    [[I would prefer a talkative, or at least tolerant medicine cat/apprentice, if there is one. :) My kitten is not TC-born, and is going to be quite inquisitive about the job as she's getting patched up. Thank you.]]


    The two best friends, grey and white, ying and yang, hobbled on shaky, exhausted legs towards the medicine den. Well, Jadekit *hoped* it was the medicine den; she had never been inside, but the strange smells coming from the direction led her pink nose that way.


    The 4-moon old Jadekit was trying to help hold up Freedomkit as she walked. Her slightly older and stronger friend had done most of the fighting against the fox cub, but Jadekit wasn't sure she was helping much because of her own limp. [glow=red,2,300]Her left paw had gotten stuck somewhere during all the drama, perhaps in the tree, and had gotten over-extended[/glow] when she went to pull it out. It hurt, but if the grey kitten didn't put too much weight on it, it wasn't unbearable.


    "Hang on Freedomkit; we're almost there," Jadekit said to her dust-covered white friend. They were both filthy from the scuffle with the red fox, but Jadekit had gotten away with just a few bruises and scrapes. There was no telling how beat up her friend was... They were both exhausted, the grey tabby knew that for certain! Hopefully there was something to [glow=red,2,300]help them regain their normal strength[/glow]...


    When they reached the entrance of the medicine den, Jadekit tried to gently help Freedomkit to the floor, but it was a rough landing. "Excuse me?" she meowed as r tone; she was deeply worried for her friend. "How do we go about getting help here? Please?" Jadekit fumbled her words, because having been born an orphan in the loner lands and then adopted by ThunderClan only a moon ago, she had no clue how the medicine den, or healing cats, or their ways worked.


    The grey kitten sat down and her reflexes made her tail twitch with anxiety, but apparently there was a [glow=red,2,300]moderate gash on her tail[/glow], for it sent a wave of pain up her body. She grimaced, but made no sound as she waited for any cat to answer her.

    Hazelflower the medicince cat came out of the darkness with herbs in her mouth and set down the herbs and asked "Whats the problem?"

    Jadekit got to her paws and weakly smiled with happiness when a sweet-looking cat replied to her pleas for help.


    "Oh, thank you, thank you," the grey kitten gushed with happiness. Jadekit limped closer to Hazelflower and held out her left paw as she answered, "We were both in a fight with a beast, and ... and... my paw really hurts." She bent her head to lick the claw over-extended claw, and added, "Right there." Then she turned her grey head to look at her rump, and added sheepishly, "And my tail... It stings when I move it, for some reason."


    "You must know EVERYTHING to have gotten this job! Is it a lot of work?" Jadekit asked curiously as she waited for the response.

    "It is a lot of work but anyways...." Hazelflower looked at jadekit and said :Is it ok if i feel your paw and tail?"

    "Of course. ... You know best," Being a former "outsider", Jadekit was mystified and literally starry-eyed with the whole concept and status of medicine cats, so she assumed they had as much power and deserved as much respect as any other high position. If she had had more energy, she would have been bouncing up and down with excitement. Instead, she held out her grey left paw to Hazelflower.


    "I must seem like such a whiny baby; I'm sorry. I've just never had much boo-boos before now," she explained sheepishly to the pretty female.

    Hazelflower gently squeezed jadekit's tail and paw
    "OK I know whts wrong you sprained you foot and your tail is broken..."Hazelflower turned around and turned back with herbs in her mouth and said "here eat this feverfew and the pain will go away
    Ooc:i know the herbs from this site http://warriors.wikia.com/wiki/Medicine

    Freedomkit gasped, every step a blinding pain. She collapsed onto the ground right after they made it to the medicine cat den, eyes closing and the wound hurting her even further. That fox had done her good alright. "Jadekit," she whispered, "Just take care of yourself," she said, slipping into unconsciousness.

    Hey Snowwhisper :)


    Minty here with a short staff message concerning your post above :D


    Remember not to play Thunderclan's medicine cat, even if your not trying too. Your cat can't have herb knowlege unless he/she was trained IC, then we would need to see proof of that thread :D


    But, you can't play a medicine cat in Thunderclan, it already has several members playing them :D


    If you have anymore questions, feel free to PM me :D

    [justify]There was a heavy, uncharacteristic frown on Chimingkit's face as she returned the medicine den to find somebody else doing her job. "Hey!" She meowed sharply, though not nastily. "Save that for the medicine cats!" Chimingkit didn't particularly mind if cats came in and administered treatment if there was nobody there... but she doubted Moxieflame would like it, and it made her nervous to find someone with no training to be handing out herbs. Chimingkit had only just become a medicine cat apprentice, but her mother had taught her, and the rest of her littermates, herbs when they had been younger.


    Chimingkit was interrupted before she could say anything more by a soft whisper from behind, followed by a small thud as whoever it was hit the ground. Gasping, Chimingkit turned and raced to Freedomkit's side.


    OOC| What are her injuries?[/justify]

    [[Can Jadekit please get re-examined since the imposter diagnosed a scratch / cut on her tail as a broken tail?


    And sorry, you'll have to wait for mockingdove to explain Freedomkit's problems...]]


    Jadekit turned to the new, commanding voice and found a kit near her own size. She smiled, but it turned to a confused look when the meaning of the sentence hit her.


    The grey tabby twitched her tail out of habit again, and grimaced as the cut opened and closed, again. But she shook her head and rushed over to Freedomkit's side, near Chimingkit. "Please help her! A red beast trapped us, and Freedomkit got hit hard, and then flew against a rock, trying to hit it, and... and... and... I don't think she's going to make it," Jadekit rattled on in a near panic only stopping to take a breath in.

    OOC: She has a claw wound, as well as a wound induced by the rock she fell on.




    IC:


    Freedomkit groaned, the wound on her flank and her back hurting more intensely as the world shifted from dark to light, from light to dark. The white kitten was helpless as pain engulfed her.

    Jadekit's panicked state was rather overwhelming. Chimingkit was still unused to her gift. Very faint, controlled emotions that were kept on a tight leash were nothing. Those she could ignore with almost practised ease. But strong emotions such anger and fear weren't something she was used to yet. There was something about feeling another's fear that the chocolate mink couldn't quite break free of.


    Giving her head a firm shake, the medicine cat apprentice turned to Jadekit. "I need you to lay over in an empty nest. I'll get to you afterward." Freedomkit was obviously in need of medical care more than Jadekit was.


    After a moment's hesitation, Chimingkit added, "And don't worry. Everything will be fine. Just calm down and-" Actually, there was an idea. She fell silent for a brief moment to continue assessing the state of Freedomkit, before she turned and loped to where the herbs were kept. When she returned, Chimingkit's jaws were weighed down with various herbs. One of them she dropped at Jadekit's paws. "Here, eat that. It's lavender, and will calm you down." She really didn't need someone panicking in the midst of trying to help someone.


    Again she turned back the other she-kit. Using a large bundle of cobwebs, Chimingkit pressed them to the open gash that was still trickling a profuse amount of blood. Biting at her lip, the medicine cat apprentice cast a quick glance over her shoulder. She wished her sister was there, or Ladykit or Moxieflame. She felt more sure of herself in their presence.

    Freedomkit felt something on her gash and groaned, though it gave away to mild relief as the cobwebs were applied. She felt so faint and helpless for the first time in moons.

    Jadekit nodded rapidly in understanding and agreement, but concern and uncertainty were still in her eyes. Without a sound, the grey kitten hobbled over to a depression lined with soft feathers and moss and lay down. She was careful to be aware of where her tail was at all times, because she knew laying on it would only make the gash hurt more.


    The grey tabby twirled around and gently came to rest in the nest, but quickly oriented herself so that she could watch Chimmingkit and Freedomkit with her green eyes. Her head stayed up and alert the whole time. She wondered what the apprentice would do next for her friend.

    [justify]Ladypaw padded forward, her tail flicking back and forth. As soon as she saw Chimingkit, she let out a small squeal and hurried forward. "Hey Chimmy Chong." She murmured softly, glancing over at the patients. "Need any help?" She asked her fellow Medicine Cat Apprentice. Ladypaw watched as Jadekit made her way over to a nest and then back to Freedomkit and Chimingkit.


    "I'll deal with her." She commented to Chimingkit, grabbing some cobwebs and marigold to deal with Jadekit's tail wound. Once she made it to beside her, she set them down and glanced at her tail. "What happened?" The white medicine cat apprentice questioned her. The wound wasn't too serious and thankfully wasn't life threatening so Ladypaw was able to briefly question the patient as she began to work on fixing the herb up.


    Only a moment later did she recall what had happened, she head came to the rescue to help when the panic and distress calls were crazy. "Why were you outside of the nursery to begin with?" She asked, of course she wasn't one to scold because Ladypaw knew, only all too well, what it was like to have the need to be out of camp and explore. Especially when there were zombies and zoomies and fairies to catch![/justify]

    At Ladypaw's approach, Freedomkit blinked, trying to focus on her. "Why were you outside of the nursery to begin with?" were the only words she heard and she gulped, knowing she could never give away her friend's secret.

    The grey tabby's ears pulled tight together as another, older-looking cat came close. This one seemed gentle and was making conversation; yay!


    Jadekit held as still as she could while the apprentice worked, but she couldn't help squirming a bit. After a bit, she answered, "We were inside the camp, not outside. We got out of the nursery all the time; everybody does." Her green eyes blinked innocently.


    "Anyway," Jadekit continued, grimacing a little as the gash on her tail was moved. "A... a... I think Freedomkit called it a 'fox cub'..." Poor kit didn't know much at all.


    She gulped down a bit of fear as she recalled the confrontation and continued, "It got into camp and cornered us where we were playing near the outskirts of the camp! Freedomkit was so brave and fought it head on while I climbed a tree. Then the cub hit her hard and she landed against the rock and... and... now she's almost dead."


    Jadekit's voice rose in near panic as she finished her story, and tears started forming in her green eyes again. But she sniffled, swalloed the tears, and added, "And while I was trying to drag her near-dead body into the tree with me, the fox nipped my tail..."


    She dipped her head, putting her nose under a front paw to comfort herself, then looked up straight into Ladypaw's eyes and pleaded, "Please don't let my best friend die. She... she saved me from that thing."

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    yeah I wanna know you inside out, i'll spend my life trying to figure you out
    just close your eyes and shut your mouth and let me kiss you inside out
    i don't care if you steal all my air,we can breath in together as one
    it's all right if you're here every night, waking up with you in the sun
    we start with an hour and we find we waste the day
    kicking back with the love we found

    [fancypost borderwidth=0px; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10px; text-align: justify; width: 480px;]Chimingkit couldn't help but flinch at the sound of Freedomkit's pained groan. She hated being the source of another cat's pain. It was one of the reasons she was so glad Moxieflame had chosen her as her apprentice. Now she didn't have to worry about becoming a warrior and being forced into fighting battles she didn't want to fight.


    The chocolate mink eased up on the pressure of the cobwebs so she could lift them and get a look at the wound. Now that the blood was cleared away from the ugly gash, Chimingkit could get a better view of what she was dealing with. Her pale eyes, which had previously been narrowed in concentration, brightened at the sight of her adoptive sister. Chimingkit said nothing in return, however. She dipped her head in a short nod, then turned her eyes back to Freedomkit. "Can you eat a couple of these for me?" Chimingkit whispered. Using a forepaw she pushed forward several tiny poppy seeds. "They'll help with the pain."


    Hearing Jadekit's mention a fox cub, Chimingkit stiffened. How had a fox gotten into the camp unseen by whoever was standing guard? Sorrelstar wasn't going to be happy to hear about that. "She's not going to die." Chimingkit spoke in a firm, reassuring tone. She was trying to reassure both herself and Jadekit, although she wouldn't have admitted she was afraid to anybody. She refused to lose a patient this early on into her duties as medicine cat apprentice. She couldn't![/fancypost]

    Freedomkit feebly licked the seeds, easing the pain and making her quite drowsy. She didn't want to fall asleep, in fear that she would die so she forced her eyelids open.

    The grey-she kit slightly rose out of the nest to see if Freedomkit would be able to eat the seeds... And she did! Hope returned to Jadekit's green eyes, but the kitten was still very scared.


    She turned back to her caretaker and asked politely, "Ladypaw, can-- can we talk about something else to help me not think about my friend's pain?" As usual, Jadekit didn't wait for an answer before firing her barrage of questions. "What's it like being a medicine cat? Do you do this," here the grey tabby flicked an ear towards Freedomkit and Chimingkit. "all day? Worry about cats all day long as you try to help them? Is it hard?..."


    Having not grown up in a clan, Jadekit never knew there was a whole other side / mission to being a medicine cat and walking with their ancestors.
