I woke up panting. What a silly dream! As if I would ever do that to Lionkit!
But it still creeped me out a bit. The medicine den was dark, and all I could see was the herbs, a small pool of water, and Leafpool's chest slowly rising and falling in her sleep.
There's nothing to do in here! I thought, frustrated. There were no cats to play with at all.
All I could do was explore.
I tried to get up, but winced as a flash of pain spread through my body. Ow! I forgot I was injured. Nothing to do at all, then, except lie here.
I lay there for ages, I don't know how long, but slowly, it got slightly lighter in the den, and I could hear a few cats stirring, including Leafpool.
I could smell Brambleclaw coming out of the warriors den, along with a few other warriors. Some of them went over to wake other cats, in a den near our one. I heard Cinderpaw come out of the den, I could tell it was her because she was complaining loudly.
"But can't I go see Hollykit?" She mewed.
"No." Snapped a tom's voice. "You can see her when you come back from hunting patrol."
She groaned, but left the camp.
No more cats were stirring, and I could see them moving around from the entrance of the den.
A black and brown warrior with long legs was pacing around, ignoring Daisy when she was talking to him.
And, after a long time, I spied who I was looking for. Jaykit and Lionkit were coming down into the clearing! The bounded over to the medicine cat den, jumping around when they saw that I was awake.
"Be quiet, kits. Leafpool is still sleeping." Squirrelflight mewed sternly.
"Not anymore." Leafpool mewed, stretching out from her nest. "How are you feeling, Hollykit?"
"It hurts when I move." I mewed quietly.
Squirrelflight sighed. "It's your own fault, Hollykit. If you hadn't left the nursery you would have been fine."
"I know..."
