Fall Of The Clans
Jayfeather padded through the forest, his nose in the air. Sniffing for any sign of yarrow. The sun was high in the sky, but still hadn't reached the middle of the sky yet. Suddenly, three cats rushed up to him, one knocking him down and pinning him to the ground. The cat on top of him didn't smell like any clan cat from any of the clans. It smelled like a kittypet but had the smell of fresh blood on them. "Get off of me!" Jayfeather snarled, pushing the kittypet off him. Jayfeather got up and looked around, though he couldn't see anything. The tan tom was about to pin him again but then there was a voice, and the tom skidded to a hault. "Stop!" All three of them looked at the pure white she-cat who spoke. "Can't you see that he's blind." She said padding to Jayfeather. He scooted away from her, growling. "Umm, can you help us?" she-cat asked. "Why would I help a kittypet." Jayfeather spat, and began walking back to camp. "You can leave now or my clanmates can chase you off." The two tom turned around slowly, but the she-cat chased after Jayfeather. "Pleased" She cried, as she caught up him. She tripped on a root and fell onto Jayfeather. As soon as their fur touched Jayfeather was plunged into her mind. Images of dead cats flashed in front of him, all of them with blood and vomit at their mouths. Images kept flying past. Jayfeather began counting. "One death, two, three...twenty-four,...fourty-nine." After that everything went black again and Jayfeather could feel the she-cat's fur on his. She picked herself off the ground, and shook off the dirt. "Please, my friend is sick, can you help us." She cried yet again. Jayfeather stood up and faced the she-cat. "I'll help. But all I can do is give a some yarrow to your can friend so that he can vomit whatever is making him sick." Jayfeather said, beganing to sniff for yarrow. "No!" The she-cat yelped quickly. Jayfeather turned toward her. "What do you mean?" He said, confusion clear in his eyes. "I'll explain later, do have anywhere we can rest." She asked, looking at back at the two toms, and then back to Jayfeather. "We're kinda tired." She said, softly. Jayfeather looked around and then sighed. "I think you could stay at the camp, but don't get your hopes up... and you better tell me more about your friend." Jayfeather said, trotting toward the camp. The she-cat trotted next to him the two toms padded behind them. "By the way, what was your name." Jayfeather asked. "Snow, my name is Snow." Jayfeather smiled. "That's a pretty name." Jayfeather said, padding alongside her. "Now, enlighten me on this illness." Jayfeather mewed, following the trail back to the camp. "It all started one day a few weeks ago. The first cat was a friend of mine named skizzy, one day her nose started bleeding. We ignored it and her housefolk wiped away the blood and forgot about it like us. But a few hours later she coughed up a lakes worth of blood, vomited, and then died. After that, it happened all over the place, soemtimes after the nose bleeds it could take seconds, or weeks. Luckily, my dad has been okay for a few weeks-" Snow looked back at the kalico tom leaning, who was leaning on the tan one. "-Me and my brother heard about how the clan cats have sickness every year but still survive without a vet, so we came to seek the wise medicine cat from wentclan, or was in wireclan. But they chased us away, and gave us a few cuts to bear." Snow mewed, telling Jayfeather his story. "Well your lucky you came here, the medicine cat from windclan is a little excitable." Jayfeather said, letting out a small chuckle. "So can you help us?" Snow asked, leaning against Jayfeather. He tensed at the touch. "I'll try, but I've never heard of anything like this before." Jayefather mewed, deep in thought. They walked on in silence until Jayfetaher padded through the bramble . "Leafpool." He mewed, for his former mentor. She came from the Medicine cat den quickly. "How much yarrow did you get?" She said, padding up to him. Everyone was staring at the three new cats standing behind Jayfeather. Fear clear in there eyes. "Jayfeather, who are these cats." Leafpool said, staring at the three of them. "I'll explain later." Jayfeather said pushing past Leafpool. "No, you'll explain now." Hollyleaf said, squezing in between the crowd of cats surrounding them. "Just cause we don't have a leader deputy doesn't mean you can boss me around." Jayfeather snapped. Leafpool, scuffed Jayfeather behind the ear. Snow stepped forward. "Umm, we were wondering if you could help us. My dad is sick, and I was wondering if you could help." Snow said, though she was clearly nervous. "And you think we can hel-" Hollyleaf was cut off by a loud cough. "Dad!" Snow yowled. Blood spilled out of his mouth everytime he coughed. All the cats stared at him wide eyed. "Help!" Snow yowled, looking around at all the frightened stares. After two minutes, her stoped coughing and vomited. "Dad?" Snow mewed, but the kalico tom didn't answer her. Frightened murmurs echoed around the clearing. "What just happened?" Hollyleaf said, staring at the dead kalico. Snow looked up with tears in her eyes. "Jayfeather." he turned to Snow. "Can you help us?" She said slowly. " I don't want this to happen again." She said, her voice crackling. Jayfeather looked at her, seeing her grief. He nodded. Cats began padding back to their dens. Snow satyed next to her brother. Later that day the elders came and carried the kalico tom to the burying place. By the next week everyone forgot about what happened earlier. Except for Jayfeather and leafpool.
