"Here in the darkness I know myself"
Featherpaws eyes tried to close again, but she quickly opened, she layed there curled almost in a ball now, as she huddled up, she looked at the ground even the earth seemed fuzzy to her vision. she took a soft breath out into the chilly air and closed her eyes for a moment, claws flashed at her face suddenly, she jumped, terrified, she closed her eyes but this time in disappointment, she would never have a dream, it would always be a nightmare, thats why she never wanted to sleep.

Seeing as Featherpaw was currently curled up in a ball, almost, Bloodpaw padded closer to Featherpaw. "You don't seem-" the black pelted apprentice began until Featherpaw jumped. Bloodpaw also jumped from the shock and the sudden jump that Featherpaw made. "I'm gonna take you to...the Medicine Cat's Den. Let's go," Bloodpaw meowed seriously as he began to nudge Featherpaw's shoulder, trying to get her to move.

"Darling, I forgive you after all"
Featherpaw, shrank back further into the corner "No, I'm fine, it's just-" she said as she reached the back, a small pebble came down, she was scared, but she could never dream freely without being punished, even in her dreams. She had crawled into the back, her eyes holding terror. She lay down, her eyes closing, fear of life, she stay put.

"You don't seem fine though...tell me, are you sure you're okay?" Bloodpaw asked. He had never exactly showed anyone a relatively similar amount of care before, it was strange to him. Bloodpaw took a few steps back, feeling like he was weird. Speaking of weird, Bloodpaw looked behind him, seeing another cat staring at them. Bloodpaw hissed at the eavesdropping cat, asking rhetorically, "What are you looking at?" The other cat quickly looked away, padding away towards the apprentices den.

"And in the end I guess I had to fall"
Featherpaw, shivered once more, not by the wind but of the presence of her father. She looked down, "I'm fine" she repeated, a small glass like figure slowly fell down her face, as it landed it dissolved into the ground. She put her head all the way down, she curled her tail around her huddling up in the back corner, it dragged her in, and she quickly fell under it's spell.

"Alright..." Bloodpaw meowed as he took another step back. "...I'm sorry." He said as he saw the tear drop from her face. He padded up to her again, nudging her to see if she was awake enough to hear his words. Soon, he just stepped back again. His eyes closed halfway again, feeling empty.

"Don't want to lock me up inside"
Featherpaw was held back, she moved slightly as he nudged her, but sleep embraced her, forcing her down. Another wind swept by and it made her shiver in her sleep. Here pink nose that was out lined in black seemed almost, like a purple or blue; cold. She huddled tighter in her sleep, she had been slightly skinny over awhile for she had not eaten in two days either, she had been afraid they would get mad at her. Her blue eyes closed, though deep in her sleep, she new he would come for her, waiting to taunt, and hurt her.

"Okay...since you clearly didn't want to be taken to the Medicine Cat's Den, I'll take you..." Bloodpaw began as he began to drag Featherpaw to the Apprentices Den, but changed his mind, thinking that it would probably upset her. "No, but she can't just stay out here," Bloodpaw decided as he again started to drag her to the apprentices den by her scruff.

"Don't cry to me, If you loved me,You would be here with me."
Featherpaw was deeply unconscious, she almost seemed dead, slow breaths only heard in dead silence. Her fragile body being moved where ever desired. Her legs if walked on would give in.
"You want me,Come find me. Make up your mind."

When Bloodpaw had finally reached the inside of the apprentices den, he put her in one of the corners of the den, and lay down next to her, wishing for her to get up. Sighing, Bloodpaw looked away from Featherpaw. Why am I showing this much emotion...it's just disturbing me, Bloodpaw thought, while looking away.

"Should I let you fall, Lose it all, So, maybe you can remember yourself, Can't be believing,"
Featherpaw slightly stirred but her body felt numb, here sapphire eyes opened slightly feeling more heat then she had had in her corner, it made her drowsy, but some how it kept her awake, she didn't know where she was her eyes tried to move around the room she was in, she saw a figure next to her, at first frightened but realized it was the one she spoke to she saw him looking away, she slightly frowned, did she anger him? She slightly closed her eyes, lecturing herself for angering somebody else.
"We're only deceiving, Ourselves and I'm sick of the lies, And you're too late!"

Looking back over to Featherpaw, Bloodpaw noticed that she had woken up. Alright, don't be..don't sound too caring...but I can't sound too uncaring either...no, where are these words even coming from? It's not even like me to think that way, Bloodpaw thought as he opened his mouth to say something. "You're awake..." Bloodpaw began, upset with the way he said that, "Are you okay...?"

"Couldn't take the blame.Sick with shame. Must be exhausting to lose your own game. Selfishly hated,"
Featherpaw, layed there, she could feel here legs now her body defrosting. He hates me she thought, she looked up at him "I'm sorry" she mewed, looking down at the ground, suddenly she had a hunting feeling creeping on her like spiders, she let her sapphire eyes look up, and there in the entrance stood her father, "N- No! no no no!"she yelled, backing up, horror in her eyes, her worst nightmare was here, she shrunk all the way to the back, crying. Still trying to go back though she couldn't her eyes held fear in them.
"Oh yes yes yes, my dear"he said in the strong haunting voice his taunts came first. "Oh, I see you still have my little gift I gave you"he taunted looking at the scare on the right side of her face. "so hows your brother? oh yea that right"he hissed, his large paws moving forward.
Featherpaw turned her head not showing her scare, she weeped as he took a step forward, and back more into the wall "Just leave me alone please..."she begged tears falling from her eyes.
The large gray tom smirked, "Oh you got it wrong sweetheart, your time is up, punishment is do!"he snarled. Taking another step grinning.
"No wonder you're jaded.You can't play the victim this time, And you're too late."

The second that Bloodpaw noticed that Featherpaw was crying, Bloodpaw quickly stood in front of her. "Who are you...and what do you want with Featherpaw?" Bloodpaw asked as the large grey tom finished with, 'your time is up, punishment is due.' Punishment? Bloodpaw thought, realizing that he was probably going to hurt her.

"Make up your mind.You never call me when you're sober. You only want it cause it's over,"
Featherpaw, backed into the wall, "please"she whispered.
Steel smirked, "please isn't a word"as he took another step now almost in her face, he unsheathed his claws, "ugh, you are just like your mother"he growled with disgust.
Featherpaw's eyes held horror in them, she had never been so scared in her life, suddenly she felt pressure on her throat as her father quickly put his claws in it. she tried to get loose but was pinned, she closed her eyes waiting for her death. No, no she wouldn't let him kill her, "My mom was a great mom!" she yelled pinned under his claws and managing to get a paw free and slashed him across the face, his claws still in her throat she pulled free, bleeding heavily as she ran out o f the den. Her father soon running after her.
"It's over."

Growling, now that this cat was now pinning Featherpaw down, with his claws into her neck. "Let her-" Bloodpaw began as Featherpaw got a free paw, swiping the larger cat across the face. Soon enough, the two cats had run out of the den. "-go...?" Bloodpaw soon ran after them to try and help Featherpaw. "Leave her alone!" Bloodpaw shouted to the large tom while slowly catching up to him.

"50 thousand tears I've cried, Screaming, deceiving, and bleeding for you"
Featherpaw ran as fast as she could, her legs carried her but she hadn't slept or ate in two days, I'm going to die... she thought her legs slowly giving in.
Steelsmoke, had a slash across his eye, now very angry, he leapt at her, almost catching her foot, he pounced again, his large claws going for a hit, as her legs gave in slowly.
"And you still won't hear me"

"Why won't you at least respond?" Bloodpaw asked expecting no answer. Growling while running after the large tom, Bloodpaw gave up on his attempts to get through to the large tom with words. Noticing that Featherpaw's legs gave in, causing her to stop and that Steelsmoke was about to attack her, without thinking, Bloodpaw ran up to Featherpaw, pushing her out of the way, in an attempt to protect her. He had done that before Steelsmoke had launched himself towards Featherpaw a second time trying to slash her, or worse, stab her. Then, Bloodpaw's limbs seemed to move themselves, moving Bloodpaw almost out of the way, with Steelsmoke's claws slashing across his back leg, causing Bloodpaw to fall over.

"Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself "
Featherpaw could see her fathers shadow casting over her, but was moved she suddenly rolled out of the way, not she was pushed, she turned dizzy her legs weak, feeling broken. She raised her head quickly and screamed "NO!" crying, she couldn't move, an she couldn't reach Bloodpaw.
Steels eyes glared with flames at the cat, he raised his claw ready to rake them onto him.
Featherpaw, saw it, his large claws rising then falling slowly about to hit him, "STOP!"she yelled, her silver pelt covered in blood on the neck, she lay, there, helplessly, her father stopped and smirked padding over to her, he raised his claws, and stroke, she rolled and kicked him with her weak legs but it saved some time.
"Maybe I'll wake up for once"

Bloodpaw's eyes closed tightly as death neared him. Images of his brother flashed in and out of his head. "I won't die until I kill him..." As he opened his eyes, he noticed the large tom padding away. Featherpaw, Bloodpaw thought as he tried to stand up. Pain surged through his leg as he tried to. "Featherpaw..." Bloodpaw sighed as she saved him some time. Quickly, ignoring the pain, he stood up, and started to pad towards Steelsmoke. When Featherpaw rolled and kicked Steelsmoke, Bloodpaw bit onto the large tom's tail.

"Not tormented...Daily defeated by you"
Featherpaw, slowly got up falling on her feet, she got up again slowly trying to stand up.
Steel felt pain in his tail and yowled and turned around and lashed out missing, then volwed, "I'll be back for you!" he snarled looking at Featherpaw, and ran out of camp.

When Steelsmoke turned around, Bloodpaw accidentally let go of the large tom's tail, causing him to roll over on the ground, landing about a yard away from Featherpaw. Standing up slowly, Bloodpaw asked, "You...alright, Featherpaw?"

"Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies"
Featherpaw, slowly rose, on her first paw and fell, her chest was covered in blood and the large claw marks leaving anther scare to remember him by. She slowly sunk to the ground, some blood on her lip, she managed to speak, "I think I'll be ok"she meowed, most of her fear gone now into pain. She breathed slowly, and she closed here eyes, and opened then, "You didn't have to do that for me"she meowed, she felt this where her fault, her father never would of came here, and never would of hurt Bloodpaw, this was her fault.
"So I don't know what's real and what's not "

"Good...At least you're okay...I couldn't let him kill you," Bloodpaw meowed. "I may not have 'had' to do that, but I wanted to, because we're alike...we both have scars." Bloodpaw had not meant that literally, but he meant it rather that they had emotional scars. Sighing, Bloodpaw decided to show Featherpaw something he decided that no one whould ever see unless under certain circumstances. Bloodpaw quickly rolled over on his back, revealing his belly. On his belly was a scar that extended vertically across his belly. "My brother gave me this scar," Bloodpaw meowed as he rolled over.

"Not tormented...Daily defeated by you"
Featherpaws sapphire eyes went to worry, "I guess we are alike"she meowed, agreeing with him, she wanted to ask why his brother did that but knew that would be rude, "That was my dad..". She meowed, she lay on the ground, she stopped talking to catch her breath, "He killed my mother" she said in a low murmer, her eyes closed rembering the soft sweet scent of her mother, but it vanished quickly.

"Your father? That was your father? But why would he attack you like that and why would he...kill your mother...?" Bloodpaw asked, not exactly expecting an answer. He had a bunch more questions, but the pain that was surging through his leg currently, had prevented him from asking them.

"Always confusing the thoughts in my head "
Featherpaw looked at the ground, "He killed my whole Family"FeatherPaw didn't aswer his questiobs, she new she couldn't answer them, but all she could guess was that her father enjoyed killing her family."Most cats hate me...because I am his daughter, they think I'm blood thirsty,"she said looking at her silver paws.
"So I can't trust myself anymore"

"So that's what all of that was all about earlier..." Bloodpaw muttered, "I'm sorry...sorry that your family died...I don't know that pain and I may never know it, so I don't even know if my sorry is valid, but still..." "If I hadn't seen the way you looked earlier, I probably would have hated you too...for different reasons though.."

"Not tormented...Daily defeated by you"
Featherpaw, looked at him, " What do you mean, hate me?" she asked confused. She took a deep breath before again trying to get her paws, she has the right one up but then fell on the left. She lay in the dirt, her silver fur had blood on it and dirt mixed together. She let a low sigh escape her throat, her head was pounding now, he her cuts stung especially with the dirt inside them.

"I just can't trust others...I fear growing too close to them. I would have forced myself to hate you, because I probably would have lost you," Bloodpaw meowed not realizing that Featherpaw had fallen over until he finished speaking. When then, Bloodpaw stood up, painfully padding over to Featherpaw, trying to help her up.
