LeafClan ::Toxicstar's News From the Gathering::

[4icestar]

((It's been way to long now, so I thought I would go ahead and RP.))


Iceheart tapped her tail on the ground waiting. The medicine cat was not appearing. What am I going to do? She thought. She looked over her options. She could go and tell Toxicstar that WispDream was not appearing or she could wait a little longer. She pondered that for a couple moments and decided to wait a little longer.

Iceheart sighed. If she doesn't appear I'll have to face Toxicstar in a sour mood, she thought. Iceheart sighed again and waited. It seemed like a long time, so she left to tell Toxicstar the medicine cat was not appearing.

Iceheart criss-crossed through the clearing full of cats and walked slowly up to where Toxicstar was with Brindlepaw. She gathered up her courage then spoke, "Toxicstar, I waited for Wispdream and she did not appear. What should we do now?"

[midnightgem23]

"Toxicstar, I waited for Wispdream and she did not appear. What should we do now?"
The voice of the LeafClan warrior, Iceheart and two fimilar scents, Toxicstar and Brindlepaw! Why is the young one out here, when he's severely injured?
The black pelt of Duskwind appeared, then he shrunk back when he noticed Toxicstar. He shuddered at the sight of his leader, noticing her tense look. Getting to his paws, he jumped over the bush, his amber eyes glowing in the moonlight, "What happened to Brindlepaw? Why is he out here?"
He was worried for the young cat since he was brought in the medicine den.
Onto the subject, he sat down, curling his tail around his paws, "Last time I saw Wispdream, she ordered Jetpaw to watch over Brindlepaw, while she went to get herbs, to restock."

[4icestar]

Iceheart looked at Toxicstar to Duskwind. Would he really appear so sudden like that to Toxicstar in a sour mood? She thought. Iceheart explained to Duskwind what had happened to Brindlepaw recently, while taking glances at Toxicstar now and then. It was hard to tell what she was thinking.
Iceheart sighed when she was finished. How would this whole rouge thing turn out if the clans were getting further and further apart? What will happen to Brindlepaw? How will Toxicstar handle this? All of these questions were buzzing inside Iceheart's head; it was making her very dizzy. She then shook herself out of it, and sat up straight once again.

I hope they didn't notice that, she thought silently.

Toxicstar shook her head, hoping for her growing headache to at least clear up slightly. Sighing, she turned to Duskwind as he appeared. "I'm not sure exactly what happened myself. When I returned from the Gathering, I had no idea any of this had happened." She shot a look back towards camp and then spat sourly. "Though it may have helped if someone atleast told me when I got here," the black she-cat growled tempermentally.

She looked back to the two warriors and Brindlepaw. What could she do? "If Wispdream is taking as long as she is to restock, then there's not much we can do right now but get him back to camp. We'll look further into it in the medicine cat's den."

[4icestar]

Iceheart nodded her head at Toxicstar's decision. She then padded past Toxicstar and picked up Brindlepaw from the scruff. He was defiantly breathing, but also unconscious. Iceheart sighed through his scruff, her head was pretty foggy from the lack of sleep. She shook herself out of it once more and padded silently into camp toward the medicine cat den, with Brindlepaw; half carried and half dragged on the ground. Sooner or later he'll be a warrior, Iceheart thought.

She criss-crossed through the cats in the clearing, all of them had worried faces. However, some of the apprentices that hurt him with the thorns before, were snickering. Why was their goal to bother him to death, literally?

The camp was full of cats and everyone was tired. All of this rouge nonsense is going to drive the clans madshe thought. What are those rogues planning to do?

[midnightgem23]

Duskwind sat beside Brindlepaw, and used his nose to put his tail in his nest. His gaze reached Toxicstar's, then his ears went back, "I'm sorry. I was hunting by myself for the Clan, and had no clue that the Gathering was back," He put his paws under him, and scooted closer to Brindlepaw, to attempt to warm him. The apprentice started whimpering from the pain of his wounds, and Duskwind's eyes showed sympathy and worry for the apprentice, "When I was in the medicine den as a kit... I over heard Wispdream rehearshing the herbs. I think I may remember the scents..."
Goes over to the storage, and sniffs around, to find the right herb.

[sandriel]

Toxicstar sighed inwardly, and then looked at Duskwind as they approached the medicine cat's den. "If you were gone, then there was nothing you could do," she muttered, glancing around the dusky den.

She perked her ears, sniffing at the not-very-familiar scents in the stocks. "If you remember, then do you think poppy seeds would sooth his pain?" she asked, green eyes darting around in search of the tiny medical seeds. She knew that they could make cats fall asleep-- but she was only partial to the fact that they could send Brindlepaw into a deeper, more peaceful sleep.

[midnightgem23]

Duskwind looks back at his leader, smiling, "That's what I was going to get," Finding a small bundle, he gentle grabbed it with his teeth, and set it beside Toxicstar. Unfolding the wrap, five poppy seeds were revealed. He sat down, "I think you'd be better off with giving one to him. You're more gentle, like a mother cooing to a kit to stop wailing."

[sandriel]

((OOC: Bah, Shinko needs to get on..))

Toxicstar nodded in appreciation as the poppy seeds were placed in front of her. She padded over to a pool of water on the edge of the den and dipped her paw in it, before padding back over with her forepaw out. She dabbed gently at the tiny seeds, making them all stick to her paw.

Turning to Brindlepaw, she did what she could to get the poppy seeds into his mouth. Him being out cold didn't make the task any easier, though. Without turning around, she called, "Can one of you please go get some moss?" She figured that he might either wake up or feel a tad better if he could have some water. But she wasn't a medicine cat-- what did she know?

[4icestar]

((Yeah, she hasn't been posting for a while.))


Iceheart sat down and watch Toxicstar and Duskwind working together on the herbs. Since Iceheart had gotten a bad injury when she was a young apprentice, she knew some herbs. "Maybe 3 poppy seeds would be better. If we feed him to much, he won't wake up to eat or drink anytime soon. Oh yeah. Duskwind can you please get the moss, I want to watch over Brindlepaw. He needs someone to keep him warm."

Iceheart stepped closer to Brindlepaw,went on the otherside of the nest and layed down next to him, like a mother and kit. Iceheart purred and started to clean his fur; it was very ruffled and had many mats. This seemed to stop some of his whimpering. When he wakes up, he is going to feel horrible. Mentally and physically, she thought Jetpaw was not taking care of him as much as he should have. Iceheart continued to clean Brindlepaw's fur while glancing up at Toxicstar and Duskwind now and then.

[midnightgem23]

Duskwind grabbed moss near the small pool of water, and dipped it into the water, until it was wet. The black tom padded over silently to the apprentice and leader, and put down the bundle of moss on the ground, a few whiskers away from the bedding. He didn't certainly want to get the blacked out apprentice's bedding wet.
Seeing exhaustion in his Clanmates' faces, he flicked his tail, "Toxicstar, Iceheart. I think you two should get sleep. I'll be here until Jetpaw or Wispdream gets back," He curled himself around the injured Brindlepaw next to Iceheart.
"Either that, or we can all stay here and wait. But I don't want the leader of our Clan tired out either," He flicked his ears in Toxicstar's direction, pointing out; that she might just drop to the ground soon from tiredness. "Don't let the rouge clog your thoughts so much you can't concentrate." Standing up, he padded over to the she-cat and puts his tail on her shoulder.

[sandriel]

Toxicstar shook her head. If it wasn't for the Gathering, she wouldn't be at all tired. She looked at Duskwind after giving Brindlepaw the poppy seeds. "I'll stay here. I'm pretty sure that I'm the youngest of the leaders and the age of most of the normal warriors. I have plenty of energy." she stated, bringing her black-and-orange striped tail around her. And it was true-- at 22 moons, she was the current youngest leader. But that didn't mean she didn't know what she was doing-- most of the time, that is.

She glanced back towards Brindlepaw again before gently picking up the moss. Her head had cleared up on the short trip back to camp, and she was feeling much better-- mood and all. She squeezed the bundle of moss until water dripped out of it and into the apprentice's mouth.

((Whenever Shinko's not on, I feel like I'm power-playing her character DX ))

[4icestar]

((Me too DJ... DX))


Iceheart shook her head. "I would like to stay here with Brindlepaw." She looked at Brindlepaw with caring eyes. She got closer to him and cleaned him a bit more. His fur looked much better. Iceheart looked up atToxicstar, she looked like she was in a good mood now. Iceheart purred; everything at the moment seemed great. Brindlepaw stopped whimpering, Toxicstar is in a good mood and Iceheart felt great as well.

The only thing that bothered Iceheart was the fact that their medicine cat was gone. Iceheart's eyes got wide and she stopped purring. "What is the rouges attack Wispdream? They don't follow the warrior code!" Iceheart was worried, rouges show no mercy. And with that "Malice" around she didn't want to take any chances. "What are we going to do?"

[midnightgem23]

((I suck at spelling, so forgive me. >n> ))

Duskwind sat up, "Then I'll watch guard the Medicine den and alert you two when Wispdream or Jetpaw gets back." He looked at Iceheart resuringly, "Don't get yourself too worried," He put his tail on Iceheart's shoulders, then slunk outside the den to keep watch.
He was gone and few heartbeats, then he came back with two voles and a mouse, putting them on the ground.

"The mouse is for Brindlepaw. If he wakes up, try to get him to at least eat it," He slipped outside again, and sat with his paws tucked under him.

[4icestar]

((Use the spell check.))

Iceheart nodded in thanks as Duskwind placed the vole by her. She sat up quickly, and finished the vole in a few bites. She licked her lips, she didn't realize how hungry she had been. After she got food in her stomach, Iceheart felt much better. Only now was she aware that the sun was going to be up soon. She lost a full night of sleep!

Iceheart sighed and she lied down next to Brindlepaw again. What a night, she thought. Iceheart still thought her head was spinning, but putting food in her stomach, knowing that Brindlepaw was going to be ok and having Duskwind watch over her and Brindlepaw, and Toxicstar felt good. Iceheart closed her eyes, gave way to the darkness that she needed. Sleep.

However, her sleep wasn't pleasant. Iceheart found herself walking through the forest. She looked around, everything was quiet. Too quiet. All of a sudden a battle cry was thrown into the air and cats poured out of the bushes. However, they flew right past her. They couldn't see her. Iceheart was amazed, she started at these cats. They looked unfamiliar, but their scent was clear. Rouges.

Iceheart then looked at the other wave of cats. Clan cats! She saw a mix of clans, including LeafClan. She then awoke from her nightmare, and fell back into a more blissful sleep.
