As HazelWing gets closer to the Medicine Den, they start to slow down and enter calmly. HazelWing watched their paws and made sure not to spill anything or disturb any injured patients.

When HazelWing came all the way inside the den. They only saw PebbleStone. 

“Hey, PebbleStone, how are you?”

PebbleStone turns around and looks around. After he settles his eyes on HazelWing, he smiles.

“Hello, HazelWing! I'm doing just fine. What have you come in for? Are you injured? You usually don’t have any problems.”

HazelWing shakes their head and walks into the room. 

“No, I'm perfectly fine, as always.”

PebbleStone scoffs at that statement but keeps on listening.

“I came to check in and talk to PrismrosePetal.”

PebbleStone grimaces, thinking of CloverMoss. 

“Well, she went out with CloverMoss just a little while ago. I was trying to tell him not to go with her.”

HazelWing frowns slightly. “CloverMoss? She went out with her?”

HazelWing tears up a little, faking it.

“Why didn't she take me with him! She knew I would have wanted to go out! Plus, she already knows how she is! She is super clumsy and forgetful! She knows she needs me!”

“WHY?!?!”

PebbleStone just stares blankly at HazelWing and shakes his head. 

“Can you just go check in on him and make sure that she is alright? I am a bit worried about you-know-who.”

Almost like lightspeed, HazelWing changes their attitude and nods slightly. 

“Yeah, I know. Do you know where they headed?”

PebbleStone shakes his head.

“No, but I bet you can find him. Just sniff all around here, she leaves his fur everywhere.”

HazelWing nods and bends down, sniffing around the area PrismrosePetal works at the most. After catching her scent almost immediately, HazelWing turns around and heads out of the den quickly. Their trot turns into a sprint, looking for their friend.

HazelWing couldn't stop for a moment. Just thinking about what could happen… 

‘Stop!’

HazelWing shakes their head quickly before their memories come back.

‘I thought I made myself forget….Whatever, I'll fix myself later.’

Meanwhile, on PrismrosePetal point of view…..

“Thanks for helping me out with this, CloverMoss.” PrimrosePetal smiles sweetly at her while picking up Yarrow and holding it in his mouth.

CloverMoss blushes and looks away from PrismrosePetal. 

“I-I-It’s f-fine. I l-like helping you out.”

PrismrosePetal smiles and nods.

“It's only been six moons since you joined, right? How does it feel to be in a clan like this one? Is it better than what you expected?” 

CloverMoss smiles slightly and nods her head. 

“Everyone has treated me so kindly….I like how easily everyone accepted me into their clan, and it is not what I expected. At all.”

CloverMoss blushes, “In fact, you were one of the first to accept me in and talk to me involuntarily.”

PrismrosePetal looked surprised a bit that CloverMoss could remember that far back.

“Well, of course! The more the merrier! We need all the help we can get.” 

CloverMoss was about to lift her paw towards him, but hesitated after hearing that. “Oh.. Um, yeah, of course. It's always great to have more others.” 

PrismrosePetal nodded at CloverMoss. “Why don't we head back? It's going to get late, we are not supposed to be out past our curfew.”. 

“...Yeah…”. CloverMoss nodded, but after walking a bit more, she stopped. 

“Hm? What's wrong CloverMoss?” PrismrosePetal turned her head over to look at her. 

“Well… I know this may seem like it's rude, but I’m a bit curious and have to ask this.”. CloverMoss looked at PrismrosePetal, with a slightly serious look. 

“Why don't you be a warrior instead of a medicine cat?”. 

PrismrosePetal had a long pause, “I… have my reasons.” She added while sounding a bit uncomfortable. 

“It's just I think you would be a great warrior cat.. and… we could hang out more too.” 

“CloverMoss…”. PrismrosePetal looked at her like a stranger for a second. 

“Ah… Sorry, I shouldn't have asked that. I didn't mean to overstep any boundaries.” 

PrismrosePetal looked tired, as she smiled slightly at CloverMoss. “It's fine.”. 

“Maybe we should head back home quicker…”. CloverMoss moves slightly past PrismrosePetal, as she leads the way back to camp. 

HazelWing just watches them silently above in the trees and sighs quietly. 

HazelWing stretches out and sits up slowly.

‘It’s a good thing that she didn't go any farther than that….it would have been a problem if she did.’ 

HazelWing slowly makes their way down the tree, hopping down, branch by branch. Once they made it to the ground, they looked around to make sure they weren't noticed. 

‘I have to…..’

HazelWing starts the walk back to the clan, a few meters behind PrismrosePetal and CloverMoss. 

‘.....do it…..’

HazelWing keeps on walking, erasing their steps and scents as they go.

‘.....for him….’

‘..me….’

‘...us.’

.

..

…

..

.

HazelWing makes it back to the clan a few minutes behind PrismrosePetal and CloverMoss. HazelWing walks to the medicine den, once again, to talk to PrismrosePetal. 

Once HazelWing took a step inside, they could hear PebbleStone and PrismrosePetal conversing. 

“.........”

“.....you……careful, okay?”

PrismrosePetal smiles and waves it off. “I was fine. CloverMoss helped me get some Yarrow! We were needing some anyway.”

“Ahem.” HazelWing coughs twice to get both of their attention. 

“PrismrosePetal, you know I was trying to talk to you the whole day! And you know what happened when I finally came here to see you? You weren't even here!” HazelWing cry's out and sniffs, really fakely.

“Drama queen! Isn't this a bit much?... Also, I wanted to hang out, but CloverMoss came by and asked if we could hang out, and I wanted to invite you, but she said she just wanted me and her to hang out. Not sure why though.”. 

HazelWing wipes off their ‘tears’. And coughs slightly. “That's fair. You tried to get me to come, so thank you.”

*Whispers* “Even though I was there….”

PrismrosePetal ears twitched, “What was that? I didn’t quite hear you.”. 

HazelWing shook their head, “Nothing, I was just talking out loud to myself. I have to go, I have to check in with the leader fast before I go to bed. Are you going to be here in the morning? If not, are you in the afternoon?”

PrismrosePetal paused a bit before smirking. “That, my dear friend, would be anonymous.”. 

HazelWing stared at PrismrosePetal and tilted their head slightly. 

“How would that be anonymous if I can just ask PebbleStone what time you work?” PebbleStone chuckles in the background. 

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, sometimes you get a whole new schedule. A whole new patient out of nowhere, or you never know when stock is low.” PrismrosePetal responded. 

HazelWing scoffs and shakes their head. “Whatever, change what you like, move where you want, I can find you, I'm not a deputy for no reason.”

HazelWing now smiles deviously, “No matter what, I will find you.”

PrismrosePetal scoffs a few times, she doesn't even know what to say to that. 

HazelWing sees PrismrosePetal expression and just chuckles, “Alright, don't tell me. I'll see you on the flip side.”

HazelWing waves and turns around to leave. 

“Night!” PrismrosePetal came out of the den, looking at HazelWing. 

“Night! I'll see you tomorrow!” HazelWing yells back and sprints off in the direction of the leader's den. 

PrismrosePetal shook her head as she smiled slightly, walking back inside the medicine den. 

.

..

…

..

.

HazelWing made it to the leader's den just in time. They walked in slowly and called out to him. 

“DAWNSTAR! I'm here! Sorry I came late, I was training MoonFall a bit and went to check on the rest of the cats.”

DawnStar, who was sitting down waiting for HazelWing, motioned for HazelWing to take a seat in front of him. 

HazelWing walked up confidently and neatly took a seat. 

“I was worried for a bit, you normally don't come late. I went around and asked for you, and TigerPaw told me where you were.”

HazelWing frowned for a moment and looked down, but in the next second, they glanced back up, smiling, happy. 

“Sorry….I really didn't mean to. I just had to work on some stuff and train with SwirlPaw in the morning and MoonFall in the afternoon.”

DawnStar looked a bit unsure but just nodded and agreed with HazelWing anyway.

“You do have some great senses, so I believe you did it for a reason.”

DawnStar now looks seriously at HazelWing.

“The reason I wanted to talk was because of ThornClan.”

HazelWing's happy smile immediately turned into a look of disgust.

“What about them? What's going on?”

DawnStar shook his head and sighed.

“Just be on the lookout, HazelWing. Promise me.”

DawnStar nodded. 

“I promise, I will look out for all members of my clan.”

DawnStar gave a small smile. “Thanks, now if you will excuse me, I need some beauty rest.”

HazelWing laughs merrily and heads out of the den, on their way to their own place.
