Treating the Memory

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost cast her eyes over to Cowspot. He doesn't need this! We were getting somewhere! "You'll have to excuse me, Goldenfur. My pacient is stressed, and I need him to relax in order to recover. Go ahead and get started of Bluepaw, and get Rainpaw to help you. If there is something you both don't understand, notify me immediately."

She said it simply enough, but managed to add in the slightest hint of aggitation. She then turned back to Cowspot. "You were doing very well. Those 'bits and peices' are going to help you link this whole mess together."

[Deleted]

Goldenfur nodded and surried out of the den avoiding Cowspot. I guess she hasn't throughly looked her over, she is covered in blood!

[Deleted]

CowSpot looked over at DappledFrost, his ears twitching.

"Why did she growl at me?"

He wanted to know exactly, for it might help him out.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost winced. She had been wanting to avoid this topic for Cowspot's sake. But it looked as if she wouldn't be having that option.

"That she-cat was Goldenfur, Bluepaw's mother. When you brought her daughter back into camp covered in blood, she must have thought that you didn't try to protect her. She... Well, she didn't exactly feel like listening to your story. She just knew that her daughter had been brought in, covered in blood, by the cat who was supposed to be watching over her."

The medicine cat paused after that, not wanting to go into how Cowspot had asked her for death.

CowSpot's ears twitched a bit, his yellow gaze going on his paws. He felt something sting on his flank. He licked his right flank, running over a few scratches that seemed to be open slightly.

He ignored it, and moved his gaze back towards DappledFrost.

"I understand.. Was I watching her carefully?"

He was now interested in this subject, and he wanted to remember, but nothing seemed to click.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost nodded, even though she wasn't sure herself. She hadn't been there to know or not. But that was not important at the moment.

"Yes, you were. You were watching her as good as any cat would have been. But LurkClan seems to have been a bit better."

The words came awkwardly. The she-cat was finding herself at a loss for them, and she turned her head, suddenly interested at the wall of her den.

[Deleted]

CowSpot blinked, for some reason he didn't think he was watching her carefully. He looked at his paws, and scuffled them.

His nerves started to become calm, his fur staying flat. He turned his gaze back at DappledFrost.

"I..Remember what LurkClan is.. A.. clan filled with.. rogues? Or Loners?"

He wasn't sure for certain, thinking something like that happened in the past.

[Deleted]

"Yes. I suppose that they are a mix of both of the groups- loners and rouges. But overall, they are just a band of flea-ridden flea-bags trying to pass of as a Clan of forest cats."

Her dark brown tail lashed behind her. Normally it wasn't in her nature to feel such anger towards any cat. But for the lowlifes of LurkClan, she was making an exception.

[Deleted]

CowSpot sat there, looking at his paws, searching his mind.

Another came back, it was the gathering, and he was sitting near the front. He watched the leaders, and listened carefully. Suddenly, a yowl broke the leader's talk, everyone's heads turning towards the yowl.

It was a white tom, who was quite slender. A group of cats was behind him, as he went near the middle of the group. He went by FallenStar, at least so he says.

A white she-cat ran out infront of them, and began insulting, then disappeared.

He shook his head, and looked at her.

"I remembered something of the Gathering.. Fallenstar, is that the leader? He interrupted it, and.. well.. threatened us. Then a white she-cat ran infront of them all, and insulted, then disappeared. Did that happen?"

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost nodded again. Her neck was becoming quite sore, but she was putting that aside for now. "Yes, that's right. That's what happened. You're recovering quickly. Keep it up, if you can."

[Deleted]

CowSpot's ears flickered about. He sort of noticed how tense she was, but he put it aside. He needed to focus on returning his memory.

"What happened to the she-cat? Did she return to her former clan, or did she become apart of LurkClan?"

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost shook her head, unsure. "I'm not sure... But it seemed as if she was leaving. I hope not, though. The last thing we need is for Clan cats to join up with LurkClan."

[Deleted]

CowSpot just nodded, his paws starting to scuffle among themselves.

He thought that he should rest, so he laid down, his paws tucked under his chest. His eyes closed, drifting off for a bit.
