An injured apprentice (Cherrypaw, medicine cats)

[Spiritbreeze]

Spiritbreeze padded into the medicine cat den and put Cherrypaw down gently in a little nest that was there. She looked around for Brightflame or Waterheart. She licked her apprentice's cheek to wake her up.

Cherrypaw had passed out from pain. She woke up in a strange den she had always wanted to explore, but not like this. Her beak-wound started throbbing, and she remembered something, "what about the fish and birds we caught?" she coughed.

[Spiritbreeze]

I got them already, she mouthed to Cherrypaw. She didn't know how to call for the medicine cats except to howl. She started howling at the top of her lungs hoping they would come soon.

Cherrypaw tried to get up, bad idea, because the moss prodded her in just the spot on her wound. "AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she yowled in pain, the trees outside shook. Tears filled her eyes, she couldn't do anything right. She messed up everything and she hurt more now. She buried her head into the nest and started crying. She didn't care if her friends saw her. She was not a crybaby, but people cry once in a while.

[Brightflame]

(Bleh. I'm obviously the only active Medicine Cat in this den.)
I rush into the main den, my jaws filled with Marigold. I spit the plants onto the ground, "DON'T MOVE!!!" I shout, rushing over to Spiritbreeze, "Can you do your best to...communicate what happened?" I ask.

[cherrysplash]

Cherrypaw looked up. Her whole face was wet. She saw a medicine cat coming towards her with something in his jaws. She froze. "What's that?" she asked. He asked what happened, she looked at Spiritbreeze.

[Brightflame]

I look down at you, "Marigold. It helps stop infections. Now I swear that if you move again before I can help you, I'm going to make you sleep on the floor." I say sternly, a glimmer of my usual humorous self in my eyes.

Cherrypaw froze again. Tears still ran down her cheek, but she froze. Her wound was getting numb, and the dried blood was making her itchy, but she did not move. She tried to keep her breathing low enough so not to interrupt Brightflame's working.

[Spiritbreeze]

Spiritbreeze froze and hestitated for a second. She drew in the dirt a tree and then a branch sticking out with a bird on it. She drew Cherrypaw on the branch and her killing the bird and then the branch breaking and falling to the ground. In another picture she drew the bird's beak going into the side of Cherrypaw. She looked up at Brightflame seeing if any of that made any sense at all. She licked Cherrypaw's head trying to calm her down.

[Brightflame]

I nod and smile, resting my taiil reassuringly on your shoulder, "Thank you." I say quietly before hurriedly starting to work on Cherrypaw's wound.

[cherrysplash]

Cherrypaw tried her best to stay very still.

[Brightflame]

I finish placing the final herbs and cobwebs, then smile warmly and rest my tail on your shoulder "You're going to be fine. You won't be able to train or hunt until it's completely healed, and you'll need to stay here for a few days. Also, there won't be a scar, so you don't have to worry about that." I nose two poppy seeds towards you, "You should rest...and you can move now." I add the last part humorously.

[cherrysplash]

Cherrypaw relaxed and rested her head on the moss. "Thank you." she breathed. She licked up the poppy seeds and twisted around to look at her wound. It was covered in cobwebs and marigold. She rested her head down on the moss again and fell asleep.

[Spiritbreeze]

Spiritbreeze mouthed a thank you to Brightflame. She rubbed her tail a Lon the spine of Cherrypaw and purred softly watching her little sister sleep comfortably.
