Rushing Headlong (Drippingpaw)

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Tangleroot looked at Silentjaw, then shook his head.

"You don't want to know. Anyway, I hardly know much myself. Here, help get her onto my back." He meowed, crouching beside her.

[drippingpaw]

Silentjaw said nothing, obviously, as he slowly pushed Moonpaw onto Tangleroot's back. After he had, he stood, not knowing what to do. This was a new feeling for him. Usually he always knew what to do.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Tangleroot grunted under the apprentice's weight. She's only a few moons younger than I am. He thought, gritting his teeth. He sent a frosty look at Silentjaw.

"As for what happened, I'll ask questions later. Let's go." He grunted, shouldering Moonpaw a little and then padding towards camp.

[drippingpaw]

Silentjaw followed behind, very unhappy with himself. He couldn't understand what had happened, and he couldn't live with himself for doing it. He had to make it up to Moonpaw when... if she got better.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Tangleroot noticed Silentjaw's misery. He wasn't very good with other cats, but he didn't have to be. He stared forward emotionlessly even as he spoke.

"I'm sure it was an accident. And don't worry about her... reaction." He murmured, frowning.

[drippingpaw]

Silentjaw said nothing. He couldn't. The sadness overwhelmed him. She'll get better, I know it. he thought to himself. It was purely for his own comfort. Still he followed quietly.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

The two padded into camp.

"Spottedleaf!" Tangleroot cried. The she-cat ran out of her den, her eyes wide.

"By the name of StarClan, what happened?"

"An accident. She was seeing things again." He said, looking away as he gently slid Moonpaw onto one of the nests in Spottedleaf's den. The Medicine cat shook her head.

"But I gave her a herb that should reduce the risk of dillusions. Oh poor kit. She was a strange one, ever since she was born almost dead." She sighed. tangleroot nodded slightly.

[drippingpaw]

Silentjaw stood back, totally bewilderd. Born almost dead? She's had dillusions before? Why had he even gone near this cat? It was obviously not a good idea. He just hoped that Spottedleaf could heal her.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Tangleroot noticed Silentjaw's shocked expressions.

"It's not been this bad before." He growled, rolling his eyes. They wouldn't let a maniac live in the Clan! Only he and Spottedleaf knew the truth of Moonpaw's... condition.

"We will discuss this later. Now I must work." Spottedleaf said. Tangleroot stepped towards the clearing and then looked over his shoulder at Silentjaw.

"If you want to know about it, follow me. Otherwise I have things to do." he meowed uncaringly.

[drippingpaw]

Silentjaw vigilintly followed. He needed to know, to understand. Although he didn't want to admit it, he was scared.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Tangleroot sat down just outside the Medicine cat's den, watching Silentjaw without much expression. He sighed.

"Moonpaw was considered dead when she was born. Had swallowed something or other. Little Saviorkit saved her. She grew up normal as you like, but before she was apprenticed... something happened between her and a young kit who had lived outside the Clan. I don't remember his name. Anyway, the two became friends but then a big tom I know only remotely killed the kit and tried to kill her, too. She followed him, despite her wounds, and found he'd murdered a whole family of cats. She vowed to kill him, and sometimes... especially when she is close to blood... her own blood, it would seem... she sees only him and the hurt he'd caused her. Something like that, anyway." Tangleroot meowed. He shrugged.

"See? Not so bad. She kept it pretty tight lip, surprisingly." He meowed, his brow arched.

[drippingpaw]

Silentjaw shrugged. Not so bad. At least it doesn't happen all the time. His eyes twinkled. Interesting.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

"Yep. So she's not as insane as you might think." Tangleroot stretched and sighed.

"But she's had trouble getting a mentor because she sometimes acts strangely. Can't blame her, but can't say I feel sorry for her. Then again sympathy is a waste of time." He said.

[drippingpaw]

Sympathy is a waste of time. Silentjaw thought he liked a Tangleroot a little more now. It was an interesting statement, but one that made sense regardless. He nodded. Yes. It is.

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

Tangleroot smiled slightly at the tom, and then nodded.

"Well, I'm off. If anything changes don't feel the need to find me."{/b] He meowed. With a laugh he padded out of the camp, his tail tip twitching. He looked happy enough, but in actuality he was twitching with nervousness.

[drippingpaw]

Silentjaw sat down outside the medicine cat's den. He, sat, wasting time. Tangleroot's words floated in his mind. How could someone so young be so...psychotic? It was sad, it was madness. Silenjtaw's green eyes spied Tangleroot walking away. It was as if he didn't care. Silentjaw just didn't get how someone couldn't care about what had happened. Perhaps he felt much worse because he had caused the problem. He layed down, sighing a quiet sigh, as he shook his head. Still wasting time.

[Brambleclaw]

[[O.O So that is what happened to Weepingkit! x.x Oh, and I remember when Saviorkit saved her. Willowsong was so happy! xD]]

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

OOC: maaaaaybe. I'm glad someone's paying attention though *smiles deviously*

[drippingpaw]

OOC: Wait, say what? What are yo talking bout?

[.:-Aikoa-:.]

OOC: One of my RC kits.
