After that, about a week went by, but Coyotepaw still hadn't regained consciousness. Kestrelflight was getting frustrated, and didn't know what to do. He decided he couldn't do this on his own, and he had to go to the other Clans for help. But that may have just made things worse.

Kestrelflight left early one morning on a patrol to go get help from the ThunderClan medicine cat, Cinderheart. He left on a patrol with Hawktalon and Wolfpaw. Foxpaw had gotten sick, so he and Todd stayed home.

The small patrol reached the river where the WindClan and ThunderClan borders met. They sat, and they waited.

Eventually, at around sunhigh, a ThunderClan patrol came to the border to inspect the WindClan patrol. Thank StarClan is was led by Bramblestar himself, otherwise they might've never gotten across.

The WindClan cats crossed the river and followed the ThunderClan cats back to their camp.

Once they got to the camp, Kestrelflight, Hawktalon, and Wolfpaw waited in the clearing for Cinderheart. The camp was just a large hold in the ground with a tree. Wolfpaw had heard stories of how a tree was sent into the ThunderClan camp, and a cat had died along with paralyzing one of their apprentices. ThunderClan cats began emerging from their dens, wondering what the problem might've been. They would soon find out.

Cinderheart emerged from her den. "What's the problem, Kestrelflight?" she asked him.

Kestrelflight seemed hesitant about discussing this matter in front of most of ThunderClan, but he had to hurry. "We found Coyotepaw," he began.

"That's good, though! Isn't it?" Bramblestar cut in.

"No, he's been unconscious for the past two weeks," Kestrelflight said. "We can't get him awake. He had a large scar across his face and a very large gash going from his side to his stomach. I've tried everything I know, I can't do it. I need your help." Many ThunderClan cats were shocked, just for the fact that the young apprentice was still alive. "He was also half frozen when Wolfpaw found him." Many suspicious glances went to Wolfpaw, as if they thought he'd done something to his brother. "Will you help?" Kestrelflight asked Cinderheart.

"Of course!" Cinderheart responded. "I don't know what he'd need though. What if I went back to your camp and see Coyotepaw?"

"That would work," Kestrelflight responded. "But we must hurry!"

"Yes, do you have many herbs?"

"Um, just the ones that grow on WindClan territory," Kestrelflight responded, getting a little uneasy as the other WindClan cats, under the hard stares of the other ThunderClan cats.

"I'll bring a few," Cinderheart said, disappearing into her den. She came out a few moments later with a large bundle of herbs. "Ready?"

The WindClan cats and Cinderheart returned back to the WindClan camp and Cinderheart immediately followed Kestrelflight to the medicine den.

By now, Foxpaw was up and doing his normal apprentice duties. He had obviously just finished taking care of the elders. "What happened?" he asked Wolfpaw. Hawktalon had walked away, waiting outside the medicine cat den with Todd.

"Cinderheart decided to come back to camp with us to help Coyotepaw," Wolfpaw answered his brother's question. "No one knows what's wrong with him."

That night, Wolfpaw and Foxpaw's worst nightmares, became real.
