Cedarfrost [awkward] [tagged; Clan]
Cedarfrost gulped awkwardly seeing Reedpaw already tending to Snowstar's ripped patch of fur. "Sorry." He uttered quietly, trying to avoid eye contact with the awkward tension he felt already forming. He looked down, his heart beated rapidly, his lungs struggling to keep up with the pace at which he was panting, nervous the blow was too fatal to have been healed. Certainly Starclan wouldn't let such a dazzling leader go on her first life? Cedarfrost's eyes glazed with worry, he stood by the she cats side, watching her bloodied pelt raise up and down. The tom felt relief flood him as Snowstar gasped for breath, her eyes dancing around the crowd. Starclan had saved her. She arose but tumbled down once more. Cedarfrost scooted closer, hoping the nearly dead Molly would take his gesture and lean against him as the clan headed homewards. Reedpaw spoke up and Cedarfrost prodded away slowly his eyes locked on the forest floor. Surely the fine Molly didn't need such unofficial help as his. His head hung low, trying to stay unnoticed by the crowd of fretful clan mates. He was sure to go on a solo hunting mission once they arrived at base once more, after speaking up so loudly and trying to help when he had yet to see the situation was utterly embarrassing, something he wanted to escape soon. Though he longed to stay by the she cats side, he dared not to.

She couldn't escape her clan mates grips. She was forced to sit down again, and Reedpaw pressed more cobwebs onto her wounds. She panted slightly, as her breath was returning to its respected pace. She did notice Cedarfrosts gesture to lean of him, and she did, forcing him not to move anymore. She watched over his shoulder the battle rage on, and soon the foxes were being chased away without her. She felt guilt rush inside her. She had been so weak that she couldn't help defeat the foxes. She had to loose a life, right infront of her clan mates. When she had regained most of her strength, she struggled to her paws, feeling more regenerated, and she lopped as fast as she could towards the battle, helping Emberpelt drive away the younger fox. When it had run, she saw the larger one. It was bleeding badly near the chest, but it was clear it was dead "Who killed it?" She called, looking around suddenly.

Fawndapple gazed around the now deserted clearing, the only thing that remained from the battle with the foxes were one dead body and the blood stains left on the forest floor. The foxes were no where in sight and she realized she had caught her breath. Hauling herself to her paws, despite the her aching muscles, she limped slightly over to her clanmates. She was glad that Snowstar was regaining consciousness and strength after losing her first life. Fawndapple was glad that she hadn't witnessed too much of Snowstar losing a life, she was afraid it would be too much for her. Watching that fox-hearted fox kill her was enough without watching Snowstars body twitching as she came back to her clan. The molly sat on her haunches and inspected her injuries, her paw had definitely gotten the worst of the fight but she would live. Turning to the rest of the patrol her gaze rested on Reedpaw and she mewed,"Do you need anymore cobwebs or herbs for back in camp? I could go look for some more if you'd like."

The tom spat out another wad of crimson blood that dribbled from his mouth. His clawed ears flicked around as he watched his remaining clan-mates drive the smaller fox away. He eyed the dead fox as his snow-white leader spoke. "CedarFrost did." He managed to choke out. He hadn't noticed how hard it was for him to breath now. Tenderly, he licked a spot on his chest and nudged it with his nose. Sharp pain shot up his spine which made him wince and hiss in pain. "Broken rib." he coughed slightly. The tom had many wounds on his body. From a broken rib, a deep gash in his shoulder, to his sprained paw. "SnowStar? Are you fit to travel yet? We should get back to back to treat our wounds before something else comes. I'll send a patrol out to see if we unknowningly had a fox den on our territory and to make sure the foxes have gone." His voice finally returning to a lightly normal sound, he attempted to stand, though stumbled as he put pressure on his back paw. "mouse-dung." he muttered.

the tom sighed as snowstar got up to drive away the other fox. he couldn't help but shake his head, then he realized that fawndapple was offering him help. he looked tiredly at her and shook his head "No, I will get the catmint I was gathering earlier though. " he stood up and shook his fur. He had woken up not to long ago, but it felt like it had been days since he had touched his nest. Plus the fact he had gotten kicked around trying to help snowstar. Then he didn't even get thanked. He trudged back across the clearing, looking at the large fox. He looked away sadly and grabbed his catmint. He trudged over to the fox and scrunched his nose at its horrid stench. The scent of death was slowly starting to consume its body. He didn't like death. It was haunting, dark, and oblivion. At least they had starclan. This fox had nothing to look to but darkness. He put his nose to its fur for a heart beat and turned back to his clanmates. He didn't mind if they wished to judge him, most did anyways.

He dragged his leg so he could look at the wounds of some of the cats. Red oak claimed for a broken rib, when in reality it was only a small crack with a painful bruise. It would be swollen, making it hard to breathe. Fawndapple had something wrong with her paw, which he didn't get to clarify yet, and he needed to give snowstar poppy seeds when they got to camp. Cedarfrost hadn't come up to him yet so he didn't know yet. The tom felt too tired, but promised to himself to get all of them fixed up where is darkleaf?! his mind screeched.

The female looked towards Cedarfrost, as if needing his agreement before she believed anything. When her deputy, medicine cat apprentice and warriors suggested that they should go back to camp. She nodded agreement, and when Redoak asked if she was fit enough to travel, she nodded "I'm fine, Redoak. Thank you all for helping" she meowed, and summoned all her cats to follow her. When they entered camp, she achingly walked up the small slope towards her den, and called a meeting. When all the cats gathered, she took a deep breath "Cats of Mapleclan, upon hunting patrol Fawndapple and Redoak ran into not one, but two foxes. We fought a furious battle, and ended up winning. Redoak is going to sort a patrol to look if there is a local fox den in the territory. One of the foxes are dead, thanks to Cedarfrost. Thanks to Reedpaw, Fawndapple and others, we managed to support the worst of wounds. For now, stay diligent. Clan dismissed" she meowed, and padded towards the medicine den. She wouldn't tell her clan about loosing a life; she didn't want to start them.

Cedarfrost [weak] [tagged; entire clan]
Cedarfrost took in a deep breath as Snowstar's weight leaned against him. Having obviously overestimated his remaining strength left within his aching limbs. He felt his almost limp body began to lean but he viciously shot out his arm to catch himself. Cedarfrost walked slowly, luckily having escaped the horrendous scene without a limp. Vivid cerise liquid dribbled from the deep wound on his back, it had gone limp within seconds, so pain wasn't what had been bothering him. He couldn't help but perk his ears at the mention of his name. The bleeding tom thought with disbelief at himself. Surely the act was merely just a fortunate coincident. "Thank Starclan." Having exclaimed the sentence audible enough for all ears to hear, he shocked himself, but ignored it. He gasped for breath, the weight certainly weakening his muscles, but grunted and continued. With the camp in sight, his whiskers twitched with a feeling of exhilaration. His eyes were trained on Snowstar, informing the others of the quite unseen event. His sight blurred slightly, but his name being told across the clan members made him swell with pride. He wobbled slightly, his vision twisting. Cedarfrost hit the muddy clearing in a starling motion. His eyes danced around rapidly, they fell upon the canopy above, then to the clan cats, Snowstar, blood gushing from him in a spot unknown to him, though he assumed it was the gash in his back. Black. He'd fainted.

Goosepaw [prideful / worried] [tagged; Duckclaw]
The shecats whiskers trembled with pride. The purr within was a deep rumble. Duckclaw leaped along the clearing, making it quite tough for Goosepaw to keep up with the pace, but she certainly managed. Her tail high, and her eyes bright. Pleasing the grumpy calico was always a difficult task, Goosepaw herself certainly never saw her impressed, at least, not that the young cat could remember. She simply laid it off. Personally, the apprentice had made it a small goal of hers to see her truly happy with an achievement of hers. The young dark molly stopped by Duckclaw's side, waiting to get going as well. Goosepaw seized the eager urge to go ahead and run off, instead waiting patiently by her side. Her attention was parted from the situation and her frightened eyes followed the bloodied cats arriving at the entrance. Some of them were hardly recognizable, so stained with blood and plastered with mud. Her paws twitched though she stayed put by her mentors side whist inhaling every word with thourogh attention. She stuttered with fright as Cedarfrost toppled violently to the ground. "I-is he ok!?" She shouted, not caring who heard.

Suddenly Cedarfrost fainted, and her eyes widened. She leapted down, and walked quickly over to him. Blood was pooling around him from the wound on his back "Darkleaf!" She called in shrill panic. She gently moved then Tom into the medicine den, and sat down beside him. The medicine cats had yo do something. If Cedarfrost died, she would never forgive herself. She was quivering violently, and knew her clan would be in panic, but she was to shocked to move. Her warrior had fainted right in the middle of camp. This wasn't good. She pushed her nose into his fur, and made sure he was still breathing before she gave the medicine cats space to breath.
