Honeycloud stirred in her nest, blinking her eyes open slowly and glancing around. At one time, she would've expected the sounds and sights of sleeping warriors, but not then. She'd been held up in Ebonyleaf's den for the entire past moon. By now, she was used to the darkness and sharp stench of herbs, and was certain the scents of medicine had long since clung to her pelt.
She glanced at her leg. There was a still a gross looking bald-spot where that snake had bit her. It made her feel sick every time she looked at it, and she only wanted to go back to sleep. The young warrior laid her head back down, but it was too late. The medicine cat had already caught her awake.
"Go outside. Get something to eat." Ebonyleaf meowed, "You could use the fresh air." The tone in her voice told the tabby that it wasn't entirely a suggestion.
The she-cat held back a little whimper of complaint, pulling herself out of her nest and slowly creeping outside, a small limp still in her step. Her blue-green eyes traveled to the fresh-kill pile. Had anyone even brought food back yet?
