(continued from Shatterpaw's Ceremony in DC territory)
Whisperwind slowed her pace once they were well inside SoulClan territory. She flicked her ears uncomfortably and didn't meet Thornclaw's eyes. "You smelled it, didn't you?" she whispered softly.

((OOC: I am on my mom's old computer that she borrowed from a friend. It logged me in, but won't let me be him. Dx))
Thornclaw looks at her and says, "Yes, I did."

((yes. I'll email you))
Whisperwind finally lifted her eyes to look at Thornclaw. She hadn't told anyone yet, but it was getting harder to hide. The cough. The fever. The scent of sickness. She knew it was just going to get worse and worse. But what could she do? StarClan, bring Flame and the others home soon! She put up a brave face in front of the Clan, because she couldn't go weak on them now, but here in the deep forest, with only Thornclaw at her side, she finally let go of her tightly held emotions. Her eyes became bottomless pits of misery, brimming with the pain the sickness was causing her. "Oh, Thornclaw...what do I do?"

He watched as Whisperwind seemed to suddenly age with exhaustion. His eyes flicker with shock for half a second, but he quickly recovered his composure. He took a deep breathe and said, "Well for starters, you should definately not let the rest of the clan see you like this. It will only make them panic, which you definatly cannot afford. However, I do think that you should inform the Clan that you are sick. If you don't, it could lessen their trust in you. But I don't know the best way to announce it without starting pandimonium. But you should definately tell them. But you're also going to have to decide who will lead if you become too sick to continue. But don't worry about that now; just worry about how to inform your Clan."

Whisperwind thought of what the Clan would think and gave a dry, humorless laugh. A sudden coughing fit seized her and she couldn't breathe for long heartbeats, struggling for control. At last, breathing heavily, she rasped, "I know how to tell them."

Stormpaw raced up to Whisperwind. "Whisper, can I talk to you for a minute? Alone?"

Whisperwind immediately straightened up and hid her emotions as best she could. Her voice was still raw from the coughing, but she flicked her tail to dismiss it. "Yes, Stormpaw, what is it?"

Stormpaw leaned up, and whispered in Whisperwind's ear: "I know you have the sickness. I'm beginning to get it, too."

(Well I told Skypaw awhile ago I'd be a sick cat, but then I was a kit so I waited, and then with Fallenleaf, yeah. I wanted to have a sick cat. And I dunno'. I could change the knowing part if you want. Sorry I'm messing up posts like crazy tonight. I'm sick and tired in real too. XD)

((not literally. i meant her character. well, i was going to make an announcement to the Clan. but maybe...you could've seen me tell Thorn and then told the rest of the Clan...? I dunno. Whatever it's fine.))
Whisperwind stared, taken aback? "You know?" and then the rest of Stormpaw's words got through. "You're sick?!" Alarm shot through her. No. Not Stormpaw, too. Not her apprentice.

"I didn't really know you were sick," she admitted. "I overheard you talking to Thornclaw. And yeah, I'm sick."

He turns to Stormpaw. "What?!? You're sick too?!?" No, no, no! He flicks his tail angrily.

Whisperwind's eyes blazed with a strange fury. "Why?!" she yowled suddenly, tipping her head to the sky. "Why are you doing this to us, StarClan? What have we done to deserve this?"

"Yeah, I'm sick too," Stormpaw said, lowering her ears and wrapping her tail over her paws, sitting down.
