We Shouldn't Be Together (Warriors)

[Jay Windse]

"They're just normal nightmares. But every time I sleep.


I get nervous when I'm alone. I usually just stalk the guards when I'm out at night. Sometimes I hallucinate. But that's because I haven't slept." Swirledwhisper looked away, ashamed. "I'm constantly scared by something. I'm really nervous about everything. And I can't be alone, except when none of this is as bad."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Wildpelt sighed and he said, "From now on you're sleeping in my den. I'm going to try and help you." He said simply, actually slightly annoyed that she hadn't told him yet.

Swirledwhisper flattened her ears further and curled her tail around her paws tighter.


"Maybe.. Maybe I shouldn't be deputy anymore...." She stammered quietly. Saying so was hard for her, as her dream had always been to be deputy. But she wasn't so sure anymore, because either her duties were done late or by someone else.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

He shook his head, "No, I'm not letting that happen. Starclan must be trying to tell us something." He walked over and laid his tail on her shoulder, "Listen to me, you won't stop be deputy, I swear."

 

[Jay Windse]

"Why me? If it was StarClan, then why not you? And I'm sorry, but this makes no sense for any kind of interpretation. This is preventing me from doing my duties. I swore that I would do at least them when I became deputy. And I can't do them efficiently anymore." Swirledwhisper looked straight into Wildpelt's eyes, her amber gaze holding tears that she tried in vain to hold back.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Wildpelt looked into her eyes and he said with a bluntly determined force, "no. You will not step down from deputy until I say you can." He stood up firm, "you understand? I'm giving you an order."

Swirledwhisper took a slight step back, and she nodded with a sigh and a glance away. "Fine."

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Wildpelt took a breath and he walked over cautiously, "I digress, I just... can't stand to see a cat in pain like that. I made a decision like that a long time ago. One I regret. And I'm going to help you get through this." He ran his tail down her back approvingly.

Swirledwhisper blinked slightly. "What decision?" She asked, her tail gently brushing against Wildpelt's.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"To be a medicine cat or take a mate." He said, simply, "I'm not sure to this day if I choose right."

"Why not?" She asked softly, tilting her head.

"I'll tell you when we get back to camp." He suddenly softened and looked concerned, "are you okay? Do you need water?"

"I'm fine." Swirledwhisper said, though through the corner of her eye the shadows seemed to move. Her Amber gaze flashed over with fear.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"Hmm...Well let's get back to camp then." He laid his tail on her shoulder and guided her towards the camp. He seemed comforting. Almost omnipotent.

Swirledwhisper nodded and stood up, walking with him to the camp.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Wildpelt guided her to the medicine cat den and placed her by his pool, making her a bed of moss, "lay down."

Swirledwhisper sat reluctantly with a sigh.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Wildpelt started grinding up so herbs, "so. Tell me what's going on."

"I told you already." Swirledwhisper said, and flicked her tail.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"Tell me again." He said simply, "I need you to. For me."

She looked away, and kept silent. She really didn't want to.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

Wildpelt walked over and he sat by her, "remember that decision I said I made a long time ago?"

"Yeah." She murmured, with a nod, glancing over at Wildpelt.

 

[BeyondOblivion]

"Well...her name was Ivyfrost. Ivyfrost was before you and I were born, and she was a warrior when I was an apprentice. The two of us fell in love when we were assigned a few patrols together.


"Around that time...I got scared to kill. I stopped hurting cats. I hung around Tanglefur, the previous medicine cat. I learned herbs. I began neglecting my Warrior duties out of fear.


"Ivyfrost eventually felt as though we'd been distanced too greatly to love anymore. She gave me an ultimatum: either be a warrior and love her, or be a medicine cat and she'd take my brother as a mate.


"That night, I had a dream from Starclan. They said to do what my heart said. When I woke up, I told her I was going to be a medicine cat.


"That day, Ivyfrost encountered a Fox on patrol and was killed from blood loss before we got to her. If I was there...I might have been able to save her."


Wildpelt moved closer to her, "I'll wait Sith you. I'm here."

Swirledwhisper looked at him and her Amber eyes flashed down. "I-I'm sorry." She stammered, and rested a tiny paw on Wildpelt's. She kept silent after though.
