ThunderClan Medicine Cat's Den

[lark.]

Petrelstorm adjusted her grip on Grousekit's scruff, worriedly looking around the medicine den for either of the two current healers. The one moon old kitten mewed weakly in protest. He had gotten a bit of a sniffle around a quarter moon ago, and neither Petrelstorm or her mate had really thought anything of it, but it had quickly progressed into higher intensity. Now Grousekit, who was already small even for a one-moon-old, was streaming with discharge from both eyes and nose. He hardly did anything but sleep and cry, and though Petrelstorm wasn't a medicine cat, she had a strong suspicion that he was on the beginnings of a fever.

Cardinalsong had tried to assure her it was probably just a run-of-the-mill cold, only worsened by Grousekit's size. They had both agreed he needed some kind of treatment, but Cardinalsong — who was with their other two now — had tried to seem unbothered. Petrelstorm saw right through him of course — they weren't mates for no reason. He often played issues down to soothe the worries of both himself and others.

She moved further into the den and placed Grousekit gently between her front paws before carefully wrapping her tail around the poor thing. She glanced around. "Wolfpaw? Hollowpaw?" she called. She tried very very hard not to sound too impatient — she was old enough to realize that the medicine cats were busy constantly.

Brightshadow
{A fluffy calico molly with green eyes.}

She stumbled into the medicine den coughing. Her eyes drifted around the den. She didn't know quite what to do. A bout of coughing caught her off guard. They were dry and wheezy. It left her throat feeling dry. She hoped there was an easy cure for them both. Her eyes trailed back toward Dustlark making sure he was still following. Her paws felt heavy after every step she took.

He followed in quietly after his sister. his eyes trained on her anxiously. His nose was bleeding. He didn't like the Medicine den. It made him nervous, but Brightshadow had insisted that he would let the medicine cats would look at him. He'd definitely rather be sleeping. He tried to peer past his sister to see what was going on. The only real reason he was here was for her.

Softdaisy
She/Her

"I don't know what's happening." Softdaisy fretted, looking down at her daughter. "Not that I've noticed, no... I haven't seen any other symptoms." Was she just a horrible caretaker? No... maybe..? Gaze darting to Mantiskit, Softdaisy crouched to cushion the little kitten's fall. Speaking of kittens...

Hollowpaw himself was so very little, Softdaisy's heart clenched with concern. Where was the cat who looked after him? It made her both angry - that such a heavy burden had been placed on the shoulders of one so young - and sad - for the same reason. "Where is Wolfpaw..?" The Queen blinked, fixing her attention on the Medicine Cat Apprentice. Not that Wolfpaw was any older, or had any more knowledge as far as she knew, but... "Not that I think you incapable. It's just... shouldn't he be helping you? Maybe he is also busy?"

Bravepaw
I won't fall down you need me
+ anypronouns + No purrks

Tired, she was so tired whatever this was felt the need to drain her of any energy she had. It was like a leech that just zapped whatever it wanted and left its host with the crumbs. She let out a body-shuddering breath as she lay there, her chest sure felt heavy. Bravepaw had momentarily closed her eyes taking a moment to right herself in the middle of a dizzy spell. When she opened her eyes back she was face to face with her brother's familiar brown striped pelt. "P-Promise?" she croaked out, her brother was a herb cat now she had faith in him helping her. Surely whatever this is won't be the end of her and she'd continue living her life like there's no tomorrow. She'd grow up to be a big tough warrior and her brother would be the best medicine cat the clans had ever seen, her ill-addled mind was sure of it. "Yo-you'll be the clan's bestest medicine cat a-and I'l be-eee.." whatever she was fixing to say got cut off slowly as she started to space out. Not long after her limbs started to stiffen as she lay there before she blacked out and soon after started to spasm in her brother's hold.

brown, masked classic tabby w/ low white; titanite eyes

Worry. Such a foreign feeling to him now pooled in his gut at each shaky breath his sister let out. Her belief that he would help her was less of a confidence boost than she probably expected it to be, instead it just piled more pressure onto his shoulders.

"Obviously I'll be the best," he says, "and when I take over the forest, you'll be right by my side." It's a promise. He's going to make her better and then they'll rule the world together. But Bravepaw's words suddenly cut off, her body suddenly rigid. And then she began to convulse. "Brave?!" Hollowpaw shouted, fear creeping into his voice as she wouldn't stop convulsing. What was going on?? How did he stop it?! HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO HELP HER???!

"BRAVEPAW?" Panic is rising in his voice now, and there's nothing he can do to keep it out. For the first time in a long time, tears prick at the corners of his eyes and he doesn't know what to do. He can't even put on a brave face. "SOMEBODY HELP!!" His voice cracks with a sob as he screams. He needs somebody, anybody that could save his sister. He doesn't know what to do.

Hollowpaw's desperate call echoed through the clearing and it took Violetfreckle approximately 0.5 seconds to get from laying down, keeping watch over the clearing, to standing up and bolting toward the medicine den. Her fur was fluffed up in panic, claws unsheathed, convinced she would have to fight off some new predator that managed to somehow sneak in. WHat she found, though was far worse.

It was times like this that Violetfreckle remembered ThunderClan's health was in the paws of, essentially, kits. This realization was less of a result of distrust and moreso of the way Hollowpaw looked. Tears welled in his eyes and the poor kid looked terrified. Of course he'd called for help; the scene before him made Violetfreckle's heart drop. Another young cat who looked to be around Hollowpaw's age was convulsing on the floor of the den.

A flash of panic made its way onto her face before the tabby gritted her teeth and shook her head. She had to be the brave one here. Unfortunately, she had no idea where to start, though. So, she racked her brain. The issue was the convulsing; this cat could hurt herself. She turned to the other cat who had come in. "Help me pin her down, gently!" she hissed the orders before she could truly think through her course of action. Part of her knew this could go horribly wrong and someone could get hurt. But she had no other ideas, and things were getting worse by the moment.

The fluffy she-cat headed toward the seizing patient's top half, trying to use her weight to slowly trap the cat so that she couldn't move. Or, at least, not enough to hurt herself or anyone else. "You, get the back half!" Violetfreckle nodded toward the warrior. "Hollowpaw, take a few deep breaths then help however you can. Herbs, talking, anything. Take a moment." She hoped this would work, and made an effort to ensure she wasn't pressing down on the cat's chest. 'Please, please, please work,' she silently mouthed to herself. StarClan did not need to take any more of their young.

The she-cat bolted into the medicine den in a hurry at the cries for help, skidding to a halt at the entrance. "IS EVERYONE OKAY?!- Oh... Oh dear." Cedarstike sprung into action and hurriedly ran over to the seizing apprentice's side. "How long has this been going on? Did this just happen?"

Of course, she'd follow Violetfreckle's lead, gingerly holding the young cat in place and watching her mouth and nose for any sort of foaming or other fluids.
