ShadowClan Medicine Cat's Den

[Estelle]

Half her face stripped bare of its fur and scarred as cold wind hit the fresh blood that adorned her white fur send shivers down the shiver-named cats’ spine, hurrying just a pace behind Hawkbite as he carried little Fishkit, fighting through the dizzying pain she felt on herheace and that age-old wound on her shoulder, reopened at the fox’s claws.

But her attention was divided, pain rippling beneath her fur, but more importantly, eyes straining to watch Mossfreckle work his magic on her daughter. Her breath was caught in her throat, feeling sick to the stomach not from the blood but from the sheer reality of what had happened under her guard - of what could have happened to Moonkit, that one time - all because she had been sleeping, for once, a peaceful slumber. A once peaceful slumber. Only a blue eye was cracked open to watch the freckled mossy tom work from a distance while her yellow eye remained glued shut by the blood covering her face, a frank miracle neither eye had been damaged in the process, watching intently as Fishkit was tenderly tended to and wrapped in cobwebs.

‘’W…will she… be… a-alright?’’
Nightshiver finally spoke up with a broken, raspy mew after Mossfreckle stepped away from the kit, a part of her urging sob break down in tears at the fate that befall the kitten. But she had to remain strong, if anything not to distract Mossfreckle from tending to the kitten.

~ YEWKIT OF SHADOWCLAN ~

AFAB | SHE/HER | KIT | 1 MOON | JUST A SCRATCH | RAPID RECOVERY

Massive, long-furred, rich and fiery russet she-kit with dark colorpoints that fade at the edges and round, fiery amber eyes.

Yewkit stared at Plant-Cat, waiting for an answer. Then a scrumptious scent flooded into her nose. Her stomach gave a loud growl, water filled her mouth, and an excited squeak rose from her muzzle. "Food!" she yelped. She turned, stumbling over her own paws, and found a white she-cat with two different eyes approaching slowly and quietly. Yewkit was anything but slow and quiet as she stumbled toward the milk-scent, feeling weak with hunger and clumsy due to the poultices wrapped around her paws. Was the cat made of milk? Was that why she was white? Maybe this was Yewkit's new Mama, not Mama Badger!

Mama Milk lowered into a crouch, her voice low and gentle. Yewkit crashed into her, then immediately licked her shoulder. Aww. She didn't taste like milk. Right! Milk came from the belly! Yewkit needed milk!

But this cat was talking to her. And her name was... Night... sh... Wait, Yewkit knew that name! The others had been talking about her! So Bookfire didn't control the night. Wait, how was this cat the night? The night was black!

"Me Yewkit!" she mewed. "How you night? You white!" She giggled at how silly it sounded. "Night dark."

It was hard to focus with the scent of milk wreathing around her. The rich russet she-kit gave in to her hunger and slipped under the queen, butting at her belly. It was a lot brighter than Mama Cheeto's! And... there was no milk! What?! Yewkit backed out and blinked up at Nightsh... maybe Mama Nightsh would suffice. Yewkit had no idea what the last part of her name was. Anyway, she was sad. Maybe something more than that. It was the way Yewkit felt when Mama and Papa promised something and didn't give it to her.

Yewkit was strong! Big kits didn't cry! However, she felt tears welling up in her piercing amber eyes. That burning sensation, the way the world began to swim... she hated it. And that just made her more upset. She barely heard what Plant-Cat was telling Mama Nightsh.

"Me hun-gee! Want food! No fair!" Her darker, gradient-like tail began to swish behind her, stirring up herb-scented dust that tickled her nose. "Mama and Papa eat! When me eat?" She was fed up, but what if they were upset with her?! "Me strong!" she tried to defend herself.

Plant-Cat said something about milk, then about following Mama Nightsh. Mama Nightsh was gonna take care of her, but where was the food?! Yewkit wasn't sure if she liked this new place anymore.

ROOKFIRE
[ he/him | shadowclan enforcer | purrks ]

rookfire resisted the quiet yet nagging urge to do unwise things, aware he was pretty much just being dramatics but she was seriously starting to get on his nerves. instead, he parted from where nightshiver had left him to approach the kit and made his way towards the herb storage, briefly brushing pelts with mossfreckle on the way. were all kits this annoying? repeating the same few things until everyone around eventually and undeniably went crazy? with a quiet huff, the enforcer settled by a certain crack within the rock, close to where shadowclans actual herbs were kept, to admire the butterfly mossfreckle had accepted as a gift and marked a point in their relationship where uncomfortable finally transformed into something more akin to mutual respect. pale blue wings, trimmed with a thin line of black and growing lighter the closer they got to the butterflies thin, dark body. it still reminded him of the herbalist, though his judgement might be a bit biased now that he had a memory directly connecting the two. whilst remaining turned to the crack in the wall, he eyed the following interaction out of the corner of his eye and came to the conclusion yewkit was just especially annoying. marigoldkit had never acted like this, and palepaw couldnt be that much older and he wasnt a feral stuck record of a child. personally, the disregard of personal space was probably the thing that ticked him off primarily, and the broken record esque behaviour simply made his innitial judgement of the kit more concrete. whatever conclusion the others might get to regarding yewkit, rookfire was glad to have a bit of distance between himself and the kit now, even if he always ran the risk of being assigned as her mentor a few moons down the line.

❦ Angular head canted down in a nod of reassurances directed towards the fluffy white forever queen who looked grotesquely the same with the greyish white silken thread of the cobwebs which adorned her now mutilated face, all seemed so normal if one simply missed the fact that only one eye blinked as it focused on the Medicine cat - the other neatly tucked beneath the bandages - ”She will be well enough,” the said in plain but comforting tones, ”I myself have done all I can and I know that you will do such on your part as well.” With that, the freckled tom turned to watch the little vividly russet coloured point who had moved on to ramble out introductions and who had seemingly managed to wriggle her self under Rookfire’s skin like a thorn in a paw, annoyance and thoughts of poor choices yet to be made seemed to flare in usually coldly calm grey eyes as the dark pelted enforcer stood with tippy tappy off coloured white paws as he seemed to comprise every fiber of his muscled form to keeping himself in check. A stretch of a toned neck had Mossfreckle’s star marked brow gently bumping into Rookfire’s shoulder as muttered words where passed on, something something about going and checking the herb storage, a simple motion to prevent any of the impulsive rushing of thoughts so akin to the felines old him form becoming a flood of negative consequences, ”Lets go dear,” he purred curtailing and herding the tom to the belly of the den and the herb storage which resided within the cracking crevices of the stones, ”Yewkit is free to go with you, Nightshiver. Please do not hesitate, however, do come and get me if some other ailment is to arise,” was the last lilting words that slipped form his maw as he waited to see the two mollies out before he about faced and went to return to his nest and the storage above it.

This morning was a weird one for him. The first thing on his mind was to check on Fishkit, which was weird considering he struggled with the claims of being called a dad. Maybe he was starting to live up to the title after all. The Commander padded to the kill-pile, grabbed a mouse and headed to the medicine cat den.

Ensuring Mossfreckle knew he was here, he'd pad to the nest Fishkit was laying in and drop the mouse at the edge of the nest. "Fishkit," the Commander called softly, hoping to ease her out of sleep or not startle her with whatever she was doing. Since mastering stealth, it'd been impossible for cats to hear or scent him coming, so he often startled his clanmates. "How're you feeling, kid?"

Fishkit|six moons
@SuspiciousMindz

fishkit was sleeping it had been the only way to pass time just to go into utter darkness where she could just be gone even if she wasn't tired sleep was her only option it wasn't like she could go any place, but this star cursed nest.

(slight mentions of blood)

fishkit curled her self up in a ball frowning her brows she just wanted to sleep, but a sound no a voice not just any voice her dads voice called her name. Fishkit perked up looking at her father next to the nest fishkit adjusted her body upright " Dad! she purred a warm smile growing on her face. She hadnt seen her dad since..since fishkits eyes went blank staring off into space growing silent.

Teeth...teeth blood so much blood fishkits body tensed as she remembered that day...till her fathers words broke her trance fishkit blinked moving her head side to side slightly. Fishkkit looked at her dad again " I'm...okay it hurts a bit " she meowed truly she was just starting to be able to move upright not much more, but her other eye that had the cut over it hadn't opened again yet... it would open again she hoped. Fishkits nose noticed the mouse before her eyes did oh she was starving as her belly growled fishhit reached for the mouse grabbing it with her claws before eating it carefully. trying not to hurt herself.

Hawkbite's whiskers would twitch when Fishkit reached for the mouse and tucked into it. He'd take light steps into the nest, sitting down on the other side of it and watching her eat. He'd give her a few minutes to fill her stomach before he'd continue. "Mossfreckle is taking care of you, though? Has Nightshiver been by at all?" He hadn't seen the she-cat yet either, he'd have to search her out and check on her. He didn't see her immediately in the den, so she must've moved back to the nursery. "If you need more pain medicine, I can let him know, I don't mind," he assured, wrapping his tail around his paws.

fishkit tore at her mouse finishing it quietly watching her dad sit in the nest next to her it was nice having her dad here once fishkit finished he dad spoke again asking if mossfreckle was taking care of her " yeah, he is mossfreckle is very nice she meowed then he asked if her mom has visited her yet " No not yet... a slight pang of sadness was in her voice nightshiver was probably busy with her other kits. Besides she was in the den with mom when she was healing before she left for the nursery again.

fishkit attempted to move against hawkbites leg " No I'm okay Mr moss gave me something a while ago she said it hurt a bit but she didn't need to take anything as of now. " Dad? she meowed looking up at him I been having weird dreams abot weird ghost cats " she told would her dad believe her they had been so weird the different types always looking spooky and what not.

Hawkbite's tail twitched a little on his paws as Fishkit shuffled closer to him. With a small humming noise, the Commander would loaf down into the nest and listen to her concerns about these 'ghost cats'. Brows furrowing, the tom would let out a soft sigh. This was a discussion to be had a different day. "I'm sure they're just strange dreams... it happens to the best of us, kiddo," The Commander tried to assure her. Hawkbite wasn't sure of those dreams. His own with Vixensnarl still felt surreal and he wasn't sure if it was actually her or not anymore. He'd chalked it up to being a fever dream at this point, even if he'd discussed it with Dawnstar.

His tail worked it's way around Fishkit's smaller body, bringing her closer to his loafed form. "It's best we get some rest. I'll stay here for now, alright?" Hawkbite promised, lowering his head so it rested on the edge of the nest like a pillow. If Fishkit agreed, eventually Hawkbite's breathing would slow, and his eyes would flutter shut as sleep drifted over them.

Fishkit nodded at her dads word yeah they were probably dreams, but they felt very real -sigh- fishkit shook it off best not to think on it right now maybe she could talk to someone else about it fishy thought looking down at her paws. Fishkit leaned herself against her father as he loafed next to her fishkit laid her head down and closed her eyes drifting to sleep hoping for now weird dream cats would show.
