Chapter 6

Ivypool's POV

Ivypool had never guessed to knew in all the nine lives of a clan leader's life time that Jayfeather had felt that way. Before she could say anything, she saw a pair a cold eyes waiting them. Ivypool couldn't see who the it was or if it was a cat. Then it stepped out of the shadows. Red fur, a narrow snot, sharp teeth. Jayfeather had frozen, then turned around to face the it, claws out ready to fight. Ivypool jumped to his side, she would need to help him even if he didn't like it. Ivypool got ready to claw the fox's muzzle but Jayfeather was faster. The fox growled at Jayfeather and the pain as blood oozed out of the wound down the side of it's muzzle. The fox jump, sinking it's fangs into the medicine cat's flank and give a shack. Almost as fast as the fox jump, Ivypool attacked. Clawing it's side till it let go of Jayfeather. The Medicine Cat let out a breathe of air as he hit the ground, then the fox turned it's gaze on Ivypool. The fox went to snap it's jaws around her back, but she jump back but still got her for paw bitten by it's jaws. Before she could cry out in pain or claw the fox a pale tabby and a golden tabby attacked the fox. Ivypool noticed it was her mate, Bumblestripe and the warrior Lionblaze. Ivypool ran to Jayfeather's side, he was getting to his paws, but the wound on his side was still bleeding, then the tabby and white she-cat saw that it was a long wound not a deep one.

When the four cats had gotten back to camp all but Lionblaze had a wound. Jayfeather was leaning on Ivypool shoulder, Bumblestripe was lumping and so was Ivypool a little. When Ivypool, Bumblestripe, and Jayfeather where inside the medicine den Bumblestripe looked at the Medicine Cat with narrowed eyes.

"Did you ask Ivypool to go with you?" He asked.

"Yes" Jayfeather answered.

"Then why didn't you hear or smell that fox! You do after all have a sharp nose and ears!" Bumblestripe growled.

"I-" Jayfeather started but was cut off by Ivypool "He tried to save me! If it was a trap then why would he risk getting injured!"

Bumblestripe's POV

Bumblestripe's eyes grow wide, he didn't think about that. Then he nodded and looked at Ivypool with worry in his amber eyes.

"Just be careful next time... I don't know what I do if you got hurt..." He whispered.

The angry looks was soon gone from Ivypool's dark blue eyes as she touched noses with him. He felt a purred rumble in his throat. Before anyone could say anything Briarlight had dragged herself over.

"Jayfeather, do you need some help getting herbs to heal everyone?" The brown she-cat asked.

Jayfeather looked over to her and give a small nodded.

When Jayfeather was done fixing up their wounds, he told Ivypool and Bumblestripe to go to the warrior's den and rest. Bumblestripe had led Ivypool right to her nest then went to get some fresh-kill for her. He picked a nice fat mole and padded back to the den.

When he dropped the pray by her paws, she looked up at him with warm eyes.

"Thank you" She purred.
