Crowpaw
Purrks: Heightened Perception and Agatha Kitty

Tiabirb
This was the third meeting between Crowpaw and his secret friend. This time, he was scared. Not angry or nervous, just... scared. Poisonberry practically gave him no other choice but to train with her. He still had yet to go to the medicine den, though he cleaned his scratches as best he could. He could have easily been killed, possibly trapped in the Dark Forest with the monster of a twin sister his RiverClan friend had.
For a moment, he didn't know what to think about it all. But as he took the time out of his day to really think about Poisonberry's 'offer,' the gravity of the situation hit him. Sweetsong was now at risk of heartbreak. She had only lost her twin, as far as he knew at least, but he didn't want her to lose anyone else. He forced his racing thoughts to subside until he dug out the hole Sweetsong had made previously.
I have to tell her... I need to get as much information as I can.
There were two reasons why he has yet to go to the medicine den to get Drizzlecloud or Springlight to put herbs on his wounds: he wanted to show Sweetsong and he didn't know entirely for sure what ThunderClan's medicine cats would think of the bite mark on his arm. He sat in the hole he dug, looking down at the very same bite. He had hardly moved yesterday for fear of having to limp around the camp without an excuse.
It felt as if everything around him was crumbling. At first, it was cracked. But now his world was changing. Bumblestar had said something about a ThunderClanner, Leopard something, being demoted to a 'paw while she was pregnant with a RiverClanner's kits. And while he wasn't Sweetsong's mate, it did concern him. Not about the relationship, per se, but about loyalty. He hasn't felt any loyalty toward ThunderClan since they had let him down. Would this 'meeting with Sweetsong in a dream' be disloyal? Would training in the Dark Forest put him at risk of demotion?
"Sweetsong, I need your help." he murmured her name softly, not even sure if she had joined him yet. He had been too caught up in his thoughts to even know what he was hearing other than the waves of the endless lake.
I don't even know how'd she react...
