It's been several sunrises since the badger attack in the Thunderclan camp that costed some of our warriors lives, including our brave medicine cat, my mentor Cinderpelt, Leafpool sighs as she sorts through her piles of herbs, it's all my fault for running off with Crowfeather when my clan needed me here the most.
Firestar stepped into the medicine cat den, Leafpool blinked away her thoughts and mewed a greeting to Firestar, "Mothwing is here to see you." Leafpool looked at Firestar questioningly "Okay she may enter if she likes." Firestar nodded and padded out of the den.
a couple of heartbeats later Mothwing slipped into the medicine den with a couple of poppy leaves in her jaws. "I brought you some more poppy leaves!" Mothwing mewed cheerfully. Mothwing sat the poppy leaves down on the medicine den floor and helped assist Leafpool in sorting through her herbs.
Leafpool glanced at Mothwing tilting her head to the side "Is everything alright in Riverclan?" "Everything is great in Riverclan!" Mothwing purred "I just wanna help you through your loss." Leafpool felt Mothwing brush against her Leafpool was startled first but felt very comforted by her fellow medicine cat. "I can't help but feel so guilty not being there when she needed me, when my clan needed me." Leafpool mumbled. Mothwing rasped her tongue over Leafpool's ear "Mousebrain, it wasn't your fault at all sometimes you cannot stop something from happening, you only can try to move forward and try to be stronger from it."
Mothwing looked down at her paws before getting to her paws. "I probably should head back to Riverclan now." heading for the medicine entrance but Leafpool blocked her from exiting. "It's getting pretty dark, you can sleep with me in the medicine den and you can leave at dawn after you've ate." Leafpool suggested brushing against Mothwing leaving the den to pick fresh prey from the pile for Mothwing and her to share.
It was the middle of the night when Leafpool suddenly stirred awake, she looked around to see where Mothwing went to, she was sitting up at the entrance of the medicine den with her head down. "Everything alright?" Leafpool whispered Mothwing turned around surprised and nodded brushing against Leafpool, that same unknown surge rushed through Leafpool when Mothwing was brushing against her, was I developing more feelings for Mothwing? Does she feel like this too? Feeling a little more shy around the Riverclan she-cat. "I was just admiring the peace." Mothwing mewed. "It's nice." plopping onto the ground near the entrance. Leafpool joined Mothwing lying beside her. "Yeah it's almost like there's no borders or clan rules for us to follow, like we're our own cats living peacefully side by side." Leafpool breathed.
Nuzzling Leafpool, "I enjoy your company, a lot." Mothwing murmured. Love for the golden she-cat floods Leafpools body nose to tail, Breathing in Mothwing's sweet scent slowly drifting to sleep as Mothwing rapidly rasps her tongue over Leafpools ear. "I enjoy your company too.."
