Back at Camp

Sam, Carly and Freddie have been in Thunderclan for almost a week now. They sat in the middle of camp. Carly laid down on a rock with Sam nearby (on the ground) and Freddie sat on the opposite side of Carly. (also on the ground) He was finishing a shrew.

Jayfeather padded to the medicine den and put his herbs down. He poked his head out of the entrance and saw the ICarly gang.

"AHH! I'm sooo bored!", Sam complained. "I miss TV!"

Carly rolled her eyes.

"Come on, Sam, just calm down.", Carly mewed.

Jayfeather eaised an eyebrow. /What is T...V?/

Sam shook her head.

"No, I don't wanna! I miss TV and FatCakes and and making ICarly and the internet and pickin' on Gibby and sneaking out of detention and most of all-" she looked at Freddie's shrew with disgust.

"I missed cooked food!"

Freddie huffed. "There's plenty to do, Sam. Why don't you go do something useful? I swear by Starclan, you're so lazy!"

Sam's ear twitched.

"I was out with Jayfeather gathering herbs, thank you!", she defended.

"And what in the name of FatCakes is.....'Starclan'?"

"I thought it was cheese." Carly purred.

Sam ignored her.

/She doesn't know what Starclan is?/ Jayfeather padded up to them.

Carly was the first to notice Jayfeather coming towards them.

"Hi, Jayfeather.", she mewed happily.

Jayfeather gave her a nod. /It seems like she's always happy./

"Afternoon, Jayfeather.", Freddie greeted.

Jayfeather also gave him a nod. /He seems confident out here, like he knows everything about this forest./

Sam just stared at him. That strange feeling came back and she didn't know what to say. Carly noticed.

"Sam, aren't you gonna say-"

"Hi?", Sam replied, looking at her. She turned to Jayfeather.

"Hi, Jayfeather."

"Hi, Sam.", Jayfeather mewed. /What is that?/ He felt something strange coming from Sam. /I'll figure it out later./

"I can teach you what Starclan is.", he told her.

Sam looked at him with intrest.

"Well, he started. "Starclan is-"

Jayfeather stopped when Squirrelflight padded over to them.

"Yes, Squirrelflight? Do you need something?", Jayfeather said.

Squirrelflight pointed to Sam with her tail.

"Brambleclaw told me to take Sam to the training hollow and spar with her."

Sam frowned.

"I don't wanna do training!"

Don't, Puckett.", Freddie whispered.

Carly nodded, hopped down, and sat beside Hollyleaf.

Sam huffed. "But, I-"

"Was going to come with me to gather herbs again.", Jayfeather finished. He began to pad away.

Sam nodded and followed him. They took their normal route around the forest and picked up herbs. Jayfeather stopped at a tall tree. He looked up. Sam looked up, too.

"Um.....what'cha doin'?"

"Don't you smell it?"

"Smell what?"

Jayfeather pointed to the highest branch. There was an old behive sitting on the edge.

Sam blinked. /He could smell that from all the way down here?/

Jayfeather flicked his tail angrily. "Too bad I can't reach it."

"I can get it."

Sam quickly climbed up the tree trunk.

"Sam, what do you think you're doing?!", Jayfeather hissed. "That tree is old; the branches could break!"

Sam laughed. "Relax, I'll be fine. I'll knock over the hive and come straight down. Promise."

She reached the top branch in almost a heartbeat.

/Hmm....note to self: I'm more fast than strong here..../

Sam padded to the end of the branch and was going to push the hive over, but she heard a snap. Whipping her head around, she saw the branch break in half, and she hit the ground. Everything went black.....(well she did come back straight down.....)

*********************************************************************************************************************

"Sam!"

Jayfather raced to her side. He nudged her shoulder with his nose. She didn't move.

"Sam? Sam?!" /Oh no.....w-what if she's-/

Sam let out a groan and opened her eye a slit. Jayfeather brightened up.

"Sam?"

"J-Jayfeather...."

He let out a sigh of relief.

Sam looked to the left and began to laugh.

Jayfeather frowned.

"What's so funny?"

Sam pointed to the left with her nose. Jayfeather looked. On the ground, not far away, was the broken branch and the hive was broken into pieces.

"I told you I could get it....", Sam purred weakly. /Ow...../ She hurt all over. She tried to get up, but Jayfeather eased her back down.

"You need to rest.", he said.

"But I thought I needed to go to the medicine den?"

Jayfeather gave her a nod.

"You do, but you're too hurt now. We need to wait until you're stronger, or until another warrior comes by to help."

He left to gather herbs and Sam laid on the forest floor, all alone.

/Great, I'm in some freaky book world, I'm forced to eat rats, and now I'm hurt!/

Sam felt sharp pains in her side. /Need....sleep/ Sam drifted into sleep. She dreamed of how things should be, or at least how she thought they should be. Her, Carly, and Freddie were back at home, making ICarly. Sam woke up and sighed.

/It ended too soon, it always does..../

She looked to her right. Jayfeather was curled up beside her, their pelts touching. Sam purred in delight. She snuggled beside him. /I don't know why, but I'm not complaining./ She looked him lovingly. /Maybe this place isn't so bad....../ She heard footst--er, pawsteps and closed her eyes. Aparently, the noise woke Jayfeather up. Graystripe, Cinderheart, and Freddie came across them. Graystripe cocked his head. Cinderheart raised an eyebrow. Freddie opened his mouth, but Jayfeather interupted him.

"She fell from-" He pointed up with his tail. "Way up there."

Freddie looked at Sam, suddenly very worried.

"What, and she hasn't waken up yet?"

Jayfeather looked at Sam expectantly.

/Ah, better 'wake up' now./ Sam's eyes flew open and she faked a gasp.

"She's awake.....", Cinderheart mewed.

Jayfeather nodded.

"Yeah, she is." He turned to Sam.

"We're going to move you now, okay?" He stood up.

Sam nodded weakly.

"Let me; you go should get herbs to heal her.", Freddie offered.

Sam frowned.

Jayfeather nodded and padded away.

Freddie padded to Sam's side and helped her up.

"We'll go tell Leafpool she's coming." Graystripe mewed. Graystripe and Cinderheart raced ahead. Freddie faced Sam.

"Sam, are you ok?"

Sam's tail twitched angrily. /It was perfect! Why'd he go?/

"I was fine till you got here!", she growled.

Freddie opened his mouth to speak, but decided it was best to keep it shut. They slowly padded back to camp without saying another word.

Gimme a R! Gimme a E! Gimme a VIEW! What's it spell? Review! Review! Review! (And I'll put up more chapters. I think chapters 5 and 6 are the best yet....) *hint hint*
