Needed Treatment

[Cloverstar]

(For Sunblaze, Flamepath, and Lyricwhisper.)

Her balancing probably needed work, but it was all Cloverstar could do to keep from accidentally pushing Lyric over in her current condition. She took a breath as they arrived at the medicine den, moving forward only slightly to look in through the entrance.

"Sunblaze?" she called. "Are you there? We need some help."

[Sunblaze]

"Yes, Yes. I am here" She called from inside the den, she had been cleaning a few of the more recently used beds. Adding fresh moss and leaves."Come in Cloverstar." she had identified it was the newest leader by the sound of her meow and was starting to reconize the light, flighty sound of her footsteps.

[Lyricwhisper]

Lyric was leaning in between Flamepath and Cloverstar, limping. Exhausted was eating at her insides. The former DeathClanner saw an empty nest and collapsed in it. She exhaled before looking at the clan cats. "Drought did this to me as a punishment. He took most of my tail, scratched up my back, broke a few ribs on my left side, and scratched my face beneath my eye on the other side." she told them again, mainly directing to Sunblaze.

[Flamepath]

Flamepath helped Cloverstar in the task of keeping Lyric steady as they made their way to Sunblaze's den. The deputy dipped his head slightly as they entered the she-cat's den which reeked of medical herbs and burned his nose slightly , not used to the scent.

" Hello Sunblaze" he simply greeted as he parted from Lyric's side, the injured cat had already found an empty nest. " As you can tell Lyric needs some serious medical attention."

[Cloverstar]

Cloverstar listened anxiously for a few seconds before she heard Sunblaze, and her legs nearly gave out from under her in relief. She settled for a sigh instead as she shouldered Lyric. "Thank you. Sunblaze, we need you to treat--"

She was cut off by Lyric, who explained what had happened and her injuries. She blinked as Flamepath continued from where she'd left off, and quickly regained her composure, rolling back her shoulders. "What they said is true. Lyric was in DeathClan once, but she has left. She will be, from now on, a member of RockClan, but first requires treatment."

She turned to Lyric. "We'll talk more about this later, but for now, just listen to Sunblaze," she said. "I can come by later, if that's alright," she added, addressing Sunblaze.

[Sunblaze]

She dipped her head at the deputy in return. Her eyes grew wide as Lyric listed off that she had been forced to bare through. "Oh my Cloudclan!" She exlaimed and asked, "Could you bring her over here? I've just recently cleared off a moss bed here." She pointed with her tail. "And yes of course Cloverstar, I will treat this cat with the respect of our clans warriors." She promised.

[Lyricwhisper]

Lyric had then stumbled to the nest, settling on her side that didn't have broken ribs, her breath shuddering as she relaxed. She turned to the three cats. "Thank you."

[Cloverstar]

The leader gave a nod, clearly relieved. It was times like this when she was the most grateful for having a medicine cat around, let alone one as reliable as Sunblaze. "Alright. I'll drop by tomorrow."

She glanced one more time at Lyric, before turning and moving out of the den with her tail flicking behind her. She wasn't sure if Flamepath wanted to stay or not, but she knew they couldn't be in here for that long. Lyric needed space if she was to be treated.

[Sunblaze]

She dipped her head in goodbye to Cloverstar. Turning to Lyric she said. "I am going to fix your tail and anything else that is bleeding first. There isn't much I can do for broken ribs but keep you here until they heal..." She gathered cobwebs and goldenrod in a bundle and set it down beside the injured cat.

[Lyricwhisper]

Lyric gave the medicine cat a nod. "Thank you. Just do whatever to get me to walking." The gray and white she-cat lay still while she waiting for the cat to heal her.
