Chapter 2
Lilackit flinched awake, hearing a fit of coughing, "Beetlekit! Quiet! You keep waking me up!"
Beetlekit stopped, "Sorry, Lilackit, my throat is dry, and my stomach hurts." He rasped, his eyes blinking to the outside of the Nursery.
"You should see Dustsky about that, it's annoying me!" Lilackit grunted.
Beetlekit nodded, shaking and getting up to his paws, "I will, don't worry." He coughed, then walked out of the den.
Lilackit blinked, looking at him as he padded away, shaking away the feeling that something was wrong.
Beetlekit moved his way to the medicine cat den, coughing along the way.
He pushed his way through the entrance, padding over to a sleeping cat and lightly pawing at his side, "Dustsky, wake up!" He rasped out.
Dustsky rolled over and sat up, his sleepy eyes fixed on the kit, "What is it? Why did you get me up so late?" he grunted.
Beetlekit held back a sneeze. "I have a cough, and my stomach hurts, Lilackit told me to talk to you." He replied.
Dustsky blinked, his tail flicking, "Sit down, I heard Leafsong go into a coughing fit yesterday. Did you visit the elders den yesterday?"
Beetlekit nodded, coughing.
"I see. Stay here, I need to go through my inventory." Dustsky said.
He turned around and began to look through his herbs.
He grabbed a few leaves out of a pile and turned around, setting the leaves at Beetlekit's paws, "Eat these." He said.
Beetlekit nodded and quickly swooped up the leaves and ate them. He flinched back, surprised at the taste.
Dustsky nodded and flicked his tail toward a small nest in the corner, "Sleep there, I will tell your mother where you are in the morning."
Beetlekit nodded, walking over to the moss bed, curling up in the nest.
Dustsky sighed, padding back to his nest. He curled up and kept his ears perked, just incase the kit would go into a coughing fit.
Morning.
Lilackit awoke to her mother in distress.
"Where is Beetlekit? Oh Beetlekit! Where are you?"
Lilackit got to her paws and yawned. She looked down and saw her brothers and sister, sleeping soundly.
With Beetlekit missing, she padded out to her mother calling out to the camp.
Dustsky emerged from the medicine cat den, running over to Spottedflower, "Woah! Settle down! Great Starclan!" Dustsky panted, " I thought I would wake before you, but Beetlekit is in my nest. He came to me last night with coughing. I suspect Whitecough, but if hes not treated, then it might turn into Greencough. Sorry to worry you, Spottedflower." He explained.
Spottedflower sighed and nodded, "Please take good care of him... Make him well soon, okay?" She meowed, her eyes clouded with worry.
Dustsky nodded and began to pad towards the elders den, "I need to check on the elders, I heard Leafsong coughing yesterday, I believe Beetlekit got it from her."
Spottedflower nodded and padded back to the nursery, looking at Lilackit, "Why don't you wake Streamkit, Foxkit, and Mousekit?" She suggested.
Lilackit nodded, and looked up with happiness, "Of course, Mumma." She mewed, padding back into the Nursery.
She poked Foxkit in the side, "Wake up! Come on! Lets play!" She mewed, her eyes shining.
Foxkit grunted and got up to his paws, his eyes blinking sleepily at Lilackit.
"Wow! You sleep like a badger! Beetlekit was coughing up a storm last night." Lilackit mewed.
Foxkit yawned, "That explains why his nest is cold. Anyway, lets wake up the others." he twitched.
Lilackit nodded in agreement and began to wake up Streamkit, and answer her questions on where Beetlekit was.
When Mousekit awoke, they all padded out of the Nursery, eyes fixed on the outside.
They all sat, and glanced at each other for ideas of what to do.
Beetlekit was usually the one who would come up the suggestions.
Then, Foxkit spoke up, "Why don't we play some more moss ball?"
Streamkit nodded eagerly, ready to play.
