Once she had spread the poltuce, Dappledfrost padded just outside her den to make her own announcement. "All cats who were injured in battle need to come into my den immediately for treatment. Even if you think a scratch in nothing, I still want to examine it." She eyed Riddlehawk as he approuched. "That means you as well. Mousefur won't get any better with you hovering over her," she mewed calmly, then padded back into her den to fetch cobwebs.

But suddenly darkness took her. The camp was gone from around her. Panicing, she turned around. Farther away from her was a crumpled body of an apprentice. It was Rainpaw.

Dappledfrost blinked, and was back in camp. The vision of the unmoving body had been practicly burned into her vision. She turned to face Riddlehawk, her heart pounding. "Riddlehawk, where's Rainpaw?"

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk glanced up from his thoughts. I haven't seen him since the fight...........Did he make it back? he asked, his gold eyes wide. He turned, searching the crowd franctiacally.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost's eyes widened. "He's in trouble! I saw..." She skirted around the warrior to look around the camp for the apprentice in vain. A horrible inclination was dawning upon the medicine cat as she turned back to Riddlehawk. "We have to find him! He must still be at Sunningrocks."

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk turned back to her. I'll go find him. Mousefur and the others need your help right now. He said quickly, bolting back towards the Sunningrocks.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost nodded, watching the tom rush off towards Sunningrocks. She turned back into her den, muttering a prayer. "StarClan, let him be safe. May no young blood have been spilt on the rocks."

Twilightwing padded into camp, a rabbit in her mouth. Setting it down she glanced around before walking to go sit in a corner and wait.

Rainpaw felt as if he had just closed his eyes before they were back at camp. It was hard to open them, he was so tired..He just wished he could sleep. Through his vision was blurry and unfocused, he caught sight of Dappledfrost and she was the only cat in focus, she actually seemed to glow. What was going on? He winced as his head began to pound again and he closed his eyes again.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk loped over to Dappledfrost, laying the apprentice down gingerly so as not to jolt his injured leg. He flicked his tail anxiously. Here he is. He said, looking up.

[Deleted]

"Rainpaw!" she gasped, bounding over to where he had been brought in by Riddlehawk. Dread prickled at her fur as the she-cat remembered the vision of the apprentice's crumpled body. The medicine cat's eyes trailed down to the apprentice's leg, which was badly swollen and hanging at an odd angle. "Great StarClan... Riddlehawk, bring him inside." Dappledfrost went on ahead quickly, going straight to her storage to gather the necisary herbs.

[Deleted]

Rainpaw winced at how loud his name sounded in his ears and he forced his eyes open again to see the concerned face of Dappledfrost. Was....was he dying? Everything hurt so bad and darkness kept creeping along the sides of his vision, along with everyone looking so worried...He looked to Riddlehawk, his eyes questioning what was going on.

[Deleted]

Bluewillow saw Rainpaw and gasped. She was about the same age as him, if not a few moons off... She saw how delicate an apprentice could be.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk carried the apprentice into the den, laying him into one of the bigger nests. He flicked his tail anxiously, looking at Dappledfrost. Starclan, let him live!

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost returned quickly from the storage, her jaws crammed with comfrey and thyme. She sat them down at the edge of the apprentice's nest, and then let her nose hover over his injured leg and sniffed. No reek of infection from it, but just by looking at it the medicine cat could tell that many small bones had been broken as well as the major ones.

She looked up at Riddlehawk. "He'll live- but only if the leg is able to heal. At this point I don't know if it can, there are so many broken bones. But I'll do all that's in my power. StarClan won't take him yet." A determined but fearful glint in her eyes, the brown she-cat crouched down until she was level with Rainpaw. She pushed the thyme closer to his head.

"Rainpaw, can you hear me?" she murmured gently. "I need you to eat this. It'll calm you."

[Deleted]

Rainpaw opened his eyes to look at Dappledfrost, nodding weakly. He took the thyme given to him, only halfway through swallowing it, he gagged and coughed, spitting out some of the remains. "Tha....that's disgusting..." He murmured, his voice hoarse, but he could already feel it's affects taking over his body. "D-Dappledfrost...what's wrong with m-my leg....it hurts..." He said softly, eyes pitiful.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost's eyes softened. "Don't worry about that right now. You need to focus on healing." She didn't have the heart to tell those pain-filled eyes that his leg might never heal. Instead she picked up the comfrey in her jaws and began to chew it into poultice. Once it was ready she gently touched it to his injured leg to measure the pain.
