Pebblekit seemed to be calming down, but it was quite clear she wasn't well yet...or was she going to be any time soon. She groaned as the licks continued, though they were slightly soothing. "Where's Spiritbreaker?" She managed to cough, tail barely swishing energetically across the ground, as it usually did.

Jaypaw returned, more tired now. His eyes were fading rapidly, growing darker and darker. He spotted the coughing, shivering Pebblekit and the darkening of his irises ceased suddenly. He hurried forwards, not outof special concern, but a sort of clanly fellowship. And Pebblekit was looking pretty bad. "Are you alright?" he mewed anxiously.

Ivypaw rushed towards Crimsonaura and Pebblekit. Was the little kit alright? She looked down at the she-cat licking the tiny coughing kit. "How is she doing?" she asked Crimsonaura. By the worried look on Crimosnaura's face Ivypaw knew that the kit wasn't doing very well. ooc: short post

.:Oakpaw:. The she-cat nodded and mewed "Who know's?"She glanced inside the den and mewed loudly "Spiritbreaker you in there!?" Her tail twiched with anticipation but she did notice that Ivepaw came around.Ignoring her she kept waiting for the medicine cat to come out any time now or maybe something happened to Spiritbreaker then what would happen to Pebblekit?

Pebblekit suddenly felt very crowded, and she cowered into a little ball beneath Crimsonaura's warm body. She didn't want to open her eyes, why were no cats around? She felt sick and horrible, where was Spiritbreaker? She repeated her sentence, but it came out in coughs once more. "Where's Spiritbreaker?"

Jaypaw, eager to prove himself useful, scampered to the edge of the leaders den. He peered inside. The stench of death hung heavy in it and he almost retched. "Spiritbreaker?" he called quaveringly, "Spiritbreaker, Pebblekit needs you." And if you don't come soon, he added to himself, there will be more death.

.::Crimsonaura::. Crimsonaura made a small crooning noise, licking Pebblekit's head again with rapid strokes of her tongue. "Shh, little one. I'm sure Spiritbreaker will come soon." She said this to not only comfort and convince Pebblekit, but for herself, too. She tried to pretend that she couldn't hear the little kit's coughing spasms, tried to pretend it was a figment of her imagination, but found that it was much too hard to do so, so busied herself by licking every possible place she could reach. She stopped her strokes to gaze up at Jawpaw and Ivypaw, and when Pebblekit curled into a ball underneath her, she glowered at them, scowling. "Can't you see that she is in no condition for any visitors currently? Go help Cheetahpaw find Spiritbreaker. Go on!" she ordered, fixing her gaze on Ivypaw with slight irritation. She didn't want the apprentices to bother the kit right now, not when she needed her help.

Ivypaw glowered at the older warrior. "Okay, Cromsinaura I'll go look" She scowled and left the warrior to care for Pebblekit. Ivypaw wondered to Spiritbreakers den where she saw Oakpaw looking in. "Is she here?" The other apprentice shook her head. Ivypaw turned around and headed toward the camp entrance. *Maybe she went for a walk or something.* The she-cat padded out of the clearing and tasted the air for Spiritbreakers scent...Nothing.

Pebblekit, by mistake, said the worst thing she could ever say. She whimpered in pain and looked up at Crimsonaura, her deep blue eyes filled with pain and fear. "Crimsonaura, am...cough...I going to...cough cough...die?"

.::Crimsonaura::. Crimsonaura froze, staring down at the kit sympathetically. What a question... But yet, could she answer truthfully without frightening the kit? She soon decided that she wouldn't lie, and said, with a great deal of difficulty, "I'm... I'm not sure, Pebblekit. If Spiritbreaker keeps on neglecting the duties a medicine cat is supposed to do..." She hesitated, looking into the kit's deep blue eyes. "You could. But what can you expect from wandering out of Boulderclan? Surely you should've known no good would come of it?" the crimson-pelted warrior scolded gently, curling her tail around the shivering, coughing form of Pebblekit. "Just hold on, got it?"
.::Cheetahpaw::. Cheetahpaw snorted fractiously, wrinkling his nose and twitching his whiskers, not liking to be ignored by the two other apprentices, Oakpaw and Ivypaw. "Hello, what am I? A pile of crow-food?" A little crestfallen than he couldn't find Spiritbreaker, he left his mentor to do the searching and pointedly headed towards the nursery. Warily, however. He knew how much Crimsonaura was fond of the kit, and would probably be as protective as if the kit was her own. Tentatively poking his head in, he meowed softly. "Is she okay?" He redrew his head hastily as the older warrior directed a paw swipe at his retreating nose, and he took that as a 'Stay out' gesture. Scowling, for he only wanted to know if Pebblekit was in good health, he stalked off, positioning himself beside the apprentices' den with a look of slight forebidding. The kit wouldn't die, right? And if she did, what would Mintstar do about it?

Pebblekit buried her head in her small, shivering paws and began to cry softly, shaking her head. "I'm sorry! Oakpaw yelled at me and then I thought no one liked me, just like my mom didn't like me...so I left, I'm sorry and now I'm going to die!" Obviously Pebblekit felt a lot of guilt, and she'd been keeping this 'mom' thing inside for a very long time.

Ivypaw stomped back into the camp.She looked around and spotted Cheetahpaw's spotted pelt. "Cheetahpaw want to come search for Spiritbreaker with me? She might be out but I can't find her all on my own." Ivypaw sat down and waited for the toms answer.She gazed at the sky was it her or was it getting darker by the minute?

Daypaw needed a new mentor, like now. She was anxious, she was eager and excited... SHE WANTED A MENTOR NOW! But she had to have a good mentor, so she'd pretend to be patient for the sake of it. She found Mintleaf and looked at the leader/deputy. "Mintleaf, I need a new mentor and-OH MY STARCLAN!" She screamed at the two dead bodies before her, jumping back in shock. Hawkstar and Spiritbreaker were dead...they were dead...no, no, no! How could this be?!

.::Crimsonaura::. The she-cat sighed sadly, pressing her nose into the little kit's soft fur. "Don't cry, young one. Shush, that is not true. I'm here for you; and if I didn't care or like you, why would I be trying my hardest to help you survive, hm?" she purred, making it sound reassuring. "And every cat likes you, there is no need to worry. You can just be..." She searched for the right word, "annoying at times. Oakpaw just got irritated, and when some cats get irritated, they have a tendency to shout at other cats. In this case, you." Crimsonaura prodded the kit with her paw gently, resting her head beside Pebblekit. "Just be brave."
.::Cheetahpaw::. Washing himself thoroughly, he glanced up to meet Ivypaw's gaze, taking in her appearance shrewdly. He didn't reply right away, but busied himself by washing his ears and face slowly, as if contemplating. When it looked like he wouldn't answer, the black-splotched apprentice finally spoke up. "I don't think there's any point." He said no more, but only gazed out of camp. The medicine cat was probably dead for all he knew. And strangely, he found that it didn't bug him much.

Pebblekit lay her head down again, smiling for the first time all day...odd enough for her. "Is being brave what it takes to be a warrior?" She wanted to be brave, she wanted to be a warrior...did she have to have courage? If that's what it took to survive, she'd be the bravest she could be.
