I hate surgical scenes. Especially when it is I who type them. They suck. For sure.

Squirrelflight's POV

"Here, my kits. Here is your milk." I said as I fed my kits with milk.

"Squirrelflight! Go to the medicine den. Ashfur was found drowning in the lake!" Cloudtail yelled to me. "And may StarClan be with him."

I immediately rushed towards the medicine den. There he was, lying on the floor of the medicine den barely breathing. Ferncloud was standing near him.

"What happened?" I asked.

"There was a battle because ShadowClan felt that winged cats are dangerous. Ashfur was fighting and he was pushed over the cliff and into the lake." Ferncloud said eventually.

"What? I can't believe he risked his life for me and my family." I sobbed down. Then I saw it. Rainfeather is standing near Ashfur.

"Squirrelflight." he said eventually. "I need to cut him open to get rid of the ice inside his body. You should stay here and be with him. Ferncloud, I need your blood. You okay with it? If not, he will go to StarClan without a chance to continue living."

"Anything to let him survive." I said.

"Okay, then. We will start." he said.

I thought at that moment, Please don't take my mate away from me. You already taken Jaypaw's sight!

Rainfeather's POV

I had gotten permission from Firestar to cut open Ashfur to let him survive. I started at dawn. I needed all the light I can get.

"Okay. Leafpool, grab the heart. Squeeze it gently, but firm. That will help him survive." I said, warming up the heart from blue to red with my paws.

I went towards the lungs next. I slowly cut opened the lungs one by one and gotten the ice out. Using cobweb, I stuck it along the lines of the cut.

I moved towards the kidney next. It was blue too, encased in ice. I slowly chipped the ice and warmed it up. Meanwhile, I can hear Squirrelflight and Ferncloud whispering to Ashfur, " You are going to be alright. Stand the pain."

Spleen and stomach and perhaps, the brain left. I moved to the liver. It was black. Dead from the cold. I need a replacement for it! I went to use a record to record another Ashfur next to me. Then I rewinded the recorded Ashfur until he was healthy. "Yes? Master?" the recorded Ashfur asked me. "Lie down next to the real Ashfur. I am going to get the heart and liver from you to help the real Ashfur here." I told the recorded Ashfur. "Yes, Master." said the recorded Ashfur. Then he lied down next to the real Ashfur. I killed the recorded Ashfur and got out the healthy liver and heart. Then the recorded Ashfur disappeared. But still got the liver and heart. I cut out the dead liver out. And placed the healthy liver back with cobwebs. Ashfur moved in pain. "Why don't you stop and let me go to StarClan?"he asked.

"Because I am having everything on the line! My exile, my position, my death by Squirrelflight, everything depends on this!"I answered back.

I moved towards the stomach and chipped out the ice. Then I moved towards the spleen. Still going on.

Moving towards the brain. The dangerous bit. I carefully chipped out the ice and move back down to seal up the wounds.

"Rainfeather, Ashfur stopped breathing!" Leafpool screamed at me.

I carefully cut out his dead heart and replaced it with the one I gotten from the record. Then I gotten cobweb and attached back the heart. Then, I squeezed it firmly and gently in hopes of getting it beating again. No use. I sighed. "Get the thunder-maker." I said to Glassshard. He shoved it right in front of me. I grabbed the two ends and positioned both of them onto Ashfur's heart. It started beating, but it was slowing down. Ashfur is still alive, but his heart is slowing down, I thought. I shocked Ashfur with the thunder-maker again.

Ashfur winced in pain. His heart is beating normally.

"Ferncloud. Your blood into the wound please." I said.

She inflicted a wound on her flank before going out of the den as Glassshard placed cobwebs on her wound. I placed cobwebs onto the wound I inflicted on Ashfur.

"He's okay. He will live." I said to Squirrelflight.
