"Flashbreeze, cobwebs, now!"

"Oh my god, what happened to her?"

"She's too innocent to die!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Sweetheart!"

I can barely hear. My heart is pounding too hard.

Sweetheart needs help.

 Who would do this to her?

"She tried to take on the LuktraClan leader." Wolfshine meows again, but I can barely hear her.

Treepelt snaps orders at nearby cats as Flashbreeze comes back with cobwebs to stop the bleeding. Everyone else is bleeding, but not as badly. Shadowmist and Hazelspark look horrified. They're her closest friends in the Clan.

Treepelt starts to apply cobwebs to Sweetheart's bleeding wounds and Flashbreeze tries to slow the bleeding on other wounds. Sweetheart is out of it. Unconscious.

She's supposed to have her warrior's assessment in two days! She's supposed to become a warrior, then get announced at the Gathering!

No.

I'm acting as if she's already dead. I need to do something. But I can't do anything.

Not in the medical area.

I whirl around to face Wolfshine. Her eyes are already on me.

"What happened?" I ask, my voice more terrified than I want it to be.

Wolfshine sighs. "It happened like this..."

------

It was chaos. I have to admit, I was scared...

Dammit, three quarters or LuktraClan was there! PexelClan could hardly stand a chance, their Clan is so small.

Anyway, we charged into battle. The PexelClan Warriors looked terrified in those first few minutes; they thought we were reinforcements for the LuktraClan.

Then we started helping them, and something just sparked in them. We fought side by side, the PexelClan leader and I. We fought.

The LuktraClan were slowly backing off. Then their leader hissed and got to a high ground.

"This is it, huh, JetraClan?!" She yowled, "this puny Clan doesn't need this much land! We need it more!"

Foxdapple yowled back, "when Reuben comes back to life, LuktraClan freak!"

I gotta admit, even the PexelClan laughed at that one.

"I don't see Redstar anywhere. Too scared to fight us, huh? Too weak? Relying on her deputy to do the dirty work?" The LuktraClan leader sneered.

Everyone knew she was just baiting us. Distracting us, while her LuktraClan Warriors struggled to fight back.

Well, almost everyone.

Sweetheart charged at the LuktraClan leader, hissing. She seemed outraged that you had been insulted.

Of course, Sweetheart isn't the best at fighting...and...

Was beaten before the fight even started.

Luckily Willowstorm got to the LuktraClan leader before more damage was done.

Sweetheart was bleeding so much...

Luckily, when the LuktraClan leader was beaten, so we're her Warriors. They turned back. The PexelClan thanked us, but their medicine cat was too injured to help as she had tried fighting back herself.

So we had to carry Sweetheart back ourselves.

--------

I blink.

Sweetheart's been placed in Treepelt's den. She's tending to other cat's wounds. Well, Snaketalon's, really...

Sweetheart's still unconscious.

"...Do you regret going over?" I ask.

"Do you regret sending us?" Wolfshine asks.

"You sent yourselves. Do you regret bringing Sweetheart?"

"Do you regret taking Sweetheart for granted?"

"I'm not!"

Wolfshine gives me a look. She seems to stare straight into my soul.

I turn away.

The sun in rising on the horizon. But, being the bad luck magnet, a feeling passes through me.

Two feelings. One embraces the coming of Stormlight.

The other means I'm waking up soon.

"I have to go...back." I sigh. "Tell everyone, won't you?"

Wolfshine pauses, then nods.

I start to make my way out of camp.

I can hear a couple of angry yowls shoot at me as I exit and make my way back to the world of school, parents, stress and anxiety.

-------

Okay, now I'm just gonna list the people who are new in the story instead of listing the whole cast.

So

Stormlight - happycakecat23

Sorry for the short chapter, I just think you would prefer to see if Sweetheart's okay rather than waiting.

Okay, now for a fun contest to make up for the short chapter-

Who do you ship (in JetraClan) and why?

The best answer gets their ship to be canon as long as the cats involved don't have a crush in their form and aren't Sweetheart. I have plans for her.
