[DISCONTINUED] I Will Be Your Eyes {A Jayfeather x Reader}

{ Chapter Fifteen }

My heart pounded quickly as I let the name ring in my head. I blinked a few times.

' Hawkfrost...? Wh-Who is that...? ' I asked, my voice hushed.

' He- he was a ruthless killer...much like Tigerstar, if you've been told of him. Hawkfrost is still seeking revenge and with Tigerstar along side him in the Dark forest, there is barely any escape, but I need you to help me. ' She explained quietly. My heart seemed to stop at her words, my body seemed flighty and I couldn't control myself.

' W-er...with what exactly...? ' My voice cracked.

' Well, I need you to gather three cats of the same kin, and find the place of peace, to unveil your density. ' she whispered.

For Starclan's sake, why are spirit cats so vague ?! I gulped down my fear and nodded.

' Oh no! They've found me! I have to go now, you must venture to the place of peace tonight!'

The voice began to fade and I looked around. The world fell back into place and I was startled by my own daydream. I was gasping for breath as Leafpool leaped towards me, a concerned look on her muzzle.

" Hey hey, are you alright? " She asked, concern lacing her words.

I gulped back my screams and stiffly nodded.

Leafpool looked skeptical as she sighed.

" Lay back down, at least. Your paw won't get better if you continuously use it. " she murmured, passing back towards where she was sorting her herbs. The pain shot through me as she said those words and I collapsed.

I saw Jayfeather look at me out of the corner of my eye, and he rushed over. He laid a paw on my chest, and turned his head towards Leafpool.

" Leafpool! Y/w/n isn't doing to well. " he called. Leafpool trotted over and examined me, her eyes shot to my paw.

My head turned towards a thump that sounded in the den. I sniffed the air, and the smell of blood and herbs stung my nose. I turned towards where the thump was and remembered where Leafpool and I had laid y/w/n down to rest. She must have stumbled on her paw!

I rushed to her side and felt her chest to make sure she was still breathing. Thankfully, she was. I called over Leafpool, as the scent of blood grew as I got closer to her paw.

I heard Leafpool's paw steps as she approached us. She Pushed me out of the way and started to do something with y/w/n. Ever since that day in Starclan, I had a strange feeling when I was around her. A need to protect her. I didn't feel that way before.

" It's her paw. " Leafpool states. I rolled my eyes at her statement.

" I'm well aware of that Leafpool. " I grumbled. She huffed.

" No! I mean, it's bleeding, and it looks as though somebody scratched it. " She hissed. I was taken aback by her sudden change in demeanor.

" It...it's probably just from when she sprained her paw. " I huffed. I wanted to believe what I said. I desperately wanted to.

" It's a fresh wound Jayfeather. Get me some cobwebs. " She directed. I nodded briskly, and headed towards the herbs and felt around. Nothing.

" We're out. " I murmured quietly.

" What was that? " Leafpool asked.

" I said we're out! " I snapped. I was genuinely surprised at my random outburst.

I could here y/w/n repeatedly try to quietly  convince us that she was fine.

Leafpool paused for a moment. " I'll go get more. You stay here. Make sure y/w/n doesn't try to leave or stand. " She demanded, rather harshly. I heard her leave the den and I made my way over to y/w/n. I sat with her in the nest.

" Are you okay? " I asked, as gently as I could. She let out a shaky sigh.

" No. " was all she could manage to say. I decided not to question her any further and I sat waiting until Leafpool came back.

She trotted towards us, and began to treat y/w/n's mysterious wound. I sighed and moved out of the nest to sort through more herbs. I had already done it three times today, and it was like I was using it as a distraction rather than a job. 

I kept thinking to myself .

' this is tearing me apart. '
