{$title} Nightmare about someone he cares about hurting him
JASPERKIT ⭑✶⋆.˚ for things to be quiet
meow


When the kit went to sleep, they were fine. A small purr rumbled in their chest, back pressed against one sibling, legs kicked out and stretching into another body. Wedging themselves between bodies and still sticking out like a sore thumb of white fur with black and red patches. A soft snore escaped the kitten as sleep took him.

a lot of sleep was darkness, sometimes there's be rare dreams of things that didn't quite make sense. things that reminded him of exactly how they felt. not feeling like they were who they said they were. but this dream was different. he couldn't exactly place who was in front of him- shadowed, but the voice was familiar.

They cared about this other one- that's what the emotions told them. Something told jasper that jasper should be scared, but Jasperkit wasn't. Jasperkit wasn't scared. They knew that nothing would happen to them.

And then the shadowed figure leaped towards them. Still, they couldn't make out the face, but they noted the glint of the others teeth and claws. Jasperkit never felt so scared. Never felt so... Small. The white kit crouched, covered their eyes-

"MAMA!"

The scream ripped through the stillness of the night as searing pain faded and numbed against their cheek. Mismatched eyes were brimmed with wet tears, body still trembling. They huddled on themselves, paws nestled tightly against their chest as they shook their head and moved gently besides Wavesongs form.

It was not a new feeling for ebbs of unfamiliar pain or feelings to overtake the young cat, ones that came from seemingly nowhere. Echoes of a hunger that recently could not be sated. But the tears that slid down Jasperkits face was very much real as paws gripped into black and white fur, sobs shaking their form.

It reminded them of the fight between Pikestar and Rushingtide. What if Pikestar hurt them? What if, what if, what if- Jasperkit shivered, burying a snotty tear covered face against their mom.

The ocean is in my soul,
And it's pulling me back to shore.
I'm letting go of the weight that's dragging me down.

Wavesong woke with a sharp hitch of breath at the sound of Jasperkit's cry, her body already moving before her mind caught up. Sleep slid from her like water from reeds as her blue eyes found him, small and trembling in the nest. " Jasperkit...? " she murmured, voice still rough with drowse as she leaned in, pressing her nose gently to his damp little face. The scent of fear clung to him, thin and sharp. " Shh... S'alright... Mama's here, lil' stonefin... " She drew him in against her chest, plumey tail curling instinctively around his small body, anchoring him there as if the world itself might try to pull him away. Her chin rested atop his head, a low, steady purr rumbling free.

" Jus' a nightmare, sweetling... " she whispered, slow and careful, as if each word were a knot tying him back to the waking world. " Yer fine... Yer okay... Yer safe, an' yer with yer siblin's... All o' them, aye. Right here. " she whispered to her child as Strawberrykit stirred at the sound, blinking blearily before mumbling something unintelligible and nosing sleepily into Jasperkit's side, a warm, familiar weight. A heartbeat later, soft snores filled the space again. Wavesong felt something in her chest ease at that. " Aye... See? " she breathed, gently brushing a paw over Jasperkit's face, wiping away the remnants of tears. " Even th'tide settles again, in time. " Her voice softened further, losing its edge entirely as she dipped her head closer, forehead touching his.

" Wha' happened, hm..? What did ye dream, stonefin...? "

Hazecloud hadn't been a frequent face around the nursery since her litter had outgrown it. She had been eager to return to a restful nights sleep with the company of Lichentuft and Smokewreath, and she never quite got used to the suffocating feeling that came with sleeping beneath the weight of four nearly grown kits.

Wavesong did not have the same expectation waiting for her once she left, though. It was still an odd unspoken truth that the molly struggled not to blurt out every time she was around. What is she supposed to say, anyhow? Just the mention of that mans name got their older son whipped to rage. Would the same come of Wavesong, or did she miss the sound of his name at all? Said without anger or hate?

While it was unusual for Hazecloud to be up in the late hours, the dusk patrol she returned from had been later than normal. It left her brain struggling to wind down and rest, and so she waited herself out into exhaustion by quietly tidying up some of the old dead reeds that had been missed. She could hear Wavesong's voice behind the thick sage that protected her nest, and in curiosity she left the reeds to check the caretaker.

"You should see if Jinglemoon has any chamomile. I kept it in my nest when mine were having rough nights." Hazecloud offered sympathetically as she watched Jasperkit squirm. "Might help if it goes in his nest in the apprentice's den, too." Already reaching that next stage in life for a Clan cat. She wondered where Wavesong would stay once Pikestar gave Jasperkit her next name.
