Warriors: A Dark Sun

Chapter 13

Lilypaw shrieked in horror and bolted up trying to ignore the throbbing coming from her leg. She limped as fast as she could to her sister and slashed the fox with fury. She yowled and shrieked until she heard three animals burst into the clearing. The wounded apprentice twisted to look behind her and saw Snowbreeze, Grassheart and Icestar. She was shocked that the leader had come to their rescue. Lilypaw saw fury cover the leader's icy glare when she saw the fox while Grassheart's eyes glazed with terror at seeing his daughter being mauled by the fox. Snowbreeze turned and ran back to camp to get Echomist. Icestar and Grassheart fought the fox with fury and finally it's ran off. Icestar bolted towards Lilypaw and Grassheart quickly grabbed Owlpaw. Icestar had worry and anger in her gaze, but she said nothing as they waited for Echomist. With Snowbreeze being one of the fastest warriors in the clan, Echomist arrived quickly. Echomist rushed over to Owlpaw, who now had blood staining the snow and her belly. "Snowbreeze! Get cobwebs! Grassheart! Push on her belly! Icestar! Get marigold!" Echomist shouted orders at the warriors.
"What should I do?" Lilypaw asked wanting to help her sister.
"You've done enough." Grassheart growled at his daughter. Lilypaw stepped back, feeling more hurt than when she broke her leg. She backed into Icestar who was sternly glaring at Grassheart.
"That is no way to treat her Grassheart. Especially after all she has gone through." Icestar coldly told the large warrior. The leader looked down at Lilypaw in pity and Lilypaw felt her ears burn in shame at being pitied. Icestar started sniffing around Lilypaw's leg. "It's only sprained not broken." Icestar announced. Echomist stood up and sighed. The beautiful medicine cat's eyes were glazed with grief and worry.
"She'll live, but the damage is bad. She probably won't be training until next leaf-bare. No matter what happens now if she has kits in the future, the birth will kill her."
