ooc - She's still Swallowpaw, right...?
Swallowpaw opened her eyes and blinked slowly. "Ow, I hurt all over," she mumbled weakly. Reaching out with her paw, she whispered, barely audible, "Pinepaw, Pinepaw, are you there?"

"Don't move," Pinepaw gasped, and tried not to panic. Swallowpaw was still alive; there was still hope. Gently grabbing her scruff, he pulled her into ShoreClan territory. he could scent a patrol upwind, and he yowled in delight. "Seamist! pebblestone! Over here!"

Swallowpaw gasped in pain, making sharp little mewing sounds. She lay limp and closed her eyes. Then, she dreamed. The brown tabby she-cat was in StarClan's hunting grounds, she could see a lean tom coming towards her. ShoreClan! she sniffed the air. The tom introduced himself as Winterleaf, the former ShoreClan medicine cat. "Do not worry, young one," Winterleaf murmured, touching Swallowpaw's shoulder gently with his tail, "StarClan will come for you, but not now. You can go back to Pinepaw and your Clan." Then he padded away, fading into the mist. Swallowpaw blinked, she felt exhausted, but meeting Winterleaf had boosted her confidence that she would live.

Seamist dashed over to the two apprentices. 'Are you all right?" she mewed anxiously, and saw that Swallowpaw was injured. Gently propping the young apprentice onto her shoulder, she and Pinepaw led he way back to camp.

Swallowpaw groaned again, she limped badly and her flank had a deep gash on it. "I want to sleep," she mumbled, her eyes were half closed with exhaustion.

Seamist snorted. "You can sleep later," she mewed, and nudged her gently. "We need to find ripplestream," she murmured urgently, and trotted a bit faster.

Seamist looked around frantically. The scent of herbs mixed with ShoreClan - Ripplestream's scent - was thick in the air. where was she? "Ripplestream!" she yowled. 'Over here! Ripplestream!"

Ripplestream pricked her eyes and scented the air - Seamist, Pinepaw, and Swallowpaw. All masked with the scent of blood! SHe pelted over with horsetail and goldenrod in her jaws.

"Swallowpaw got hit by a twoleg monster," Pinepaw explained hurriedly. "Help her!" He knew he didn't need to tell the medicine cat that, since healing was her job...but if Swallowpaw died, he didin't know if he could bear it. "Hurry!" he pleaded.

StarClan, help me!" Ripplestream muttered. She turned to Pinepaw and Seamist, "Help me get her cleaned up!" the medicine cat was trying not to panic. Chewing up the goldenrod quickly, she made a poultice and applied it onto Swallowpaw's wounds.
Swallowpaw was lying on her side, barely breathing. She gasped in pain as Ripplestream applied the poultice. It stung.

Pinepaw quickly began to lick Swallowpaw's wounds, gently washing the grit and dirt away.

Ripplestream looked at Seamist and Pinepaw, "I'm going back to get cobwebs, please stay here and look after her," and without waiting for an answer, bounded away.

Seamist nodded impatiently and gently lowered Swallowpaw to the ground. "You'll be fine," she murmured to the apprentice, and faced her son with irritation sparking in her green eyes. "And as for you, try not to smother her."

Swallowpaw had stopped gasping for breath now, she lay still, barely breathing. Ripplestream came back soon, with Pebblestone by her side. The medicine cat gently patted the cobwebs in place and took the herbs from her brother. Chewing up a horsetail and marigold poultice, she applied that as well and turned to Seamist, "I don't think we should move her just yet," she meowed softly, but firmly, "The poultice needs time to heal her wounds." Pebblestone stood protectively over Swallowpaw. He had always felt a need to protect the young tabby she-cat, for her father was Nightfrost and pebblestone greatly resented him. Nightfrost had tried to 'steal' Seamist from him and he hardly cared for his own daughter.
