Dovesight

The night of her vigil. Dovesight had forgotten about this tradition, and she wished she could just duck into the warrior's den and hide away. The shadows moved around her, the occasional snicker as they made her jump. She kept expecting one of them to come out at her, to just leap claws first right into her face. She couldn't even tell any cat how scared she was. She wasn't supposed to speak, so she couldn't call for help. This was her torment, it seemed.

Her eyes moved to the sky, looking for some comfort. But it was just as black as the creatures weaving around her. She didn't know what she was expecting, honestly. It wasn't like the stars were going to miraculously come back on her vigil, when they hadn't been there since she was a kit. She wished she could just hide away into her own world, like she used to do. But she had not been there for quite some time. She hasn't felt safe enough to let herself make that journey. If she had, she would be there right now, lying in the fields and looking up at the stars, trying to guess which one was her mother. The sound of the river quietly flowing in the distance, the gentle breeze that graced her pelt. What she wouldn't give to be there right now. To be in the peaceful compartments of her own fantasy.

But that was merely a dream. And this was her nightmare.

Kitespring could feel Dovesight's unsureness when she became a warrior. It was something that Kitespring knew way too well. The fear, the anxiety, the pressure to not fail her clan. Now, the russet she-cat was lying in her nest, trying to sleep. Really, she couldn't stop thinking about her sister. As per tradition, she sat vigil over the clan in silence, but it was harder when you had doubts that you could really do something, that you'd be able to warn your clan if someone invaded. Especially while under the watch of the Dark Forest.

Quietly getting out of her nest, the russet she-cat exited the warrior's den to search for her sister's face. Noticing Dovesight at the entrance of camp, the russet she-cat smiled warmly at her sister. "Hey, Dovey," she whispered, trying her best to stay quiet. "I know you're not allowed to talk in your silent vigil, but... I just wanted to tell you that you're not alone, and that I'll always be here for you." Maybe that was too much. Maybe she shouldn't have said any of that. Maybe she should have just stayed in her nest and tried to sleep like the other warriors. But tonight, it felt like Dovesight needed her here, and Kitespring was more than willing to be here to comfort her sister.
