Maple looked down at her whimpering sister. Maple felt helpless as she couldn't hunt for Luna and she didn't know what kind of medicine to give her. She licked Luna in between her ears. Maple stood and tried to shake the coldness from her tortoiseshell fur. "I wish someone would come and rescue us," thought Maple.

Bump
-
Dotpaw was gathering herbs when she heard the whimper. She trotted over and saw the kits. "Oh no! Whats wrong?"
OOC: I have a dog named Luna!
-
OOC: I absolutely love the name!
IC: "My sister is really sick! She won't eat, she coughs a lot, and has a fever," said Maple, relieved that someone would finally help them.
-
Dotpaw frowned. "Hm. Can I see her?"
OOC: What does she have?
-
OOC: Greencough
Maple had been standing over Luna protectively but now she moved to the side so that the tom could see her. Luna's snow white coat rose and fell rapidly as she fought the illness.
-
OOC: Okay, thanks!
Dotpaw sniffed Luna and checked her temperature. "It looks like greencough. I'll be right back." Dotpaw went of and fetched some catmint and honey. She came back. "Here," she said. "I'm going to dip this catmint," she held up the catmint, "In this honey. Honey doesn't necessarily heal, but it DOES taste good, and makes herbs easier to swallow." she dipped the catmint in honey and approached Luna. "Here little kit, can you eat this for me?" she tried to keep her voice calm to make sure Luna didn't realize how sick she was and panic.
-
Maple thought for a minute. "Um...maybe. I think it was over there." She pointed with her tail to a some green stalks under a hollybush about 8 feet away..
-
Dotpaw nodded. "Thank you. Can you get some? I might need some more."
-
Maple nodded and padded over to the clump of herbs. She grabbed a few stalks into her mouth and bit it off. The aroma and taste made her mouth water but she told herself it was for Luna. She bounded back over to the tom and her sister and set the catmint down.
-
"Thank you." Dotpaw nodded to Maple. "Luna..." she coaxed. "Come on and eat the herbs, okay? They taste really yummy!"
-
Luna looked up to the she-cat and nodded. She took some of the catmint leaves into her mouth, chewed and swallowed.
-
Dotpaw purred in relief. "Thank you."
-
Luna calmed her breathing down just a little bit to a slower pace. Maple looked at Dotpaw. "Where did you learn that?" she asked, curious.
-
Dotpaw gave a small laugh. "Oh, I'm the medicine cat apprentice. There are actually three apprentices, though. I'm the newest one."
-
Maple looked at him more confused then ever. "You live with other cats? How many?" she asked.
-
She smiled. "Tons! There's my mentor, Tailspin. Our leader, Brimstar. My aunt, Snakefang. And tons more!"
-
"Wow, where do you guys live? I haven't seen any other cats around here." replied Maple. "They have odd names," she thought
-
"See that weird shaped rock?" Dotpaw pointed to a twisted rock. "Past there, there's a big raving, and in the ravine there's a clearing. Are camp is in the clearing."
-
Maple looked to where she was pointing. She wondered how she didn't stumble upon it before. "Do they, um, accept outsiders?" asked Maple nervously. What they had sounded very welcoming and happy unlike the life of a loner.
