Okay, if any of you saw the chapter before this that I posted an hour ago... APRIL FOOLS! Did you all actually think I would discontinue this story? Of course not! I made a promise to myself to make a series, and I do not plan on breaking the promise.
Brightpaw: The power of the red light! All hail the red light!
(Cherrypaw POV)
I can't believe it! Fox is drowning, or already dead, and there is nothing I can do about it! Fallenleaf just descended into the tunnels to get my sister, but it might be too late. I start pacing around, but I know I am not doing anything to help with. I look up at the sky to see all the clouds are gone, and the sun is shining brightly. I glance over at all the other cats; Dovewing is concentrating, Lionblaze is pacing, Ivypool looks worried and concerned, and Jayfeather is concentrating.
"Cherrypaw, Lionblaze, Ivypool! I need your help to find some herbs; we need tansy, yarrow, thyme, and chamomile." Jayfeather barks out orders.
"I will find tansy." I meow.
"Yarrow for me." Lionblaze says and pads away.
"I'll get chamonile." Ivypool walks away, in search of her herb. I run off in a different direction, searching for tansy.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO
I race back to the tunnels, with tansy in my mouth. I am carefully holding the herbs in my teeth, making sure not to break the outer layer and lose all of the precious juices. I run around trees, through ditches, and over logs. I hiss in pain when I land on my paw wrong after jumping a log, but I keep going. I finally reach where I last saw Jayfeather, and I notice that everybody is here except for Fallenleaf and Fox.
"They are coming!" Dovewing mews loudly, jolting me back to reality. I peer over her shoulder to see Fallenleaf's head appearing in the opening. In his jaws, is my littermate. Lionblaze pushes me away and takes Fox's scruff out of Fallenleaf's grip. He slowly hauls my sister up and onto solid land.
"Cherrypaw! Start licking her fur the wrong way to warm her up. Ivypool, carefully pry open Fox's jaws and leave them open." I pad over to my sister and lie down next to her, sharing my body warmth with her. I start to lick her fur the wrong way while Jayeather dribbles some yarrow into my sister. Soon she is awake, and retching on her paws. I keep licking her. With my body heat, the licking, and the sun's warmth, I know that Fox is warming up gradually. She tilts her head to one side after she is finished throwing up all the water. When she catches sight of me, her eyes widen in happiness.
"Cherrypaw!" She croaks. She goes to stand, but falls back down. That is the first time I realize her back leg is bound up, keeping her leg from moving.
"What happened?" I ask, concern in my voice.
"I shattered my leg." She replies back, weakly. I keep licking her fur, and she suddenly starts coughing feebly, startling me very much.
"Here, eat the herbs." Jayfeather pushes the tansy, thyme, and chamomile towards her. Suddenly, the bushes behind us rustle, and a black cat slowly emerges.
Cliffhanger! Mwhah! Sorry about a short chapter, I wanted to update today and I didn't have many ideas for this chapter. I will tyr to update over the weekend.
Happy Easter (or anything else) and Happy April Fools!
