Chapter 1 Sick
Flamepaw followed Oakfeather's patrol. Her apprentice Badgerpaw was with them, as well as Wingdung newly named Warrior. Marshstar had gave her an awful name. Flamepaw was looking for the Juniper Berry and Mallow to help Songbreeze the elder's bellyache. Also on the look out for Tansy because Darktail had caught a strange Newleaf cough. Flamepaw spotted Mallow growing, and told Oakfeather to stop. "I need to collect this Mallow for Songbreeze." meowed Flamepaw. At the end of the patrol, Flamepaw had gotton Juniper Berry and Mallow and Tansy, and the patrol had caught alot of prey.

Returning back to camp, Flamepaw and Wingdung headed to the medicine cat den. She and Wingdung dropped the herbs at Sweetstorm's paws. "Wonderful Flamepaw!" meowed Sweetstorm "Now take some Juniper Berries to Songbreeze." "What about the tansy to Darktail?" meowed Flamepaw. "I will take it to him, I'm moving him to the den today." Wingdung's eyes widened "He's that bad!?" Darktail was Wingdung's former mentor. Sweetstorm nodded. Flamepaw meowed "Wingdung thanks for your help carrying the herbs, and don't worry about Darktail, we will take care of him."

Wingdung nodded "I know you will." Wingdung then walked out of the den. Flamepaw padded to the elder's den. Songbreeze layed on her side. "Eat these." Flamepaw meowed. Songbreeze nodded got up and ate the two Juniper berries. "Thank you, Flamepaw." Flamepaw nodded "Don't metion it Songbreeze." Songbreeze meowed "I hope this bellyache goes away soon."

"I'm sure it will." the other elder Sorreleye meowed. Flamepaw nodded and meowed "Sorreleye if she gets worst get me." Sorreleye nodded. Flamepaw padded out of the den. Outside of the medicine cat den she heard coughing. Darktail. Flamepaw thought. Flamepaw padded into the den. Sweetstorm was trying to get the tom to eat the tansy.

"Come on Darktail. You need it." meowed Sweetstorm. Darktail shook his head. "Save it for a younger cat." "Your sounding like an elder! And no one else needs tansy so you may as well eat it." Darktail coughed "Fine, Miss Bossy." "Good." meowed Sweetstorm as Darktail ate the herb. "Flamepaw did Songbreeze eat the berries?" Flamepaw nodded. "Yes she did, Sweetstorm." "Good very Good." meowed Sweetstorm.

Chapter 2 The Gathering
A week has passed, and a gathering was tonight. Songbreeze was better, but wasn't going to gathering. She was tired. Darktail was kinda getting better. Sweetstorm wanted to stay home, but Darktail was sleeping. And hardly coughed today.

"I hope Hollypaw is here tonight." meowed Pinepaw. Flamepaw smiled at the friendship between the two she-cats. One from Shadowclan, one from Thunderclan. Flamepaw saw Flintpaw staring at her. He quickly looked away. ''Flintpaw I love you, too! Only if medicine cats can have mates and kits! ''Flamepaw thought sadly. Only if he knew.

Marshstar came out of his den, and they left. When they got to the gathering Riverclan was the only clan there. Flamepaw looked at Wingdung who would be annouced a warrior tonight with her awful came. She hung her head, and didn't look in any cats eyes. Sweetstorm and Flamepaw headed to where the medicine cat gathered when they are on the island. Duckwing the Riverclan medicine cat was there.

"Hi Sweetstorm, Hi Flamepaw." meowed Duckwing. "Hello Duckwing." Flamepaw and Sweetstorm both meowed. "Beechpaw come here!" meowed Duckwing. Coming soon!
