plagued by nightmares, plagued by horror [rumenikstar only]

Raindrops sprinkled her tiger-striped, black and white pelt as
she lingered in the entrance of Rumenikstar's den, yellow eyes
dark with worry. She shifted from paw to paw uneasily and shook
herself dry again, only to find that the light shower had
returned to soak her once more. A quiet and nervous curse was
bitten back as she glanced once behind her; were the dogs still
chasing her? She hoped she'd led them away, away from ShadowClan
camp and to somewhere else. She hoped she'd led them back to
their twolegs, what with their leashes and large, screaming
voices. That'd shut them stupid mutts right up.
But something still bothered her. Why had they even crossed into
ShadowClan territory? Were there more of them? Despite being a
good, strong, swift fighter, the prospect of going up against
vicious canines really, really scared her. And who did she go to
when she was scared? It was obvious by now, and since she had
been to the leader when nervous many times before, it was
obvious that she had no problems telling Rumenikstar her
worries, concerns and fears.
Terror haunted her every waking moment, and nightmares plagued
her sleep. It was like the spirits were trying to get her,
trying to kill her, and so it was no surprise she woke in a cold
sweat, screaming, in the middle of the night. It had gotten so
bad she didn't sleep in camp any more, and she slept behind some
shrubs a few minutes' walk away from where everyone else was.
No-one seemed to mind, though, and her disappearances at night
were now greeted by sleepy murmurs of thanks to StarClan and
approval.
And every time something bad happened to her, she told
Rumenikstar. And now she was back at the entrance of his den,
waiting for him to tell her she could enter or at least speak,
waiting for him to let her tell him about the dogs.
[color=white]"Rumenikstar?" Piano Keys called uncertainly, ears
flickering back and forth, "Are you there?"

[center]Wasn't everyone supposed to be heading to sleep now?
Rumenikstar made no move to stand up- He was lazy. "Pianokeys?"
He guessed, almost laughing. She came to him frequently, and it
was no doubt that it was her calling for him.
"Come on in." He sat up straighter in his nest, looking to the
entrance of his den, just waiting for a scared looking Pianokeys
to come padding in. She was sweet, that was true, but it was so
late. He figured it better be important, something like dogs on
the territory. If only he knew...

She was unable to stop herself from smiling with relief at the
now-familiar sound of the leader's voice, and she stepped out of
the rain and into his den. Glancing around, Piano Keys twitched
both ears and sighed softly, guessing that he would be a little
annoyed at her coming to him so late. It was time for her to
return to her nest outside camp and away from everyone, but she
couldn't just yet. Not before she had spoken to Rumenikstar.
[b]"Dogs..." The striped she-cat began, yellow eyes widening at
the memory of the frightening beasts. "So many dogs... They
chased me all the way out of our territory... I managed to lead
them back to their twolegs... But I think there might be more."
She shuddered at the memory and wrapped her tail around her
paws, shutting her eyes as if that would block out everything.

[center]Rumenikstar nodded. "We mustn't worry now. I'll call for
my sister to guard camp during the night with someone, and if
something happens, she'll call an alarm." He promised, then
looked at Piano Keys. "I'll call a meeting first thing tomorrow
about setting up extra patrols to keep an eye out."[/center]

Piano Keys nodded slowly. [b]"Let me guard the camp too. I don't
like sleeping; I have nightmares every night without fail, and I
don't sleep in camp because I disturb everyone with screaming. I
might as well do something to help, to make up for all the
warriors I've annoyed." The she-cat glanced at her paws.

[center]Rumenikstar hesitated, but nodded. "If you wish. Go
ahead and tell Lylabreeze, too." He meowed, brisk yet gentle.
Laying back down in his nest, he added, "Should anything bad
happen, come right away to me." He said.[/center]

She had never had any problems with speaking to Rumenikstar, but
her sudden awkwardness surprised her. It was as if she had to
think about what she said, which had never being a problem,
and... it wasn't right. [b]"Oh please, you know I'll come to you
if anything's wrong. I come to you every day about something ~ I
won't be keeping secrets." Piano Keys smiled slightly and
turned, watching the rain fall from the heavens. "Although...
these dogs were big... and it looked as if they had been
hunting, not just chasing prey blissfully like they normally do.
They really looked as if they were searching for something... or
someone."
