Honeyflick was sat in the medicine den as Winterpebble and Slushheart treated the other cats injuries. She couldn't help but glance around the crowded den, trying to see Windchaser through the many coloured pelts. However, this was unsuccessful as her view was obscured by Lightrunner, who tried to convince the medicine cats that she was so hurt and needed urgent treatment. Honeyflick sighed, resting her head on her paws.
Lightrunner tripped onto Honeyflick, and in return the golden she-cat leapt up, hitting the den wall and falling backwards through the gap. The other she-cat snorted, adjusting her stance as Honeyflick blindly stood up.
"Pssh- Good ol' Honeyflick, startled by such a small thing!"
"Good ol' Lightrunner, cursing to Starclan by such a small speck of mud."
Lightrunner blinked, before baring her teeth.
"Do you want to fight me, Honeyflick?! It is absolutely necessary to keep my pelt clean and tidy."
"Fighting me would only make it messy, with blood."
"That's the only time I want to ruffle it. So that the clan knows I am an excellent fighter!"
"I highly doubt that, young warrior!"
The other cats in the den backed away, and even Winterpebble didn't intervene with this. This was the only time Honeyflick could see Windchaser, asleep in a nest, before she snapped her gaze back to Lightrunner, who was preparing to lunge. Honeyflick unsheathed her claws as the younger she pounced and crashed into her, digging claws in. Honeyflick tossed her off, holding her down.
"Lightrunner. You better stop this, or I might as well report you to Ivyeyes. You know the tales of what she does to codebreakers, correct? You wouldn't want that happening to you."
Lightrunner gulped nervously, before scrambling up. She had a bit of blood on her claws, and she sheathed them quickly.
"R-Right- I'll stop. G- Good talk."
She sprinted out of the den. Honeyflick breathed quietly. Immediately, Slushheart approached.
"Honeyflick, good job dealing with that, I suppose. I'll put a poultice on that wound..."
Honeyflick allowed the medicine cat to clean up her wound and put herbs on it, and her mind went blank. Those rumours about what Ivyeyes does to codebreakers... Rumours. I'm glad none of the clan know what she really does to those who are exiled, or break the code. I'm the only one who does know, since... I've been her friend so long.
Honeyflick sat down in the nest, and as her wounds stung, she had a poppy seed. She slowly drifted into sleep.
