ACORNPAW — how could I fear any hurricane?
It had been a long time since Acornpaw had felt truly fearful, her escape from the upwalkers that kept her caged was the last time the chimera had been stricken by the dreadful emotion, fueled solely on the terror that lay in the gaping jaws of her future.
Now, many moons later, the adolescent can just about taste warriorhood, her ceremony almost tangible. Theres was nothing to fear within the safety of her bramble-laden home.
Until. Until… she is fleeing once more, and raw paw pads had just touched forest soil.
Until, despite being in her own nest, she is running faster than she could ever imagine, a sandy blur amongst vibrant ivy.
She cannot stop- will not stop.
Right back into slobber dripping teeth.
SNAP!

The once writhing form snaps wide awake with an abrupt yelp, hushed under the strain of her distress.
Claws unsheathe and sink into the settled moss, trying to steady her tilting perception.
There are eyes on her- and Acornpaw turns to look right back at them.
"Close your eyes." The fawn adolescence snaps, though her wavering voice remains a whisper.
There is nothing to see here.

"speech"

 
. ° ✦ A gentle mind blissfully unaware of the dangers outside the borders of ThunderClan (and hardly aware of those within), Bravepaw was not plagued with past experienced to disturb his sleep. Still his dreams remained fixated on the warm embrace of his mother after a long day of training. Hazy sunbeams rest on his the thick of his coat and keep him warm, his father's voice swelled with pride as his heroics are announced to the audience of his Clan.

"Braveheart! Braveheart! Braveheart!" They sing and cheer.

In the midst of his cozy dreaming he woke only between flitting moments, but Acornpaw's yelp alerted his attention and drew him further from the drowsy call to rest his head again. Azure sights peer at toward the small molly, unable to tell who it is underneath the shadows. His maw opened, the words for reassurance cut from his tongue from her hoarse demand.

"Close your eyes." He knew now it's Acornpaw, the girl that lost her mother shortly before he and his littermates were born. Wide fuzzy ears pin down and he turned his head away, respecting her wishes for ignorance. He wouldn't pry, he would be polite.

"Goodnight, Acornpaw." He gently whispered back before settling back down in his nest.
