Prologue
"Mother! Mother!" The tortishelled she-cat cried she dropped the herbs in her mouth as her father began to struggle for breath. Shadowstar rushed over she passed Flamepelt, the calico gave a meanancing glare at his mother. The white tabby leader helped Wildflame up to his paws,"its okay my love, we will rest over there beneath the pines," she meowed gently"Limetail!" she called out The pale tabby calico tom heard his mothers call and made his way quickly to her "yes mother what is it?," he asked his yellow eyes carried a look of distress. Shadowstar glanced over with her amber eyes "would you please take your father beneath those pine tree's just over there, he needs to rest. A silver she cat with faint curved tabby stripes padded over to her mother, "mother listen we can't stop to rest there is a storm on its way we can even bare the snow we're in right now, father won't be able to survive, we must move on a little further, try to find something more shelter like," she plead her blue eyes also carring the look of distress. Shadowstar look at her daughter a bit angered "your father is unable move any further we must stop, your father is suffering with Greencough! You want him to die sooner! if he continues on He will die before the storm lets go its first snowflake!" she stated firmly anger found with in her voice. Willowpool looked at her mother her emotions went from distress to despair, she refused to argue any further with her mother and walked over to her sister Herbleaf. Herbleaf shook her head, "mother is right you can't force father to move anyfurther, he's getting close to passing his life to hunt with StarClan," the tortishell she-cat mewed. Willowpool look at her and looked up seeing Bearclaw alone sitting down his head looking down. Bearclaw turned his head a little to Willowpool. Shadowstar padded over to her mate, and sat beside him and licked his forehead. Herbleaf got up "I'm going to search around a bit to see if there are any useful medicines for father," she padded off into the forest. Flamepelt looked up at the sky as a snowflake landed gently on his face and melted away in an instant. He felt anger rise, as he looked over to his mother.
Chapter 1
The sun made its way up slowly as dawn took place in the vast premisis of MidnightClan. It was the Start of leaf-bare the leaves on the trees died away slowly its beautiful autum colors turning into cold crippled brown lifeless leaves. The cats in the clan began to awaken. the clan is hungry and is in need for prey, we have many kits to care for although with a good nutrition the queens won't be able to give on milk to their kits. we have no apprentices in training, except for Herbleaf she is a tortishell she-cat with beautiful green eyes, she was doing normal things as a warrior but then came to her senses that she could not continue on fighting other cats, she realized she had to much of a soft heart, and so she became a medicine cat apprentice. " Honeyfoot?" she entered the medicine cat den. The medicine cat den is a comfortable small den underground but its has a fallen tree ontop of it acting like the roof ivy grown over the fallen tree creating ivy to break through the roof hanging from the ceiling of the den. A golden tan Tom awoken herbs scattered around on the floor as he stretched his limbs letting out a wee yawn, "good morning Herbleaf, Your up early?" meowed his amber eyes opened and looked over to Herbleaf, the handsome golen medicine cat licked his paw and swept it around and over his ear. Herbleaf looked away and thought he's such a flirt... Her face look as if she was disapointed, which she was "whats with this mess?" she asked firmly. Honeyfoot smiled "I was trying to find the feverfew " he mewed putting the paw to his head "i've been havinf crucial head aches the past three days," he meowed with a painful tone in his voice. the tortie padded up to Honeyfoot putting down her folded up beech leaves, "i've noticed so I went to get some, it wasn't easy to find luckily a generous she-cat in DawnClan gave me some," she mewed, unfolding the beech leaves. Honeyfoot look in curiosity "another cat? from a different clan?" he pondered, "oh yeah DawnClan, sorry my memory isn't that good... Would you mind telling me who?" he asked tilting his head a bit. Herbleaf smiled a bit "dapplepaw," she replied. Honeyfoot gave a friendly smile "oh Dapplepaw she's always so generous, she makes an excellent Medicine cat apprentice, and will make a magnificient medicine cat," he purred, and took a peice of fever few and began to eat it. Herbleaf, its very kind of DawnClan to help us, in MidnightClan's time of need," she purred. Honeyfoot nodded in agreement.
