little form, Cascadepaw skipped over to him. She had always spent so much time with her siblings, she felt good that she had a friend like Costanokit. Bouncing around him, she ignored a small bout of homesickness when she thought of the nursery. She was an apprentice! She was an apprentice! And soon her friend would be too! Soon her friend would be too! The thoughts were so exciting and so happy that she echoed them in her head. "Hi, Costanokit! It's too bad you're not an apprentice, too. I'll have to train with grumpy Yarrowpaw!" Giggling, she batted at him with claws sheathed. "But once you're an apprentice, we've gotta train together every day! Waitwaitwait... We'll train together as much as we can because maybe our mentors don't like eachother or maybe one day we can't but we will train together, okay?" The skinny she-cat smiled in her usual friendly way, eyes glowing. Some cats called her annoying - like Yarrowpaw -, some cats didn't bother listening - like Rainbowpaw - but cats like Costanokit always, always listened and didn't mind how much she talked. Cascadepaw liked that.

For some, odd reason which was far ahead of his simple, early apprenticeship mind he suddenly waited the fake kit tales, where everything was happy and ended just the way you expected it to - or wanted it to, depending if you were an un-optimistic tom like Maplepaw. He crouched suddenly, thin body sinking to the floor with his dark silver ears pressing against his tabby head, deep green eyes shut against the world as he wanted to yell out to Cascadepaw helplessly, so she could rant on about how everything would end happily ever after like the tales elders told. Happily ever after sounded good right -- 'She may never wake up' was all that he heard from Mahoganyflight's mouth, and he disregarded the latter simply because he didn't hear. A sad spasm ran through his body leaving several shivers to run up his spine, his paw raising to wipe the tear off of his face.

Meanwhile he faced away from his siblings, afraid to show his mentor already weakness, so he attempted his best brave look and peered back up to Mavericksky. "When are we going to start? he was nearly afraid to ask now, so his voice shook as he tried his best to steady it.

[/blockquote]

[SHADE. :D]

// Yeah, that's fine, Aurrie and Corb. Puzzlepaw can be Phantomlight's apprentice. And guys, I think Cascadepaw and Costanokit are related... Razortomb is the son of Amethyststar, who is Pantherstealth's sister... So they are. =/

Beacansong sprang up from where he had sat amongst the other cats. His yellow eyes were fixed on the sleek tortoiseshell and white coat of Fernpelt. His eyes widened with shock as he noticed the slashes tracing her beautiful body. The young tom hurried to her side as she padded towards Solsticesong. Beacansong nosed Fernpelt's cheek worriedly, eyes bright and anxious. "Are you alright?" he mewed, fretting. "I knew I should have gone with you!" The warrior licked her nose gently, ears pinned back and paws kneading the ground.

[fernie. (:]

[[Awhh nooooo! No hyper kittie lurve =[ Bummed!]]

Fernpelt smiled at her friend, it was hard to be anything but happy around the strong she-cat. Then she turned to Beacansong, her stomach flipping. 'Beacansong, I'm fine! Well, I'm not injured. But I suppsoe that counts as fine. Anyway. I need to tell you both something.' she said, babbling on. She beckoned them both closer to her and whispered three words. 'I'm expecting kits.'

Costanokit beamed at Cascadepaw, his ears flicking back and forward excitedly. 'Suure! That sounds like uber fun! I mean we can hang out and all but training'll be so much funner and then we'll become big bad warriors and be able to fight all the big bad Tribe cats!' he said, bobbing a little on the spot as he talked.

_{"YOU'RE WHAT?!" Solsticesong about damn near lost it. Her shaggy paw lifted to snap across Fernpelt's cheek in her mixed emotional cesspool of anger, surprise, anguish, and a whole bunch of other things but she stopped herself. Her amber eyes swiveled from Fernpelt to Beaconsong to Fernpelt again. She calmed down almost instantly, saving face in front of the others as she suddenly burst into laughter. "Okay okay. Please tell me that you did not go into battle knowing that you were pregnant." She wanted to grumble at Beacansong for his part in this fiasco.}

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt jumped to her paws and cringed as Solsticesong shouted. 'What do you think, I wouldn't have told you before the battle? Of course I didn't know! I'm a deputy! What's the Clan gonna think?' she asked, her paws kneading the ground as she looked from Beacansong to Solsticesong and back again. 'Look, I only found out when Cloudedsky told me while checking me over, back in BrightClan camp.'

His ears flicked up as he watched Fernpelt and Solsticesong greet each other. He couldn't let a small smile out as he watched the two she-cats. The smile disappeared though when the three cats came closer togeather. Glacierfrost's eyes seemed to widen as he heard his mate's reaction to what ever the deputy had said. He cocked his head, curious, but he had learned for experience to not interfere when it camed to Solsticesong and her friend.

Silentsong

I'm falling in ^love
You tempting dove
I'm needing your _heart
I'm falling ^ap_ar^t[/center]

His heart leapt as Rosemarypool came racing towards him. Was she still mad? Or had she forgiven him? Her response was not what he expected. She was sorry? He thought that he'd made the sin in this situation. Apparently not. Nonetheless, he wouldn't let her get away without a reply. The tom smiled in forgiveness and apology, resting the tip of his tail upon her shoulder. "My dear friend...I apologize as well." It had been settled. They were happy with each other once more. Looking into her eyes, he felt his stomach flutter. Silentsong's hazel optics dropped their gaze quickly. Would he ever gain the strength to tell her? He knew that this wasn't the right time in their relationship, that he had to wait a little longer. But how long would it take for him to find the right words at the instant the perfect moment arrived?

Suddenly, he realized his name being called. The leader's voice seemed distant in his mind, but he knew it was there. It took a moment to process the words and find what they meant, but Silentsong got the gist all right. I'm a mentor! He touched noses with the young Cascadepaw. "I promise to teach you every scrap of being a warrior that I know," he mewed, true determination in his eyes. The tom then turned to Rosemarypool. "Congratulations!" Life just got better and better.

[ooc]:// Sorry about this post being so late. xx;

edited sorreh, I had forgotten to put the whole having an apprentice jazz in there. ^^;[/size][/blockquote]

[FIREH!!]

<sub>A rather small kit raced over, tripping over his large paws. He hissed at himself for being so clumsy, and stood up quickly. He padded over to Cascadepaw and Costanokit. Hey guys. He meowed, rather grumpily.

Firepaw raced over to Rosemarypool, touching noses with her. We're gonna be the bestest pair of mentor and apprentice - Ever! She mewed enthusiastically. She leaped in the air and spun around, before chasing her tail. She fell to the ground in a great oomph before leaping up and shaking the dust off.

Razortomb touched noses with Rainbowpaw, blinking gently at the she-cat. He turned to Rosemarypool and grinned. Congratulations! He purred to his former apprentice. If you need any help, feel free to ask. He told her, before turning back to Rainbowpaw. Let's find you a spot in the apprentices' den, then tomorrow we can start training. He told her, before setting off to the apprentices' den.</sub>

^{Honeypaw listened to everyone of the apprentice's that bacame warriors. He knew well that even though he could be made a Warrior he wouldn't be. The light brown tom had gotten into wy to much trouble, and he was now sorry. He watched as Rippedear padded over to her pld apprentice. He looked at his paws, wishing he hadn't gotten into so much trouble. Maybe, if I stay out of trouble next time I will be made a warrior. Honeypaw turned off all of his emotions, after moons of practice he had finally taught himself how to shut himself out of the outside world. As he retreated into his mind his fathers voice took over it. Honeypaw, why? Why couldn't you at least try to become something? His fathers voice haunted him since he was a kit. Honeypaw waited for another moment seeing if Amethyststar would take pitty and make him a warrior.}

[SHADE. :D]

// Amethyststar's leaving the camp now.

Amethyststar caught sight of Honeypaw, looking thunderous. She twitched her tail, toying with making him a warrior. It might make the grumpy apprentice's day. The black she-cat called again for silence, before raising her head again. "I, Amethyststar, leader of EclipseClan, call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice," she meowed clearly, flicking her ears in Honeypaw's direction. "He has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code and I commend him to you as a warrior of EclipseClan. Honeypaw, from this moment onwards you shall be known as Honeyblood. The clan honours your determination and strength and we welcome you as a full warrior of EclipseClan." Amethyststar leapt down onto the grass to lick Honeyblood's shoulder, her amber eyes expressionless. The she-cat caught a flash of smoky black fur, and her own coat sprang up. Corbynfeather! She was sick of her son doing anything he wanted. He had been perfectly fit and healthy; she knew he had not refused to attend the battle because he wanted to guard the camp; no. Amethyststar flicked her tail at Fernpelt, placing her in charge, before stalking from the camp, amber eyes hot with enraged fire.

Beacansong's mouth fell open at his mate's news. He was going to be a father! Him, Beacansong! Then his face fell. He knew that his kits, if they looked like him, were bound to recieve the same torcherous teasing that he had been subjected to in his younger moons. He prayed that they would have Fernpelt's attitude rather than his. "That's great!" he burst out. The skinny warrior frowned at Solsticesong's words - yes, had the tortoiseshell gone into battle knowing she was carrying kits? Surely she wouldn't...? Beacansong breathed out in relief. Of course she hadn't - he had been stupid to even think it. "We're going to be parents," he mewed happily, nosing Fernpelt's cheek.

Rosemarypool shot Silentsong a fleeting smile as the two stared down at their apprentices. The sleek dark brown tabby she-cat's green eyes flashed with amusement at Firepaw's words. "I'm sure she will be," the she-cat mewed. Rosemarypool twitched her ears in thanks to Razortomb, smiling at her former mentor. She knew Rainbowpaw had a great mentor. Rosemarypool turned back to Silentsong, her eyes suddenly flaring with excitement. "Hey, Silentsong, why don't we take Firepaw and Cascadepaw hunting?" she mewed, eyes bright. The clan needed fresh-kill, and what could be better than hunting with her best friend and her apprentice?

[KURI. (happy birfday to me :D)]

__ -twitch- I... I didn't know that. o____O

[all out JINX ♥]

//question..... is Phantomlight going to be the new deputy of Eclipseclan

[SHADE. :D]

// I think so... You'll have to ask Fernie. xD

[fernie. (:]

Fernpelt nodded at Amethyststar as she left camp, then turned her attention back to Becansong and Solsticesong. 'I know. It's going to be great.' she said, half convincing herself at the same time. She had a niggling worry inside her about what the Clan would think of her having kits in her position. She quickly banished the feelings though, knowing she was thinking about things too much.

Costanokit smiled at Cobaltkit as he came over to him and Cascadepaw. 'Hi Cobaltkit! Whatcha doin'?' he asked.

[[I'm guessing that it was Cobaltkit btw, Fireh you didn't actually put who it was in your post xD]]

^{Honeyblood walked over to Rippedear after he got his warrior name. 'Hey did you hear? I got my warrior name.'} [/color]The light brown tom looked up at his friend. He sat down next to the she-cat and wrapped his tail around his paws. His green eyes looked around at every cat in the clearing. Wishing that his father was here to see him now. Honeyblood watched all the cats talking. He listened incase Rippedear replied and thought he wasn't paying attention. He finally looked back up Rippedear after a while.'I get to slep in the same den as so many other cats...' [/color]Honeyblood said mostly to himself.[/sup]
