Chapter 12

Icepaw's POV

Icepaw awoke and sniffed. She scented a lot of cats.

Wait why is there a different scent mixed with Streamclan? She asked herself. Just then the memories of yesterday came back to her.

Oh right the camp flooded and we went to Lostclan's camp. The apprentice thought. Icepaw slowly got up and stretched.

'Good morning Icepaw.' A cat meowed. Icepaw sniffed and found it was Lakestar.

'Oh hello Lakestar.' Icepaw meowed.

'How are you feeling?' Lakestar asked,

'Fine, how is my clan?' Icepaw asked.

'Fine, but Leaffire seems to have gotten a chill.' Lakestar meowed. 'She is with Echomist and Icewhisker at the moment.'

'I'll go and help, um can you take me over to the medicine cats den?' Icepaw asked.

'Yes of course.' Lakestar meowed. The leader put her tail on Icepaw's shoulder and led Icepaw over to Echomist's den. After thanking Lakestar, Icepaw walked into the den and sniffed. She followed Leaffire scent and soon found the young warrior asleep in a moss nest.

'Icewhisker?' She asked. No one answered.

'Echomist?' The den stayed quiet. Maybe they went to get some cat mint or something.

Leaffire groaned and opened her eyes to see Icepaw infront of her.

'Leaffire?' Icepaw asked.

'What is it Icepaw?' The warrior asked.

'Do you know where Icewhisker and Echomist are?' The apprentice asked.

'I think..' Leaffire was interrupted by a sneeze escaping from her nose. 'I think they went to get some catmint.'

'That's what I thought.' Icepaw meowed. 'I'll get you some lavender it may get rid of your cough along with some Feverfew just in case.'

Icepaw found her way over to the small fern bush where Echomist kept her herbs and berries. She got some feverfew and lavender and left the den. The white apprentice went back over to Leaffire and pushed the feverfew infront of her and placed the lavender next to her paws.

Leaffire sniffed it before pulling her head back.

'It's feverfew it will make sure, if you have a fever it will go down.' Icepaw explained. 'Just eat it.'

Leaffire looked at Icepaw for a moment before gulping down the herb.

'Okay now this is lavender.' Icepaw meowed. 'It should help get rid of your chill.' Leaffire nodded.

'Um do I eat it?' The tortoiseshell asked. Icepaw nodded.

Leaffire ate the herb before putting her head back down and going to sleep. Icepaw made her way out of the den and went over to Spotfur, who was waiting outside.

'Is Leaffire okay?' The warrior asked.

'She is sleeping now Spotfur but she should be fine, I gave her feverfew and lavender it should help get rid of the chill.' Icepaw meowed.

'Good.' Spotfur meowed.

'I'm going to check on the rest of the clan.' Icepaw meowed. 'Only let Lakestar, Icewhisker and Echomist in if anyone else come over and asks to go in yowl.' Spotfur nodded.

'Okay.' Icepaw meowed and made her way over to the clan. She first found Stonestar and Mistheart who talked at the back of the cats. Icepaw went over to them.

'Hello Icepaw what is it?' Mistheart asked.

'I have just come to make sure the rest of the clan is well, do you two feel fine?' Icepaw asked.

'Yes Icepaw we fell fine.' Stonestar meowed. 'Right?'

'Right.' Mistheart meowed.

'Well if you feel like you're getting sick come straight over and tell me, Echomist or Icewhisker.' With that Icepaw went around the clan. She soon found her way over to Brackenflight and Silverpaw at the edge of the clearing.

'Hello Icepaw.' Silverpaw meowed.

'Hello.' Icepaw meowed. 'Are you both feeling well?'

'Yes.' Brackenflight meowed.

'Well I feel a bit feverish.' Silverpaw meowed. Icepaw pulled her nose up and placed it on Silverpaw forehead. She pulled back her nose a few moments later.

'You both should come with me, I'll give Silverpaw some lavender and feverfew and Brackenflight you should take some to just in case.' Icepaw meowed.

'Okay.' Silverpaw meowed.

Icepaw and Brackenflight helped Silverpaw up and Brackenflight led the two she-cats to the medicine cats den. Icepaw followed Silverpaw into the den where Icewhisker and Echomist where talking. Icewhisker turned to his apprentice.

'What's this?' He asked.

'I went around and made sure the clan was alright but Silverpaw seems to be a bit feverish, Brackenflight was with her at the time so I told him that he had better come with me just in case he gets a chill.' Icepaw meowed.

Echomist nodded in approval.

'Good thinking we don't want another Streamclan cats getting a chill do we?' The Light brown she-cat meowed. 'Everyone else is fine?'

'Yes.' Icepaw meowed. 'As for Leaffire I gave her lavender and feverfew her chill should be gone by tomorrow.'

'Echomist I hope you don't mind if I use a bit more feverfew and lavender do you?' The apprentice asked.

'No, of course not.' Echomist meowed. 'I'll go and get some.'

The she-cat disappeared. Icewhisker walked over to Silverpaw and Brackenflight. The white tom put his nose to Silverpaw forehead and pulled it back few moments later.

'You are a bit feverish, there is some moss next to Leaffire go and lay down on it, Icepaw will come and give you the lavender and feverfew.'

Silverpaw nodded and went over to the moss bedding. Icewhisker turned to Brackenflight and did the same thing. But he pulled his nose back a bit more carefully.

'You have a small fever although you should get some herbs just in case it gets worse.' Icewhisker meowed. 'Go and lay down, there should be some more moss there.'

Brackenflight left and Echomist returned a few moments later. She placed the herbs infront of Icepaw.

'There that should be enough.' She meowed. Icepaw picked them up.

'Thanks.' The apprentice meowed and went over to the two cats. She placed the feverfew infront of Silverpaw and Brackenflight. She then placed the lavender next to her paws and smiled.

'Feverfew.' Icepaw meowed.

Silverpaw gulped it down as did Brackenflight. Icepaw pushed her paw over the lavender and then pushed it infront of Silverpaw. She then took a bit a pushed it over to Brackenflight.

'Lavender.'

Silverpaw hesitated but Brackenflight gulped it down. Brackenflight looked at Silverpaw before putting his head down and falling asleep. Silverpaw gulped the herb down and licked Brackenflight's ear before curling up and going to sleep. Icepaw went back over to the medicine cats.

'Icepaw go and get something to eat you must be hungry.' Echomist meowed. Icepaw nodded and made her way outside. She found her way over to Whitepaw and sat down.

'Hey.' Whitepaw meowed. 'I saw you taking Silverpaw and Brackenflight to the medicine cays den are they okay?'

'They just had a chill.' Icepaw meowed. 'They should be fine by the tomorrow, hey is there any fresh-kill?'

'Lakestar got some of her Warriors to hunt for us.' Whitepaw meowed. 'Here I got an extra vole.'

Whitepaw pushed the vole at Icepaw. The white she-cat sniffed and then gulped down part of the vole. Icepaw licked her muzzle and sighed.

Just then a vole rose from outside the camp and Twilightheart and Redfoot ran in. Feathercloud ran over to them.

'What is it?' The deputy asked.

'Sunclan is coming.' Twilightheart panted.

At that Lakestar, Stonestar and Mistheart ran over. Mistheart turned to Icepaw.

'Whitepaw get Icepaw into the medicine cats den!' She yowled. Icepaw felt herself being pushed away.

'Come on.' Whitepaw meowed.

Icepaw laid in a corner of Echomist's den. She heard yowling, bristling, hissing and growling. Suddenly she scented a Sunclan warrior in the den. She bunched up against the wall. Just then she heard a voice.

Icepaw you must save Brackenflight, Leaffire and Silverpaw you can win!

Icepaw jumped up and tackled the tom. Just do as you did when you were training to be a Warrior. Icepaw thought.

Icepaw scratched his cheek and jumped off him. She skidded back and then leaped at him again. Bringing him to the ground she bit his ear. The tom yowled.

'Leave my friends alone!' She growled. She jumped off the tom and hissed at him. He growled before running out of the den. Just then Icewhisker rushed in.

'Icepaw I saw Sunheart run in here are you okay?' The medicine cat asked. Icepaw nodded.

'I couldn't let him hurt them so I jumped at him and he left.' Icepaw meowed.

'That is amazing.' Icewhisker meowed.

'Icewhisker are all the cats gone?' She asked

'Yes Mistheart and Cinderfrost chased the last warriors out.' Icewhisker meowed.

'Is anyone hurt?' The she-cat asked.

'I think Lakestar and Amberpaw have scratches but nothing Echomist and I can't handle.' The Lostclan medicine cat meowed. 'You should get some sleep.'

Icepaw nodded and found her way outside. She found some moss near the entrance to the den and curled up. She found fell into a deep sleep.
