I'm not usually afraid of the dark. No, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm a very strong and brave she-cat! My father is the leader of Moonclan for Starclan's sake. I have to be brave. I am super brave.

Except that night. I was sleeping, and dreaming about playing in a field of flowers with my sisters. It was a nice dream, but for some reason, it got really dark. The flowers died, and my sisters disappeared. I was left alone, and it started raining. I don't mind the rain, usually. But this rain wasn't water. It was red, and the clouds were black. It thundered, and I woke up.

Laying in my nest, the one I shared with my twin, I stared at the ceiling of our den. It took a long time for my breathing to calm down, and become a somewhat steady rhythm again. But once I felt like my heart wasn't going to jump out of my chest, I decided to try to go back to sleep.

Only I couldn't. Every time I closed my eyes, I felt my heartbeat start to race again. It was like when I was a kit, and I had nightmares that scared me so bad, I couldn't go back to sleep. It was happening again. Only this time, I wasn't sure what my nightmare meant. And I didn't wake up screaming. Which was a good thing, considering I knew that Vixenfire would probably freak out if I did.

But as the fear started to creep over me, I decided to leave my nest. The only cat who knew how to make me feel better, was my daddy. I needed to get to him.

I practically bolted across the clearing of camp. It was so dark out and I.. well, I was scared. I had to slow myself down when I neared the leader's den, so I wouldn't go crashing into the hole in the ground.

I ducked my head in, and allowed my eyes to adjust to the sudden.. darkness. My fur was prickling on end, and I could feel my heart hurting with it's pounding.

I found my daddy rather quickly, and made my way over to him. Right as I got to him, I stopped. He was covered in kittens. Literally. Windkit and Scalekit were both sleeping on top of him, like he was their nest. Silkkit was curled up between his paws, and Thymekit was on his tail. Falconkit was sleeping snugly against mama, tucked under her chin.

They all looked so peaceful. I didn't want to disturb them.

I turned to leave.

"Momo?"

I glanced back, to see Windkit's little face looking back at me. I smiled, unable to feel upset when I saw their big bright eyes. They mewed, yawning, then hopped off of daddy. They padded up to me, and rubbed against my legs, nuzzling me, "What are you doing here? Are you gonna sleep with us?" my little sibling asked. I hesitated, "Well, it looks crowded in here," I started.

They shook their head at me, "No it's not, come here. There's always room for you!" They bounded away, hopping back into the nest, and pushing Falconkit over- who grunted his displeasure in his sleep. Windkit then squeaked, motioning for me to come over. I padded closer, not wanting to wake anyone else up, "No Windkit, it's okay. I'll go back to Vixenfire."

They once again shook their head. After a moment, I heard mama purr, her pretty green eyes opening. She didn't notice me at first, but sat up and licked the top of Windkit's head- who purred in return. They pipped up, "Mama, Momo want's to sleep with us. I was trying to make room, but you're in the way."

My mama looked up at me, smiling when she realized I was there. I could tell she was still sleepy. Standing up, she readjusted herself in the nest, moving Falconkit and Windkit as well. She laid back down, yawning. I crawled into the nest with her, snuggling against her like when I was a kit. She didn't even need to say anything, but I knew she was happy that I was there.

I felt safe again. Nuzzled against my mama, with Windkit forcing their way against my chest, purring loudly.

Safe with my family, maybe I could then have good dreams.

Good dreams, about playing in fields of flowers.
Just practicing first person with Momo a little~ I think this is cute, though I'm sure there are many writing mistakes here. I'm not used to writing first person, so it comes out a bit oddly with me. I'll work on it though~

Anyways, Momo used to have nightmares as a kit, but they went away in her apprentice moons. Now that she's a warrior, she's having them again, usually about her being left alone for some reason or another. It's basically her subconscious fear that she'll lose everyone she care's about, mainly her sister Vixenfire.

Also, I wanted to write about family cuddles <3 And Windkit is such a sweetie omg <3
