"Of course Roosterpaw." She meowed just as weakly. "You said I need to rest and your right." She told him, laying down softly in the nest again. "Did you find him?" She asked her leader.

"What happened?" Adderstar demanded to Roosterpaw, not angrily but with deep concern. He looked to Bravestep, seeing the obvious strain she held trying to speak and stand. "Easy, Bravestep; you must conserve your energy. Rest." His voice was firm and orderly, but his tail was twitching nervously. He looked to Amberpaw and Roosterpaw again. "What. Happened?"

Wheatpaw's eyes grew, noticing the pungent aroma as well. He gave Goosepaw a fearful look before running beside her into camp. Searching around wildly, he was slightly relieved to see there was no immediate signs of another attack, but he could overhear his father talking in the medicine cat's den. "What happened?" he thought aloud, giving Goosepaw a worried glance. "We were gone just for the whole sunrise..."

Adderstar growled with frustration. Those cursed beasts AGAIN? The tabby looked at the apprentice's leg, appalled and enraged. "Where have they gone? Did you drive them out of camp again?" he barked.

"We went out to hunt." Bravestep lied, her voice weak. "Applegaze, Emberfrost and I were going to hunt with the apprentices in the mouse grove. We went ahead to ensure that it was safe and Amberpaw tagged along." She continued her lie. "The foxes appeared out of nowhere and all we could do was protect ourselves." She meowed in report to her leader. "We were both injured, but the foxes are both dead." She struggled to get her story out. She lowered her head to her paws, un able to keep it up any longer.

Goosepaw looked at Wheatpaw and shrugged before sneaking closer to the medicine den to listen, glancing back at her friend as though she expected him to follow.
Roosterpaw piped up, "Bravestep will need to heal from her wounds for a while, and Amberpaw...." he cast a glance at the apprentice, "I-I don't know, but... I don't think her leg is going to be the same as it was."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Hazelpaw giggled, tilting her head up to look at the sky. "We need to get rid of those foxes for good." she rose to her paws and stretched out a little bit. Hopspaw stood up and watched the patrol enter camp curiosly. "I don't see Birchpaw," She commented to Hazelpaw.

"I don't either," Hazelpaw replied quietly, perking up her ears and listening to the mutters of the patrol's entrance and scouring the cats to try to find their fellow apprentice. "I don't think they found him yet." Her heart sunk at the thought of what might have happened to the tom, someone she considered a friend. She never really got to know him, but she knew he must have been a good cat to have so many others searching the entire territory for him. She lifted her head and turned towards Hopspaw quietly. "Do you think he's coming back?"

{Amberpaw has enough problems to deal with. Bravestep isn't heartless. } Bravestep looked over at the panicked apprentice sympathetically. She knew how long it would take to heal and Amberpaw would be downtrodden if her Warrior ceremony were postponed. "Amberpaw acted like a true warrior, and though she is the reason I am a wreck right now, she was only acting to protect her clan." She meowed, some strength returning now that she was laying down.

"I mean, look at it..." Roosterpaw meowed, a little too matter-of-factly. "Some injuries are just too far gone, and they leave their mark. Like some of our older warriors scars." He reasoned, his ears pinning back. "I wish I could tell you otherwise."

Adderstar listened intently, amazed by their heroism. His heart ached about the fact that he hadn't been able to protect his clanmates, especially the young Amberpaw. Now she would most likely not be able to graduate to a full warrior, and it pained him to see her realizing that. "Roosterpaw, how are Applegaze and Emberfrost? Did they sustain any injuries?" he noted the other two warriors were not in the den with Bravestep, wondering their condition.

"I don't know..." Hopspaw admitted disappointedly, before hardening. "But he'd better!" She growled with a stamp of her paw. "He's worse off on his own, and he could get himself into some real trouble!"

Wheatpaw hesitantly tagged behind Goosepaw, pricking his ears as he listened to Bravestep. His heart lurched as he heard mention of the foxes, but he was relieved once he heard they had finally been killed. "Wow...they really killed those foxes?" he whispered, amazed. "Those were some strong cats."

"They only received minor injuries, Adderstar. They should heal within a few days." Roosterpaw meowed. He purred very quietly at how much like a medicine cat he sounded.

"They are not much worse off than yourself." Bravestep answered. "They dragged me back to camp after my... confrontation with the foxes jaws. Flameshatter helped them as well." She meowed.

Goosepaw nodded distractedly at Wheatpaw as she continued to listen. Then she added, "That means we're safer again."

She stood up and limped over to the apprentices nest slowly, laying down next to her and ran her tail down her back comfortingly. "It's okay Amberpaw." She meowed in the apprentices ear so that only the apprentice could hear. "You will become a Warrior, I promise."

Hazelpaw nodded towards Hopspaw. "You're right, he is going to get into a lot of trouble," She stretched her back and added, "He's making it harder on Adderstar," she could only imagine the stress on the leader;s mind, mixed thoughts flurrying around his mind, producing some sort of haze; that's all she could imagine it would be like. She shook the imagery from her head and tried on a smile. "At least the patrol is back, we know they're going to be okay, right?"

"Right..." Hopspaw agreed quietly. She huffed again and laid down, tucking her tail around her paws.

Adderstar nodded in acknowledgement to the red-throated apprentice, now turning his attention to Bravestep and Amberpaw. "I must go check on the others. But believe me when I say that Meadowclan is deeply grateful for your service," Adderstar meowed humbly, dipping his head at the cats before slipping out of the den. He glanced at Goosepaw and Wheatpaw eavesdropping beside the den. He saw their worried expressions and sighed. "Everything is going to be fine, young ones. Your clanmates did a great service to us, but they paid the price with grave injury. If I were you I'd pay my respects to them," he added that last bit with narrowed eyes, flicking his tail towards the den before waking to the warriors den in search of Applegaze and Emberfrost.
Wheatpaw gulped, nodding sheepishly. He sunk to the floor, as per usual around his father, when he noticed his thick fur was brushing up against Goosepaw. "Oh! S-Sorry," he sweated, jolting away from her body with a hard blush. He didn't mean to invade her space like that, even if the she-cat's prescence made him feel calm...
Talonmask padded to the mouth of the medicine cat's den, a sickly mouse in his jaws. He looked upon Bravestep with uncharacteristic worry in his dark blue eyes. "Bravestep," he meowed softly.

Goosepaw gave him a puzzled look at his apology. "Why?" She asked.

"I really, really hope everything gets back to normal soon," Hazelpaw yawned, irritated with herself for not sleeping as long as she could have.

{Lol. I love Brave. She is so fun and loving.} Bravestep laid her head on her paws and fell asleep next to the apprentice, sincerely sad that the apprentice may have just given up her chance of becoming warrior because of her stupidity. Oh, Starclan, I know she can be a pain in the tail, but please give her another chance. She silently prayed to Starclan. She needed the rest that she was going to have now because of her injuries. She lifted her head, at the sound of her name. However, that caused her to black out again due to the sudden movement. {That will have to be my last post for the night guys and gals. I need some rest just like Bravestep. I'll have her wake up and eat tomorrow. }

Wheatpaw was suprised by her confusion, yet it made him feel a bit silly. "Oh, uh, I guess I'm just used to Birchpaw complaining about my long hair getting on him all the time..." he comfessed, recalling how whenever they had slept at night Birchpaw would kick at Wheatpaw because of his unruly golden pelt. He thought this was how most cats would react if he brushed against them. "I uh, don't like being an annoyance, is all. Sorry." He went quiet, feeling awful mousebrained for overreacting
