A Kitten Emergency [Tagged/Open]

Silverpaw ran through the forest as fast as her paws would take her with a bundle of wet, white fur hanging from her jaws. Soon she was pushing her way into the Midnightclan camp. Her pace slowed ever so slightly as she glanced around the clearing, the stares of many other cats burning into her silver fur. She must have looked very strange carrying the unknown kit. Ignoring her clanmates questioning looks, she ran straight to the medicine cat's den and padded inside. The light was dim and the air was warm here. Laying the kit down as carefully as she could, she instantly wrapped herself around the wet kit, and she could feel that he had begun to shiver. "Spottedsky! Are you here? I need you!" She called for the medicine cat, and with every word it was more obvious that the silver apprentice was beginning to panic.

Frostkit felt another cat wrap around him and felt some warmth creep into his pelt, but his head was still pounding and he felt a little dizzy. Soon he stooped shivering and peeked open his big blue eyes. He was in an unknown place. He tried to recall what had happened but everything was fuzzy. The little tom closed his eyes again and curled up into a ball. His body ached all over and a strange numbness had crept throughout his body since he had been picked up and carried to this strange place. I just want to go home.

It seemed as though all Spottedsky ever did was spend time in his medicine den, doing nothing but sort herbs that were already sorted into uses. He was still useless, huh? Barely any queens asked for him, and kits just seemed to get smarter and smarter. He sighed, shaking his head slightly. This was not the life he imagined when he dreamt of being a medicine cat.

He had lost his mentor before he even got her, and he lost sight of two very important people: his apprentices. He was droopy today, down in the dumps as he gave up on the herbs. He laid down, curling into a ball. He was intent on staying there when he heard a fellow clanmember call his name. He lifted his head slightly, looking in the direction of the voice.

He could tell it was urgent by her tone, and he heaved himself up to his paws. "Yes," he replied back to the female apprentice, "I am here. Am I needed for assistance?

Silverpaw uncurled herself slightly from the wet bundle of fur that laid upon the den floor, bringing the white kit into view for the medicine cat. "I was at the border with Stormclan and this kit fell into the river.. He hit his head on the way down and hasn't responded to anything I've said! I think he coughed up the river water but there's still something wrong with him and I don't know if he's okay!" The words tumbled out of her mouth in a panicked rush. "Please help him, Spottedsky," she asked desperately, a nagging worry still hanging to her fur that he wouldn't, because he wasn't Midnightclan. He has to, though!

The little white tom mewled in protest as the fur moved from around him. Frostkit opened his blue eyes and saw that another cat had arrived. I'm going to be in so much trouble! He struggled to sit up but his head felt all fuzzy and his limbs felt heavy as stone. He looked at the silver cat that had rescued him and watched her mouth move. What's she saying? He recognizsed when she said 'river' by the way her mouth moved. He looked around. Where am I? He tried to walk forwards but tumbled to the ground. He was still wet and cold from when he fell. I can't wait to tell Blossomkit and Ravenkit where I've been! They've never even been outside of the camp! 

Edit: Sorry @lilykit, but I just wanted to tag you in case you hadn't seen my reply :3

Occ;; I see it, don't worry. ^^ I just have a lot of threads to reply too, and my muse isn't the most stable. cx

Spottedsky eyes the apprentice and the kit. This kit - he was not of Midnightclan blood. Usually, this small fact would not matter to Spottedsky, but this time was different. He had a prophecy hanging above his head, given to the clan by a former medicine cat apprentice. This kit could be that prophecy, although it was an absurd thought to think that this kit, on the verge of dying, could do anything. If anything, he might have health problems from now on because of this incident.

However, there was always the chance that Stormclan would think they were stealing a kit. Midnightclan didn't need more trouble than was already at their door. He thought about it for a second, even as he knew that seconds counted at the moment.

"Silverpaw," he meowed an order at the apprentice, "I'll help him, but we can't do it here. Take the kit and I'll take my herbs. We'll go to the spot where all this happened, and as I attend him, you grab the attention of either a Stormclan warrior or Nightpoppy herself, understood? I will not let this kit die on my watch - Midnightclan or not."

The silver apprentice blinked in surprise. She really didn't want to have to move the white kit again- but there was no going against Spottedsky's orders. Gently Silverpaw grabbed the kit by the scruff again and slowly padded over towards the entrance to the den as she waited for him. It would be another long trip back towards the river that marked the border with Stormclan, and she hoped the little kit would manage to pull through after all of this. She wondered why he wouldn't just treat him here. He must know how crucial the time they were wasting could mean for the white kit's life! What was the point of saving him from the river if he still died after all of this? She just had to hope that Spottedsky knew what he was doing..

[OoC: @lilykit are we continuing this?]

OOC: I'm so sorry that I haven't replied! It didn't notify me that you two had posted :p

The little white tom was suddenly lifted off of his feet and swung into the air again. Frostkit wriggled around, uncomfortable from his wet fur and pounding head. He closed his eyes again as everything around him began to sway. I wish that I had never come! Even telling Ravenkit that I had gone to the river wouldn't be worth all of this trouble... He began to drift off to sleep again, wanting to be away from this horrible place that the silver cat had brought him to. Just as he was falling asleep he murmered, Just wanna go home... It was one of the longest sentences that he had ever said. Despite the situation, he felt a prickle of satisfaction. I am good enough to be a warrior.
