"Here, take this." Nightfrost pushed the small pile of horsetail towards the medicine cat, seeing as she hadn't taken it yet. He took a small step backwards towards the entrance of the den. After all, Echostar had wanted him to be back. Did she know what was happening to Monarchwing? Attempting to merge with the shadows, he slinked out of the den to find his leader waiting a few steps away. With a worried look, he shot out," It's Monarchwing. She's getting worse." Stepping closer, he continued. "Now she's hallucinating. She kept calling me Nightwing, and Hazelkit Shadowkit. She must think she's back in the old Sunsetclan. Oh, what do we do now?" Nightfrost shot her a worried look.

Echostar's expression didn't change as she listened to Nightfrost talk about Monarchwing. "I'm sorry to say this Nightfrost, and I know I'm no medicine cat, but I, and you as well, have to accept the fact that Monarchwing may not pull out of this. Seeing as that may be the case, we have to continue with our regular duties. Since you are not terribly hurt, I want you and Ratpaw to go hunting and finish off the border patrols. Now." Without waiting for an answer, she turned and padded toward the medicine cat den again. Sticking her head inside, she called, "Hazelkit! Come here," and waited outside the den once again.

"I-I" Nightfrost's widened as his ears flattened against his skull. Why did Echostar have to be so grim sometimes? Bewildered, he attempted to digest what she had just told him to do. "I mean, yes, Echostar. I'll be awaiting Ratpaw to go on a patrol. We can't fall behind on our duties now can we?" He tried to put on a fake smile while his brain was screaming at him.It's all your fault for not getting to Echostar fact enough. Why didn't you stay and fight along with your clan mates? Little doubts and what ifs that nagged at his conciousness. What if she doesn't pull out of it? Shaking his fur, he tried to rid his mind of similar thoughts. He hadn't seen Ratpaw in awhile, maybe he might be some good company. Or maybe not..
** Hazelkit jumped as Echostar nearly yowled in her ear. Her eyes were still transfixed upon Monarchwing's face as Crow approached her. A small shock went through her small body as she strained to come up with a word, a sentence even. Nothing came out. She gave one last look around the den, then slipped out silently into the daylight to Echostar's lingering form.

"Hazelkit, I know you're only a kit, but since two of our best warriors are out I need your help. Spiderfang has been neglected ever since the battle with the foxes and I need you to go take care of him. This is an apprentice task, but I know you're old enough and smart enough to be able to do it. I'd make Ratpaw do it, but he's busy at the moment. Go change Spiderfang's bedding, get him something to eat, and see if there's anything else he needs." With that, Echostar left the kit and padded to her den.
Grimjaw settled down a bit and tried to keep himself as calm as possible. If Monarchwing sensed his fear, and since she was still halucinating, there's no telling what might happen. "Is she going to be alright?" he asked Crow again, not remembering if he had asked her before.

Crow sniffed and placed her tongue on the wound licking the deep hole in her side. "Her other wounds have healed. I need to try to get some mending herbs to fix this one. It won't be easy, but I think she'll pull through." she purred, grabbing the horsetail in her jaws.

Grimjaw nodded and turned his gaze back to Monarchwing, who seemed to have calmed down a bit. He relaxed a bit and laod his head on his paws.

The night moon rose in the sky while Crow busily worked at the hole blown through Monarchwing's side. The she cat hadn't spoken much after her episode of flashbacks...not that Crow was complaining. The infection around the rim of the wound had cleared, a good sign of quick healing. She pawed at a wet poultice that lay in a foamy pile on the ground. She dripped a small amount into the hole to mend the muscles back together so her breathing wouldn't hurt as much.

"Ratpaw,"Nigtfrost called as he layed down on the ground, head in his paws. RIght now he wasn't really going to make an attempt to find the apprentice, as the events had taken it's toll on him. Besides, he must be around here somewhere. Looking around, he flickered his ears. "Ratpaw?" He meowed, a little louder than before."Come on, you've got to be around her somewhere," he muttered under his breath, standing up and paddling over to the apprentice's den. -- "Ok, Echostar," Hazelkit bounced as she looked up eagerly."I'll take care of Spiderfang for you!" Thinking to herself, she walked over to the fresh-kill pile. Only a kit? Ha. Grabbing two plump pieces of prey, she attempted to not drag them through the dirt as she stumbled over to the Elder's den. That old tom was probably starving after being alone all that time. Peeking into the den, she looked in, and squeaked out,"Hey, Spiderfang? You still alive in there?"

Ratpaw's bright eyes seared through the branches as he glared at Nightfrost. His shoulders slid up and down as he prepared for a leap. He unsheathed his claws and silently crawled down a branch, his eyes still fixed and his pelt hidden with leaved. He opened his mouth in a silent hiss and bunched his muscle. He exploded from the tree and landed on top of Nightfrost with a loud screech.

A half moment before the cat landed on him, Nightfrost's ears had time to swivel before it was upon him. He gave a loud murmer of surprise as he was knocked over by the tom apprentice. Squirming and wiggling, he pushed off the lighter weight of Ratpaw.Instantly leaping up, he snarled as he spun around to face the unknown attacker of the time, a fury blazing in his eyes.

Ratpaw parted his mouth in a smile and sat down, drawing his tongue over a paw and his paw over his eyes. "I sure got you didn't I" he purred with satisfaction. "Now, what did Echostar need from me?" he mewed.

Spiderfang's golden eyes sliced through the darkness of his den. A furious growl came from the back of the den, followed by a hiss. "What in the name of StarClan is going on out there?! All that yowling and hissing and fussing about. And not only that, but not one cat has come to explain to me what's been going on! I might as well be dead already!" A moment later and Spiderfang had hauled himself to the front of the den. "So what is it?"

"Yeah," Nightfrost mewed as he caught his breath, his fur slowly lowering back in its normal spot after rising. "You did get me. Echostar has taught you well. Way to use the leafy grounds to hide yourself" Looking around, he muttered under his breath."Maybe too well." A little louder, he continued with a sigh," Echostar wants us to go out on a patroll. Most likely around the entire territory, seeing how we're two warriors down." -- "Hey," Hazelkit hissed, stepping back from the elder. "Don't blame me. If you can haul yourself up here, you could haul yourself out and see for yourself. I'm just here to help." SHe tossed him the two pieces of prey, landing on the ground with a dull thud.

"Well," Ratpaw shrugged, "I kinda expected that one...When should we leave, the quicker we go, the quicker we'll be back." he purred, heading over to get a quick bite to eat. Boy, those DawnClan cats have been here for 3 days now...How bad were Grimjaw and Monarchwing hurt... he thought as he chewed on a vole.

Jaguar looked towards the sun, slitted eyes ready for tonight. He would recive his nine lives from StarClan apparently. He had to go somewhere called 'The Starpool' or something like that. He lifted himself from the ground and padded to Dawnflight. "When should we leave?" he asked, paws itching to get away from here.

"You're right," Nightfrost replied as he quickly munched on a small mouse, barely curbing his hunger. His bluish-gray eyes snapped open as a gentle chill ran through his body as he began to prepare himself for a long patroll. Finishing up his snack, he looked back over at Ratpaw. "Are you ready?" He icily purred.
