MOVE IT. [Mousefur/Dappledfrost/OPEN]

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk limped into the Thunderclan camp, blood dripping down from the cavity where his gold eye had been. There were numerous cuts across his pelt and three across where his eye had been. The opposite ear was ragged and cut. His scarred paw was bleeding and he just kept going though. He was alive. He was stable. And he had just gotten rid of the biggest threat to his clan's future and his mate. He left a trail of bloody footprints and a trail of crimson splatters in the dirt. Now what?

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost was also padding into camp, her jaws cluttered with the last of the shriveled dock leaves she could find. But what she saw ahead of her made her drop her bundle. "Riddlehawk?" she cried, immediately bounding over to him, the dock temporarily forgotten. Her blue eyes widened as she took in his ragged image. Numerous cuts, and heavy bleeding to go with them. A torn ear, and- Great StarClan, his eye! She quickly sniffed him over. "Riddlehawk, what happened? Where's Tanglestar and Rainpaw? Who attacked you? Oh, never mind that now. You can walk so find a spot in my den immediately!" She turned to grab the leaves, then headed straight into her den to prepare herbs.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk chuckled in amusement at Dappledfrost's flusteredness. Even injured and bleeding as he was, he was still as easygoing and laid back as ever. He limped after her to the den, taking a seat calmly. "I got into a fight with Froststorm again. Tanglestar had me gather up a small envoy to escort herself and Rainpaw to Riverclan territory so they could speak with Crookedstar. Hah, crooked indeed." Riddlehawk shook his head in amusement. "Anyway, Crookedstar told Tanglestar to have her Warriors leave, apparently we were a threat. She said any force necessary was fair game, so naturally Froststorm took full advantage of the order and attacked me. When that happened we fought for a bit and he tried to push me into the river. So I manuevered back and away which must've irritated him, causing him to swipe at my eyes and well. I'm sure you can see what that has done." The tom shrugged, flickering his tail calmly. "Tanglestar and Rainpaw are still in the Riverclan camp for all I know. I just followed Tanglestar's orders and rather than disobeying her and bleeding out being an idiot, I came back."

[Tanglekit]

Mousefur smelt the small tinge of blood mixed with her favorite scent. She ran out into the clearing and ran to the tom that looked torn to shreds. "Riddlehawk What has happened? Where is Rainpaw and Tanglestar?", she asked full of worry. She slid in next to the tom and leaned up against him. She started to lead him to the medicine cats den when she saw his eye. "Oh No! What happened.", she whimpered licking the blood away.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk nuzzled Mousefur gently. "It's okay, Mousefur. I got into a bit of a scuffle with Froststorm. He attacked me after Crookedstar said to use any force necessary to get me and a couple other warriors out of her camp. Tanglestar had me get a small envoy to escort her there. She told us she'd be fine and to leave. Naturally Froststorm said he'd 'escort' me out. He took advantage of the opportunity the attacked me. We fought for a bit but eventually I gained the upperhand and I finished him." He said, licking her cheek. He winced slightly as she licked under his eye. He flicked his tail about a bit, looking over at Dappledfrost.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost quickly padded back in a worried but irritated huff. "You shouldn't be so calm! You need to realize what sort of condition you're in." Her mew was sharp to cover the stress as she carried over the herbs and cobwebs. She set them down beside the deputy, and gently nosed Mousefur away. The medicine cat looked him over quickly. "There's not much I can do for your eye or ear except clean them, unless you want to cover it with cobwebs. Rainpaw can-" she stopped, remembering her apprentice was still in RiverClan. "Well, Mousefur can do it. Can you dip some moss in that little stream over there?" Not waiting for an answer, she began chewing the marigold for a poultice. Once thoroughly transformed into a pulp, the brown she-cat spat it onto her pad and rubbing it on the worst of the wounds. "No matter how good you feel, I'm telling Tanglestar that you have to lay off warrior duties for a few days and stay here. I don't want you getting these cuts infected or reopened."

[Deleted]

"Would you rather me be panicked and not letting you get near me, Dappledfrost?" Riddlehawk asked, smiling lightly. He gritted his teeth when she started pawing his fur gently. He laid down on his belly so she could reach his injuries better. "I just need to figure out how I'm going to work out missing an eye."

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost just rolled her eyes at his remark. "Its just a bit irritating, your behavior. Too calm when you shouldn't be." She finished smearing the marigold onto the wounds, then turned her head to examine Riddlehawk's eye socket. She frowned. "I'll tell you now, it won't be easy adjusting to this. Your lucky you still have one good eye left, though." She gave it a sniff. "And be warry of it. I don'y need you pricking your brain with a twig or claw."

[Deleted]

"I won't. You know I'm more careful than that. Besides, the skin will grow back over it soon enough and it'll look somewhat natural. My father lost an eye when I was a kit and I saw how it healed." Riddlehawk explained.

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost nodded, allowing herself to slightly relax. She then turned round, and gathered up a couple of cobwebs. "Alright, hold still..." The medicine cat began to carefully plaster the delicate webs onto the tom's exposed flesh to stop the bleeding. Since there were so many, the she-cat was forced to use up most of her supplies, making a mental note to gather more later. Once the wounds were covered, Dappledfrost took greater care still to wrap the sticky thread around his torn ear. The brown she-cat then stepped back to observe her handiwork. "That'll do for now, though you look like living cobweb. Be sure not to tear those!"

[Deleted]

"I promise not to shred them to bits. Now....can I go grab something from the freshkill pile?" Riddlehawk said, shrugging lightly so as to not tear the cobwebs and drive Dappledfrost bonkers.

[Deleted]

The medicine cat twitched her whiskers. "Very well. But by StarClan if I find one cobweb out of place I'll have you stay in here for an extra moon!" The slightest hint of an amused purr escaped her, and her flicked her tail friendly. "I'm sure Rainpaw wouldn't mind. He gets bored."

[Deleted]

"Mmm. I know he does. Thanks for your help, Dappledfrost." Riddlehawk said, getting up rather gingerly. He limped slowly out of then den, towards the freshkill pile. He looked it over once, picking up a mouse and padding a little ways off to eat it. He must have looked strange sitting there eating. Covered in cobwebs and missing an eye. Oh dear, how the other cats would stare!

[Deleted]

Brr! Man, it was cold. It was so freezing in the Warrior's den, since not many warriors were sleeping in there, besides one tom. He was skinless, which was awkward with all the other cats, which made very little like him.

He openned his eyes slowly, perking up his head, as he hears yowls of sadness, surprise, coming outside.

He got up, arched his back, and stretched his paws outwards.

His skin looked like rolls, with the tan coloring, and pink splotches all over. His brown eyes stared blankly at a wall, until he padded out.

Now, he was quite shocked, the way RiddleHawk looked. He had no eye, and looked quite battled up, since so many cobwebs were masking his whole body.

He tried to hide in a little snort, but it came out suddenly, which made him feel uneasy.

To make that up, he padded slowly over to him, his big ears flicking.

"What happened?"

Riddlehawk looked up at Kestralspot and smiled. He'd never really gotten to know him, but that didn't matter right now. Not much. Just got into a fight with Froststorm again. He said, chuckling quietly.
