Hollyfire nods "Its alright Runningpaw, its ok but I need you to help me by getting Hailstorm.." She gives him one of her rare smiles "Your one of the fastest cats I know."

Willowwater calls over to Leafblaze "Tangelfoot said him, Hailstorm and Mosspaw were going to the stream." She turns back to her apprentice.

Firepaw thinks for a moment "I think we have to get a orange flower...maybe it was yellow...I cant remember but I know when I got hurt Hailstorm put cobwebs on my cut...."

Hallowpaw twitches slightly and murmers softly "Dont go...." She opens her eyes after a moment and she looks terrible.

Runningpaw looked at Hollyfire and nodded, nervousness making his pelt prickle. "I'll go right away," he mewed when he heard Hallowpaw. Who was she talking to? Him? ...No...not him... That was an impossible thought. Hearing Willowwater say they were at the stream he nodded. Giving one last glance at Hallowpaw, he mewed, "I'll be back as fast as I can," to those who were around him. Then he rushed out of the camp, streaking like a bullet out of the entrance. 

Leafblaze looked at Hallowpaw, seeing hohw terrible she looked. "Don't worry, Hallowpaw. Hailstorm will be coming soon..." Looking around, her gaze spotted Grasswhisker talking to Softstep and annoyance flaired briefly in her eyes. How had he not even noticed that his own apprentice had just collapsed? "Grasswhisker!" she called to the tom. "Did anything happen while you were out with Hallowpaw?" she asked. She'd ask the apprentice herself, but she looked so weak that Leafblaze didn't want her to waste energy to try and explain if something had...

Summerpaw padded up to her mentor, her eyes wide with concern for the older apprentice on the ground. "Are you alright?" She murmered, her voice quiet and slightly fearful, her self-conciousness taking over. 

Riverpaw gave a start as his mentor came over but he collected himself rather quickly, glancing up at Rippleclaw. He gave a nodd and pulled himself to his feet while surpressing a yawn. "Is there anything else you wanted me to do?" He asked, his paws itching to at least get out of camp. 

Wheatley padded after the warriors, picking up the mouse and blinking in thanks to the cat that had given it to him. The only shine of kindness he had ever got from them.

Duskclaw opened his mouth to speak to Leafblaze but she left in a huff before he could even tell here what was going on. Why was she being so difficult? He knew deep down why and he started to surpress the feeling. Blinking back the feelings he felt, he knew that Leafblaze didn't feel the same about him anymore. Nothing was the same.

Echopool padded in after her apprenice, setting the water vole on the pile before settling down on the edge of camp. Settling down for a quick nap, she curled up, letting the sun shine down and warm her fur. She gave a soft sigh, unknowing of the tension that had just passed through the camp.

Sparkpaw flicked his tail. "something gold, right?" he offered.

Copperpaw bounded over to Runningpaw and Hollowpaw, "Can i help?" She asked.

Tigerclaw sat at the egde of the clearing suveying the camp.

Windflight bounded into the camp, carrying a mouse and a vole.

Flamefeather looked around, wondering what to do.

Dustkit teetered over to Springpaw, "Hi!  Are you a Apprentice?"

Swanheart padded over and layed down by Tigerheart.

Silverflower followed her sister(Swanheart) and sat next to her brother(Tigerclaw).

Hallowpaw sits up slowly and shakes her head "No....But its alright, this happens all the-" she cuts herself off and stands up, staggering as she takes a few stepps twords the apprentices den, her whole body trembleing as she looks around despritely trying to keep away form the others.

Leafblaze stepped to Hallowpaw's side as she staggered, trembling. "You aren't alright, Hallowpaw," she mewed gently, seeing the desperation in her eyes. "Just sit down for a little bit..." she said, her eyes worried and confused. She'd never seen something like this... Seeing Copperpaw approach, she looked at the apprentice. Leaning her head down, she murmured in her ear, "It'd help if you could get those who aren't helping away from Hallowpaw," she said quietly to the apprentice. It was clear Hallowpaw was uneasy with all the attention and it wasn't helping. If Copperpaw could get their attention somewhere else or at least explain to them, it might make Hallowpaw more eased.

Hallowpaw nods slightly, reluctently sitting down again with her head hung low. Her trembleing slowly begins to increse untill shes shaking compleatly, her head feeling like she had thousands of cats clawing at it and it dosent help that shes in frount of everyone. Not here, not in frount of them.....I cant let them see this. She takes a deep breathin and lets it out in a wince of pain, her head was in agony but the rest of her felt hallow, just like her name.

Hailstorm darted through the camp entrance, quite out of breath. He loped quickly over to Hollowpaw, taking in her appearance in a heartbeat. she didn't like the other cats around. "Hollowpaw, can you walk without loosing your balance of passing out? I need to get you to the Medicine Cat den." he meowed gently.

"I-ithink so...." Hallowpaw mews quietly, pulling herself to her paws. She sways slightly but somehow manages to make it to the entrence to the Medice Cats den, colapesing again on one of the moss beds in the darkest part of it, hiding herself within the shadows to hide her panic. Oh Starclan! Hailstorms going to find out, I cant tell him about the dreams...... and all the cats.... She continues to worry, starting to hypervenilate.

Hailstorm walked next to Hollowpaw, then went to his herb stores and pulled out a few things. "I heard you collapsed, has that... happened before?" he asked, concerned. He has out thyme, honey, and poppy seeds, but he wasn't sure what she needed. when he saw her breathing he said. "Breath, Hollowpaw. Take deep breaths, everything is fine. You're going to be alright. I'm going to help you."

Hallowpaw takes a few deep breaths, calming down slowly "I-it happens a-alot.." she looks up at Hailstorm, terrifyed that he'll call her crazy "I-it happends when I have dreams...." Tears stream down her muzzle and she looks at the floor "O-or when I-I remeber t-things....Th-they are so scary....I-it makes me feel sick, t-to see that, I.....I feel horible, espsially since I can't remember who they are..." then she squeeks "I-i said too m-uch, please do-dont tell anyone!"

Hailstorm nodded, listening and nodded slowly. "If it's important to you, i won't tell." he said, covering a few thyme leaves in honey. "I might be able to help you more if you tell me more." he said, looking at her and nudging the honey and leaves toward the apprentice. "These will help soothe your nerves."  What could she be suffering from? Memory loss? Whatever had happened to her must have been rather traumatic.

Hallowpaw smiles softly "T-thank you Hailstorm." She hesitantly laps up the thyme leaves and lets out a soft pur. She gently closes her eyes and she slowly stops trembleing "I-im not sure if m-my dreams are memories but.... Its like I was really there... I-I remember a few cats that traveled, and there was huge rocks that could touch Starclan," Hallowpaw whispered "I love those dreams but then.... I-i remember an a-attack, I-i saw the same c-cats killed by huge monsters...T-there was a queen protecting me,I think she might have been my mother, and she- she told me to run..." Hallowpaw's voice breaks "And i-it gets worse....sometimes I remember falling off a cliff on the huge rocks, into the clouds below.... and sometimes durring the day I can hear them, their mews, their laughs... it hurts so much.." her shoulders sag and her head droops.

"And this is why you black out?" he asked, though it was more to just confirm. a thought was forming in his head. If this rock could reach starclan, why couldn't he just ask StarClan if there was such a rock? "Perhaps when/if you fell, you hit your head and forgot. that would make sense as to why your flashbacks make you blackout. What is the farthest back you can remember? good, solid memories."

Leafblaze blew a breath of relief when Hailstorm entered the clearing and quickly herded Hallowpaw to the Medicine Cat den. That got her out of sight of everyone and she was in good paws now. She flicked her tail tip as they disappeared and hse looked at Hollyfire. "I hope Hallowpaw's alright..." she murmured to the she-cat, momentarily forgetting about her 'betrayel' as others would see it. Leafblaze didn't know what to think about it. It was true it might be safer to keep Wheatley away...but if he relaly had wanted to join, he could've been a great asset...

Hollyfire nods "I hope she feels better, the poor cat has no family, and she can't remember anything either...." she sighs and looks over at Grasswhisker, "I'll go inform Grasswhisker about Hallowpaw." She pads over to Grasswhisker. 

Hallowpaw nods and closes her eyes "I remember singing," she whispers "at every full moon, the cats would sing to Starclan.... only they called them Starcats....at night the clouds wold disapear and you could see the deep valley, it was so far down that trees looked like moss..." Hallowpaw's face softens "and the lake sparkled.... it was so beautiful, hearing the song echo through the valley, the elders said it was the Starcats way of singing with us... "
