Withered/Five

insert poem here lol

~

Sweetfeather and I walk through the forest. We're both quiet.

"So... what about Autumnbreeze?" she asks.

"She's been acting weird lately. She's super quiet. And, she runs away from you, Roseblossom, and Applefrost whenever I come around. Like right now."

Sweetfeather nearly trips on a tree root.

"Do you really want to know?" she asks unhappily.

"Yes, Sweetfeather, please!" I plead.

"She thinks that her friendship with you is breaking..."

It's quite a bit to take in.

"Um... what is that supposed to mean?"

I cut her off.

"Really, Sweetfeather!"

"... only the gist of it." she mutters, exasperated.

"Sweetfeather, why is she acting like this?"

"See for yourself, Owlmoon."

I nod.

"But let me warn you. It might not be all that pretty."

I shiver.

Can I really fix this mess?

Sweetfeather and I end up running to the camp entrance.

"Beat you." Sweetfeather whispers, smirking playfully.

"But good luck, Owlmoon."

I walk around camp, trying to find Autumnbreeze's giner-and-white pelt in the midst of the crowd.

I finally find her talking and playign with Roseblossom and Applefrost.

They seem to be playing some sort of game.

Autumnbreeze and Roseblossom are spinning around, while Applefrost has to knock them off their feet.

She tries to knock them both down and the same time, and I can barely stifle my laugh.

They look so silly. But Autumnbreeze is having fun...

Applefrost succeeds in knocking Roseblossom over, and they tumble to the ground.

She notices me as soon as she looks up.

"Hey Owlmoon! Roseblossom, Autumnbreeze, and I were playing Twister!"

Applefrost and Roseblossom run up to me while Autumnbreeze stiffins in the back.

"Maybe later, guys. Sorry." I say sadly.

"Have you seen Autumnbreeze?" Roseblossom points to her, and Autumnbreeze's eyes go wide.

"She's right there."

Autumnbreeze starts backing up, and when I walk toward her, she starts running.

"Autumnbreeze, wait!" I take off after her, knowing I don't have much of a chance.
