A few days later Starpaw woke up to Jayfeather shaking her.
"Is Sunpaw okay?"
"Yes, he's stopped coughing. He should be able to go back to his nest"
"Should I escort him back to his nest?"
"Sure"
"Come on, Sunpaw" Starpaw coaxed. "You can go back to your den now"
Sleepily, Sunpaw staggered out into the middle of the camp. Featherwind came running up.
"Is his okay? Sunpaw? Can you hear me?"
"Don't worry, Featherwind" Jayfeather said coming out of the medicine den "He's fine. All he needs is a good rest and he should be hunting and patroling tomorrow"
Sunpaw and Starpaw walked down the apprentice den.
"Hey Sunpaw!" A voice said "We've changed your nest's moss and lined it with feathers so you should get a good night's sleep!"
Sunpaw curled up into his nest and started snoring. Dawnpaw came out.
"I hope he's better soon. It's been so boring without him"
"I bet so," Starpaw replied "He always was coming up with the best games!"
Starpaw left the apprentice den and started heading towards the fresh kill pile. She decided for a vole and went to go eat. Moonpaw, Duskpaw and Dawnpaw joined her.
"I'm really worried about Sunpaw!" Duskpaw mewed.
"Same here!" Starpaw said "But I know he'll get-"
she broke off coughing. She saw bright lights shooting away from here towards the fresh kill pile. When she stopped coughing she glanced at the fresh kill pile. It looked like fire had scorched it and mice had been thrown everywhere. All the cats in the clearing were staring, fearfully, at her.
"Starpaw?" Moonpaw mewed. Not knowing what to do, Starpaw shot into the medicine den.
