Fawnkit walked into the medicine cats den holding one f her forepaws gingerly in the air. "Hello?" she called. "Anyone here? I have a thorn in my pad and it hurts" she wimpered a bit hoping someone would come soon.

Forestbreak emerged from her nest, her tail swishing back and forth. "A thorn in your pad, huh? They can hurt pretty badly," she agreed. "I can just pull it right out- it might sting a little bit, but it'll make you feel a lot better in the long run." Just in case, the medicine cat grabbed some marigold to prevent infection.
"All right. Now, just hold your paw up, and I can take the thorn out," she told the kit, smiling.

"Okay" she said nervously, and did as Forestbreak asked and held out her paw. She squeezed her eyes shut and tensed waiting for the medicine cat to take out the thorn.

Forestbreak fastened her teeth onto the thorn and swiftly pulled it out, then set it down carefully in a small crack in the wall, where no one else would be able to step on it. "There you go," she purred. Next, the medicine cat began chewing a bit of marigold into a poultice and started applying it to the kit's paw.
"That's so your paw doesn't get infected," she told her, smiling kindly.

"Ow!" Fawnkit yowled as Forestbreak pulled out the thorn. She saw Forestbreak chewing up an herb. "Okay" she responded to the medicine cat. She was relieved that it shouldn't be infected once the herb was applied.

"There you go. That's better, isn't it?" she purred. "Just go a little easy on that paw for a little while, and you'll be fine," mewed the medicine cat. "You can still play, but don't go rubbing your paw against everything and getting the herbs off."
Purring, Forestbreak retreated to her nest. "Goodbye. I hope your paw feels better soon."

"Thanks Forestbreak!" she meowed thanking the medicine cat. She padded out of the den making sure to go lightly on the one paw that had the thorn pulled out.

Forestbreak watched as the kit left the den, then placed her chin in her paws and closed her eyes. Another cat healed, she thought to herself, smiling softly.
