Novawish then snaps out of her memories. She look down and saw Grasskit looking at her anxiously.
"What?" Novawish is now concerned, "Is something bad going to happen sooner or later?"
Grasskit shake her head, revealing nothing. "Just...stay yourself." she mutters "And never change, or you'll be gone forever..."
"What!? No!" Novawish cries as she lean forward and nuzzle the little kit's cheek with her nose. "I'll never leave you." But Grasskit turn her back to her and paddle away, not looking back.
Nervous, she look up at Leafshadow. "What does Grasskit mean?" she asks, wanting answers. "What's going to happen?"
The ginger molly just bow her head. "The medicine code is there for a reason. It is because you need to love your Clanmates more than anything, like they're your own kits. Having a mate and kits will stray you away and distract you. Trust the medicine code, because it's your only hope." Then she faded.
Novawish then woke up and look around at the Moonpool, seeing every cat still alsleep.
So...now what?
Novawish was about to decide to wait for them to wake up until she heard a moan outside. She paddle outside and saw Jaggedpelt looking at the stars.
She paddle at his side and Jaggedpelt didn't seem to notice her. She caught a glimpse of his golden eyes, which is full of sadness. She remembers about his kin.
"I'm so sorry..." Novawish mutters.
Jaggedpelt then turn his golden gaze at her, she saw anger and shock in it. "Sorry about what!?" he spats, "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see if you're okay..." she mews, a awkward silence occurred, then she continues, "You know...about you're mother and-"
"How did you know about that!?" Jaggedpelt hiss.
She look down at her paws. "Beastfur told me..." she confesses to him.
The silver tom golden's eyes glowed with anger. "Why does that tom has to blab everything out!? I'll freaking kill him when I get back to the ShadowClan camp!"
"There's no need to." Novawish meows calmly. "He just want to help you-"
"He wants to make a fool out of me!" Jaggedpelt yowls, then look at his paws, "Which is not a surprise, no one cares for me anyway, deep down."
Novawish thought she never seen a cat so miserable. The winds breeze though. "It's getting cold out here." Novawish exclaims, finding a excuse to press herself against him for comfort. She felt Jaggedpelt tense besides her.
"Look," Novawish begins, "I know it's hard, I been there, I lost my sister when I was a kit, it's really hard to just live on without her....but I need to move on." Jaggedpelt flinch as she continues, "I need to focus to more important things, like caring for my Clans. You need to fight for your Clan, it's the reason why you're here right now. If you hold on to your grief, you might miss out on the things that are more important without even realizing it."
Jaggedpelt stay silent for awhile, then he spoken. "You're right." he mutters, "My brother Beastfur is still here, and my Clanmates. I won't be a good warrior if I held onto anger." He then got up to his paws and look at her. "We should hang out some more."
