Chapter 16

Mistcloud's POV

"Is everyone okay?"Littlecloud asked us.

We all nodded,then Flametail nodded at Blackstar to continue. Blackstar cleared his throat and went on.

"Two-legs have been on our territory,but they haven't gotten close to our camp yet."

Blackstar stepped back,and Onestar walked forward.

"WindClan has been doing is running,and we will attack any cat over our borders."he said,glaring at Leopardstar,and walking back.

Firestar stepped forward.

"ThunderClan has been doing very well. We also have two new apprentices,Dovepaw and Ivypaw."

Cheers rose in the clearing. Many apprentices were hopping up and down,and the elders were nodding with approval. Dovepaw and Ivypaw were standing up,their chests puffed out with pride. I grinned and waved my tail at them. Firestar nodded to Leopardstar and she walked up.

"RiverClan is fine,and we have one new warrior,Mossyheart."she said quickly,as if she wanted to get it over with.

Mossyheart stood up,her eyes shining with embarassment. I cheered for her with the other Clans. The Clans separated and went to the exits. Graystripe walked up to me.

"Are you okay,Mistcloud?"he asked.

"Yes,why?"

Graystripe studied me.

"You look like you're sick."

Right when he said that,pain spread in my chest.

"Urgh."I moaned.

"Come here."he said."Lean on my side."

"Thanks."I mewed gratefully,and leaned on his side.

He stayed there the entire time,until he took me to the medicine cat den,back at camp.

"Jayfeather,Leafpool. Something's wrong with Mistcloud."he said.

Leafpool came out from the back of the den and walked up to us. She led me to a moss nest,then told Graystripe to go back to the warriors den. She put a paw on my chest and felt my heartbeat. Then,she lowered her face next to mine and listened to my breathing.

"Jayfeather!"Leafpool called.

The gray tabby that I loved came into the den. He faced the sound of her voice and I could see his sightless blue eyes.

"What's wrong?"he asked,padding toward her.

She whispered instructions into his ears,then he went to the back of the den. He came back out,holding green leaves in his jaws and dropped them at my paws. I sniffed them. They had a minty scent.

"Is this catmint?"I asked,looking up at Leafpool,though I already knew the answer.

She looked surprised.

"Yes,it did you know? You've never had greencough or whitecough before."she said.

"I...uh...Jayfeather told me."I said warily.

I sniffed the catmint again and started chewing it. Then,my body swayed suddenly.

"What else was in there?"I asked them,my head hurting.

My vision was spinning. I saw four Leafpools and Jayfeathers. The last thing I heard was Leafpool meowing in alarm as I collapsed on the nest.

...

I felt a paw massaging my chest. I heard pawsteps then a voice.

"What happened to Mistcloud?"a tom said

"She fainted."

I recognized both the voices. It was Lionblaze and Jayfeather.A dull wave of pain spread across my head as I shifted it slightly. I moaned and opened my eyes. Jayfeather was standing over me.

"How do you feel?"he asked,once Lionblaze left..

"Achy."I said,my vision now blurry.

"Good."he said.

"Good?"

" Yes. If you were sick,you'd be coughing up blood and shrieking in pain.(A/N:I made that up.)Luckily,you ate the catmint in time,so you aren't really sick."

" Yay. Help me up?"I asked,raising my head to look at him better

Jayfeather sighed and put his head under my neck. Then,he lifted it,raising my back,and forcing me onto my paws. I stood up,shaking.

"I'm going to go in the nursery."I told him.

He nodded his head and I walked out. I heard the kits. Now,there was Cherrykit,Molekit,Tailkit,Rainkit,Wolfkit,and Sunnykit. I walked in and settled down on my nest. Suddenly,I heard a cat yowl.

"ShadowClan!ATTACK!"
