Sleepingpaw sniffed around the clearing and smiled when she found some tansy. This was going to help their clan alot. She was glad that there was still some of it after the Leafbare. Thank Starclan that Leafbare wasn't that bad this season. She sat down and began to pick them. There wasn't much left of it but there was enough to take back to the camp.
She was quite worried about the clan ever since she found that her brother Maskpaw was getting sick. Not only that but the other cats of the clan were too. She wasn't sure where this epidemic had come from but she was sure that is was going to bring sorrow. Birchstar didn't believe her and Snowlily when they were freaking out about it but Sleepingpaw knew something was going wrong.

Starpaw bounded across the cool ground. It was crisp and cracking beneath her paws with leafbare's cold wind constantly blowing on it. The she-cat sighed, fluffing up her fur so the wind didn't hit her quite so harshly. It was chilly, and she hated the cold! She shook her soft head and took a step. Normally, she wouldn't be out in this weather, but her mentor had insisted that she bring back a piece of prey because she hadn't caught anything for her Clan earlier. She concentrated on scenting the air, trying to draw up a trail. There was nothing, she could feel it. How was she supposed to hunt if there was nothing to catch? In frustration, she scuffed the ground. Her mentor would be angry, and she would be ashamed. What would Moonpaw think? What would the Clan think? She shook the thoughts from her mind- she had to catch something! That was when she caught it. A small scent just to her right. She couldn't tell what it was, but she followed it anyways. Her nose twitched as the scent grew stronger until BAM! She realized that it was a mouse. The mouse was walking in circles as if it was sick, but she payed no attention to it. Even if it was sick, that wouldn't affect the cat eating it, right? Crouching low, she was able to get close enough to the mouse to be able to pop it on the head with her claws out. It died instantly as it's neck broke. Proudly, she picked up the mouse in her jaws and raced back towards camp. Before she reached there, though, she sensed something else. Was it more prey? She turned around slowly, a tingle going down her spine. She wasn't able to tell if it was another cat or prey, or even danger since the mouse she was holding stopped her from scenting the air. Starpaw took a step towards the odd scent. She held her breath as her steps brought her closer and closer to the sound of the noise. With a sigh of relief, the apprentice saw Sleepingpaw, the medicine cat apprentice. She was picking herbs. Starpaw set down her mouse and purred loudly, "Hey there, Sleepingpaw!" She twitched her ears. "Are you collecting herbs for Snowlily?"

Sleepingpaw jumped at the sound of Starpaw's voice. She had come out of nowhere. It was strange cause no one could sneak up on Sleepingpaw like that ever. Her other sences were just too good. Maybe its this blasted weather. Its keeping my senses on the down low. She nodded to herself and then turned to Starpaw once again.
"Greetings Starpaw, I am indeed getting some herbs for Snowlily. All this coughing is taking up alot of Tansy and so we needed some more. There isn't that much left here but we could still use it. I have a bad feeling something really bad is going to happen." Her voice was calm and collective despite the news that she was speaking. She slightly hoped that it would keep the young apprentice from freaking out. Though Starpaw wasn't too big on "freaking out". She was a strong warrior apprentice.
Then she sniffed the air catching the scent of mouse. "Nice catch." She said, assuming the she-cat had just caught the unfortunate little creature. She smiled. Unfortunater for it but not for them. They needed that food badly at the moment. The stalk was dangerously low.

The pretty she-cat twitched her tail. She was glad to see that Sleepingpaw wanted to talk to her, for she was in need of some company. She felt her face warm up. It was always fun to talk to others, and she didn't talk to the medicine cat often. "That's cool, Sleepingpaw," she meowed cheerfully. When she heard Sleepingpaw comment on the size of her prey, she smiled a cat-like grin. "Thanks," she piped up merrily. "I think that that is a nice batch of tandy you have there," she added, totally unaware of the actual name of the plant. Her eyes blinked at the other she-cat, watching her. It always confused her and made her feel a tad bit akward to see the blind she-cat. They were rare in the Clans for an apprentice, and it made her sort of hesitant to talk to her. However, Sleepingpaw on her own was fine, and blindness should have nothing to do with how one cat treated another.
[OOC: Hey, Nova? Sleepingpaw is blind, right? If not I can change that! Also, sorry. Super low muse, but I had to post for you. =]

Sleepingpaw purred at the other apprentice she-cat's mispronunciation of the herb. It was usual for clan cats besides the medicine cats to not know the names of many herbs. However, since she knew them so well it sounded silly to her every time someone said the names wrong. "Its called tansy." She said with a small laugh. "But thanks. We need it, with how many of the Shadowclan cats have been getting sick like that."
She knew that Starpaw probably felt alittle uneasy around her. However, that didn't put her down at all. It made her feel happier. At least the she-cat was ignoring her uneasiness and actually talking to her. All of her life she was afraid that the other cats would ignore her because of her blindness. Since Starpaw was trying to be nice and polite she wasn't too much afraid of her any longer.
"You out on a hunting mission by your mentor or you just out to be out?" She asked curiously.
