Hello! I couldn't continue my previous story due to lack of ideas. But from reading other stories, I think I have a good idea.
Here I go!
My breath was heavy. There were loud mews echoing around the stone den. Where was I? What was going on? I heard my own breathing.
"Be careful," somecat warned, seemingly close to me. "She's delicate." There were teeth grasped on my scruff, the tiny skin pinching under the pressure. I was in pain, but that didn't matter now. I wanted, no, needed, to know where I was. The small body of mine was constantly being moved, large paws picking up herbs and placing them in various scattered places across my body. Why? Why was this happening?
"Cobweb."
"Marigold."
"Juniper."
"Honey."
"Celandine."
"Poultice."
I couldn't move, I couldn't fight back. The leafy substances felt weird against my dirty fur. Where was my mother? Where was Mistkit, Silverkit, and Moonkit? Where was Whitetail? I had already heard Brightleaf's voice when she said herb names, which slightly comforted me.
A loud snarl. "Stop! Let me see my daughter! She's... mine!" An escalating voice sounded outside the den.
"Cloudheart, no! Frostkit needs help. Let them do what they need do. You saw what happened, she needs to recover."
Who is Frostkit? One of my denmates? If she was the one in supposed trouble, why do I get shoved around like it's urgent? Does it have anything to do with me? Hopefully not.
"Brightleaf, we've done all we can do. Let her rest."
"Barkpaw, she is still unresponsive, we have to get her back with us! She is a kit, she isn't ready for a trip to StarClan!"
An unfamiliar scented paw was placed in front of my muzzle, as if to block something. "No," his voice was a pathetic attempt to show authority.
I felt my body release a shiver.
Brightleaf jumped. "She moved! She moved!" She hollered.
"Hush! Let the kit sleep!" Barkpaw scowled at the medicine cat.
My heavy breath slowed down. Now it was just a louder variation of regular breathing. My head ached, and my jaw felt unusual. My right paw and tail felt most of the pain. I still was puzzled though. What... happened?
I felt a paw prod at my flank. "Frostkit!" The voice was light. "Frostkit, wake up!"
I didn't budge. I was awake, but how could I show it? My mind was awake, but my body wasn't. I'm just stupid, aren't I? I'm stupid like Cloudheart calls me.
I held my breath and twitched. I wanted to curl in a ball and sob the day away, but Cloudheart... I want to make her happy. But how? Whitetail is happy around me, but he is always away. Moonkit told me he was a deputy. What is a deputy?
"Frostkit!" Two paws were abruptly shaking me, but I couldn't. I tried, honestly, but couldn't. Get me out of this nightmare! Leave me alone! I mustered all of my strength and curled myself in to a ball and shut my eyes tighter than ever before.
