In a time when nobody needed a hero... the clans got one anyway.
Pinkstar was born a rarity in her clan, an albino. She was sick for the first portion of her life and barely survived.
As an apprentice she became a Medicine Cat and earned the name Pinkcloud.
But when both Bayclan's leader and Deputy died from a mysterious illness, the clan was left in chaos.
Until a message came from Starclan.
And the decision was unprecedented.
Follow the journey of Pinkstar as she grows from kit to leader in this incredible story of self discovery and defeating the odds.
Nobody said it was going to be easy.
But nobody ever said it would be this hard.

Pinkpaw went deeper into the den and pulled some ivy out of a pile and headed towards redpaw and songpaw. putting 2 leaves of ivy infront of each of them "eat these. make sure to chew them very well. Then rest" she meowed as her ear twitched as she listened to rabbitear grumble about Hawksight.
'noted, dont mention hawksight is his brother' she thought to herself as she seen redpaw look at her. She blinked but turned to go help Rabbitear with Sagepetals wound.
wavestar sighed "and i assume They will claim it was our doing and we started the fight at the next gathering" she groaned "stupid treeclan..."

"Treeclan is a nuisance, just don't worry about them too much. I'm sure Cardinalstar will be furious that his patrol attacked one of our own. He hates useless bloodshed more than any cat in the forest. Don't you worry about it now," Rabbitear said as he made sure both apprentices ate the herbs that Pinkpaw gave them. As Songpaw and Redpaw settled into their nests, he flicked an ear to Wavestar and began to patch Sagepetal's shoulder.
"Wavestar, it's getting late now... why don't you go rest with Iriswish? My apprentice and I have it under control."
(Maybe after the next reply or so we can skip ahead a few weeks to a meeting?)

Wavestar looked over at pinkpaw then back to rabbitear. She nodded "Alright, I see it's all in good paws" she said and looked at her mate and left the den with iriswish. She didn't head to her den though. She stood near the sandy ledge she had meetings on and sat down. Looking at her clan she flicked her ear. She took a deep breath in and listened to the sound of the clan settling in for the night, the sound of kits not wanting to settle in their nests, apprentices giggling in their dens, and the waves crashing along the sand barrier that protected the camp from large tides. She smiled as she coughed. "This is a great clan..." she said and looked down "I need to protect it more then I do..."
Pinkpaw watched the apprentices settle down and went to help Rabbitear. Looking at her mentor she held moss in her mouth and cobwebs. Hoping they would be of some kind of help. She didn't want to bring any herbs that rabbitear had not asked for, but she knew that moss and cobwebs were always a good thing to have when it came to wounds. Her eyes gazed outside of the den. Becoming distracted as she seen wavestar sitting in silence in the distance. She could see her speak words, but couldn't hear what the leader was saying. She looked worried. And that wasn't good.
(Yeah for sure we can skip a few weeks, let's say it's turning into leafbare and wavestar is starting to get a little sicker and prey becoming harder to get in bayclan)

(Perfect!) *** Three Weeks Later *** "Alright, everybody listen up!" Iriswish's voice rang clear from where she sat at the base of the Highstone. "Tonight we'll be taking a larger patrol to the meeting than usual. We don't want to look weak after the boarder skirmish with Treeclan. Both Wavestar and myself will be attending, as well as both of our Medicine Cats." Hawksight's pupils narrowed at the idea of Pinkpaw going to the meeting but he didn't interject as the Deputy went on. "Cinderfog and Foxcry shall attend along with Echopaw, Songpaw, Graypaw and Stormpaw. Sagepetal and Redpaw are still a little sore from the skirmish and we don't want them injuring themselves on the journey." "I'm not going?" Hawksight called immediately. "With both myself and Wavestar gone, as well as two of our strongest Warriors and most of the apprentices- we need a level head and reliable Warrior to remain in the camp to guard it. And with Sagepetal still favoring her shoulder, if something happens- the other Warriors will need help." This answer seemed to subdue Hawksight and he gave a nod with a grunt. Wavestar stood at the entrance to camp and waved her tail, looking rather thin and rough. Iriswish coughed into her paw as she began to lead the meeting patrol toward their leader. "The moon is rising to its peak- it's time to go! Come on everyone," the Deputy called. As they went along, Rabbitear stayed close to Pinkpaw, matching her paw-step for paw-step. "You'll meet the other Medicine Cats tonight," he told her. "We'll need to set up a day to go to the Moonstone so you can speak to Starclan... it's a very important part of your training. Tonight is a big deal. Don't do anything foolish you may regret later. Okay? Stick with me and don't speak to anyone unless I tell you that you can- it's safer that way. Understood?"

Wavestar flicked her ear as she lead the large group of cats out of bayclan camp. Her eyes glanced towards rabbitear and pinkpaw. Who were a tail length away from her and iriswish. "Pinkpaw should really stay in camp" she commented and looked at iriswish. "Roght now we don't need to be showing her to the clans" she meowed.
Pinkpaw smiled with excitement "I get to meet other cats! This is no exciting! What so we talk about with them? Herbs? Messages from starclan?" She began asking and flicking her fluffy tail in excitement. She was being so excitable, it seems she had not heard what rabbitear has said to her. "Are there other medicine cat apprentices??" She asked as they walked behind the leader and Deputy.
-----meadowclan------
Breezestar grumbled as he climbed over the rocks that surrounded the clearing that the clans used for their gatherings. He looked over at his Warriors that he brought with him. Flicking his tail he watches them file into the clearing. Looking at his Deputy sandshutter, he made his way to his spot. To await the other leaders. He sat up on the flat rock and flicked his tail. He had things to do. Gatherings were really a waste of time and pointless in his eyes.
The Medicine cat amberfield sat on a patch of sand in the clearing. Her eyes scanning her clanmates, and her ears pricked towards where the other clans would come into the clearing from. She looked at her apprentice and smiled.

"I disagree," Iriswish said softly, walking alongside her mate with tempered steps. "She's albino- she doesn't have two heads. She's a Medicine Cat in training, Wavestar. Meetings are important times for clan healers. She needs to get acquainted with the Medicine Cats in other clans and she needs to learn firsthand how dynamics work between Bayclan and other clans. We can't coop her up in the camp forever- and we shouldn't. It's not right. All because her eyes are pink... we'd never ask a white cat with blue eyes not to go to a meeting. We shouldn't treat her any differently. She deserves to learn and grow and have experiences just like everyone else. And Rabbitear will protect her. We all will." ~ "Messages with Starclan are usually not discussed between Medicine Cats of other clans unless they are seeking out your counsel. It is rude to ask," Rabbitear told his apprentice as they went along. "You'll introduce yourself and discuss your training. There is one other Medicine Cat apprentice- Pumpkinpaw of Meadowclan. Remember that Medicine Cats have different codes and different regulations with other clan cats and boundaries aren't the same for us as it is for Warriors. But even though we may have friends in other clans, our loyalty must stay to Bayclan. Do you understand?"
---
A yowl sounded from the entrance to the clearing and Cardinalstar, a big ruddy-red-and-brown tom came sprinting up the way. Behind him was an impressive patrol of cats- including his Deputy- Cherrystem- and the Medicine Cat of Woodclan- Pigeonfeather. Leafbreeze was also present, as well as Brightdawn, Birchpatch, and Mallowhaze. Of the apprentices, there was Honeypaw, Tawnypaw, and Toadpaw. Cardinalstar leaped up beside Breezestar- nearly stepping on his tail as he took his place beside him.
"Breezestar," he greeted the Meadowclan leader with a nod. "How is the prey running back home for you?" ~ "Do you think I'll get to meet Bayclan's Medicine Cat apprentice this time, Amberfield?" Pumkpinpaw, the fluffy orange and white she-cat, asked her mentor with wide, bright eyes. "I would love to swap knowledge with her!"

Wavestar flicked her ear and said nothing more. She new her mate was right, but she didn't want the clan to see bayclan as weakened. Strength was one thing she made sure the other clans knew that bayclan did not lack. She had even at one time wanted medicine cats to train in battle moves along side warriors. But it was shot down by rabbitear.
She huffed and looked back at her clan "we are entering the clearing, everyone! Remember we are a strong clan! Do not share anything about sick or injured clanmates! Our clan is as strong as ever" she said and climbed over the rocks and entered the clearing. Padding up to where breezestar and cardinalstar were. She sat down and looked at them "hello cardinalstar" she spoke and his a head dip and looked at breezestar with a slight glance. "Breezestar" she said. ~
Pinkpaw nodded "I understand rabbitear" she said "bayclan is my home. Why would I be disloyal to it?" She asked and heard wavestar. She followed rabbitear and widened her eyes seeing the large group of cats. "Whoa...that's alot of cats" she said and flicked her fluffy tail "where are the other Medicine Cats?" She asked her mentor. Her eyes scanning the large crowd of cats. Some sitting alone, some talking and laughing. And some looked at her.
----
Breezestar looked at cardinalstar "the prey is running fine, if your warriors would stop crossing the borders" he snarled and seen wavestar enter the gathering. He flicked his tail and snorted. His eyes glacing at the cats the bayclan leader had brought he narrowed his eyes as he spotted pinkpaw along side rabbitear. He then looked back at wavestar "a awful alot of cats you bought with you today wavestar? Trying to compensating maybe?" He smirked ~
Amberfield chuckled "it's very likely you will meet their new apprentice. But remember. This is their first gathering. So try not to bombard them with too many questions. This will all be alot to take in. I remember when you came to your first gathering. You were very nervous" she said noticing bayclan appear "and here is bayclan" she said and seen rabbitear "Oh, that white cat beside him must be his new apprentice" she said.

"Too bad you have a sick Deputy..." Iriswish whispered under her breath as she padded in, paw-step for paw-step with her mate. She took her place at the base of the Highrock and gave a small nod to the other Deputies- Cherrystem and Sandshutter. She began chatting idly with Sandshutter- as he tended to be more level-headed than Cherrystem- and kept an ear perked to listen for the meeting to begin.
Cardinalstar gave a loud, boisterous laugh when Breezestar accused his clan and he flicked his tail as if dismissing the thought. "Oh, you humor me, Breezestar. You truly do... Woodclan has no desire for Meadowclan prey and you know that. We hunt in the trees and you all, well... with your bellies to the ground. Rabbit simply isn't for us. But I appreciate the humor... Oh hello Wavestar!" he greeted with his usual warmth. He flicked her shoulder with the tip of his tail. "I hope prey is running- swimming?- well in Bayclan!..." then he lowered his voice and leaned in close so only she could hear. "I wanted to apologize for the skirmish on the boarder the other day. I want you to know that I talked to Cherrystem as she lead the fight without my knowledge. It won't happen again." He waved his tail and lifted his head. "You may begin the meeting when ready, Wavestar." ~ "Chin up. Be proud. Don't you look at your paws, do you hear me? You have nothing to be ashamed of," Rabbitear said to his apprentice sternly, shooting daggers at some of the Warriors who dared to gawk at her. He swept Pinkpaw with his tail and hurried her along through the crowd. "Come now, let's go see the others. Ah, there they are. Over by that flat white rock..."
"Hello Rabbitear!" greeted a thick, stocky she-cat with gray and white fur. She had pale blue eyes and her thick, fluffy tail was curled over her paws. "Greetings to you."
"And to you," Rabbitear meowed back, slightly less prickly than he usually was. He dipped his head then beckoned Pinkpaw forward. "Pinkpaw, this is Pigeonfeather- Medicine Cat of Woodclan. Pigeonfeather, this is my apprentice, Pinkpaw."
"So you've finally chosen a new apprentice," the she-cat murmured, her eyes cloudy with sympathy. "I know how hurt you were when Robinpaw disappeared."
"Hurt... doesn't describe it. Thank you for your kindness, Pigeonfeather."
"I prayed many nights for his return..." the broad molly shook her head and gazed up at the stars. "Sometimes, even the stars can't change things..."
"Hi!" the chipper meow broke the solemn silence as the fluffy orange and white she-cat tore over to Pinkpaw and touched noses with her fondly. "Hi, hi, hi Pinkpaw! I'm Pumpkinpaw- I'm the Medicine Cat Apprentice of Meadowclan. Stars, it is so nice to meet you! I love your fur- it looks so silky! I can't wait to talk to you about all the neat tricks I've learned and about tansy and thyme and dandelion leaves, oh oh! And poppy seeds and..."
"Pumpkinpaw," Rabbitear said in a slightly amused voice but his usual growl was still there. "Give Pinkpaw time to adjust. This is her first meeting." He flicked his tail in warm greeting as a white, cream, and hazel colored tabby came padding over. "Pumpkinpaw, this is Amberfield- Meadowclan's head Medicine Cat. Amberfield- Pinkpaw- my new apprentice. Say hello."

Wavestar nodded "thank you cardinalstar. The prey is running very well. I appreciate your asking. And I also appreciate your attention to the situation that happened and that it has been dealt with" she said and looked at breezestar "ain't compensating for anything breezestar, let's get this meeting going" she said and rose to her paws and let out a yowl. "Bayclan has been doing well. Our apprentices are training well, and prey has been plentiful this season. We have been truly blessed by starclan" she spoke. She glanced over towards rabbitear and pinkpaw.
It was common to call out a new med cat apprentice when they came to the gathering for the first time, but she felt nervous to bring it up. She pushed it aside and looked at the group of cats "we have had one loss this season. Driftstep, who had been a warrior, retired to the elders den and served as a elder as he had served bayclan for many moons. Starclan has welcomed him into their ranks" she said and dipped her head down in respect.
~ Pinkpaw went to speak but was intrupted by the loud pumpkinpaw. She took a step back a bit in shock at the she cats forwardness. She wasn't sure how to talk with pumpkinpaw. But when the apprentice was silenced her attention drew to the meadowclan medicine cat amberfield.
Amberfield smiled at her "I am sorry for pumpkinpaws excitability. But she loves meeting new cats and talking about herbs" she meowed "we are working on her approach to new cats" she meowed and smiled at pumpkinpaw "but I am glad rabbitear is your mentor. He is wise, and you will learn a great deal from him" she meowed and looked up towards where the leaders began to speak.

Cardinalstar seemed ready to speak but Rabbitear flicked back his ears in annoyance and pushed to his paws, shooting Wavestar an icy glare. "I have taken on a new apprentice... It has been nearly two years since Robinpaw went missing. It was time for me to take on another to learn the ways of healing. My apprentice is Pinkpaw and she is already showing signs of compassion and intelligence. She is an asset to Bayclan and should be rendered as such." His voice rang out loud and clear and Iriswish winced. Wavestar should have introduced her... but her nerves got the better of her.
"Yay for Pinkpaw!" Pumpkinpaw cried excitedly, bouncing from paw to paw. Pigeonfeather chuckled lightly at the orange and white cat's excitement and covered her mouth with her paw.
"Is that all from Bayclan?" Cardinalstar asked with us usual good-nature. When nothing else was said, he gave a small nod. "Breezestar, you go next."

Wavestar looked at rabbitear and flicked her ear. She did not challenge his words. But she would have a discussion with the Tom when they returned to camp. She turned her attention to breezestar.
Breezestar stood and smirked "of course, meadowclan is doing great as always. The rabbits are plump, and slowly this season and there are many of them. So we are well fed" he purred.
"SunPelt has just given birth to 4 health kits just this morning. 3 Tom's and a She-kit. And Dewberry has given meadowclan a litter of 2 kits. Two She kits. We appreciate our queens for providing the clan with new warriors.
"Along with the subject of new members, we have three new apprentices, which could not make it today for their first gathering but will be here for the next one" he meowed "and lastly, fox paw has passed his Warriors assessment and recived his warrior name. He is now Foxleap" he said and smirked at wavestar. "Seems I have more to say then you do" he said then looked at breezestar. "You can go I suppose" he yawned

"Praise be Starclan for being so good to Meadowclan and Bayclan these past few moons," Cardinalstar purred, wrapping his thick, long tail around his paws. "Congratulations on your new apprentice- Rabbitear. It's been a long time coming and it easily well deserved. Breezestar- I pray for good health for your Queens and their kits. I am sorry for the loss of your Elder. We ourselves have been blessed with much fortune. Woodclan has two new apprentices- Honeypaw and Tawnypaw. We have a new Queen- Suneyes. Her kits will be due before the next full moon. Finally, my incredible mate, Wrenflight, has given birth to another healthy litter of kits. I have a son- Branchkit and a daughter- Sorrelkit." ~ "Another litter?..." Rabbitear whispered then he lowered his head. "Cardinalstar and his mate have many litters of kits," he told Pinkpaw softly. "Too many more and half the clan will be of blood and will be his sons and daughters." ~ "The squirrels have been fat and slow and we have not at all gone hungry," Cardinalstar continued. "Finally we have two new Warriors as well- Finchwing and Snowybird. May the seasons continue to bless all of our clans as splendidly. If the leaders have nothing else to say, we can draw this meeting to a close. Take a moment to mingle amongst yourselves and then we'll divide. May Starclan light your path..." he turned to Breezestar and dipped his head then did the same thing to Wavestar before jumping down from the Highrock- concluding the meeting. ~ "He sure is somethin', huh!" Pumpkinpaw said softly. "I think Cardinalstar is so nice! Especially compared to Breezestar."
"That isn't a very nice thing to say about your leader," Rabbitear reminded her softly.
"Well... maybe not. But it's true. He's awful grumpy!"

Wavestar listened intently to cardinalstar. Twitching her tail stub she knew the meeting was coming to a close. ~ "Isn't it a good thing to have many kits in a clan?" Asked pinkpaw 'more kits means more warriors" she meowed to her rabbit eared mentor. Seeing the leader jump down from the rock she looked towards pumpkinpaw who began to talk to her. "He see s very calm and level headed" she meowed to pumpkinpaw and flicked her ear slightly.
"Wavestar is nice too, I am glad I have wavestar as my leader. She's wise, and does what she can for her clan" she spoke. ~ Amberfield looked at pumpkinpaw "you best mind your tounge pumpkinpaw. Breezestar is your leader. Show him some respect. He may be a grump, but he is still a young leader. And has a bit to learn" she spoke and looked towards the leaders. ~ Breezestar dipped his head back to cardinalstar and left his spot and started to head towards the exit. ~ "Come pumpkinpaw. Say your good byes we must go, nice to meet you pinkpaw. Good luck with your training. Nice to see you again pigionfeather, rabbitear. May starclan bless you" she spoke and started to followed breezestar. Meadowclan warriors following suit. ~ Wavestar lept from her place on the rock and went to iriswish "Well, I suppose we should head back to camp" she said and nuzzled her forehead.

As the clans began to separate, Iriswish found herself beside her mate, walking so closely together that their pelts were brushing. She waited until they pulled ahead of the clan to lean over. "You should have spoken about Pinkpaw first..." she said in a soft voice so only Wavestar would hear her. "It made us look foolish. You know I love you and support you... but you should have spoken about her yourself." ~ "Oh, bye Pinkpaw! I'll see you at the halfmoon!" Pumpkinpaw had already turned away but then she doubled back and pressed her nose warmly against Pinkpaw's cheek. She dipped her head to Rabbitear then took off, nearly stepping on Amberfield's tail as they walked along back to Meadowclan. --- "If I had a quarter of her energy, I wouldn't have to sleep for days," Rabbitear commented gently. He flicked Pinkpaw's back with his tail. "Come, we've fallen behind the others. Stay with me. And don't listen to the gossip from other clans- it'll rot your brain." ~ As he turned to leave, Cardinalstar flicked his tail gently only once against Breezestar's own. He flashed him a look over his shoulder before heading up and out of the hollow, leading his clan back to the trees.

Wavestar looked at her mate "i will be having a word with rabbitear when we return to camp" she said and flicked her tail. "I did not announce pinkpaw for a reason" she spoke and blinked. They walked through the partially treed area of their territory. "I did not want to bring any unwanted attention to weak members of the clan" she said
~
Amberfield looked towards pumpkinpaw "easy there. Deep breaths" the she cat said as she padded along with meadowclan. "Did you enjoy meeting pinkpaw?" She asked with a flicked of her ear. Her eyes focused on the path home but her ear turned to listen to the excitable pumpkinpaw
"have a good relationship with her. Someday, when me and rabbitear are gone, you two will have to work together to prevent illnesses in the clans and build a bond" she meowed. ~
Pinkpaw followed after pumpkinpaw has pressed her nose on her cheek. "Did I.make a good impression?" She asked rabbitear as they walked. She seen way ahead of the group wavestar and iriswish whispering to eachother. She put her attention back to her mentor "Why do we have gatherings anyways?"
~
Breezestar watched cardinalstar walk away. The gathering area empty he frowned with pain. He touched the spot where cardinalstar had sat and sighed. Standing to his paws he lept from the rock and followed after his clan. Taking up the rear.

Iriswish lashed her tail in annoyance and looked forward, her whiskers twitching as they neared their territory once again. "Rabbitear did nothing wrong. He spoke up for his apprentice where his leader did not. Unwanted attention? Weaker? What makes you think she's weak? She's a fast learner and growing well. All because she's different, it doesn't make her weak..." Iriswish pulled away from her mate a bit and began to split off toward the left. "Perhaps I should sit with the other Warriors at the next meeting- since we're hiding our weaker members these days." She turned her head away then dropped back, falling into line with the apprentices as they neared their camp. ~ "You did perfectly well," Rabbitear told her but there was still a slight growl to his voice as he watched Iriswish pull back to be with the Warriors and apprentices of the clan. "We have meetings to share news and to be on mutual ground so that we can communicate freely with the other clans without the worry of violence. Meetings are sacred, bound by truce under Starclan that there shall be peace while we are gathered. All clans may be separate but there is no need to be enemies." He flicked his tail. "What did you learn tonight, Pinkpaw? Can you tell me what each leader from the other clans look like?" ~ "I had so much fun!" Pumpkinpaw chirped up to her mentor, her eyes gleaming. "Pinkpaw is so nice and so pretty and I think she's going to be such an amazing Medicine Cat. I didn't get to tell her about the trick with poppy seeds... maybe at the halfmoon!" she pressed fondly against her mentor as the other Meadowclan cats talked around them. Pumpkinpaw's eyes darkened and she shook her head. "I don't want to think about you dying, Amberfield... you'll be alive for a long time yet!"

Wavestar sighed. She was about to call her mate back over but entered camp before she could. She flicked her tail as a few kits ran up to her "wavestar! Wavestar! Tell us about the gathering!!" They cried out. The She cat chuckled "maybe tommorow. I don't see why your awake. Go back to the nursery. Now" she ordered softly. The kits pouted and were pulled away by their mother who profusely apologized to wave star.
~
"Um...cardinalstar is...a big Tom with redish brown fur...and...yellow eyes. He's level headed from what I could hear and he's leader of treeclan" she said and thought more "and breezestar is..." she closed her eyes as she walked as she tried to focus on what the leader looked like "a lanky Grey dappled Tom...with..yellow eyes too? He is young and is kinda mean. He's leader of meadowclan" she said flicked her tail "was that good?"
~
Amberfield chuckled "death comes to all of us pumpkinpaw. I just hope I will be around to teach you for many moons. But, I have been thinking...it may be almost time for you..to receive your full name" she purred and stopped and looked into her apprentices eyes "what do you think? Are you ready to become a full medicine cat? And all the responsibilities that come with it?"

As Iriswish broke off to see the apprentices back to their dens, Hawksight padded up to Wavestar, his one good eye glistening. "How was the gathering?" he asked. "Did anyone mention the border skirmish the other day? What did Cardinalstar have to say for himself?" ~ "Woodclan, not Treeclan," Rabbitear corrected as they entered the Medicine Cat Den. "Yes, that is good. As a Medicine Cat, your boundaries are different from regular Warriors. You will need to know as much as possible about each clan. If we ever need to go to other territories, you will see that addressing leaders is important. Breezestar is a young leader but he is doing well for Meadowclan. He works hard and his clan loves him and sees his loyalty... some cats are harsh because they know no other path." He flicked an ear, a note of thoughtfulness creeping into his voice. "How tired are you?" ~ Pumpkinpaw paused, her eyes stretching wide. The pretty orange and white she-cat fluffed up, her tail nearly twice the size of her body. "Oh, Amberfield, do you mean it?... I mean, only if you think I'm ready of course. I... I feel like I have so much more to learn! But if you think I can take it on, I can! I won't let you down- I promise, I won't!"

Wavestar blinked "I just returned and I am VERY tired. I will discuss this tommorow with iriswish and the other senior warriors. No problems here back in camp I pressume hawksight?" She asked as she yawned.
~
"I will have to address leaders???!!" She widened her pink eyes "but..why?? I mean you will be with me. I won't have to, you can do that! Right???" She asked as she stepped infront of him "I can't talk to the other leaders!! What if I say somthing wrong and...make them mad??!! Send the whole clans into war??!!" She cried out panicking.
~
Amberfield touched her nose to her apprentices forehead "I know you won't. I want to see how you do taking some.more tasks on yourself without me guiding you. So do your best" she said and kept walking

"It was calm as graves," Hawksight replied, his pupils narrowing into thin slits. Something had the leader on edge. "How did the other clans take Rabbitear's apprentice? With how superstitious that Meadowclan can be, I'm surprised that nobody fainted and claimed she was a dark omen." He stepped aside so that Wavestar could head off to her den. She did look more worn than usual. ~ "I won't always be with you, Pinkpaw," Rabbitear replied, beginning to sort through some moss at the side of the den. Some of it was brittle and wouldn't do for water. He heard the panic rising in his apprentice's voice and his gaze hardened. He looked over at her, his acidic blue eyes cold. "When a cat goes in peace to another clan, they often bring a Medicine Cat. Sometimes Medicine Cats must go alone. You won't be taken as a threat because you're pacifistic. No Warrior shall harm you- it is wrong to attack Medicine Cats. They are allowed to transcend other territories... within reason. If you need... catmint, say, you could go to Meadowclan to speak to Amberfield or Pumpkinpaw about borrowing some. But... you would need to address that with Breezestar. It is respectful and will keep you in good graces and shall show you mean no harm." He lashed his tail and slammed a paw against the ground. "Now you stiffen your lip this instant. You are a formidable healer, a Medicine Cat in training, and my apprentice. You will not buckle under pressure. Unless you went to Meadowclan or Woodclan with the intention to start war- you could not. What war was ever fought from a healer asking for herbs?" he snorted hot air through his nostrils. "Now, be still. Deep breaths. Lift your head high and feel proud. Fear is a choice, Pinkpaw. Don't let it consume you." ~ "Yes, I..."
"Pumpkinpaw? Amberfield?" the soft voice was dripping with concern as a timid she-cat came padding quickly over to them. She was a pretty thing, slender and lithe with white fur that had black, silver, and blue dapples. Her hazel eyes were swirling with worry as she dipped her head to the Medicine Cats. It was Shallowwater- Breezestar's gentle mate. "I was... I, uhm... hate to bother you after the meeting, I'm sure you're both exhausted. But I'm worried about my youngest. Bluekit and Shiningkit are both coughing and neither of them will play..." her eyes darkened and she looked down at her paws. "Will you come look at them?..."
Instantly, a sense of unease began to creep up Pumpkinpaw's spine. Her good nature slipped away and a focused expression crossed her face. "Yes, of course. Let's go."

"Surprisnly the clans took it well" she meowed and looked over at iriswish. She flicked her ear and entered her den. Walking to her nest she plopped down and sighed. Feeling exhausted.
~
Pinkpaw took a few deep breaths and nodded "right...of course" she said and "and I am not tired at all" she said "do you need me to go fetch more moss?" She asked "there's a patch just above the ledge by a tree, I can go grab it" she meowed as she gathered up some of the old moss as well.
~
Amberfield nodded and followed shallowwater. As they entered camp, they went straight to the nursery. Entering, she hoped it wasn't what she she feared. But if it was, well at least shallowater was currently the only queen. So no other kits would catch it. She approached the kits and listened to their breathing and such. She looked at pumpkinpaw and stepped aside "I want you to check too. Tell me your observations " she spoke and let her apprentice come to her own conclussion. She had yet had to deal with green cough, but she taught her of the warning signs and symptoms.

"No," Rabbitear replied quickly- almost snapping. "Never go into the forest by yourself at night. I was just wondering if you'd help me make a poultice for Iriswish. She'll need it to sleep after such a long journey. She's sick, you know..." his voice softened. "Poppy seed, dandelion leaves, and honey. Then soak it in a moss-ball and take it to her." He flicked his large ears back. "I'm not sure why, but her and Wavestar are arguing. She won't be in the leader's den tonight. So off to the Warrior's Den you'll go." ~ Pumpkinpaw nodded, deadly focused. She leaned down and listened to each kits' labored breathing. Her eyes darkened as she licked their pelts- hot with fever. "Bluekit- are you hungry?" she asked softly and the little molly curled in tighter to her sister, resting her head on Shiningkit's flank.
"Uh huh... too cold to eat."
"Cold?"
"Freezin'..." she replied with a shiver as she tucked into her nest. Pumpkinpaw flicked back her ears as Shiningkit coughed, the effort rattling her tiny chest. She looked up, meeting Amberfield's gaze. "Whitecough possibly..." she whispered. "But the heat from their pelts is more of Greencough... either way, we need to check Shallowwater too to make sure she isn't infected. Even if she isn't, she will need to quarantine with the kits in the nursery so it doesn't spread."

She flinched at her mentors harsh word. "Yes rabbitear" she said and gathered the herbs listed and began to mix then together and soaked a ball of moss with the mixture. She picked up the ball of moss by putting it in a leaf. She padded into the warriors den and found iriswish "I have somthing to help you sleep" she meowed and put it infront of the she cat.
"....I know why wavestar didn't announce me" she said quietly
~
"I will check out shallowater, but I need you to run to bayclan. As fast as you can! Go and talk to wavestar and ask for herbs! We need cat mint. We have none left and all the ones we do have on our territory are still growing" she said "now quick! Go!!" She said

"Oh, my medicine! Thank you so much, Pinkpaw," Iriswish purred, sitting up in her nest. When the white she-cat spoke next, something sad and almost painful entered the Deputy's eyes. She shook her head and then nudged the leaf and moss-ball away. "I'll take it in a minute, first... you come with me." Using her tail to guide Pinkpaw, Iriswish walked with her around the empty, sleeping camp, heading toward the end of the hollow where the water was lapping up against the shore. Once their paws met sand, Iriswish sat and curled her tail around her paws, staring off across the glittering surface of the bay. "Wavestar is wrong. She was and she still is," she said firmly. "Cats... don't understand things that are different. But all because you are different, does not mean you are weak. Wavestar cares too much over the opinions of others. It took us a long time to come out as mates because of that. She fears scrutiny. Some would call that wise. I believe differently." ~ "Yes, Amberfield!" her tail high behind her, Pumpkinpaw turned on her paws and went sprinting across the moor, racing as fast as her paws would carry her into the thicket and forests of Bayclan. --- Shallowwater looked taunt as Amberfield approached her and she hung her head. "They're sick, aren't they?..." she said in a raspy voice as she coughed into her paw. "What's wrong with them, Amberfield? They were fine only yesterday, I swear it!"

"I..I wasn't supposed to survive though. I was ment to die in that medicine den as a kit. I mean...I am sure my parents would of preferred that" she said and pawed at the sand with her paw "your so amazing though iriswish! You are brave! And strong and you stand up for yourself! Me...I ain't that. I am weak.." she whispered
~
Amberfield looked at shallowwater "I know, I belive you. I don't doubt the care of these kits one bit. " she meowed and checked out the she cat "they are sick yes, and so are you. All you need to do is rest and stay in this den. Pumpkinpaw is going to bayclan to bring back herbs" she said and helped the she cat get settled into the nest. She then put the kits close to her "your kits will be fine" she said "we caught it at the early stages"

"Your parents are also fools," Iriswish said curtly without a trace of apology in her voice. "I wasn't supposed to survive either. Yet, here I stand, the last of my bloodline, the only kit of my mother and father. I was so sick my first eight moons of life, the Medicine Cat gave me a death sentence every other day. In the morning, Jadestar would pop her head into the healer's quarters and ask Herringflash if I was dead yet. That's how sick I was." She lifted her head high. "Every leaf-bare, the frost comes, Pinkpaw. It kills everything in its path; the leaves from the trees fall, the grass turns brown, the water stills until we have to get our fill from the ice. But in new-leaf... the frost falls and the life begins again anew." She looked down at the apprentice, her amber eyes filled with warmth and affection. "I am none of those things, Pinkpaw. I am scared every day that I will fall sick again to the point of being unable to tend to this clan. Every-day, when Wavestar's breath stirs my fur, I wonder if she will have enough of looking out for me. Fear is a choice," she said sternly, repeating the phrase that Rabbitear had said only half an hour before. "But you can choose to be brave too. You were sick... Yes, this is true. But you survived. And grew stronger! And playful and curious. Your mind is sharp and it holds every word Rabbitear has for you..." the Deputy slipped her paw under Pinkpaw's chin and lifted her head until the she-cat sat straight and her posture proud. "Being brave, being strong... is not just what you see on the outside. It is your character that counts, sweet cloud, what is inside your heart. And you have more heart than most of the Warriors I have known in my time. Wake up afraid every day if you must... but with every paw step you take forward, you choose to have courage. Prove your parents wrong. Prove your litter-mates wrong. Prove Wavestar wrong. Most importantly... defy yourself, Pinkpaw. Be more than you think you are. If you ask me as it is, I say you're well on your way." ~ "Will you tell Breezestar?" Shallowwater coughed as she coiled tightly around her kits. "I don't want him coming to see them while we're sick... the last thing we need is our leader to be weakened."
