 Juniperpaw sighed, staring at the deep, clear pool of water before her. The stillness of the pond amazed the she-cat. With a sigh, the she-cat tore her gaze from the undisturbed water, fittingly dubbed the 'Slumbering Lake'. Instead, she lifted her eyes to the clear, navy-blue sky. Tiny stars twinkled silently above her, and Juniperpaw couldn't help but relate them to the pool beside her. Much like the water, the sky was clear of anything that might obscure it, such as clouds, smoke, or the like.
She was out here for a reason she and her siblings shared; nightmares. The past few days had been extremely good with full nights of rest for the dusty-brown tabby, and Juniperpaw was starting to look less scraggly. But as soon as she had closed her eyes that night, the nightmares returned, even worse that time. Juniperpaw usually resorted to escaping into the calm of night within her camp. But today, she decided to progress even further; Juniperpaw ventured outside of camp. At first it seemed rather eerie, and Juniperpaw almost went back inside, but she quickly got used to the silence and started to embrace it. Juniperpaw remembered the Slumbering Lake that she had stumbled upon, and decided to go there, which led up to the current moment. As the heterochromatic she-cat let her gaze drift back to the water, she heard a faint rustle behind her. She tensed up, and Juniperpaw's head whipped around, peering through the ferns behind her. Luckily, before Juniperpaw got the chance to say anything stupid, the she-cat recognized the scent of the cat behind the ferns.
"Oh. Holly." Juniperpaw smiled faintly, letting out an inaudible sigh of relief upon recognizing him. "It's beautiful, isn't it?" Juniperpaw mewed after a moment of silence, her tail flicking towards the scene before the two siblings. NOTES ; I thought that I had no muse tonight, but apparently I was able to get a few paragraphs in xD but my post is still messy |

Hollypaw sighed, yawning and closed his eyes in an extended blink, a frown on his face. He had once again been awoken by the nightmares that occured every single night, and honestly, he was begninning to break a little. He couldn't do this much longer, he knew he couldn't. The nightmares, in fact, were what brought him out of camp in the first place. He knew that it was probably dangerous going out in the territory alone, especially considering all the possible areas there were for predators to hide... But still, the young tom was a brave one, and wasn't going to be phased by the thought of a fox. He could fight it off anyway, he was sure. As Holly was walking, he decided that he'd go towards the Slumbering Lake, rather than anywhere else. He felt that it was much safer there than the rest of the territory, especially the Temple- he wasn't going to risk getting lost, not this late anyway. Finally reaching the lake, the dark apprentice quickly stopped at a scent- who was that? They smelled familiar, definitely a clanmate anyway, but he couldn't quite pin who it was... Well, until they turned around and spotted him, speaking his name. Just from the voice, Hollypaw knew who he had stumbled upon, "Oh, hi, Juni," he purred softly, suppressing a yawn. "It is pretty nice...
But it'd be better if I could actually stay asleep- I swear the nightmares are getting worse and worse," he paused, "what are you doing out here, anyway?" He asked, moving to go and sit with his sister, tired legs aching just from the walk there. -Wow that was long- MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

"Same as you, I suppose," Juniperpaw mumbled half-heartedly. At the thought of it, the terrifying nightmares began to crowd her mind. She shook the thought away violently, forcefully pushing it out of her mind.
The she-cat nodded. "It's a shame, really; I've been doing well for the past few days, actually. No nightmares or anything," this brought a small smile to her face, but it quickly disappeared as she went on. "But tonight, they were just horrible. Definitely among my worst nights." Juniperpaw sighed, casting her gaze down to her paws.

Hollypaw focused his yellow eyes on Juniperpaw as she spoke, although he was struggling to keep them open at this point. "At least you got a few nights good sleep," he tried to focus on the positives, flopping onto his stomach on the floor, not bothered that it was slightly damp due to how close they were to the lake. "I'm honestly going to go to the medicine cat, see if I can get something... Whatever you want to do is your choice, but I can't deal with this anymore."Hollypaw closed his eyes for a while again, beginning to mumble, "you wanna talk about your night?"MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

Juniperpaw nodded. "You're right." she meowed.The she-cat gave a small mew of agreement at Hollypaw's next statement. "You know... if you don't mind, that is, I might tag along. I suppose it isn't very healthy, staying up like that." she meowed, letting herself drop onto the slick grass a bit closer to the water than Hollypaw. In the moments of silence that followed, Juniperpaw bordley unsheathed a claw and extended her arm over the edge of the water, stirring the clear water to see how far and how obvious the ripples were.
Juniperpaw flicked an ear dismissively when Holly asked about her night. "Not particularly." she meowed, turning her head to face Hollypaw. "How have you been doing?" NOTES ;NOTES GO HERE |

Hollypaw let out a soft purr when Juniperpaw joined him. He pressed his nose into the smaller cat's fur and smiled, inhaling her scent. It made him feel strangely calm and safe. The young cat opened his mouth wide and yawned, giving a small nod of agreement. Hollypaw shrugged slightly at Juniperpaw's question, sighing, "I've been... okay-ish, i guess," he mumbled, "but the nightmares are awful and they're every single night. I don't think I've slept more than two hours a time since kithood," he frowned. "I cant remember a night where I haven't woken up because of them... I'm kinda getting scared to fall asleep at this point."MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

Juniperpaw gulped. What if she got as bad as that? The thought scared her.
"You should definitely see the medicine cat. It's been, what, three moons already? And you've only gotten that much sleep?" The she-cat said softly, shaking her head. "That's horrible." NOTES ; knowing Juniper, she's probably gonna get so scared that the nightmares actually do become that bad lol |

-aw, poor babe. tbh, i'm actually considering getting holly addicted to poppyseeds or something.- Hollypaw nodded softly, his yellow-amber eyes still closed as he nuzzled further into Juniperpaws fur, "I'll go tomorrow, don't worry," he mumbled, yawning. "It's not the best thing for training though, but I've at least managed to get some so that I'm not too tired all day."MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

Juniperpaw nodded. "You'd better," she forced a laugh. The she-cat pulled her arm from over the water, tucking it beneath her chest. She slowly let her head rest on the damp grass. Juniperpaw watched the moon listlessly as it slowly drifted through the cool, dark night. After a few minutes of silence, the she-cat pulled herself closer to Hollypaw and rested her head next to her brother, forcing a faint purr that soon became a real one.
At Holly's next statement, Juniperpaw nodded. "My mentor dosen't really take me out much... I've just kinda been wandering out of camp during the day and practicing things I haven't even been taught on my own..." she mumbled, sighing. "I guess I probably need a new mentor." NOTES ; Oh, hope she gets off of it at some point lol. I was actually just reading how poppy seeds have rather... addictive properties, and these show when you eat too many of them. |

-he'll probably end up fine... but all this depends on is how active the mcs are- "I will," he mumbled softly, sighing and smiling at the sound of Juniperpaw's purr and curling up slightly for more warmth. Hollypaw shurgged softly, "can't you request a new one? Or just wait for them? They might be busy," the apprentice offered, yawning. "We could go out and learn some stuff by ourselves another day, if you'd like, that is," the dark cat offered, burying his pink nose into the wet grass. -short- MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |

Juniperpaw nodded. "Yeah, I probably should." she meowed. She listened intently as Hollypaw went on. "That sounds great!" she mewed. "But only after you get a bit more sleep." Juniperpaw added sternly. She probably sounded like a queen chiding her kits, but Juniperpaw decided that the welfare of her brother mattered more than her tone. NOTES; Sorry, sooo short! I'm typing this in a rush about ten minutes before I leave for a trip, and decided that I couldn't leave you hanging! |

Hollypaw smiled softly, although it quickly dropped back to a neutral, more tired expression as he began closing his eyes, "I'll try- no promises though," the young tom mumbled, cuddling in further to Juniperpaw with a quiet yawn. He let out a soft chuckle at the other cat's tone of voice. MADE BY ★MEULK OF GS |
