Silverpelt glowed above her, seemingly brighter than normal with the moon not in the sky. Ferns brushed her pelt, dirt between her paws instead of sand. Finchpaw always loved the forest more than the beach. While beautiful, the beach and the ocean were the only things she saw. The forest held far more interesting smells and sights. She could see Silverpelt from here instead of the cavern that was DriftClan's camp. One ear twitched, listening. There were many new sounds, ones that weren't common closer to camp and the beach. Lifting her muzzle, the young cat tasted the air.
Sea breeze.
She tilted her head, looking over her shoulder. Strange. The beach would be behind her. Why was the scent in front of her? When Finchpaw turned her attention back around, her hackles rose. A she-cat stood a fox-length away, looking at her with sad eyes. She smelled of sea breeze and warm milk.
"Runningbreeze?" Finchpaw was surprised she said her mother's name as easy as she did. Runningbreeze died very suddenly when she was only four moons old, leaving her alone in the nursye until she was of age. This was her first night in the apprentice den.
The she-cat merely dipped her head, looking deeper into the forest before turning and padding away in that direction, all without a single word. Finchpaw started bounding after her, sticks and bushes catching in her fur.
"Wait! Come back!" She meowed, now running blindly as Runningbreeze had long since disappeared....
Finchpaw woke up with a start, claws digging into the soft stone of their cavern. Glancing around, she began to force her breathing into something softer, fearful she would wake up Hazelpaw and Haypaw. She didn't need them disliking her already more than they probably did. In their eyes, she was a kit, not an apprentice yet. Finchpaw swallowed, letting out a soft sigh as she pushed herself to her paws, padding out of the small apprentice cavern.
It was early sunhigh, the light barely reaching inside the cave. Very few cats were stirring awake and she sat outside the den, giving her chest a couple licks to smooth her coat down. She hadn't had a dream like that in some moons, not since she had stopped speaking about them. At least this time, it was more personal. Easier to ignore.
You miss her. There is no shame in that. Nothing more than missing her.
Where had Runningbreeze been trying to go? Not many DriftClan cats ventured deep into the forest. Not many wanted to. Why would they? There was plenty of prey here, in the water. They were safer and the forest provided the herbs. Finchpaw didn't quite understand it. She wanted to go into the forest, to explore further. Perhaps she could join Milkbee out the next time she collects herbs.
Speaking of, the young cat could hear harsh coughing in the medicine den. Her tail curled around her paws, ears pinning close to her head. Nighthawk didn't sound any better. She glanced towards the fresh-kill pile. Nothing fresh; wouldn't do Nighthawk any good. Perhaps if they went on a hunting patrol, she could bring him and Milkbee something good. Her claws unsheathed at the thought of her first hunt. Would she be able to catch anything on her first try? What if she didn't?
The coughing only continued and Finchpaw winced, muttering a few prayers to StarClan.
