"Calm down," Screechpaw nuzzled Windwistle until his breathing slowed down. "I'm sorry... I've already lost his mother. I don't want to lose him too."
Sneezepaw felt someone licking him, but it felt distant as though it wasn't actually happening. Which it was. He tried to open his eyes but they stayed clamped shut. He wantes to yowl in fustration, but he couldn't.
Brushtail called for the medicine cat.
srry i've been gone. had school and stuff and got grounded.
IC: Wintertail woke up. She saw a dead fox and a panicked clan. I'm such a stupid piece of fox-dung! I must of passed out after i left! She got and limped to the medicine den. her leg was throbbing furiously. She walked through the torn clothe that blocked the entrance and mewed," Hey Lilywater. You think you can st-" She gasped as she saw Sneezepaw covered in blood. "What happened? Did that fox hurt him?" she padded to him and started to lick around his flank.
"The fox..." mewed Brushtail sadly, licking the apprentice.
Sneezepaw growled in his head. Why couldn't he move?
Screechpaw got some freshkill and took it to the medicine den. "Thought you'd be hungry," he mewed. "How's Sneezepaw?"
"I'm not sure," mewed Brushtail accepting the piece of fresh kill.
Screechpaw bent down and sniffed at his denmate. "It seems that he's awake. In his superconcious mind."
"How can we help him?" whimpered Brushtail.
Screechpaw shrugged. "Dunno. Wait until his body wakes up, I suppose."
Brushtail gave Sneezepaw another lick and stood up. "I should probably go apologize to Windwistle for not listening to him."
Winterclaw stomach growled. She hasn't eaten since morning." I'll go get some fresh-kill and come back..." She went to get some and forgot that her paw was broken. She put a lot of pressure on it and heard a sickening crack. She yowled and collasped on the medicine den floor. The bone was sticking out of her paw and was infected. Puss and blood was everywhere. Winterclaw screeched like a fox getting its tail yanked off.
Brushtail rushed to her and yelped, "Winterclaw! My goodness, let me get you inside!"
Windwistle heard the yowl and scrambled out. "Who's invading?" He screeched, fur puffed out, eyes wild. Then he saw Winterclaw. "Oh, my starclan!" He rushed over to her. "Where is the medicine cat?"
Sneezepaw heard the yowling, and anger surged deep in his belly. He wanted to help- he had to! But he couldn't. Why?!
Screechpaw's ears pricked up in alarm. "Duskpaw!" When his brother ran to his side, he ordered, "Stay with Sneezepaw. He could vomit and choke, or even wake up. Make sure he stays safe," and he dashed out without waiting for an answer. "What happened?" The young cat meowed.
"Winterclaw's hurt! Someone get the medicine cat!" meowed Brushtail, looking at the new arrivals.
OOC: can someone else play the med cat? I already have 4 cats
'IC: Duskpaw watched Sneezepaw, imagining the pain Winterclaw must be in. "Stupid fox," he snarled under his breath. "What did we ever do to it? Why, if it were still alive I'd shred it to an inch of it's life, and leave it to suffer." He drew his white claws out, contrasting with his black paws. His emerald eyes glittered with fury.
Ooc: Kay, what's the med cat's name?
OOC: Med cat:Waterlily and apprentice is Mistpaw
IC: Waterlily ran over to Wintertail." Mistpaw come over here and grab her flank!" She picked her up by her neck scruff and Mistpaw grabbed the fur on her flank. They hauled her over to the biggest piece of moss. "Mistpaw! Get a lot of poppyseeds for the pain. Oh Starclan please don't let her die!" Waterlily grabbed the cobwebs and pushed them down onto the leg. They soaked up like a sponge and Waterlily Could taste the blood. She spat it out and saw Mistpaw bring the poppyseeds. "Gently put four into her mouth." Mistpaw gasped," four? Won't that knock her out?" Waterlily looked at her," That's what i'm hoping." Mistpaw put the poppyseeds into her mouth.
Brushtail mewed and sat by Winterclaw.
Duskpaw watched worriedly. The prickly apprentice was comforted when his brother sat beside him, his white pelt contrasting with Duskpaw's black. Screechpaw layed his head on his gray forepaws and murmered, "Only the medicine cats can do anything."
"And then Starclan," Duskpaw's green eyes met with Screechpaw's yellow ones.
Brushtail looked at the two young cats and mewed, "Just keep hoping Winterclaw will survive."
