ThunderClan Medicine Cat's Den

[Bean]

- Wolfpaw -
- He/Him - 6 Moons - ThunderClan Apprentice -
- A large dark brown tabby tom with green eyes -

 

As Springlight explained what was going to happen, fear burst through the young apprentice. This sounded scary. Before he knew it, the Medicine Cat was chewing his leg off.

crack.

A yowl of pain emerged from his lungs, biting on the stick as hard as he could. Tears streamed out of his eyes as the calico molly wrapped up his leg, no, stub. The brown tabby glanced down, seeing what was left of his leg. Just a stub. Wincing as the medicine cat spoke to him once more, he gave her a breif nod. "T-Thank you," he croaked out, laying his head down to rest. He peered open one of his green eyes, flickering around before falling on Wolfhive. "W-Wolfhive. C-Could you get m-mama f-for me? I-I want mama," he whimpered curling up into a ball as he slowly drifted off.

It wasn't the first time that she felt like something was wrong. She didn't know what it was, but it made her feel absurdly uncomfortable. The medicine cat found herself pacing, the sun’s golden rays barely shimmering within the crooked entrance of the medicine den. Drizzlecloud hasn't been around for quite some time, and the calico found herself feeling overly anxious on her paws. Where could she be? She hadn't been in the medicine den since… she had no idea. If she had to start soloing out specific alignments for cats, she would. Springlight’s thoughts raced, only for them to come to a close as she heard frantic pawsteps approach her den. Her ears pricked up, and she turned to see a cat rushing into the medicine den with a convulsing Tremblepaw along their back. Her heart nearly skipped a beat seeing the apprentice’s state. Violent tremors could be a sign of serious conditions, and there was no time to lose. Rising to her paws, the calico weaved her way over towards the apprentice, being careful to not worsen the spasms as she eyed the uncontrollable tremors convulsing through his body. It wasn't anything that she had dealt with before, and she knew that she would need to try to do this as quickly as possible before she risked losing a patient on her paws. “Give us… some space.” She ordered the cat who brought the apprentice into the den, leaning down towards Tremblepaw as she carefully rubbed a paw along his side, trying to ease him while she observed.

“Don’t worry… I’m here… I am… going to… help you… just try to… breathe… slowly and… stay as… still as you can.” She doubted he could hear her, but it was all that she could do in this kind of situation. What she needed at the moment was lavender, chamomile, and bring Tremblepaw to a nest after the fit was over so he could properly rest. Grimacing, the calico quickly stood and stepped out of the den, scanning the clearing before calling out to a random warrior. “Webstripe! I need… you to… come here… as soon as possible!” She would have much preferred to collect the herbs herself if she withstood the chance to do so, but she needed to keep a close eye on Tremblepaw in case his convulsions got worse to the point it could turn lethal and kill him.

Webstripe was hanging out in the clearing, taking a day to relax. The tom bathed in the sunlight until he heard an urgent call for his name, coming from the directon of the medicine den. Quickly, the black an white tom hurried over. As soon as he entered the den, he spotted Tremblepaw and Springlight above him, an instant realization hit the older tom. "What do you need?" he asked, voice laced with worry for the young apprentice.

The medicine cat was deep in concentration, meticulously sorting through her herb storage when a small, high-pitched mew caught her attention. She turned to see a tiny kit stumbling into the den, her eyes wide with curiosity and enticement as she meticulously asked the herbalist when she may become an apprentice. The calico found her lips pursing forward briefly, her ears pressing against her head. A wave of irritation washed over her; the medicine den was no place for kits to be wandering around aimlessly, potentially disrupting her careful organization or even endangering themselves by getting into the wrong herbs. She hadn’t had any problems with kits getting into the wrong things before, but she wasn’t having any problems with kits causing trouble no matter the circumstances. Even if Olivekit was just innocently asking a simple question, she wasn’t going to be taking chances. With a sharp sigh exhaling out her nostrils, the medicine cat stepped forward and aimed towards the entrance of the den with her tail. “Out.” She ordered, her voice sharp and laced with annoyance. “The medicine den… isn’t a place… to be… wandering around in… it can… be dangerous… only come in… here when… you are… older… or if… you are… feeling unwell.” If it would take a minute or an hour to get the kit to understand the importance of the situation, she would wait until she left or assist a warrior to grab a queen to take Olivekit away. She wasn’t in any mood for games.

Suddenly, as if they never occurred in the first place, the tremors stopped. His body was still for a second. Not a whisker of his twitched. His half-lidded eyes blinked to life and he flicked a light ginger ear. He generously lifted his head, the rest of his body slowly following in pursuit. "Hey, what's going on?" He mumbled, half-amused, "I was in a clearing before this. Where am I?" His squeaky voice assisted his spinning mind in a quest for answers, "I...I was training before this. With Salmonshade. Am I... in the medicine den?" As if it were a monster, the realization struck him all at once. His ears flattened with shame, "It was another one of them, wasn't it? One of the shakes?"

(Hi! Sorry for the late reply! I had an unexpected hiatus D: but all good now! His mentor is Salmonshade! @iliri)

Larkswoop entered the den with caution, padding over to Silverpaw’s nest quietly. “Hey, Silvs,” She purred softly, crouching down beside her former apprentice. “Thought I would tell you something. I have spoken with Bumblestar, and although I won’t be allowed to mentor you again, she’s allowing me to help you with your training. As far as I know, she’ll be sticking you with Mudhound, as he has more experience on three legs than I do.”

Larkswoop slunk into the medicine den, her broad-shouldered, light-brown and white tabby fur darkening in the gloominess of the den. Larkswoop looked at the matted silver-and-white pelt that lay in a nest across the den. Silverpaw. A cat that Larkswoop wanted to - above all - protect.

“Drizzlecloud?” The warrior called out. She spotted the medicine cat’s light gray form - dark gray in the gloomy den - and padded over to her. She put her tail tip to Drizzlecloud’s shoulder as not to startle her. “I must speak with you. About Silverpaw.”

Larkswoop entered the medicine den, her expression firm. She had followed Wolfpaw in after the meeting, her tail tip twitching irritably.

Spotting the dark gray apprentice, the broad-shouldered feline made her way over to him, her muscles rippling beneath her dusky-brown-and-white tabby fur. ''Wolfpaw.''

Larkswoop settled down beside him, sitting back on her haunches. She turned her green gaze to him, and it hardened instantly. ''What in StarClan's name did you think you were doing, yowling out at Bumblestar like that? Bumblestar, of all cats!'' The warrior shook her head. ''Consider yourself lucky if she doesn't come after you, because your Clan Leader is not a cat you want to start a fight with.''

''Not only did you question your leader's decisions, Wolfpaw, but you spoke out of turn. You know very well that you're not supposed to speak at a meeting unless spoken to or given permission,'' Larkswoop's gaze softened. ''I understand your pain, Wolfpaw, but you need to think with your head, not your heart. Bumblestar made the decision to give Silverpaw to Mudhound because Silverpaw needs a cat who knows what they're doing to train him. Besides, Silverpaw is my former apprentice. I know that cat better than anybody else in this Clan.''

Silverpaw had lost his family. Larkswoop was basically all the silver-and-white tabby had left. Mudhound, too, if Bumblestar's brother treated him right. Larkswoop knew exactly why Bumblestar hadn't given Silverpaw back to her - she didn't trust her fully yet after her return to ThunderClan. That reminded her - she needed to speak with Mudhound. Let them know how to handle the young tom.

''I know that it hurts. I know that pain, too. I broke my leg at Haggard Ruins when I was still mentoring Silverpaw. A tree branch had fallen on top of me. If Silverpaw hadn't pulled it off of me, I wouldn't be here. When Silverpaw's accident came along, I was the cat who saved him. Think of it as a repayment for him saving me.'' Larkswoop touched her nose to Wolfpaw's ear.

After talking with Mudhound, tripod to tripod, Wolfpaw was feeling a lot better with himself. He was still confused however on why Mud approved wolf's fit. The dark brown tabby tom was chilling in the medicine den, when someone decided to burst in and start scolding him. Normally, he would just cry his head off. But after the meeting and mudhound, he was not going to put up with this. "Okay, no. I'm going to stop you right there," he snarled, green eyes glowing. "Shut the hell up and listen to me. Right now. I don't care if 'yer a warior who needs ta be listoned ta', I am not putting up with this crap right now," he snarled, remaining in his laying position in the nest. He could not deal with this right now.

He hissed as Larkswoop attempted to touch her nose to his ear. He raised his paw and attempted to cuff her around her ear. "Now, I need you to shut yer mouth and listened to me," he snarled, waiting to see if Larkswoop would protest before talking. "First off, you do not know what you are talkin about. I was frustrated, I lost my leg and family for stars sake! How about I cut off your leg and take away your family and you can see how you feel," he snapped. "Mudhound told me that they threw fits as well when they lost their leg, so I am not going to apologize. One. Bit. And don't you dare start with that 'ye need te thenk with yer hed and not yer hert' stuff," he mewed mockingly. He has had enough of this for one day, and wasn't gonna deal with any more.

"Also, as far as i know, all tripods are given a tripod mentor. Either Bumblestar a.) didn't care, or b.) didn't know. So shut up with that. And I don't care if Silverpaw was your former apprentice, I couldn't care less," he snarled, picking himself up, hobbling forward to face the older cat. Alas, he was still tiny and so he had to face up to see Larkswoop. "OH COME ON! YOU BROKE YOUR LEG, BOO-HO. That is NOTHING compared to the pain of getting your leg taken off. You haven't felt even a fraction of my pain, so do not say you know how I feel. I GOT MY LEG TAKEN OFF FOR STARS SAKE. You can come back and blab how much you felt my pain after you get your leg removed. The pain doesn't even come close." That was the last straw for him. The only broken bone he's ever had was the one that caused for the amputation. "Now, Unless you have anything more to say to me to piss me off, get out. I don't want to see your face again," he growled, curling his lips to a snarl. He wasn't the same wolfpaw he was just two moons ago, and he never would be. He lost two things, and cats could blab about how they understand him, but they never will. They never will.
