Enjoy

Chapter 14-

It all starts now... (Yes it has a title)

Swirrlpaw POV

I lay in my nest. Something feels wrong. I know it.

Its not yet dawn, but when I returned to my nest I heard hushed whispers and Berrypaw had been called from sleep to help Littlecloud with something. I've been debating whether or not to get up and see what's going on. But the fear of the unknown keeps me here. I wait a few moments longer. The dawn patrol will be getting up and leaving soon. I realize that if I want to find out what is going on, I need to go now. I slowly creep across the den, careful not to make a sound loud enough to hear. I hear movement coming from both the leader's and medicine dens and go to the medicine den first. The moment I enter I see Berrypaw frantically trying to find something.

"Berrypaw! What's going on?" I ask, alarmed

She turns looking as if she's been crying, but when her gaze falls on me I see relief.

"Oh it's terrible! Blackstar has been coughing a bit all day and so we gave him Tansy to make sure he doesn't get any worse." She takes a shuddering breath.

"He was fine, no other symptoms so we thought nothing of it. Then just after sundown he came into the medicine den, barely breathing, coughing, with a fever. Littlecloud told me that he could handle it and sent me to bed. But a while ago he came and woke me, h-he said that Blackstar is dying! Nothing we've tried is working." She stops to look out of the den, her ears twitching.

"The dawn patrol is leaving. We mustn't give them any reason to worry. No cat needs to know yet." She says, the frantic, scared apprentice replaced by a calm, collected medicine cat. She will be a wonderful asset to the clan later on.

"You may as well come with me, I might need you." She says as she picks up a bundle of herbs.

We head towards Blackstar's den and I can smell the sickness.

"Oh I'm so mousebrained!" Berrypaw hisses. "I've got to give you some tansy before you go in. We need to keep every cat healthy." She sets a few leaves on the ground and I eat them

"Alright lets go." She meows as we enter his den

Willowpaw POV-

I wake up when Mistpaw leaves on the Dawn patrol. I still feel very tired and wish I could sleep again but can't.

Then I hear a noise, a noise no cat wants to hear in leaffall. Coughing. Sunpaw is coughing really bad, like he can barely breath... That wakes me from my momentary stillness. I jump from my nest and run towards the medicine den, where I see Willowshine hunched over a motionless Mothwing. At first I think she may be dead, but then she to starts coughing. Willowshine looks up at my sudden appearance.

"What is it? Is some cat else sick to?" She asks

"Yes, it's Sunpaw. You have to hurry!" I say quickly, she begins to gather up a bundle of herbs and is soon by my side as we head back to the Apprentice den.

When we arrive, Sunpaw looks terrible. Tired, his pelt ruffled, his nose running. He looks at me when we enter, he looks relieved. I take that as a thanks and settle down near his nest to watch Willowshine.

She works for a while, checking for different things then stops.

"Sunpaw do you think you could get to my den?" She asks

He stands "of course I can, I'm not a kit." He says, slightly annoyed

"Alright, then go. Ill be there momentarily." She meows before turning to me.

"I can think of no cat else to tell." She begins

"I know that we barely know each other, but something tells me that you are special somehow." She takes a deep breath

"Mothwing has the same thing as Sunpaw. I don't even know what it is. It has a few of the same symptoms as Greencough, like coughing, wheezing, running noses, but other things as well. Mothwing fell

unconscious and I can't wake her." She stops suddenly. "Get Mistpaw when she returns, stand outside my den. I'm going to need you." She meows as she walks back to the medicine den.
