Chapter 1
"Hold still Oakkit!" Wildberry, the medicine cat meowed gently," Can you hold him down Rabbitear?"
The dusty brown tom placed his paws on Oakkit's legs," He will be okay right?"
"Of course! Its only a thorn scrape along his belly, and its not to deep." Wildberry chewed up a dock leaf and spread the pulp along the scar.
"Ouch! It stings!" Oakkit growled.
"It will,"Wildberry grunted then turned to Rabbitear," If Oakkit's wound does not get better in two sunrises, come back to me. I will keep him in my den for the time being."
The warrior dipped his head and padded out of the den. Wildberry wrapped the remaining dock leaves in a beech leaf. A scent wafted into her nose.
"Hello Mosseye. How is Waterpaw's training going"
"Great! She will be a warrior in no time!" Mosseye purred. Her muzzle brushed against Wildberry's. Her sisters presents warmed her," I could use some warriors to help me with collecting some herbs, I'm a little low in storage."
"Of course." The two cats entered the clearing, quickly running out of the gorse tunnel. Many scents came from the Thunderclan forest, but Wildberry could easily detect the smell of Lavender and Yarrow, the two herbs she needed. "You can go get the Lavender, I will get the yarrow." Wildberry instructed. Mosseye's whiskers twitched with amusement," You have always had a good nose," The black-and-white cat galloped away to the herb. Wildberry reached the yarrow and plucked off a large stem and breathed in the sweet smell of the herb. Mosseye leaped out from around a bush, the small purple flowers on a stem, dangling from her mouth.
"Thank you." WIldberry mumbled with the yarrow in her mouth and twitched her nose. She found herself smelling the scent of Borage. She gestured with her tail for Mosseye to grab the Borage.
Wildberry's den floor was covered in herbs and berries of all types. Her pelt was bound to smell of them by the time she finished orting them out.
"My scar hurts!" Oakkit meowed," Can I have some dandelion?"
"How did you know?" Wildberry asked, reaching for the yellow flower. She pulled off the leaves and handed them to Oakkit, not noticing she was to far away from him for him to easily grasp. She looked back at the kit, who was reaching out for the dandelion.
"Oh no! you opened the wound! You made it bleed." Oakkit looked at the newly healed scar," Here, chew this dock leaf for me so I can get some spider webs." Wildberry wrapped the sticky web around her paw, she heard Oakkit spitting out the yarrow onto his paw, she padded over to the kit. She swiped the pulp off Oakkit's paw and rubbed it into his scar, then layered on the spider web.
"You need to rest, you will have to stay with me tonight incase you open your scar again. What were you even doing in the warriors den? You know you are not allowed in."
"I know! I was playing warrior with Honeykit. She dared me to go in, then Hawkheart came out. I thought he saw me and decided I would jump into the bramble bush to hide myself. I'm lucky I didn't get anymore in. I don't see why mother should make such a big deal out of it" Oakkit grumbled. Rosefang was Oakkit's mother.
Wildberry licked Rosefang's kit between the ears," All kit mothers worry about their kits."
"Is he okay?" Rabbitear padded into the den.
"Sorry, Rabbitear. He will have to stay with me tonight. I don't want Rosefang coming into my den with Oakkit to disturb a good night's sleep!" The warrior grunted a reply, then turned to go out of the den.
When Rabbitear had left, Oakkit pointed with his tail to a glossy, round, red berry," Why do you have Deathberries?"
Wildberry pushed the berry into a crack in the den wall. Deathberries were usually only used by ShadowClan medicine cats to end a suffering cats life. Not in the whole line of ThinderClan medicine cats, had they ever used these berries," I may need them some day."
A fluffy tom walked past the medicine cat den with a plump vole in his jaws. The whole Clan was glad it was Greenleaf.
"Fuzzywing!" Wildberry called.
The tom turned his head to look at the cat who had called him, his eyes brightened as he saw Wldberry. He galloped over to her, dropping his prey on the foodpile first.
"Hello Wildberry! Anything you need?" A sleek she-cat padded up to Fuzzywing, it was his apprentice Ripplepaw," Ripplepaw, go get something to eat, you deserve it."
Ripplepaw mewed a thanks, then dragged a small rabbit over to Greenpaw, who was sunning himself.
"No, all my stocks are full. Thank StarClan the Clan is over the outbreak of Greencough and Whitecough. Although we lost Darkkit." Wildberry murmured.
"At least we did not lose more." Fuzzywing blinked in the fading sunlight," I havn't seen Mosseye around. How is doing being deputy?"
"Fine, I think. There is a gathering tonight, do you thing Redstar will mention Riverclan stealing our prey? I thought the only ate fish!"
"No." Fuzzywing glanced over his shoulder to his russet leader," He doesn't need to. We have enough."
"We need all we've got!" Wildberry hissed.
Fuzzywing licked a paw and drew it over his ear," You don't need to get angry about it."
"But it's valuable! We have the tree's! They have the river! It's bad enough they have already taken back sunningrocks!"
Suddenly, a yowl echoed around the camp.
"Reedpaw!" Sandfur shrieked, running over to her kit," Wildberry! Come quickly!"
Wildberry raced out of her den to observe the situation. The sight of Reedpaw made her stop in her tracks. Blood covered the apprentice's face and body. Deep scars all over his frail body.
"What happened?" Wildberry asked, surprised by the calmness in her voice.
"RiverClan... Attacked our patrol." Reedpaw gasped," We had... The last one."
"Hush now." Wildberry pushed Reedpaw's head gently to the ground. Shadow's stretched around the camp.
"Why would RiverClan?" Goldenfur hissed.
"They know sunning rocks is ours!" Brambletail growled.
"We lost the last battle remember?" Redstar padded over to the apprentice," RiverClan wouldn't do this. It is against the warrior code. I will ask them at the gathering. Is everyone ready?"
"I don't think I should go. I must look after Reedpaw. Bring him to my den." Wildberry gulped. Reedpaw was in very bad condition. His training would be delayed for two or three moons. The medicine cat raced to her den, quickly preparing a moss nest and grabbing dock leaves, Chervil, dandelion and spider webs. The warriors brought Reedpaw in.
"Thank you Brambletail, tell Redstar he should take as many warriors as possible. The camp still needs guarding, and I don't think RiveClan would have given wounds like this." Wildberry gestured to Reedpaw," I don't know what could have, so you don't know what could be lurking on the forest."
"That would be reasonable, but should Redstar stay then? Mosseye could go. Would you put your leader in danger?" Goldenfur stepped in.
"I am not saying Redstar cannot go, I would recommend it, also, what attacked that patrol..." Wildberry stopped suddenly," Who was in that patrol?"
"I think Mouseear, Brightfur, Cinderpaw and Spottedpelt." Brambletail retorted.
Then where are they?"
Goldenfur and Brambletail exchanged nervous glances.
"Go tell Redstar, now! Before he leaves! If he has, race after him!" Wildberry hissed.
The warriors reacted to the order instantly, while Wildberry turned her attention to Reedpaw.
