Sickness spreads (o)

Scorchlight padded close to the rest of RiverClan, coughing slightly. She was sure she'd be fine; it wasn't that painful. Still, she was dizzy but felt optimistic and energetic. She just ignored it. A few days ago, she had confessed love to Sprucebark, and he said yes. How could she not feel joyful? She pranced happily before looking above the crowd of cats to find one she could talk to.

She twisted and turned around all the warriors and apprentices, her eyes giving off the playful glint it always did. She was bored and sneezed every few seconds. Maybe a cat could take the boredom off her mind. She smiled, continuing to wiggle her way about the crowd of cats. She pondered thoughtfully.

Wow, we sure are lucky StarClan guided us to this lake, her eyes edging towards the east shore, gaze locked. Some cats said twolegs lived there; the prey might not have been as prosperous. It seemed as if it was just some silly rumor, or was it?

Sootstorm had strayed a little from the WindClan group as he tried to find some herbs, any herbs, that could help Daisypaw. She was too young to be thrown into taking care of everyone, especially with no mentor of her own after Smallstar went missing, so he tried to help out whenever he could. He could still remember some of the herbs that he had found for Sparrowthorn when he was trying to save his mate and kits from sickness, though now he couldnt find any of them around. The dappled tom finally chose to take a break from his searching and raised his head to see a ginger she-cat looking out at the lake with awe-filled eyes. He couldnt help but smile at her child-like wonder, and approached the she-cat after a while. "Enjoying the view?" He asked breezily, settling down close to her.

Scorchlight watched exhaustedly as Sootstorm settled down next to her. She scented WindClan in him. "Oh yeah, I’m just thinking about when we’ll return," she said, telling the truth. Every bit of her body ached, and she just wanted to return home and rest in the comfy moss nest at the warriors den. She had only spent a few nights there, as she had recently become a warrior.

She looked down at the glittery blue lake. "It’s just I'm not used to leaving home, and I’m anxious and tired, and I..." She paused, giving herself a chance to rest before sneezing and resting her head on the sand paws next to it. "I’m sick, but I’m usually happy and all..." She sounded miserable with every word that came out of her mouth. Her tail pattered up and down as she stared towards the sand and water, trying to comfort herself. "I think I need some time to rest. I’ve been overworking and overwhelming myself lately," she muttered, taking a step to look at the docks at the other side of the lake and the rickety wooden Twoleg houses that also arched alongside the docks.

She didn’t feel open to talking to anyone right now. She sighed, sitting up and curling her tail around her body. All she wished for right now was to sulk in the shadows and wait for herself to get used to this new lake she’d never explored. Maybe soon she’d be able to cheer everyone up, but in the meantime, some silence was all she needed. Even Sootstorm looked slightly stressed with his duties.
