Pinmpaw let a small smile creep on her face and she pushed her face into the beautiful she cats fur and stayed there for a good while before speaking again. "I will prove them all wrong" she said opening her eyes. Filled with determination. They saved me for a reason" she said.
~
"I have to. He must warn the clan to stay away from the nursery to prevent sickness. He will also need to set up.more hunting patrols to ensure the clans fed well so nobody else gets sick" she said "but I will warn him to stay away. He dosnt disobey me" she smiled softly

"Yes!" Iriswish exclaimed with a purr to her voice. "That's my girl..." the Deputy swiveled her ears around and turned her head. She heard something in the distance. Her pupils narrowed into slits but her face crossed with worry when she saw the shape of a massive cat come hurtling clumsily through the underbrush. She shifted, standing in the sand with Pinkpaw behind her. She bared her fangs as the feline burst forth onto the shore. Amber hues met giant, terrified pale blue pools. "Pumpkinpaw!"
"You have to..." she panted, the little orange and white she-cat fluffed up to twice her normal size. "I need to see R-Rabbitear and W-Wavestar... It's urgent! There's Greencough in Meadowclan."
"Stars in Silverpelt... this early in the season? Yes, yes, come! Let's go." Peeling away from Pinkpaw, Iriswish began to lead the two young healers back toward Bayclan's camp. ~ "Thank you, Amberfield... bless you."

Pinkpaw rushed alongside pumpkinpaw "there's green cough??!! I will go get rabbitear! Iriswish will take you to see wavestar! We will meet you in the leaders den!" She said and rushed to the medicine den. Bursting in she looked at her mentor "pumpkinpaw is here! There's green cough in meadowclan she says" she spoke and turned heel and ran to the leaders den.
~
wavestar was just about to fall asleep when she heard hurried pawsteps approach her den. Raising her ear she smelt the air "what in starclan...? It's much to late for anyone to be awake..." she rose from her best and sat. Waiting for someone to speak to her.
~
"This is my job shallowwater. And I love it. I don't love seeing my clan suffer but healing is what I love" she said and left to go speak with breezestar

As the three cats rushed into camp, they split off in proper directions. Rabbitear had finished sorting his moss and had moved on to seeds and leaves, multiple piles of herbs laid about in neat, tidy piles. When Pinkpaw burst into the den, the wind caused the many plants to stir and he growled in frustration. He whipped around to snap at his apprentice but saw the dyer look on her face and he instantly flicked back his ears in worry. "What's happened?" he asked, instantly reaching for a pile of cobwebs. "You were only gone half an hour... Is Iriswish sick? Is she breathing?..." but then the apprentice blurted out the reason for her distress and Rabbitear's eyes darkened. He gathered up some leaves in a larger one and wrapped them with corn silk. He tied the knot tight then took the bundle in his teeth and headed swiftly after Pinkpaw to the leader's den.
"Pumpkinpaw of Meadowclan is here," Iriswish told her mate quickly. "She has come for herbs. There is Greencough in Meadowclan."
"Two kits and a Queen," Pumpkinpaw panted, dipping her head respectfully to Wavestar. "We have it contained but the kits are very sick. I ask permission to borrow herbs from Bayclan."
"We have enough to spare for now," Rabbitear mumbled around the stock of leaf as he entered the den, Pinkpaw at his side. "Our crop of catmint has one more good haul before it freezes out for leaf-bare. If you think we can spare it, Wavestar, I concede."

Wavestar looked at rabbitear "are you positive that it's green cough pumpkinpaw? What if it's just white cough? Do you have no cat mint in your territory?" She asked with a slight hint of warry in her tone. She had always been protective over herbs since iriswish wasn't the healthiest of cats. "I need you to be sure" she said and flicked her tail
~
Pinkpaw sat listening to wavestar question pumpkinpaws knowledge on wither of not it was green cough. She took a deep breath and stood up "wavestar, with respect I dont think amberfield would of sent pumpkinpaw here if she wasn't positive as well that it was indeed green cough." She spoke and glared at her leader.
~
Wavestar glared back "stand down pinkpaw, this is not time for you to test the waters on where you stand" she said "our herbs are valued, and are needed. I need to make sure that they are truly needed"

"It is Greencough..." Pumpkinpaw flicked back her ears. "If we have any catmint grow in Meadowclan, we'll replace it as soon as we can. But without the forest to protect our herbs, they rot out more quickly in leaf-bare..." she began to tremble. "If you can't spare it, I can go to Woodclan and see if they have any catmint to spare..."
"We have enough," Rabbitear said firmly, his ears burning hot with aggravation toward his leader. Why did she have to question Pinkpaw? If he had said what she did- Wavestar wouldn't have argued as much as a whisker. "I can spare a few leaves for some sick kits and a Queen. Pumpkinpaw, I'll hold you to your word on replacing them if you can. Make sure Amberfield knows that as well."
"I will, I swear it," Pumpkinpaw was sounding increasingly desperate. "May I take the herbs, Wavestar?" she asked, trying her best to sound respectful.

Wavestar flicked her ear. "Very well. You may take the herbs. Send my well wishes for your clans health back with you" she said and looked at pinkpaw before lurking back deeper into her den.
~ Pinkpaw scurried pumpkinpaw out of the den and ran to the prey pile and grabbed a bird someone had caught earlier. She put it infront of pumpkinpaw "eat this, you need strength and a full stomach to run back to your camp! Eat it quick" she said and kept a look out
~ Wavestar looked towards iriswish "those herbs are important to us iriswish. You understand why I had to make sure right?"

"I'll get sick if I eat then run," Pumpkinpaw said softly as she took the herbs from Rabbitear. "Besides... I don't want to intrude. Thank you both so much... Meadowclan won't forget this." She touched her nose to Rabbitear's own then nuzzled Pinkpaw's cheek. She cast her friend a final thankful glance then took off, bundle between her teeth, as fast as her paws would carry her across the cool sand.
Rabbitear watched in silence until he could no longer hear the young she-cat. He flicked an ear. "It's been a long night," he said after a long stretch of silence. "It's time to rest." ~ "I understand," Iriswish said with a softer tone than she had used toward her mate in hours. "But we cannot let innocent kits die... Thank you for your mercy. I'm sure Breezestar won't soon forget it."

Amberfield sat outside the nursery. She tried to avoid going in if she didn't have to give them medicine or check them but she wanted to keep close just in case. Her ears glued to the sounds of harsh breathing and coughs from the nursery made her frown.
Breezestar had been notified and he immediately sent out a few cats to go hunt, maybe they would be able to catch a rabbit or two trying to graze in the moon. Amberfield hoped that they brought back prey.
~
Pinkpaw nodded and made her way into the den. Crawling into her nest, she laid down and curled into a tight ball. Her eyes getting heavier as she felt the day catch up with her body and she felt drained.
~
"Innocent kits shouldn't die your right" she said and glanced out of the den "but breezestar will probably just see this act as us thinking they can't take care of their sick. He's stubborn " she said and let out a sigh "oh well" she said and laid back into her nest and looked at iriswish. "Going to the warriors den..? Or...."

The tranquility of the sleeping camp was disturbed by the frantic drumming of paws. Pumpkinpaw burst back into the camp, her flanks heaving with the effort of her journey. Her feet ached from running but she only slowed once in front of her mentor. She lowered her head, laying the bundle of precious herbs that had been given to her at Amberfield's paws.
"It should be..." she panted, licking her lips. "M-More than enough." ~ Iriswish flicked an ear, staring down at her nest by Wavestar's side. She lashed her tail then exhaled. "I can never go to bed angry at you..." she said softly, leaning down to nuzzle Wavestar's ear. "I love you... even when I think you're wrong," she said with a touch of warmth in her voice as she settled into her comfy nest of moss and feathers. She curled up tightly, her pelt brushing Wavestar's own. She tucked her nose into her tail and exhaled all the breath in her lungs. "I pray for Meadowclan... Greencough this early in the season is never a good sign."

Amberfield smiled with pride "Well done pumpkinpaw! Now go get some moss and soak it with water. It's going to be a long night of watching over them" she said and took the herbs and before entering the nursery she looked back "have some prey too. You have earned it" she said and rushed into the nursery to give the herbs to the sick.
~
"I fear what starclan has in store..." she said and laid her head on her mates side "we must keep the clan safe...and healthy" she whispered and took a deep breath and fell asleep.
(Time skip, let's say to the medicine cats meeting)

(Sounds good to me, babe!) --- ***Half Moon*** "Eat these- they're strengthening herbs. You'll need them for the journey..." Rabbitear pushed over a leaf with some assorted herbs on them. He twitched his whiskers at Pinkpaw and looked up at the sky. The moon was nearly at its highest point in the sky. It was time for them to go. "You will be careful?" Iriswish gave Pinkpaw's cheek a soft nudge. "Do exactly as Rabbitear tells you." "If I didn't know better, I'd think she was your kit, Iriswish," the gray tom said with a trace of slight warmth to his voice. Iriswish purred at his comment, her amber eyes bright. "That, my friend, is the highest compliment I could ever be given. Thank you."

Pinkpaw sniffed the herbs, quickly downing the herbs she chewed and swallowed. She giggled and purred at iriswishs nudge and comment. "Yes iriswish, I will be careful. And I will follow rabbitears lead" she smiled and flicked her ear. She headed towards the camp exit and awaited for her mentor to follow her. She was excited to see pumpkinpaw again. But also excited to possibly see starclan.
~
Wavestar stood beside iriswish. She had noticed iriswish had become much closer to pinkpaw since the last gathering. Flicking her ear she looked at rabbitear "check in with amberfield. I want to know if the green cough in meadowclan has been dealt with" she meowed

"I shall. We'll see you later..." Rabbitear dipped his head then turned on his swift paws, flicking Pinkpaw on the back. With a nod to Iriswish and Wavestar, the two were off.
Rabbitear stuck close to Pinkpaw as they walked through the silver-lit forest. He always made sure their pelts brushed as they walked. As they neared the Split Rock, the giant boulder that rested on the tip of all three territories, he lifted his head. Pumpkinpaw and Amberfield were already waiting for them, huddled close together against the cool night wind. When Pumpkinpaw spotted the other apprentice, she brightened visibly and slid off the rock, bounding over to Pinkpaw with excited skips.
"Hiya Pinkpaw!" she trilled, pushing her face affectionately across the other molly's cheek. "Great to see ya! You look amazing- coat shiny as ever. How's the training going?"
"Hello Amberfield," Rabbitear greeted the Meadowclan Medicine Cat, bounding up the rock's facing to meet her. They touched noses briefly. "Waiting for Pigeonfeather I see... It isn't like her to be late. Anyway- how are the kits and the Queen who had Greencough? Did they all survive?"
(Bluekit didn't make it.)

Post by joyfulkitty on Sept 2, 2021 3:09:47 GMT -5
Pinkpaw smiled at pumpkinpaw "hey! Hah hah thanks" she purred in reply to the excitable she cat. "Training is going pretty well. So much to learn. But I am enjoying it" she purred "just the other day I had to take out some porcupine quills from redpaws nose. He ran into a bush without smelling and well..." she giggled slightly "that happened" she flicked her tail "hows meadowclan?"
~
Amberfield nodded "yes, we are awaiting Pigeonfeather. But I am sure she won't be much longer" she meowed. She then frowned at the mention of the kits "Oh...well...shallowwater and shinningkit both recovered...but bluekit...I am afraid is with starclan now" she said and sighed "it's unfortunate. Shallowwater is heart broken over the loss, as is breezestar. And the whole clan feels for them. But life goes on" she said. "But we have recovered from the green cough, we appreciate your aid with giving us cat mint, pumpkinpaw did very well to fetch them for me" she said and looked towards her apprentice who was talking with pinkpaw. "Its time for her to recove her name once we get to the moonstone" she said to rabbitear quietly. "I am so proud of her"

"S'kay..." Pumpkinpaw looked down at her paws. "Bluekit died from Greencough. We treated her as soon as I got back to the moor but... she was dead in the morning. It's taken everything Amberfield and I have to keep Shallowwater alive. She hardly eats and we have to give her herbs constantly to keep her milk going for Shiningkit. She's strong but without her mother's milk, she won't make it to six moons..." she shook her head. "It was my first loss... Oh, Pinkpaw, I hope I never have to watch another kit die... she took her last breath in my paws. I can't do it again... I still hear her rattled breathing when I close my eyes at night.
---
"Oh, may she rest in Silverpelt now..." genuine grief washed over Rabbitear's face as he gave Amberfield's shoulder a comforting lick. "There is nothing like the pain of losing kits... especially ones so young... But Starclan has blessed you with a wonderful apprentice. A name well deserved, I'm sure..."
"I'm here!" Pigeonfeather's tired mew came from downwind as she picked her way out of the forest of Woodclan's territory. She looked absolutely exhausted, her cheeks and eye sockets hollow and her pelt messy from lack of washing. She shook her head as she trudged up to the rock and leaped atop it, nearly falling but Rabbitear caught her scruff to steady her.
"Stars Pigeonfeather, what happened to you?!"
"I've been working my paws to the bone," she said with her gruff voice. "There is Greencough in Woodclan. Cardinalstar has lost a life already and he's still laid up sick with it. Half the apprentices have it and one of our Elders died just this morning."
"Great Stars!" Rabbitear's ears flicked back in shock. "I've never seen such aggressive Greencough this early in season... it's going to be a long leafbare."

"I am so sorry that it happened pumpkinpaw..but we are healers. We do everything we can to heal. The rest is in starclans paws" she said and nuzzled into her friends fur and licked her comforting the she cat. She looked towards the two medicine cats as pigeonfeather ran over. Pricking her ears she heard that cursed word. Green cough. She walked over
"Green cough in woodclan too?" She blinked and frowned "but isn't it too early for Green cough to be this harsh rabbitear she asked her mentor. Concern flooding her eyes. She feared bouekits and the elders deaths would not be the only ones to happen this coming leafbare.
~
Amberfield blinked "come we can talk as we walk. Pigeonfeather shouldn't be kept from her clan for too long" she said and walked beside pumpkinpaw and looked at pinkpaw "it is too early for Green cough indeed pinkpaw. And the fact it's this agreesive is concerning. Maybe prey can carry it in now?" She theorized and flicked her tail "or it could be somthing in the air" she meowed "what ever it is...we must be diligent. And do all we can" she said and after some walking they made it to the Moonstone.
She stopped by the Moonstone and sat "before we begin. I have somthjng I wish to say" she said and looked to pumpkinpaw "pumpkinpaw" she meowed "you have grown into a amazing cat, with such energy and pride in your work. Yiu treat every task with such care and importance as if you were helping a queen deliver for their first time" she purred
"I know lately you have been having a hard time. But your handling it with such maturity. And I could use your fill advice and knowledge" she meowed "it's time for you to earn your full name. And take your place as a full medicine cat " she said

Pumpkinpaw's blue eyes filled with wonder and her mouth opened a bit in shock. She quickly closed it and danced from paw to paw before settling down, trembling, a mouse-length in front of her mentor. "Y-Yes Amberfield. I will do all I can to protect and serve Meadowclan."

Post by joyfulkitty on Sept 2, 2021 4:00:13 GMT -5
Amberfield chuckled at her apprentices excitement "pumpkinpaw. You have done well in training to be a medicine cat, and I, amberfield, medicine cat of meadowclan have seen your skill and drive and deem you ready to receive your full name in the eyes of starclan" she purred "from this day on until the end of time you will be known as pumpkinseed" she meowed and smiled. She rose and stepped aside. Letting the newly made medicine cat approach the Moonstone and meet starclan as a full medicine cat for the first time.
~
Pinkpaw smiled and went to cheer but realized that it probably wasn't somthing that was done for medicine cats. She held quiet and awaited for permission to go to the Moonstone and meet starclan. When rabbitear and the rest did it, she did as well. She drifted into sleep and awoke in a star filled fields. She looked around. A little lost of what what happening.

"Pumpkinseed! Oh- it's so cute!" Pumpkinseed's voice came out a squeak. She instantly snapped her mouth shut and hunkered down, curling her tail around her paws. She gave a nod then stood quickly and touched her nose to her mentor's own before Amberfield turned away. Her blue eyes beaming, she bumped Pinkpaw's side as they headed to the Moonstone. As the two apprentices settled down between their mentors, Pumpkinseed smiled at Pinkpaw.
"Happy dreaming," she whispered as she pushed her nose against the cold, pale stone and went still.
---
In Starclan, thoughtful green eyes swept across the soft, pale apprentice. From a patch of starry ferns, outstepped an incredible Warrior. She was a very tall, skinny she-cat with a frame so lithe she nearly looked sick- if not for her sleek, tight muscles. Her fur was short and a stunning silver color and she was littered with darker gray flecks. Her ears curled inward toward each other and she had a long, skinny tail that ended in a tuft. Her beautiful emerald eyes locked on Pinkpaw with warmth and affection as she padded over on fox-swift paws. She dipped her slender, fine head to the apprentice and touched her nose to Pinkpaw's ear.
"Welcome, little one," she greeted with a husky, motherly voice. "I am Herringflash... I was Rabbitear's mentor. It's so nice to finally meet you."

pinkpaw looked at the tall she-cat and flicked her fluffy tail and smiled "its nice to meet you too Herringflash!" she meowed as she looked into her emerald eyes. She felt uneasy, as if she was being too unformal with the lovely she cat. She then dipped her head low and closed her eyes "its been a great honour to be rabbitears mentor. he is teaching me to be a wonderful medicen cat" she said. She then looked back at the she cat "so this is starclan?" she asked and looked around more "its very calm here"
she meowed "what do i do in starclan when i visit the moonstone?" she asked

"Mhmm... very peaceful, I'll agree," Herringflash replied as she turned on her nimble paws. She used her tail to guide Pinkpaw along, the two of them walking side by side through the tranquil forest. "This is part of Starclan- yes... the territory goes on forever, undivided." She flicked an ear, as if debating to say something else but she decided not to. "When you come to the Moonstone, your Warrior ancestors will come speak to you. Sometimes we have not much news. Sometimes we have too much. It depends on what we need to tell you... and what you need to learn." Herringflash motioned with her tail toward a steam across the forest clearing. There was a stunning black she-cat with a white-tipped tail sharing a vole with a massive brown and white tom-cat with fierce blue eyes. "The black she-cat is Jadestar- she was leader before Wavestar. And the tom is Heavystar- he was leader of Woodclan long ago."

pinkpaw followed the slender she cat. listening to every word that was spoken. she turned her head to the stream and seen two cats sharing the prey that had been caught "i have heard of jadestar! she was the cat that created the current bayclan camp, was she not? when woodclan chased us out of a chunk of territory they had our camp" she meowed in awe "she really looks as beautfial as i imagined" she saids. she was tempted to go across the stream and great the leader, but decided it wouldnt be polite. she was sharing prey. it would be rude to intrupt "okay, so...do you have anything to tell me?" she asked. Excited to see if there was anything for her to know

Suddenly, Herringflash seemed a little less warm. But only for a second. The next instant, her fur smoothed as she lead Pinkpaw down toward a shimmering pool full of stars. The former Medicine Cat peered at the water's glass like surface for some time, her green eyes seeming to see something that Pinkpaw's pink hues could not. After a while, she exhaled and her breath shook the surface of the water. The pool swirled and shifted and a vision flashed across the place the stars had been. Members of Bayclan were circled around something, their heads bowed low. Pinkpaw, much older and bigger, sat beside Rabbitear, leaning on him with grief coming off her body in waves. Then, Rainshimmer looked up at the Highstone, her eyes cloudy with pain.
"What do we do now?..."
"We will travel to the Moonstone at once," Rabbitear said, standing up and turning on his paws. "We shall be back before midnight."
"But the clan!..."
"Can survive without us for a few hours. You're Senior Warriors- you know what to do!" the tom snapped, using his tail to guide his apprentice along. "We'll be back with answers. Let's just pray the stars have them..."
Then the vision swirled away and Herringflash let out a soft mew of concern. She looked into Pinkpaw's eyes, her own filled with grief and discomfort. "With the new tide shall come a storm. Clouds will be pink or red with blood. And the water will be stained forever." She leaned forward and touched Pinkpaw's nose with her own, the long-legged she-cat already beginning to fade into a mist of starlight and moonlight tendrils. "The road ahead is hard, Pinkpaw, and filled with trials and pains you can't begin to imagine. Don't forget the forgotten and know that as long as there is breath in your lungs- I shall always walk with you."
---
"Pinkpaw?" Pumpkinseed nosed her friend's side, her voice sounding slightly more tired than it usually did. "Wake up- the others are ready to leave."

pinkpaw lifted her head with a start and panted heavily. She looked around to get attunded to her surroundings. She met eyes with pumpkinseed "oh, pumpkinseed, its you" she sighed and stood to her paws. Feeling slightly unsteaded she took a bit more time go regain her composure. She looked at the cats and flicked her tail. She smiled at pumpkinseed "well, i guess back to the clans hey?" she meowed and made her way to her mentor.
--- Amberfield nodded "yes, we must return back to our clans. Pigeonfeather, i wish you luck with healing your clan. If you need our aid, we are always here to help where we can" said the beautifal she cat. she then looked at pumpkinseed "come, let us get back to shallowwater and shiningkit. We must check on them before the sun rises" she meowed and dipped her head to rabbitear and pigeonfeather and headed away from the moonstone.

"Thank you, Amberfield," Pigeonfeather sighed, shaking her head. "If only Starclan had answers for me..." she gave Amberfield's cheek a lick then nosed Pumpkinseed's ears. "Congratulations, young one. You deserve it. And you?" she blinked at Pinkpaw. "Keep learning. You'll be a force to be reckoned with someday..." she gave the white apprentice a nuzzle then flicked her tail across Rabbitear's shoulder. "I'll send for help if I need it... Stars be willing, I won't need it..." and the long-legged she-cat took off at a quick pace, padding as fast as she could without running back toward the Woodclan border.
"Starclan's grace go with her," Rabbitear mumbled under his breath as he and Amberfield took to the front, walking side by side as they headed back toward the territories. Pumpkinseed gave her pelt a shake as she fell in dutifully beside Pinkpaw. She sensed her friend's distress and flicked an ear.
"You okay?" she whispered. "How was your first visit? Wolftail- a Medicine Cat from Meadowclan from long ago- came to me and wished me congratulations. I've never seen a Medicine Cat look so big and scary! I thought for sure he was a Warrior."

Pinkpaw flicked her tail at pumpkinseeds words about her visit with starclan "It was nice at first" she whispered "but then rabbitears mentor Herringflash showed me a pool of water, and i seen bayclan huddled over somthing. and then rainshimmer asking what happens next" she meowed and looked up at the stars "then rabbitear takes me to the moonstone to get answers from starclan" she said and looked at pumkinseed "then she said to me 'With the new tide shall come a storm. Clouds will be pink or red with blood. And the water will be stained forever'" she finished and blinked "what do you think it means?" she asked
---
amberfield walked beside rabbitear "shes learning fast, do you think she is ready to get her full name as well?" she asked in a hush whisper to not let the two cats behind them hear. "She cant be an apprentice forever" she meowed

"No, she's not ready. Not even close," Rabbitear replied quickly, his ears flicking back as they came to the border between Bayclan and Meadowclan. Rabbitear's pupils narrowed into slits and he cleared his throat. "Time to go, Pinkpaw. Say bye to Pumpkinseed for now."
Before the fluffy orange and white she-cat had time to reply, Rabbitear's voice caught her off guard. She gave a nod and she licked Pinkpaw's cheek. "I'll see you at the gathering, okay?" And she bounded over to Amberfield's side, taking her place beside her mentor.
"Farewell. I send my blessings to Meadowclan," Rabbitear said as he turned on his paws. Pumpkinseed nodded.
"And we send ours with you! Bye Pinkpaw."
As Rabbitear and Pinkpaw pulled away, he peered down at her with harsh blue hues. "Discuss what Starclan shares with you with me. Not a cat from another clan."

Pinkpaw flattened her ears and dipped her head low "i am sorry rabbitear, i didnt know that was a rule" she meowed and flicked her ear with regret "but starclan did speak with me! i think it was a Omen! or..somthing" she said and tilted her head in thinking "i am not sure what it was...but it seemed important" she meowed as she walked with her mentor.
"oh! i got to meet herringflash! shes so nice! and i seen jadestar too! i didnt talk to jadestar. she was sharing prey with another leader" she meowed and blinked "um...um" she said trying to think of what to say to her mentor next.

When Pinkpaw began to ramble on about her experience, Rabbitear lightened a little. His eyes brightened when she mentioned Herringflash and he even let out a small purr... but it all dropped when he heard they left her an omen. Rabbitear paused and looked down at Pinkpaw, his eyes sharp with interest. "I spoke with Starclan too... I talked to my mother." He flicked an ear. "Tell me what Herringflash told you- what you were telling Pumpkinseed."
