NullPointException in Prompter Class - TreeStory2

I can't find the source of this NPE. My code seems to pass the first few test cases before throwing the exception. Here is the error as shown in the console.

We are going to do a mad lib. Surround wordsYou want to replace with __ like so (noun) Give me a word to replace first prompt PASS_1 is not a legal word. Please try again dweeb is not a legal word.

#  This is essentially what I am testing 
1.  The user is prompted for a new string template (the one with the double underscores in it).

  a. The prompter class has a new method that prompts for the story template, and that method is called.

2.  The user is then prompted for each word that has been double underscored.

   a. The answer is checked to see if it is contained in the censored words.
      User is continually prompted until they enter a valid word

3.  The user is presented with the completed story
