  Pigeonpaw's eyelids lifted a few times before shutting once more, his body still sluggish with exhaustion. A shiver rippled through him, however, causing him to lift them completely and observe his surroundings. It took a moment for him to realize the distinct difference. Darkness seemingly beclouded his vision, and an eerie silence tinged the atmosphere. Pigeonpaw forced himself to stand, his paws quivering slightly. His voice was caged within his throat, chills nipping at his body. "What is this? A dream, must be. Must be.." Pigeonpaw mentally reassured himself. He felt entirely alone, yet also felt like a thousand gazes scorched his pelt. It was an odd feeling to describe really, as if darkness itself had become a place.

Glowing green eyes peered out from the shadows. The owner of the eyes was seemingly invisible, could it be a shadow? Or perhaps a ghostly ancestor. "Hello Pigeonpaw." A voice purred a few heartbeats later as a silky black figure withdrew itself from the melancholic landscape. The owner of the voice and glowing eyes was a large, long haired black tom with a large scar on his face. He had the faint scent of MidnightClan clinging to his pelt, but it had been long washed over by the scent of death and darkness.
"Fear not, young one. You are dreaming. Though that does not make this place nor its inhabitants any less real." The tom cat's voice was smooth, comforting almost, though his words had a chilling undertone. The large cat began to slowly pace around the dreaming apprentice, his very figure seeming to carry the shadows of this place of no stars. He was no starry ancestor, but he wasn't about to tell all his secrets to this young cat just yet.

"Hello Pigeonpaw."
  Pigeonpaw's heart slammed within his throat, fear captivating his very body. He, however, stood nonchalantly, forcing the shaky view of his paws to cease. His eyes were still glazed over with undeniable terror. Pigeonpaw examined the tom, pondering what to say next, before said tom spoke again. His words shook through Pigeonpaw's ears, the eerie tone of his voice somewhat unsettling. "So it is a dream.." Pigeonpaw confirmed within his conscience.

  After a few moments, Pigeonpaw opened his jaws. "You know me, kit? And I'm not afraid." Pigeonpaw spat, the last part of it causing his voice to crack ridiculously. He was afraid. but he would never, ever let his dignity go. "I'd never lower myself to the rank of a 'dream-cat.'" Pigeonpaw snapped mentally, both portions of him working within the realm of narcissism.

The dark tom's bulky form shook with laughter, whether it was sincere or mocking was hard to tell. "Oh, aren't you? You have spirit, I'll give you that much." His tone seemed to drip with a silky edge, emerald green eyes boring into Pigeonpaw. "Do you know where you are, oh brave warrior?" His mew ended with a sarcasm laced chuckle as he sat in front of the young cat.

"My name is Ravenfrost, and you are among friends and Clanmates even as you walk these skies." The tom, now identified as Ravenfrost, flicked his feathery black tail around his large paws and tilted his head slightly to the side. "Though I wonder, what is it in you that caused the shadows to call for you?" The black cat muttered quietly to himself, barely audible to Pigeonpaw.

  Pigeonpaw hissed under his breath at Ravenfrost's laughter, his paws beginning to shiver once more. He sat down briskly, claws nipping at the darkened soil. "Where I am.. No. I don't." Pigeonpaw growled slightly, his voice still containing a bit of hoarseness. "Friends? You honestly think I'd become friends with one of.. you." Pigeonpaw snapped. "Friend? I'd like a friend." He spoke with warmth, mentally. Once again, his mind and his physical body were beginning to react differently.

  Pigeonpaw's ears twitched with sensitivity, taking in a bit of what Ravenfrost had said. He did not answer, but rather stared intently at his own paws. He simplistically did not know how to respond, his mind now blank.
