Shadow cackled. Now that their beloved deputy was probably dead, her work here was done. Gesturing to Lightning, she dissapeared into the dense undergrowth.
Hazelpaw's eyes widened. Gently licking her mother's face, she mewed desperately, "Seamist, don't die. DON'T die, please!" Turning her tear-streaked face to Shadowfire, she mewed, "Is she dead?" Shadowfire trotted over to his niece and licked her ear awkwardly. Bending down, he was relieved to feel a pulse - and was surprised at his relief. Since when had he ever cared about this stupid ShoreClan cat?

Pebblestone appeared with Ripplestream and quickly went over to his mate. Glaring at the StormClan warrior and Seamist, he shouldered Shadowfire and Cloudmist aside and let Ripplestream help her. His eyes were full of tears and he pressed against Hazelpaw's side, licking her ear gently. Ripplestream applied all the necessary herbs onto Seamist's wounds and turned to her brother, "We'll need to carry her back," she murmured quietly. Pebblestone glanced at Hazelpaw and tried not to cry, "Will you help me?" he asked softly. He looked at the StormClan cats and motioned for them to go, "We thank you for your help, but you should go now," he meowed.

Shadowfire bristled slightly. "I'm sorry, but this is our territory, and Seamist was..." he stopped. "I mean, is my sister. Cloudmist and I will show you to the border, but next time, don't expect us to be so welcoming."
Hazelpaw looked at her uncle curiously. It might have been because of the tears that were obstructing her vision, but she could have sworn that his face held remorse. Turning away, she propped Seamist up onto her shoulders and helped her father carry her back home.

Pebblestone nodded politely, "Thank you, Shadowfire and Cloudmist," his eyes were full of tears. The ShoreClan warrior laid his tail comfortingly on his daughter's shoulder. He could see that she was crying too. Ripplestream licked her brother's ear gently, "I'll do the best I can," she promised. The brother and sister had never been close, but this was different.

Shadowfire stayed beside the ShoreClan patrol, occasionally checking Seamist's pulse. He had always had in intrest in medicine, and now was a good time as ever to practise. "How will you treat her?" he murmured to Ripplestream.

Ripplestream flinched away from Shadowfire. Why did he care? she wondered. She murmured back, "Marigold and horsetail poultices for the scratches and gashes; they will help protect her against infection from setting in. Cobwebs for the bleeding, coltsfoot to help her breath. Maybe borage for fever, but I doubt it," she glanced at him, then continued, "Thyme leaves for the shock and they will help to calm her down, and poppy seeds for the pain and to help her sleep, she might not need them though." Looking into Shadowfire's eyes, she mewed, "Why do you want to know?" she asked

He shrugged. "Just curious," he muttered, and trotted back a few paces. There's no need to be suspicious, you know, he thought to himself. Sometimes medicine cats thought that they ruled the forest!

"I could teach you a bit more if you want," Ripplestream offered, although she knew well that Shadowfire would rather go to Earthdong than her.

Shadowfire's ears twitched. "Really?" he mewed, a bit suspicious. Ripplestream was probably making fun of him in her own way, and he had no wish to be ridiculed by some know-it-all she-cat.

"Yes, I would," Ripplestream meowed, "I don't talk for the pleasure of hearing my own voice," her tail tip twitched. "Well, would you like to learn some or not?" she asked.

Shadowfire's ears twitched excitedly. 'Sure!" he mewed.

"Well," Ripplestream pointed to a clump of tansy with her tail, "Over there is tansy, it's good for coughs, but too much will give you belly ache." She looked over at the herb, they had lots of it at camp and didn't need anymore, so she mewed, "Meet me by the Western Riverbank tomorrow, I must go now."

Shadowfire nodded. The Western Riverbank... wasn't that where Seamist had nearly died? Supressing a shiver, he nodded and began to pad happily back to camp.
