It was late Greenleaf and the weather was nice. There was a refreshing breeze in the caves when Flintfall had gone to sleep. There were cats all around him sleeping on different ledges. On his ledge, he slept with his brother and parents. The moss he slept in was decorated with beautiful gems, and he was at peace. Sometime in the middle of the night, it had started to rain, but it was a gentle rain. Once that helps a cat reach the deepest most comfortable sleep. But not long after it had started to rain, it started to storm. The rain came down harder, which echoed around the caves, but at least the cats were sheltered from the worst of it.
Later in the night, the storm raged into a thunderstorm. The sounds of thunder filled the caves. Flintfall didn’t have a problem sleeping through thunderstorms, they didn’t bother him that much. But what did bother him was the sound of his clanmates in distress. At first, he thought the sounds of uncomfort were made from a kit, though when he listened harder he could tell the sound was much closer than that. He poked his head up from his tight curl and glanced around for the source of the noise.

Of course, the night it started thundering was the night Dawnstone went into the caves for one last check. Lilycloud HATED thunderstorms, rain itself wasn't so bad, in fact she loved to go splashing in a nice drizzle. But Thunderstorms where LOUD, like the sky was splitting apart. It was horrible! Lilycloud couldn't stand Thunderstorms, usually made easier by her sister. Lilycloud yelped as another crack rang across the sky, the lightening illuminating the cave for a moment then darkness. Lilycloud shook from ear to tail, huddled in a ball. Her paws where stuck to her ears, hoping to muffle the sound but didn't seem to work. Another clap of Thunder made Lily let out a pitiful squeak of terror. That one had been louder then the other, Lily was sure she wouldn't be getting any sleep. She had to stop herself from crying, she wished Dawnstone was here, she would calm her down, but she was all alone. Another Clap, Lily covered her ears tighter, trying to keep herself together. "please stop, I just want to sleep go away!" she mumbled to herself Tags: alexx,

Flintfall’s pale yellow eyes couldn’t see all that well when it was bright, but at the moment it was the middle of the night in one of the deepest parts of the cave. The area was almost pitch black, which was when his alert eyes performed the best. His excellent hearing also aided him as he searched for the source of distress. Soon he pinpointed the fearful noise to be coming from a long-furred she-cat. Judging from the voice and the ledge the she-cat was sleeping on, he promptly confirmed the cat to be Lilycloud. He carefully got out of his nest and off his ledge, making sure not to wake any of his family members. He then made his way over to Lilycloud’s ledge and inched his way over to her nest. Once on her ledge, he undoubtedly heard her say. Please stop. I just want to sleep, go away! Flintfall felt bad for Lilycloud. She and her sister normally slept together, so he was confused about why she was all alone tonight. Once close enough to touch Lilycloud he reached out a paw and gently rested it on her side, in hopes to reassure her. “Hey Lilycloud. Is everything okay?” His voice held genuine concern as he watched her shake from ear to tail. jinxy,

Lily's eyes flew open as she felt something touch her side, causing her to let out a squeak of alarm and flail her paws. At first all she saw was black, but it didn't take long for her eyes to adjust and for her to see who the cat was. Flintfall,she knew him, they had been in the nursery together for a short while. "Flintfall? Oh- i'm fine" she lied, she wasn't fine, far from it but she didn't want to worry the tom, but then another crack of thunder boomed across the sky leaving her a horrible shaking mess. "Ok- no i'm not fine" she admitted, hiding her face with her small paws. "I-I hate thunder" she admitted, peaking to look at the tom, her periwinkle eyes watery. "its so loud, and it sounds so horrible!" she mewed, wanting to sink into a hole. "I know its pathetic" she meowed sadly, her voice barley above a whisper. Tags: alexx,

Flintfall took his paw away from Lilycloud’s side when her squeak of alarm surprised him. He let out a nervous chuckle as he watched her paws flail. He wasn’t sure what he should do, he was becoming more and more worried as he watched her actions. Once Lilycloud calmed down from the sudden touch he heard her say, Flintfall? Oh- I’m fine. Any cat could tell that Lilycloud was just putting up a front. Be was about to say just that but another round of thunder came crashing down, causing Lilycloud to start shaking again. Before he could get out any words, Lilycloud spoke again. Ok- no I’m not fine. With these words Flintfall watched Lilycloud cover her face before she continued. I- I hate thunder. It’s so loud, and it sounds so horrible! Flintfall looked down at the she-cat with sympathetic eyes. He never wanted to see any clanmate in such distress. He went from standing above Lilycloud to sitting beside her. He settled down and used his long-furred tail to cover his embarrassingly small paws, even though it was unlikely any cat could see them in the darkness, it was habit at this point. As he settled down he heard Lilycloud whisper. I know it’s pathetic. Flintfall pressed his body against Lilycloud’s in a friendly manner as he spoke. “It’s okay to be scare from time to time. Although, I think being afraid of thunder is a little silly. There’s no way the thunder could hurt you, now lightening is another story. But even lighting can't get us down here. We’re protected by the cave.” His voice was a whisper so not to disturb any of the other cats sleeping, though with all the noise from the storm he doubted any cat could hear them. “Would you like if I stayed with you until Dawnstone gets back? Speaking of which, where is she?’ He purposefully tried to change the topic to get Lilycloud’s mind off the storm. jinxy ,

Lilycloud felt a little better as she felt the tom brush his fur with hers, making her feel less alone. “It’s okay to be scare from time to time. Although, I think being afraid of thunder is a little silly. There’s no way the thunder could hurt you, now lightening is another story. But even lighting can't get us down here. We’re protected by the cave.” Lilycloud removed a paw and looked up at him. "I-I know- its the noise" she mewed, looking at him with big doe like eyes. "It feels like it rattles my brain, like a roar" she meowed anxiously. She shuffled her paws, her fur still on end. "I-I just hate it." she stuttered out. "Especially as a kit, its always followed me." she said with a sigh. Then though it was easier, she had her sister, and her brother. But right now she was all alone. “Would you like if I stayed with you until Dawnstone gets back? Speaking of which, where is she?’ Lilycloud gave him a little smile. "Yes please" she whispered, resting her head on her paws. "She's in the tunnels, doing one last check on gem hunting, or something like that" she meowed sadly. Lilycloud looked around anxiously for any sign of her sister. She was always worried when she was late. "I hope she gets back soon..." she mumbled. Tags: alexx,

Flintfall listened to his friend. Even though he didn’t quite understand how Lilycloud felt. He was still sympathetic. He heard her say, I-I know- It’s the noise. It feels like it rattles my brain, like a roar. When the she-cat said that, Flintfall finally began to understand the feeling a little. The noise was definitely disturbing, and sometimes it was so loud it felt like the floor of the cave was shaking. The situation was finally put into a perspective he could comprehend. Before he could say anything Lilycloud went on. He listened intently as she told him a little about her past. When she told him she’d like him to stay with her, Flintfall send a similar smile back at her. He watched her set her head on her paws, he hoped she was finally starting to settle down. He watched over her as she answered his question about where Dawnstone was. She’s in the tunnels, doing one last check on gem hunting, or something like that. I hope she gets back soon…Flintfall looked around the cave as well. He tried to draw in smells to see if he could pick Dawnstone’s scent out from all the rest, but all he could smell was the rain being carried down the tunnels from the wind of the storm. There were still a few strikes of thunder, though they seemed to be getting fainter. “I’m sure she’ll be back soon. I wonder why she’s checking on the gems…” He trailed off as he thought about the increasing sightings of black gems. He wondered if that had anything to do with it. Flintfall soon rested his own eyes against his paws. He was growing tired as the storm began to settle down to gentle rain once again. The sound was slowly putting him to sleep. jinxy
