"Ugh! Which one is it!?" A frustrated voice came from within the medicine cat's den. Mysticpaw was busily trotting back and forth putting the herbs and remedies into certain groups for certain injuries. She was becoming quite flustered with herself so she plopped to the ground blatantly annoyed. "For the love of StarClan, why can't I figure this out?!" She rolled onto her silver back and hit her head off of the platform underneath her. Mysticpaw needed something fun, something to take her mind off of everything to do with a medicine cat's life. She needed to have her time for herself and enjoy being a young cat while she could. The small she-cat rolled back onto her belly then stood. "Time to go at it again...." she was positively repulsed by her goals.

A tortoiseshell tom limped into camp, holding his paw close to his chest. "Stupid squirrel" he muttered under his breath. He limped towards the medicine cat's den, hoping Mysticpaw was there. As he got closer he heard frustrated curses. She's in there thought to himself.
"Mysticpaw" Twistpaw called as he reached the den entrance. "I need help" he mewed.

The silver tabby was getting ready to have a full on freak out when she heard the voice of a familiar, and very much needed, tomcat. There was, however, something about him that was off. She turned and looked at the young, yet developing handsomely tom.
"Twistpaw!" She rushed urgently over to her male friend. "Are you alright...?" Mysticpaw questioned as she examined the tom then noticed the imbalance and awkward shift of his weight. Concern shown her eyes but she felt that she should someone find a way to lighten both of their moods. "What did ya in this time Twistpaw?" a slight smile formed about her muzzle with a low chortle in her throat.

Twistpaw smiled sheepishly at Mysticpaw. He didn't really want to tell her how he hurt himself, he didn't want to sound like an idiot. He had to though, he couldn't stand lying to the pretty she-cat. "Well, I was chasing a squirrel and kind of caught my paw on a tree root and twisted it" he said, feeling the heat rise to his cheeks.

Mysticpaw gave a slight smile in response. Once she heard his excuse she looked at him with playful azure eyes. "And you being the ever so attentive cat that you are, you didn't notice the presence of the tree?"she inwardly chuckled and looked into his gems, noticing how handsome they were.
"So this tree root just came out of nowhere?" She smiled at Twistpaw and a low purr arose within her. "Don't worry about Twistpaw, I'm concerned with how you got it...just how to fix it," she gave a slight pause and looked back at her messy pile of herbs with wide eyes and a sunken heart. 'I hope I can help him....'

"I was busy trying to catch a squirrel for us to share" Twistpaw replied. "And I swear the root just jumped out of the ground to trip me" he mewed jokingly. "So can you fix me up?" he asked. He held the paw out to her, wincing as he did so.

The undersized shecat had her attention quickly drawn back to her by Twistpaw's words of kindness. "Oh Twistpaw, I'm too busy to eat right now anyway," she shook her head and averted her eyes to the tomcat's possibly twisted paw.
"Well," she paused to lick the injured ligament to her dearest friend, "I can give you some poppy seeds for the pain and to help that heal up considering it is just a mild twist...." Mysticpaw stopped and the jokes began to formulate in her head.
"You have a twisted paw....and your name is Twistpaw!" She howled then rubbed her body against his and went straight back to work.
"We will need just a tad bit of Comfrey for it to be better by morning." She smiled, clearly proud of her work. Mysticpaw nodded her head for Twistpaw to come nearer and sit down. She turned back to her pile of hers and stared at it with contemplating eyes, trying to remember where she put each one.

Twistpaw was staring at Mysticpaw, not really listening to her talk. He was confused when she burst out laughing at his paw, and he figured she must've made a joke about his name. "Haha very funny" he mewed, rubbing back.
Twistpaw limped over to the place Mysticpaw gestured to and sat down. "Do your thing" he mewed, holding out his paw, a smile on his maw.

Mysticpaw looked at the stack then closed her eyes, remembering what she had learned. She took a breath and grabbed the comfrey in her mouth and put the poppy seeds onto a leaf and bit down into it as well. She padded over to the tortoiseshell tom and dropped the leaf containing the poppy seeds gently on the ground in front of him. Mysticpaw took a second to look at his paw one last time, she subconsciously shifted closer to Twistpaw, so close that she was basically against him.
'Why do I care for him so much...? I don't feel this type of emotion for anyone in the Clan.... thought the young she-cat to herself as she brushed against his fur. Forgetting that she still had the comfrey in her mouth and that she was in view of every feline that decided to peek into the Medicine cat's den, Mysticpaw nuzzled into the under part of Twistpaw's muzzle.

Twistpaw watched Mysticpaw work, completely enthralled with her movements. He watched as she gathered the herbs. He smiled as she placed the herbs in front of him then went to sit at his side. Twistpaw nuzzled back, letting a purr rumble through his chest. He was content to just sit there, the poppy seeds forgotten.

Mysticpaw felt the purr within Twistpaw's body and let her own higher noted rumble rip through her body. She stayed like this for awhile until a little voice in her head sounded an alarm on high alert.
'What are you doing?! YOU HAVE WORK TO DO MISSY!' The voice in her head was her mother's. She snapped back to the present and moved her body away from Twistpaw's and set the comfrey down on the leaf in front of him. "I'm so sorry about that Twistpaw, it was very....inappropriate of me as a Medicine Cat, in training or not, I shouldn't have..." she started to mewl rapidly in a rant, "...and I really shouldn't be getting close to anyone but with you I just can't help it." Mysticpaw stopped and realized that she was aimlessly rambling. "I'm going to shut up now," she hid her face in embarrassment, her silvery pelt all ruffled from her miniature freak out.

Twistpaw was startled when Mysticpaw pulled away suddenly. He listened as she freaked out about what just happened. "Its alright Mystic, just calm down" he mewed soothingly. "And I know how you feel" he said, a shy smile on his face. "Don't hide your face, it's alright" he mewed.

Mysticpaw was trying her best to stay calm, every bit of her felt guilty for her affections towards her friend. "Take two of your poppy seeds and take the comfrey right after it. There's a bit of fresh water by the one mat if you need help washing it down," she mewed, her voice shaking. She couldn't help but sneak a glance over at Twistpaw, and she saw that smile that always sent a rush through her body, but at this instant; it killed her. "Twistpaw...I..." she had so many things to say, yet they were jumbled and caught in a misshapen web of chaos and emotions that she was too confused to even dare to venture into it.
Mysticpaw looked back at Twistpaw, eyes watering. Then she looked the other way and sat down with a plop, her head sagging. "I just don't know what to do..."

Twistpaw nodded in response to her instructions. He went to follow them and then noticed Mysticpaw breaking down. I thought breakdowns were my thing he thought to himself. He got to his paws and limped over to her and took a seat next to her. He stroked her back with his tail. "It's okay Mystic, you'll be okay" he mewed comfortingly.

Mysticpaw stiffened at his words. She knew that there was no way that anything was okay in this instant. However, the tail upon her back felt extremely relaxing. "Twistpaw...go take your medicine," she commanded weakly, "You have to take those. Please do so. We can talk about this after. Right now I just want to make sure that your paw is taken care of."
She turned around and faced him with an authority-type look. "And I'm sorry for freaking out like I did. I just have my duty, and StarClan should be the only thing that is in my heart at that level. And even then The love I feel for them is different than how I love you..." she trailed off and padded over to the herbs and picked a small about of ivy and chewed on it to calm herself down further.

Twistpaw nodded at Mysticpaw's instructions. He limped over the the herbs and chewed them. He looked back at Mysticpaw as she spoke of her love for StarClan and for him. He felt bad for making her feel so confused and stressed out. "I can go, if you want to be alone for a bit" he said, gesturing with his tail to the den entrance.

Mysticpaw turned around and looked at Twistpaw in disbelief at his offer. "No...don't leave me alone..." she whispered in a response, her eyes now on the ground. She let a sigh leave her nostrils and her longer haired tail wrapped around her undersized paws. 'StarClan...what's wrong with me...?' she thought miserably to herself. The silver tabby shook her head slightly and looked back to Twistpaw and took a deep breath. "Go lay down," she glanced over at the first bed, "the poppy seeds should be taking affect now and I don't want you to stand and be drowsy, considering you aren't as agile and attentive as you think you are." She flashed him a weak, but warm smile.

"I won't if you don't want me too" he mewed. Twistpaw smiled as he limped over to the bed. He settled down, positioning his paw into a comfortable position. "Lay with me?" he asked, looking over at his best friend.
"And hey, I'm plenty agile, I seem to always beat you in races" he teased.

The medicine cat apprentice watched as her best friend limped over to his resting place. "Sure," she mewled softly in response. Her eyes got mischievous as she laid down beside him. "That statement is just not true Twistpaw. I have caught up to you and pounced you on many occasions," she curled up beside him comfortably. Mysticpaw already had a story formulated if anyone should question her. Her nerves were calming down and she let out a small yawn as the ivy started to take effect. "Twistpaw..." she paused for a second then continued, "...how do you think it will end for us?"

Twistpaw smiled as Mysticpaw joined him. He never felt right when she wasn't with him. "That's not how I remember it" he mewed.
He pondered Mysticpaw's question and found he couldn't give an answer. He wanted to say that they would end up together with a family, but he knew that wouldn't ever be a possibility. "I think that no matter what happens, we'll always have each other" he mewed, it was the best answer he could give.

Mysticpaw purred a giggle at Twistpaw's first statement. "Then your facts are a bit goofed," she head-butted him gently. For a moment the young she-cat forgot about everything else, what had just happened, the fact that she was a medicine cat, everything. All that she knew was Twistpaw. However, once he spoke yet again, in a less pleasant tone, she looked the other way, her azure eyes defeated slits. She knew what he was saying was true, but in every way she wanted more than just having each other. She wanted to be a medicine cat and have a family. "I hate rules," she grumbled lowly. She wanted to love Twistpaw more than any cat in her Clan, and she knew that she already did. Mysticpaw knew that she wasn't supposed to, but couldn't help it. Twistpaw was best friend, and she loved him.

Twistpaw returned the playful headbutt. "Maybe, but I like my version better" he said.
He watched as she turned away and muttered 'I hate rules.' He knew what he meant, there was no mistaking that what they had was more than friendship. "So do I" he mewed. He would do anything to be able to have a future with Mysticpaw, including running away. He knew that she loved being a medicine cat too much to leave though.

"Why do they even care? It's not like loving someone is poisonous!" She whipped her tail back and forth in frustration. In a way she wanted to just disappear from everyone, even Twistpaw. An idea sparked in her head, why not runaway? It would be simple, just walk out and never return. "Hey Twistpaw why don't we....nevermind... that wouldn't be any good. Not for you, not for me or for the Clan. Definitely not for the Clan," she thought about how there wasn't a medicine cat and if anyone would need fixing up, there wouldn't be anyone there to attend to the wound.
She just wanted so badly for everything to fit perfectly. 'Oh well...' she thought and shrugged, calming down. She turned back to Twistpaw and licked his ear.

Twistpaw just listened as she ranted on. "I'd do anything you wanted me too" he mewed honestly. Mysticpaw was his everything, nobody understood him the way she did.
He felt her lick his ear and smiled. He wanted to talk more, but he felt his eyelids drooping. "Love you" he murmered before falling into a deep slumber.
