Returning from War

[Goldenblaze]

{From Boneclan: Return of Evil}

Rustpaw struggled to jump the waterfall, the heavy water almost dousing his near thin frame under. He padded in quietly, limping from a large gash in his foreleg. It was obvious it was bent at an odd angle, but he managed to hide the pain from his eyes as he marched proudly into the Main Camp. He almost knew he would get into trouble for fighting. He hadn't even reached Apprentice-ship yet!! But he hoped his punishment wasn't too brutal.

He raised his head higher in search of Whisperstar, sensing the other cats weren't too far behind.

[Trillium]

Trillium followed the young Rustpaw, carrying Umberkit. She walked carefully over the waterside rocks, as to avoid slipping while transporting the injured kitten. She arrived in mid-camp, set down the kit, and began to pant slightly from the effort: her mentality was being strained with all that had happened in one day.

But then she stopped herself from going into a storm of pity for herself. Not only was it unnecessary, it was also conceited: What Honeymist would have to endure would be far more painful than what she, Trillium, was experiencing now.

In a slight panic, she began to call the Mistclan medicine cat's name for Umberkit's sake, "Silverthroat...Silverthroat...!"

‘Am I…home?’

Umberkit was aware of herself being dampened by the waterfall, but that was it. She didn’t feel the cold, the wet…her poor wounded little body had suddenly become numb to everything. She no longer felt any pain, even though every time she went to breathe, she went into weak little coughing fits. Was this the end? If StarClan called her, she would obey. But…not yet. There were cats who needed her help first.

Brilliant yellow hues opened, strangely unfocused and glazed as they took in the sight of MistCamp, and Umberkit let out a soft sigh of relief. Home. Her home.

“Rust…”

Umberkit choked and turned her head, waiting for the coughing to subside, before turning her unfocused gaze on her loyal friend.

“Rustpaw. Your…leg.”

Due to the traveling and the dousing of the water from the waterfall, many of the cobwebs she had put on his leg had been removed, and it was bleeding slightly again.

“Bring…cobwebs over he…re. Let me….”

She said no more, as the small burst of energy failed her.

[Goldenblaze]

He leaned and his gaze averted from looking for Whisperstar to looking for Silverthroat. He gently mewed after Trilluim, tail flicking. He looked over at her and shook his head, gold and blue eyes blinking softly. You need recovery more than I do. I'll get it treated when everyone else has been seen by Silverthroat. He looked calmly up at Trillium and turned her head, tail twitching softly.
