{Stray feelings}

Cold dry dirt pressed agents Ravenpaw's soaked pelt. Strong smells of herbs filled the den, and the smell of dry blood was hidden but still smellable. Ravenpaw raised her head and looked around the den, it was almost pitch-black except for the light coming from the entrance of the borrow further away and smaller light all around. The smell of Borrow clan choked Ravenpaw, and her confusion grew. Ravenpaw felt as if she couldn't breath, feeling claustrophobic she tried to make out shapes in the darkness.

Ravenpaw flinched as a voice spoke from near a nearby light source, her voice was raged but sweet and Ravenpaw could make out her calico fur, "Do you want some light? I would understand if a cat from the Field clan would want some,"

"U-um yes pleas," Ravenpaw mewed 

Light started to slowly but brightly shimmer through a hole that the cat was clearing of twigs. Ravenpaw blinked, trying to get her eyes to adjust to the light. Looking around Ravenpaw realized that she was in the Borrow clan camp! It was much bigger than she thought and she never knew that there were holes so light could get through. Ravenpaw stared at the herbs neatly packed in holes in the den's walls.

"Don't be scared, you fell unconscious after the battle, you lost a lot of blood," Hightail said as she put the sticks down

"Don't be scared, you fell unconscious after the battle, you lost a lot of blood," Hightail said as she put the sticks down.

"I-I didn't die," Ravenpaw breathed, "How did you heal me? If I lost so much blood. How did I get here?"

"I used chervil root, some goosegrass, and cobwebs on your wounds," Hightail said as she looked in a hole with a couple of different types of berries inside, "Where are the juniper berries? I could just use lavender but I thought I had more juniper berries," She mumbled still searching, "Ok there you are!" Hightail walked over to Ravenpaw with a round berry that was what she thought was purple, "Chew this, but not too fast. This will calm you down but It can also help with a bellyache,"

"How did I get in your den?" Ravenpaw asked before she started to chew on the berries.

"You were dragged, how else would you get hear?" Hightail meowed as she started putting a couple of herbs onto a leaf.

Ravenpaw could feel herself getting calmer as she chewed the berry her tense muscles relaxing. Laughter filled the dens, two kits were running around playing. One of the kits ran into the medicine cat's den, but once he saw Ravenpaw he stopped laughing and just stared in confusion at her, and soon the other kit joined him.

"Who are YOU?" The first kit asked. his fur was a shivery color, and his eyes were a dark brown.

"I'm Ravenpaw, who are you two?" Ravenpaw said chewing.

"I am Swankit," The first kit mewed.

"Hello, Im Callkit," The second kit meowed. His gray tabby fur complemented his brown eyes.

"Nice to me you two," Ravenpaw purred.

Hollytail started to push them out of the den as she carried the bundle she was preparing. The den was quiet again except for the sound of cats whispering in the other dens. Forcing herself up she looked out of the den and was shocked to see it was just one huge den! moss covered the ground making separate beds. The camp was surprisingly cramped but also spaced apart comfortably.
