Specklestripe stared into Lioneyes eyes, clearly not seeing him. Here is goes again.. He hated having flashbacks, they came up at the worst moments. How he wished he could stop them, but they came without hesitation. 'Do you want me to get the medicine cat?' he heard Lioneyes say. His voice sounded distant, as is he were talking from a far away mountain. 'No, no medicine cat.' he mumbled inaudibly. He looked up, ears pricked as he saw his sister, Snowshoe, and him running and playing in the field. He tensed as he saw and remembered. Next, the terrible arguement, Snowshoe's hurt and anger, his own hurt and anger... all because of KangorooClan. He blinked and let out the breath that he had been holding, instantly everything vanished and he was back in the forest with Lioneyes and Rosethorn. He looked at them blankly before collapsing onto the ground.

"Specklestripe? Specklestripe!!" Rosethorn gasped. She towered over the fallen cat's body. "Wake up!" She whispered in a panic. "Specklestripe! Are you okay? Please don't die!" She said franticly.

Specklestripe's eyes cracked open as he heard frantic meows. 'I...I'm fine, just, uh, got a little dizzy for a moment.' he shoved himself to his paws and put his ears back in irritation of his memories that had flooded his mind. He shook his head to disperse them, and succeeded in chasing them away this time. He trembled a little, and he felt short of breath also. He shook himself, trying to get himself back to normal.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Rosethorn was still concerned for Specklestripe. His face had been distorted with pain and sorrow, and Rosethorn's heart lurched for him.

Specklestripe only nodded as he tried to take control of himself again. His eyes still had a strange wistful look about them, but also a tinge on fear and pain, and maybe some anger mixed in. His eyes were the only thing that gave him away though. He had managed to pull himself together and was no longer trembling, and his breath came easier now also.

Rosethorn and Lionheart exchanged glances. "Algright then." Lioneyes mewed, sitting down again and motioning Rosethorn to also. Rosethorn nodded and sat down, licking her forepaw and trying to hide her anxiety.

Specklestripe managed a small laugh. 'Must have eaten an old mouse or something.' he smiled a little and looked back at the ground, trying to remember what they had been talking about before he had messed up the conversation. Water he finally remembered. 'So... you like to swim a lot?' he asked, looking back up at Rosethorn.

Rosethorn nodded. "Yes, I do." She said. "I like to feel the water swirl around my fur." She unconsciously smiled and ruffled her fur happily.

Specklestripe nodded and smiled. 'I like the feel of swimming under the water, it feels so good to have water pressing on from every side and to just be able to do whatever you want. You can twist and flip and whatever and not have to worry about falling on your head.'

Specklestripe smiled. 'That's the best description I've heard. It is a pretty hard to describe thing.' He half closed his eyes. 'Flying through water.' he mumbled. He liked the sound of it, it sounded nice and it was nice. It was like flying.

Lioneyes grinned. That sounds about right... He thought. He smiled at his daughter. Then he looked at Specklestripe and wondered what had happened earlier.

Specklestripe noticed Lioneyes's inquisitive look and put his head to the side. 'Something wrong?' he asked curiously. He clearly had no idea what was wrong, and was curious to know what was wrong, that was just him, he always needed to know what was going on.

Lioneyes looked up. "Huh? Oh, sorry..I guess I was kinda zoning out there..." He mewed sheepishly, scuffing the ground with his orange paws.

Specklestripe smile. 'I know how that is.' He twitched his short tail licked at his chest fur for a moment and then yawned and looked up at the sky with his golden eyes. 'It's getting a little late.' he commented casually. He didn't really mind it getting late, he like the coolness of the evening.
