Before there was brawling, back at the medicine den, we see PebbleStone and PrismrosePetal looking inside. As the rogue was gathering some of the med supplies.
“Okay.. I’m going to go get a warrior to help deal with this, I’ll be right back. Don’t do anything rash, you got that Prismr-“. PebbleStone turned over to look behind him. But PrismrosePetal was completely out of sight.
“Hey! You!” PrismrosePetal yelled at the rogue.
“Huh?” She turned around before smirking. “Aw… how cute, but I can’t deal with you today. I’m quite busy right now.”
PrismrosePetal looked at her before his ears lowered in a very annoyed manner. “Drop the meds supply this instant, you hear me? Or else!”. She snarled.
“Or else what?”. She just continues to smirk before walking their way to him. PrismrosePetal would take a step back a bit. “I….”.
“Ha! You're all talk! I knew that you would be one of those medicine cats, you're not a warrior. So what can you do? Bite me? Scratch me? You don’t have the skills for it.”.
PrismrosePetal’s ears dropped more, and she shook his head, trying not to remember the memories from the past. “Get a grip, PrismrosePetal! She is just trying to get inside your head…. “. We would hear whispering a bit in the back like ghosts.
“Get a grip…. grip….. stay down…. PrismrosePetal… stay……. Stay down.”. When his eyes opened once more, they were dark for a split second before she started to leap at them. As you can hear the whispering in the background become a bit louder.
The rogue cat was caught off guard by the sudden aura. She quickly gets out of the way, but only to get pulled by the back paw. “Oomph!”.
The teeth were bitten in the back of their paw, as the rouge quickly turned their body partway and kicked with her other foot at him. He lets go as the rogue stands up on both four paws. “What!? How do you have those skills?! From what I understand, only those who trained under as warriors should be able to know this…. So how could yo-“.
PrismrosePetal backed up a bit, surprised at himself for doing that. Before looking up in fear a bit. “I….. didn’t…. I-“. The whispering stops in the background.
The rogue noticed the flicker in his eyes before she backed up a bit. “Oh.. I get it now… just like the story has been told before…”. Their tone changed a bit in a happier talk. “Well.. I love to chat…. But I have to run now~ so toodooloo~!.”. They would grab the med supplies and run right through the bushes, making a hole in the den.
“Hey! Get back here! Y-you! Umm! Er…. Thief!”. PrismrosePetal got so mad, she didn’t know what to say at them. As he hit the ground beneath him. “Dang nab it!”. Before she could run after them, PebbleStone stepped in. “That’s enough.”.
PrimsrosePetal paused before she started to sniffle and crouched down, covering her face. PebbleStone slowly made his way over to PrismrosePetal. He hesitated a bit to reach his paw to her before he patted her on the shoulder gently. “You okay? I know you have some experiences, but… do you really ha-“.
“I didn’t do it!”. PrismrosePetal looked up at him pleadingly.
It was quiet….
“Do what?”.
“I….- it’s nothing.. can we just…..forget?”.
PebbleStone looked at him for a bit before he sighed. “You can’t keep avoiding the problem. You know we are all here for you.”.
“I know..”. PrismrosePetal would try to quickly compose himself and sit up. “I guess… I’m still thinking of her… even though I thought I told myself I wouldn’t chase after some-cat that is already dead.”.
“It’s okay to feel that way… but… if that is going to cause problems in the real world…. Then we are going to have issues.”. PebbleStone spoke strictly; you can tell he was mad. Furious even.
PrismrosePetal realized how much she had affected the whole clan by that. She felt guilty for acting uncoordinatedly without permission.
“You're not letting this one go..? Are you?”.
“Only if you finally come clean.”.
“I see… *sigh*… Do you remember those nightmares I’ve been having?”.
“Yeah? What of it?”. PebbleStone said questioningly and was a bit.
“Well.. they never actually went away, in them I would keep seeing ‘you know who’ in them. It might have gotten to me a bit.”.
“I see… it can be prophetic, or maybe you just need to take on a new scenery. Sometimes our body and mind just need a breather, and plus, I’m sure you need to take a break. For days, you’ve been working way harder than you need to be, ever since your parents. But you're stronger than the past.”. PebbleStone replied.
“You really think so?”. PrismrosePetal looked at him.
“I know so, and I agree. Also, that was reckless, if I had run here in time, then I would have interfered. But I was at the border having to check with the unknown or yet to be enemy.”. DawnStar added, as he came in.
“You can hear that far away?”. PebbleStone tilted his head a bit.
“Ah, no, I got it from this little one. Apparently she was just walking by and overheard it. Then quickly ran to find me or a warrior to help.”. DawnStar nudged VioletPaw to come in.
PebbleStone took a moment before he looked like a proud papa.
“I didn’t know what to do.. and I know I can’t fight since I never trained under a mentor for that sort of thing… but I knew I couldn’t just stand there and do nothing!”. VioletPaw meowed.
“It’s okay, VioletPaw. You did good, that was the right thing to do. Unlike some cat who just rushed in.”. PebbleStone glances back at PrimsrosePetal.
PrismrosePetal just got bested by a kit who is around 34 moons younger than her.
PrismrosePetal would look down, embarrassed, before DawnStar would speak once again. “PrismrosePetal, you know I will not let this slide, but I also know how much this clan means to you as well as loved ones. So…given that said…”.
PrismrosePetal gulped nervously at the unknown punishment.
“Your punishment is…”.
“Is?…”.
“A 7 moon days of break, meaning no working, please rest for StarClan's sake. “.
“Huh!?”.
PrismrosePetal looked at PebbleStone and at DawnStar. “This isn’t the punishment I was expecting!”.
“Well.. I was going to give you more work… but then I realized it wouldn’t do any good. If you're always giving yourself more work to do. Besides, if I did, it would be more of a reward in your standards.”. DawnStar sighed heavily.
“Come’on, PrismrosePetal”, PebbleStone spoke out to him. “Just take the break, and besides, with you out, I finally get to have VioletPaw gather some med supplies without you overdoing it as always.”.
PrimsrosePetal had nothing to add to that; he just nodded.
“…*gasp* … I finally get to go back and gather supplies!?”. VioletPaw would get excited; she has been wanting to train again for some time now.
PebbleStone smiled at his apprentice before he nodded.
“Awesome!” VioletPaw yells out.
