The Return

Sparrowflight trudged into camp with the dying Badgerfang in her jaws, not setting her down until she reached the center of camp. She yowled over the rain, calling for the rest of the clan to come out.

Singekit followed, with absolutely no emotion in her eyes whatsoever. She called for all to help-- her mother was close to death and her aunt dead.

Silentkit popped her head out of the nursery, blue berry juice staining her mouth. "What is going on?" she asked, then she saw the form of her mother. "Mom!" she cried as she raced out of the den. "What happened?"

"A.. fox attacked her." Singekit meowed, the emotion drained from her voice.

Silentkit looked at her sister, her eyes wide. "A-a fox? Bu-but I thought they didn't live around here" she wailed, then turned to her aunt. "Sparrowflight, is she going to be ok? Please tell me that she will be ok!"

"I- I don't know..." Sparrowflight muttered, looking at Silentkit and Singekit with blurred eyes before looking at the entrance. Moonfrost should've been coming in at any moment with the body of their dead kin.

Maypaw followed the two warriors of StarClan, and the apprentice she had trained with when she was alive. She saw the one whom she guarded, Singekit, and her sister, Silentkit, whom she had yet to talk to yet. She walked up to the fire-pelted she-cat, and whispered "Use cobwebs to bind your mother's wounds, and and marigold to prevent infection. Her leg is shattered, and we can do naught about that. I shall help you through, along with Badgerfang's mother, most likely.", into Singekit's ear.

"Uh, okay!" Singekit responded. "Cobwebs to bind her wounds closed, and marigold to prevent infection! Her leg bones are shattered, though." Singekit meowed to Sparrowflight. "C'mon, we have to save her!"

Silentkit looked over at her sister, her eyes wide with an confuse look. "Ho-how do you know that?"

Moonfrost came in after Singlekit, pulling the body of Mothpaw with her. She gently sit her down by Badgerfang. She dropped her head as the rain made her fur fall over her face, covering her eyes.

"Don't question it! Just do it! Do you want to save her life or leave her like Mothpaw!" Singekit shouted, getting a bit mad why she had questioned her, during a life/death situation.

"What?! I'm not a medicine cat!" Sparrowflight looked down wide-eyed at Singekit, too afraid to make things worse than they already were. She turned her head sadly to Moonfrost walking in with Mothpaw.

"Her leg is split from her body, Cobwebs won't be strong enough. Fetch strands of rush. Comfrey Root. Stinging Nettle... and marigold..." Ebonyroot padded over and whispered in Silentkit's ear, hopefully so the two sisters would work together. "And you must hurry."

"Oh, shoot. The warrior is now helping your sister, as she is a medicine cat, and Badgerfang's mother. Don't question that, nor tell anyone else." whispered to Singekit, and backed away, letting Ebonyroot handle it from there.

Silentkit took a step back, and looked over toward the medicine cat den. "I'll get what we need!" Silentkit raced off toward the den, coming back with diffent herbs each time. Soon they had everything they needed. Piles of strands of rush, Comfrey Root. Stinging Nettle, marigold, and cobwebs.

Ebonyroot smiled at Maypaw and bent down, close to the ears of the two sisters. "Listen closely if you want to save your mother. Silentkit, lift her leg up and wrap the rush around it so it sticks off the rest of her body. Singekit, you need to chew up the root and the flowers and the leaves and make one big pile of poultice and put it every she's bleeding. Then both of you cover it all up with cobwebs." she explained, then added sternly at the end, determined not to let two of her daughters die tonight. "And hurry."

Singekit immediately ran to the herbs and began chewing stuff like crazy. Spitting the last herb into a pile on a leaf, she began to rub it on spots where she saw blood welling on her mother. "Is that good?" Singekit whispered, nor exactly to herself.
