Tall Star and Jake

Sickness

Tall Star woke up, it was almost leaf bare but it was not cold so prey was still out, 'For some reason, I wonder how Scourge and Ash Fur are doing, I mean if Jake is my mate I kinda have to worry about him now. Hes my kin.' Tall Star got lost in thought, Tall Star went hunting, then he seen something in the shadow, 'Was that Scourge? I think that's Ash Fur on his back but why?' Tall Star looked, "Come on Ash Fur hang in there." Scourge kept his tail on Ash Fur for warmth in case it got cold Tall Star guessed, "Hey Tall Star!" Scourge called, "Huh?" Tall Star acted like he did not see him, "Ash Fur has been coughing, I don't know why I need your medicine cats help." Scourge begged, "Why are medicine cat?" Tall Star asked, "We were staying at Barely's and Barley does not really like me so he kicked us out, and Ash Fur said this was your territory." Scourge glanced at Ash Fur's weak, sleeping body on his back with a worried face, "Please.... I don't want to lose him." Scourge looked down, Tall Star thought he would act the same if he was in Scourges paws, "Fine, Bark Face will help him." Tall Star agreed, this is Jake's son I can't let him die like this, let alone his mate, "Fallow me." Tall Star led Scourge to the Wind Clan camp, "I will bring Ash Fur to Bark Face, if that's fine with you." Tall Star asked, "That's fine I guess." Scourge sat down in the shadows, Jake smelled him, "Hi Tiny." Jake walked over and sat by him, "Please don't call me Tiny." Scourge said, "Why?" Jake asked, "It brings back bad memory's...." Scourge trailed off, "How?" Jake wanted to know why after all Scourge was his son, "Ruby hated me for being small she said I was weak.. " Scourge trailed off again, "Oh what did Socks think?" Jake wanted to know what happened since Jake had never been a father to Scourge, "Socks did the same and I hated him for a long time but now I don't." Scourge explained, "Do you know Fire Heart is your brother?" Jake said, "WHAT!"  Scourge tried to catch his fathers gaze for a hint of joke, "So I nearly killed him for no reason..." Scourge whispered, "What?" Jake did not hear him, "Nothing I guess I did know a little bit... When Fire Heart killed me, Ash Fur took me to the Moon Stone to get nine lives, and Ruby said that 'The forces of thunder and blood will come together and forgive.'." Scourge explained, Tall Star was listening in, "I think i'm gonna see if I can see Ash Fur." Scourge walked to the medicine cat den, "Hello? Can I see Ash Fur now?" Scourge peeked his head in, "Sure, I have to get herbs any way." Bark Face let him in, and went out to fetch herbs, Tall Star went up to Jake, "Do you think I can trust him? I mean he did try to kill Rusty." Tall Star pointed out, "I know.. I forgive him though... If Ash Fur forgives him I guess I can to." Jake did make a point. Back with Scourge, he put Ash Fur's head on his front paws, and then Scourge lied down, "S-Scourge?" Ash Fur stuttered, "Shh, It's OK, its just me, were in Wind Clan for a while while you get better enough to get to the mountain." Scourge explained, Ash Fur only blushed and put his head back on Scourge's paws and slept, Scourge put his head to the side so he did not wake Ash Fur.
