Random dreams, or a sign?-open-

[Yachiru <3]

Creamtail woke up with a cry and padded over to her herbs to see if there was any she was low on. I'm low on Juniper berries but i think those can wait a bit longer... she mumbled to herself. She had had another dream about Venomtail again and it bothered her still. She tried to ignore it and get along with her early morning routine.

[yellow]"Heya Creamtail!"
The tom meowed, voice light-hearted as he poked his head through the fern coverings. By the cheery voice and the handsome gray pelt, the tom was easily recognizable as Breathwhisp. However, even more identifying were the eyes, both amber aside from one which was a dull, hazy gold.
"Need any help? I just sent off the dawn patrol, so I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help."

Purring, the deputy walked half-way in, gray fur a blob of smoke in the shadows as he wrinkled his nose from the overpowering smell of herbs. He didn't know a single thing about plants- only that some were good for you and some were bad. Oh, but he did appreciate catnip! It tasted great, even if you weren't sick. His good eye shining in the shade, he sat to the side to give the medicine cat room.
"You must be busy gathering new herbs, what with New-leaf here and all."
He meowed energetically, wrapping his tail around his paws as he beamed brightly at the she-cat. Even if it had only been about two moons since the loss of Thunderclan's former deputy Spiderclaw and his heartbreak over Dreamstep, the tom had forced himself into a quick recovery. It had been a shock when a cat so young had been appointed with Spiderclaw's duties, but he was doing his best to take responsibility. If he was going to protect his clan, he would have to protect his heart too.
I wonder where her apprentice is? Off chatting or hunting maybe?

Now that he thought of it, Breathwhisp had never witnessed a Medicine Cat fighting or doing any normal warrior duties. In fact, did they even know how to fight?
Probably, I mean, they do have to defend themselves, too. Not everything is about herbs and Starclan for them.

Creamtail looked at the entrance to her den to find their new deputy there. Her eyes cxlouded over with grief for a second, then she blinked to clear the oncoming tears away. She looked at him with a smile and purred. I'm fine for now. But I gotta remember to stock up on Juniper berries soon. We aren't at the point where I need more yet, but almost. She looked back at her herbs and noticed something strange. All my catnip is gone! How can this be? I had plenty yesterday! she mewed in alarm.

[yellow]At first, the tom thought he'd imagined the sudden wave of sorrow on the she-cat's expression, but when he blinked it was gone and hidden by a smile that could fool even Silentstar. Speaking of which, he hadn't talked to good old Sile for quite a while. It made him swell up with pride to think that he had nicknamed her, even if no other cats referred to her that way.
"Well that's good. Junipers are for.... Was it stomach aches, or rotting teeth?"
He meowed, the second half relaying mostly to himself. And then the she-cat suddenly rose her voice, and he jumped in surprise, having not expected the calm Medicine Cat to be alarmed by anything.
"What? Is it possible someone snuck in?"

He didn't want to accuse any cat, but something told him the culprits were quite possibly the mischievous future-apprentices that dwelled in the nursery. Sighing, he took a step forward, casting the she-cat a glance as if to ask for approval of him observing the scene. Bending his neck, he sniffed the empty spot the she-cat's eyes were on, and sure enough there was the fresh, sweet scent of catnip. It made his mouth water, so he quickly held back the urge to go catnip hunting on his own.
"Hmmm... Did you see anyone go into the den after you left?"

Not that I know of! She mewed in alarm.
This has never happened before... Why now? she thought frantically. No one has ever stolen from her den before... Maybe a kit stumbled into some herbs, but never stolen some!
How could this happen? Who would steal my herbs? Who would want to? she was angry and upset over this discovery. Catnip is usually hard to find, unless you like traveling into Two-leg territory or in old two-leg dens.
