Runnningpaw sighedBasically every time she leaves camp she gets into mischief but this time I don't think that was what she was planning.Right now I'm just worried about her.Don't worry about the others they can eat wet fresh kill if they want.She laughed but then frowned.She whispered to Chaser.I think something is wrong with her.I could feel that something was itching her.

[Tara]

Lost in his own thoughts, Dreamchaser listened lightly to what Runningpaw was saying.
That Arrowpaw reminded him of himself, when he was being spoken to by trees...
" Yes, she did look like something was bothering her, didn't she?" He trailed off, licking his teeth thoughtfully.
" Well," He sighed, " I'm sure whatever it is it will fade away..."
A bird flew over his ears and dropped a feather right on his head. He snuffed it off, blowing it right onto Runningpaw, playfully.

[windrunner]

[red]She laughed as the feather hit her.I hope it'll fade.[/red][blue]Arrowpaw had her tail dangling from the tree.She sighed and got up.She walked toward the Thunderclan border where it meets shadowclan.When she got there she sat down.Why doI have to be stupid.I hate this I'm always lying to her and it hurts me.[/blue]

[♥Shimmer]

A leaf blew down onto her pink nose. Shimmerpaw swatted at it lightly, but there still wasn't much enthusiasm. She looked to the trees and watched their branches sway gently in the breeze. There was a sparkling puddle, shimmering in the small patch of sunshine. Her tiny tongue lapped up the water, leaving her thirst quenched. It wasn't until then that she spotted another apprentice. "Hello.." She mewed shyly.

[windrunner]

[blue]Arrowpaw looked up and saw Shimmperpaw.Hi Shimmerpaw. She said softly.Whats up with you today.She flicked her tail in the water and let it drop on her face.[/blue]
[red]Runningpaw flicked her tail sadly.[/red]

[**Liz**]

The burnt sugar tom looked down at the apprentice.
" Aw, Runningpaw, try not to look so sad." He flicked her ear with the tip of his tail. " We can...go hunting or something. How's that?"

He was going to go out anyways, and without waiting for the young apprentice to follow, he turned to the camp entrance.
Time to fill my fresh kill cottage with some fresh kill, he thought happily, his tail swishing with glee.

[windrunner]

Runningpaw got up and folowed Dreamchaser.Sure I'll hunt and catch more than you.She saw a squirrel and slowly walked toward it when she was close enough she pounced and caught it.She caught two more and stopped for a break.[/b]

[♥Shimmer]

Shimmerpaw looked closely at Arrowpaw. "Nothing I guess. I didn't get much sleep last night. Nightmares again." She paused for a moment, then added, "Is everything.. alright with you? It could just be me.. but you don't seem happy." Looking down at her ruffled chest, she realized she hadn't groomed her fur in a long while. Giving her chest a few quick licks, she then glanced up quickly to see what Arrowpaw's responce was.

[windrunner]

You're right I'm not happy but it's nothing important.It's my problem no one elses.She flicked her tail and it hit herslef acccidentally.Dang it. One problem is that I keep lying to my sister and it hurts me and sometimes her.I don't feel like myself anymore.

[♥Shimmer]

Her kind hazy blue eyes lay kindly on Arrowpaw. "You can let people help you, you know," She paused for a brief second, "You never have to face anything alone. I know what it's like." Taking another moment, Shimmerpaw then answer, "And if you hate lying to your sister.. then don't do it. I know there are things about this that I'll never understand, but all I guess I can say is tell Runningpaw. She deserves to know the truth. Then maybe you'll feel like yourself again." Shimmerpaw knew she probably didn't help much, but that was the only words that she could use to express her opinion.

[windrunner]

[blue]I don't think I'll ever feel how I used to when I was a kit.Things changed since then and that amde me change too.She flicked her tail.[/blue][red]Runningpaw heard her sisters and Shimmerpaws word.Shes been lying to me.wowRunningpaw walked overi forgive you arropaw.[/red][blue]Arrowpaw looked up shocked.Of course you do now go away we're talking.[/blue][red]Okay then bye.[/red]

[♥Shimmer]

Amused by the sisters' exchange of words, Shimmerpaw smiled slightly. Suddenly serious, she then spoke, "I know how it feels. Really I do. When I was very young I was always happy. But then.. when my family.. went away, it hurt, it hurt a lot. However, I found the strength to go back to the way it was before. Still wary, but trust me, if you believe you can make it better. You can." It stung Shimmerpaw to talk about her family, but she'd do whatever it took to make someone happy. "I know I probably don't help much.. But I'll give anything I can to make you happier."

[windrunner]

I don't know I've just changed so muchShe growled softlyI hate it.When i was a kit wasn't so violent and stuff I was nice kind.But that changed when our parents died.She felt tears come.i miss them so much and I think thats what changed me.

[♥Shimmer]

Her rough pink tongue licked the top of Arrowpaw's head. "You think that they'd want you to be unhappy? That's what happened with me. My parents died, and I starved myself. Then I realized I had to be happy, for myself and them. They wouldn't want you to be this way." Taking a breath, she then mewed quietly, "My mother said not to forget her, but not to revolve my whole life around her either. So live your life as carefree as you can I guess, and do great things in memory of them. Then maybe you'll feel as if they were right there with you the whole time. But I don't know.." She glanced up at the sky, wondering when it would rain again. Shimmerpaw loved the rain, sometimes she felt as if she should be a RiverClan cat, because she loved water so much.

[windrunner]

[blue]I know they'd want me to be happy but it's just so hard.I was so close to them.[/b]She looked up at the sky.I hope they're watching me proudly.She sighed.meybe I could star with not being so rude and snappy.But the problem is I don't have any friends it's terrible and lonesome.[/blue][red]Runningpaw walked back to Dreamchaser and picked up her freshkill. Shall we go use our new storage system Dreamchaser.She mewed excitedly.[/red]
