To Leapkit, those were the most reassuring words he could have said. I'll be alright, she repeated to herself. I'll be fine. Nimblewhisker said so. Her heart warmed at his words, and she nuzzled his shoulder in a silent show of her gratitude.
As Leapkit slowly crossed the clearing, leaning heavily on Nimblewhisker's flank, she began to notice that it was harder and harder to move. Every wobbly step sent a bolt of pain through her stomach. The clearing had never seemed so wide--how were they only halfway across? She didn't want to worry her brother, but the pain was finally too much to bear. "Nimblewhisker?" Leapkit whimpered. "I... I'm not sure I can walk all the way to the medicine den." |
"I-I can c-carry you t-then!" He mewed more fear started to pool in his pelt once again before remembering the last time he had tried to carry her and quickly shooting down the idea of doing it again, "Hehe o-on second thought how about you l-lay down and I'll fetch Surgestorm so he can just t-treat you right here in the c-clearing?" He inquired stopping their slow trot so that he could get her response, "I-if not I can try to c-carry you there or get s-somecat to help us!"
