"Silverkit, wake up," a voice whispered urgently. Silverkit opened her eyes blearily. She was staring into Oakfur's face. "What is it?" she asked groggily. He didn't answer right away, as he was pulling her by the scruff out of the nest.
"What's going on?" she meowed in protest. He gazed at her with serious eyes. "Sprucepaw is sick. Nearly all of his wounds are infected and they're giving him a fever," he finally answered. Silverkit felt horror creeping into her mind as realization clicked into place. That's why Sprucepaw felt cold when he was practically burning up. "Is he going to die?" asked Silverkit.
Uncertainty flashing across his eyes, Oakfur looked down at Sprucepaw. "I don't know," he admitted. Silverkit felt the icy claws of fear grip her heart. She couldn't lose Sprucepaw. Him and Beekit were the closest friends she had, she couldn't bear losing both of them. Oakfur rested his tail on her shoulder.
She looked up at him, her blue eyes meeting his gray ones. "I've done the best I can," he meowed. "We'll just have to pray to StarClan and hope he's strong enough to pull through." He gave Sprucepaw one last look, then turned around and padded through the den towards Beekit. Silverkit followed him. As he began changing the herbs on her injuries, Silverkit felt utterly hopeless.
She limped forward with the intention of helping. Oakfur caught her with his paw and gently pushed her back. She was confused. "You're still injured, you know," he said. Silverkit nodded, not getting the message. "You need to rest. Go lie down" he meowed. She felt her ears and tail droop in sadness as she stalked back to her own nest.
She wished there was a way she could help Sprucepaw and Beekit, but there just wasn't.
