Buckthorn

__________________________

An extremely troublesome yellow ray of sunshine shone through a crack in the Warrior's Den, rudely awakening Buckthorn, a tall and long-legged tomcat with brown, white patched fur and stripes that are slightly darker than his normal brown. His usually clean fur was strangely unkempt as if he hadn't bothered to groom his fur. A ray of yellow light was visible underneath one of his slightly cracked open eyelids. Then, very slowly, the cat's eye opened all the way. He was awake.
"Great StarClan..." The tomcat groaned. He felt like his head had been struck with a heavy stone. Phish eyes were almost glued shut with sleep. What was wrong with him? He got to his paws but suddenly, a wave of dizziness overwhelmed him. Buckthorn suddenly careened to the side, his shoulder striking against the cave den and, suddenly lost, slid to the floor, panting for breath. What in StarClan's name was wrong with him?

Sapphirepaw looked behind her at Blazeclaw with saddened and fearful eyes "I feel weak.." She muttered "My stomach feels like ten claws are raking it" She whimpered frowning. The she-cat broke off coughing in a violent manner. She breathed heavily her face felt like it was burning.

Frozenpaw nodded then spotting a large bushy orange tail. His eyes widened "Over there!" He whispered to the cats seeing another. They hadn't noticed them yet luckily and they needed a plan attack. He thought it through and frowned "What do we do?" He asked Softly..

{@E.M.B.E.R. I responded last page.}

(Sorry, I read the rules a long time ago. I'm very forgetful. I edited the posts if that was ok... I'm really sorry..)

{And @.:Flame, it's okay, I'm forgetful too. (; Just try to remember in the future.}

My eyes widen and my head pops up as a red tail flashes in front of my face. Suddenly, the scent hits me. Actually, the scents. My whole body stiffens, "Everyone! Get back! Now!" I kept my voice quiet but firm. I took no pleasure in having anyone around me die, and I especially didn't want me or Featherpaw to die. She was kinda a inspiration in my life, I guess, and she kept me on the authority's good sides.

Rockpaw
I jump up and my eyes widen with fear as I hear Falconpaw burst into a fit of coughing. I quickly draw near him, and he doesn't seem steady on his paws either. "Are you okay?" I twitch my ears as Hollypaw bursts into the training hollow. She echoes my question, but after a moment, I just shake my head. It was good that she was here, but this could be the disease the deputy died of. Or maybe it was greencough. "Hollypaw.... What's happening?" I say, slightly panicked.

I depart from where I was standing for patrols. I let out a sigh. Perhaps I could let myself rest for a day. Walking forward, I emerge into the warriors den. As I get there, the smell of confused fear hit me and I look downward. There Buckthorn lay splayed out on the floor, panting, with a sickly smell coming off of him. Forget the rest. I quickly drew my muzzle close to him, trying not to touch him, in case he had a contagious bug, though i doubted that. "Are you okay?" I meowed for good measure. He needs a medicine cat I thought, panicked.

Buckthorn

At the sound of an approaching cat, Buckthorn managed to peel his head away from the ground. Some white speckles of saliva dotted the sides of his muzzle, showing that he had been panting. His yellow eyes looked much duller than usual, but he managed to speak in a rough, strange sounding voice.
"I don't know," The white and brown tomcat muttered, sounding very confused and...scared. "What's wrong with me? Did something happen?" His paws stirred about in the dust as he lay on his side like he thought he walking but, obviously, he was not. His ears twitched uncomfortably as if the noises of the camp irritated him greatly.
"Shadeheart? What's going on?" The tomcat mouthed. He managed, barely, to pull himself slightly away from her and prop himself against the side of the den. The coolness of the surface felt nice, temporarily, and he sighed in relief. His chest-fur stuck up in all directions as if he had not bothered to groom it.

OOC: Whoop. Sorry. I didn't see that for some reason.

{It's fine}

Shadeheart
All I could think about was the tomcats condition, and how very bad it was. He didn't seem to know where he was, and he was obviously not in grip with the world. He radiated heat, and he seemed to have been panting before. There might not be much time for him. I winced, scolding myself for thinking in such a way. He needed a medicine cat though, and fast. They could help him. I looked quickly from the cat by me, to the entrance of the den, and back. I couldn't leave him for long-it wouldn't be smart-but I needed to get him help. I knew nothing of medicine, and I didn't plan to change that.

I race out of the den, glancing around. I stopped looking for someone and just yowled, "somebody, find a medicine cat!" I quickly dashed back to the den. Skidding in front of him, I murmured a response to his earlier question, "I don't know what's going on, I really don't." and then to soft for him to hear, "I hope it's not as bad as I think it is, and I definitely hope it doesn't spread."

Frozenpaw shook his head "Fuzzyclaw we can fight!" He whispered "There are two and you can't take tyem on alone" He protested stepping forward his claws unsheathing. He looked at the foxes "If we figure out a plan we can take them down" The tom said.

Featherpaw

I froze as I heard Fuzzyclaw. A million thoughts raced through my head, and after a few heartbeats, I finally found my feet. "C'mon!" I yowled and pelted off, stopping a moment to make sure Fuzzyclaw, Kestreldive, and Frozenpaw were following.

Doing: training
Available? no

Falconpaw

There were lights flashing all around me, it seemed. I heard Rockpaw ask Hollypaw something. My mind tried to register it, but then, I swayed on my paws slightly and blacked out.


(I really didn't know what to do...so..... xD )))

[G a l a x i e s~]

frozenpaw nodded feeling a clench in his stomach. He pushed away his fear and watched the foxes. A growl rolled up his throat and without any say he silently crept forward then diving under the foxes stomach his claws raking its underbelly. The other fox snarled and his eyes widened a little as its jaw lashed towards his neck. He quickly dove out of thea way and launching himself at the fox.

Fuzzyclaw
I watched the apprentice with cold interest. "Frozenpaw, come back! That's a order. We will come back later with backup." I stared at the two foxes, and my eyes widened with fear. We will definitely be back later. One of those foxes smells of milk. We're dealing with more than two foxes here.

Rockpaw
I turned my head to the vague area Falconpaw was in. I was so close to a real friend. Please, please Starclan, help him. He lay motionless on the floor of the training arena. I whimpered to Hollypaw, "can you do anything? Please? You are the medicine cat apprentice..." I turned my head to her general direction, stretching my eyes wide in the turmoil of emotions. I wish I could see, maybe I could help more...

[G a l a x i e s~]

Frozenpaw glared at the foxes quickly getting out "Ok.." He muttered going back to camp his pace fast. Sapphirepaw toppled over her breath heavy No no! I don't want to be like this! I don't want to die!She screamed in her head. Frozenpaw entered the camp seeing his sister. He stood frozen for a second then running over to her "Sapphirepaw!" He yowled.
