Emergency! {MoonSpirit, CedarClaw, Open}

[Deleted]

SootClaw was sitting by CedarClaw, licking her left ear after it twitched.

"CedarClaw, I'm sorry for the things I've said... Just.. wake up and prove that I was wrong!"

Did he really mean it, that was the question.

He heard that he was to be getting thyme and all the other herbs she said, but he looked at MoonSpirit.

"I-Is CedarClaw going to be okay?"

His paws itched with unease, his ears flattening against his head.

Swiftfire sat a few steps away, her tail flicking in annoyance and irratation. If it hadn't been for Sootclaw, Cedarclaw wouldn't be in this condition. She just wanted to yowl it out at the tom, but she held her tongue.

She'd gotten to camp before the tom and now they waited for Moonspirit to help the she-cat. As she watched the tom, she noticed how he was very careful with her. He even pleaded with her to wake up and tell him he was wrong. Her ear flicked at this and she began to see Sootclaw is a different light than before.

[Deleted]

SootClaw was still in the same position, still saying what he said before. He didn't even notice that he was being watched from afar, nor did he know that FoxStar was now coming out of her den.

Of course, since of Foxstar's sight, she didn't know what was going on, all she saw was blurs in one particular spot.

She padded up to the cat who was a bit away, who was SwiftFire.

''W-What's going on?"

Hello?

A voice. A name. Hers? Both made her mind stir closer toward waking. Somewhere inside her head, she knew that voice. But no name could come. Her brain just couldn't think. But there was something that went along with that voice somewhere outside her skull. There was a strong emotion within her that sparked when it spoke. It too was unnamable, but it was still very powerful. Her eyes were still clamped shut, but she let out a long breath, like a cat just coming out of a good night's rest. "Soot... Claw." The muttered name slipped through her jaws even though she had no knowledge of it. She had no memory of anyone, especially not a cat named Sootclaw. But somehow the name had made it through the barrier in her mind.

[Deleted]

SootClaw almost leaped ten feet in the air when he heard that.

"Y-Ya, CedarClaw? A-Are you okay?"

He licked her cheek frantically, hoping that she was soon coming out of her trance. He wanted her up. He really did, but why? Why was this being so weird and awkward for him? He was being so gentle, and careful, saying all those things... and he actually believed that he might of meant it.

That Name

The voice came again. It seemed to have responded to whatever she had murmured. Was that a good thing? Did it mean something? She tried again, trying to put more effort into the noise, to put it together. "Soot... Claw. Sootclaw." It was as if she was talking in her sleep- Her voice sounded tired and worn out outside the small space of knowledge she floated in. But as her mind fought for control, it hoped that this word would bring her out of the strange darkness. Whatever the noise meant it was a tie to somewhere else.

Swiftfire looked up as Foxstar came towards her. "Cedarclaw got mad at Sootclaw and they fought. Sootclaw backed her up towards a rock and a sharp point hit Cedarclaw near her head causing her to bleed and become uncousious," she explained to her leader.

Her eyes narrowed at the sight of Sootclaw at the memory. Then a voice made her ears perk, it was Cedarclaw! Thank the Stars! Swiftfire stayed where she was though, with her leader until she was called over or she felt like rambling at Sootclaw.

[Deleted]

FoxStar nodded, and sighed.

"This is my fault, I don't know how but it is.."

She looked away, her ears drooped.

-

SootClaw's ears perked up with hope.

"CedarClaw, I'm here, I'm here! Stay with me, girl, please..!"

He murmured.

Reaching Out

The she-cat's breath was becoming stable, her lungs filling up with air. The far off voice was like the sun leading the way across the sky. She would follow it. She took a deep breath and opened her eyes a crack. Light poured around her, so sudden and unexpected that she winced away from it. But the surroundings soon became clear, and she fluttered her eyes open. There were four cats around her, all of them unfamiliar. Who's voice did I hear? Thinking back to a heartbeat before, the tortoiseshell realized the voice she had heard was an older male's. There was only one nearby- the black tom with worrying green eyes. It must have been him. She then blinked, and looked around at all the faces. "W-what's going on? Where am I?" As she spoke, she realized that she had many more similar questions. Like, who she was.

[Deleted]

"CedarClaw, you are in WindClan camp. You... You bumped your head.."

He nudged her shoulder gently, breathing in her scent deeply.

"MoonSpirit, I can handle it from here."

He murmured, touching her ear gently with his tail.

"C-Come with me."

He whispered to her, before padding over to an abandoned den that wasn't usually used anymore.

Going Crazy

"Cedarclaw?" she repeated, confused. Was he talking to her? And Moonspirit? Who was that? Warily she rose to her paws, hesitating when a dull pain pinched the back of her head, just where it gave way to her spine. That hurt. Rolling her shoulders in discomfort, she glanced at the other cats before padding after the black tom. As they left the den and entered the next, her orange eyes looked around her in wonder. This place- the tom had called it the 'WindClan camp'- seemed as strange as it was familiar, but she had no memory of ever being here before. She followed the black tom into the den, sitting down where she stopped inside. "I'm sorry, but, what's going on?" she asked timidly.

[Deleted]

The black tom sat down, his ears flickering.

"Hold on, I'll explain when I come back, stay here."

He left the den for a few moments, before returning with moss in his jaws. He placed it down by her, taking a few steps back.

"Here, lay."

He smiled at her softly, and laid down on the bare ground, not caring if he was uncomfortable.

"Now.. I may not be a Medicine cat.. but.. Do you remember anything..?"

I've So Alone Inside

Cedarclaw waited in the awkward silence when the tom left the den. The brief period of solitude gave her the chance to look around the clearing from the darkness of the den. There were scents of many cats, and of prey. The whole camp was a scoop out of the earth, giving way to the vast blue sky overhead. It all seemed so familiar. If only I could place it! The thought echoed sadly around her head. When the tom returned, she gave a small smile of gratitude and laid down to rest in the nest. But when he asked her the question her smile disappeared. She looked down to study her paws. "I-I can't remember anything, really. The only thing I can remember is waking up here." She glanced to him for help. "I mean, this whole place seems familiar, but I don't know why! But, I do remember saying something before waking up. I said Sootclaw. What's that? Is that you're name? Is mine really Cedarclaw?" The questions poured out from her mouth like a fountain. She felt so lost and confused it was almost painful. All this thinking was making the back of her head hurt again.

[Deleted]

He laid there in silence, and pain and regret stabbed at his heart like an achor. He did this, he caused this, and he wanted to make up for it. So, since she said those things, one thing popped in his mind.

"Well, Um, Yes... I'm SootClaw, your Mate, CedarClaw."

He winced a bit, and sighed.

"You were born in WindClan, here. You are a clan-cat, and you are a great she-cat warrior, the only she-cat warrior that I know who can be a warrior.."

He looked down at his paws, not really sure how to explain anything at all.

"FoxStar is our leader, who has one life instead of nine.. CedarClaw--"

He looked up at her.

"I'm sure things will come back to you if you stay with me."

He smiled warmly.

Taking Over Me

Cedarclaw blinked. I have a mate? That could explain the strong emotion she had felt when she had first heard his voice. The thought made her smile. He was a pretty handsome tom, and he seemed to care a lot about her. And it gave her a connection to the new-old place. That bit was really the only part she could comprehend, however. When Sootclaw started talking about Clans, warriors and leaders, she felt even more lost than before. "I really do hope they do, Sootclaw. If you say this is all true, it must be." She smiled again. She believe him without any doubts in her mind. He was her mate, after all. "You said I bumped my head earlier... Is that why I can't remember anything?" She tilted her head to the side.
