Damaged

Chapter Six

Darkness. That's all that she could see. Darkness as black as the midnight sky. Darkness enveloping her. It was eerie but oddly comforting.

Then she heard voices. Cats talking. She was aware of someone cuddled up against her.

She opened her eyes for a second before shutting them again when the light became too much.

"What- did she just open her eyes?" One of the voices asked.

She felt someone nudge her.

"Wolfypaw it's me, Swiftypaw. Please open your eyes." She felt someone nudge her gently.

She opened her eyes and saw Swiftypaw leaning over her.

"S-Swiftypaw?" She coughed.

"Yes it's me. Are you okay?" He asked, concern lathering his voice.

"F-Fine. What happened? All I remember was Strangehunt hitting me before I blacked out." Wolfypaw mewed, her voice trembling.

"Don't worry, he's gone now." He comforted, pulling her in for a hug.

"Wait, you've recovered?" She asked.

He snorted. "I recovered a while ago."

"How long have I been out?" She asked, frowning.

"Um one moon." He mewed, hesitantly.

"What?! One moon?! Are you serious?!" She grumbled.

"Deadly serious." He mewed, cheerfully.

"What's been happening? How's my sister? How's the clan? How is everyone?!"

"Soo many questions." He grumbled.

"Sooner you start answering the sooner I'll stop." She glared, defiantly at him.

"Fine. Basically what happened was iroundedupapatrolsowecouldfindyouandyouwereunconciousso-"

"Can you please speak a bit slower." She mewed.

"Fine." He rolled his eyes, playfully. He told her everything that had happened.

"So where's Berryheart and Snowydeath?" She asked, when he finished.

"Some cat got whitecough so she had to go back. Snowydeath was summoned for a patrol and Deadlythroats hunting."

"Okay, um why are we here? Were not in camp thats for sure." She asked.

"Well you fell unconcious not too far from here, so Berryheart thought that it was best that we didn't move you until you woke up." Swiftypaw explained.

"Oh... Well I'm awake now, can we please go back?" She pleaded, looking at him with big kit eyes.

"We'll go after Deadlythroat comes back, okay?" He bargained.

"Okay." She agreed.

"Swiftypaw! I'm back!" A grumble interrupted them.

"'Kay! Wolfypaws' awake." Swiftypaw called.

"Really?" Deadlythroat rushed in, dropping two mice. He looked at her, shocked before recomposing himself. "Ahem hello glad to see your awake." He meowed.

"Hello." She greeted him. "Can we go back to camp?"

"S-Sure but eat something first." He growled.

She obliged and bent and bit into the warm, juicy flesh. She felt her stomach become full once again.

"Ready? Lets go." Deadlythroat lead the way out of the den. Wolfypaw felt a little unsteady on her feet but with the help of Swiftypaw, she made it back to camp.
