Sorry that I have been slow, on this and all of my stories. I have had MAJOR writers block, but I hope I got it fixed… once again, sorry.
Stripetail let out a cry of pain and of help. He hunched over Lillypool and tried to get her to stop bleeding.
Hearing the cry, Shimmereyes dropped the herbs she was collecting and started to run towards the sound. She was terrified as she found out it was Stripetail who was screaming. She ran to Lillypool and pushed Stripetail away.
Letting out a whimper of pain, Stripetail fell back, and his tears started to mat his chest fur. "It's my fault…. Starclan tried to warn me, but I wouldn't listen!" he yowled to the sky.
Whipping her head around, Shimmereyes glared at Stripetail. "Go get some warriors! I need herbs, and items, but I cant leave Lillypool. Go, get at least three." She ordered, then tried to get the bleeding to stop, and was thinking of everything that she would need. She could not move Lillypool, she was too hurt.
Closing his eyes, Stripetail shook his head. "I- I cant." He whispered.
At this, Shimmereyes turned to him and jumped. She landed on him and pinned him down. She was strong and skilled, since she was a warrior, then trained as a medicine cat apprentice. "Go! I don't care what your problem is! If you don't get those warriors, she will die! She might without them, but she has a better chance. GO!" She yowled at him, her face so close to his that their whiskers touched.
Hissing loudly, Stripetail pushed her off, but his eyes were still far off. "Fine." He growled, looked at his only love, and charged to camp. When he got there, he spotted Sparksoul and Swiftflare. He ran to them. "I need your help." He panted.
Sparksoul jumped up, nearly knocking Swiftflare over. "What? Where is mom?" He nearly ordered at his dad.
Swiftflare got to his paws and took a deep breath. "Dad… I smell your fear, what is happening?" His voice was strangely calm.
Now Stripetail was shaking with fear. "Lillypool… hurt again…. Follow my scent back and you will find Shimmereyes." He panted and then ran off. He took a deep breath and got to the medicine cat den. He ran inside and looked around. "Frostpaw!" he called.
Frostpaw stuck her head out. "Hi dad! What's up?" She sat, but then his wave of fear hit her she jumped up.
"Your mother…. Hurt…. Follow me." He ordered and ran out of the den, not letting her argue.
Running after him without a second thought, Frostpaw was at her dads paws, mind racing. She was fearful, but she was not sure what was going on. She was still mad at her mom, and always would be, so she thought.
The moment they got to the lake that Lillypool was passed out at, they were hit with orders. Swiftflare went to find moss to make a nest for his mom, and Sparksoul, one of the best hunters in the clan, went to catch his mom prey. Frostpaw went to gather the correct herbs for Lillypools injures, and Stripetail was told to get water for her.
Although he was told to get the water soaked moss, Stripetail just stood there, fearful, which made him frozen in the spot he stood.
All of the siblings got back once, and they all dropped their items at Shimmereyes side, and all stepped back, other than Frostpaw. She looked at Lillypool and started to make a nest around her.
At the moment that the wet moss was put on her head, Lillypool woke up. She gasped for breath and let out a scream of pain. She looked at her daughter with sadness in her eyes. "I think you were right."
