Spiderweb heard Brightfur's cries, then flattened his ears. His head had been pounding all day, and with her screaming the frequency of a monster, it made it worse. He stood, his head complaining. "Starclan I must be getting old..." He snarled as he trotted into the clearing. Really, he was going to skip the ceremony, and try to sleep, but that plan was ruined. He spotted Minkpaw, her eyes closed in a deep sleep. Lazy, he thought.
Minkpaw was in a field, not in a clearing in the forest. She spotted a butterfly, then growled, her tail curling up. She pounced, missing horribly. She snapped at it, but it was just out of reach. The apprentice growled in frustration. No matter how close she got, her paws just missed.
Starlingchirp looked over at the twitching apprentice. Nightmares? He laughed as she sneezed, then looked back at Spiderweb. The medicene cat looked unkept, and his blue eyes were dull. His own eyes widened. Wasn't Spiderweb just chasing a rabbit a few sunset's ago? He looked at Mintstar, his eyes filled with concern. He knew Brightfur was kitting, and that the medicene cat who was only a few seasons looked as if he was as ancient as dirt.
