Thymeclan New members needed

Yarrowfur didn't see Duskpelt bounding over and almost jumped in surprise when he heard her skid to a stop beside him. "Fox attack. From what I've gathered Asterpaw and Elmsong aren't looking too good, Thymestar and Wovensight are still outside of camp. Sakura just led a bunch of other warriors out of camp to help." Yarrowfur explained.

"I don't know, you would have to ask Icewhisper, but currently she's busy and probably will be for the next few sunrises. I'm sure we'll hear word of Asterpaw's condition in the coming days, if not by this evening." Yarrowfur said, sitting and shrinking down a little, curling his tail around his paws.

Sort of crouched and keeping his head low, Yarrowfur stared across camp with a worried expression then looked down. He nuzzled her cheek as she got up to leave. "Alright." he stood up to follow her slowly like the day before. When they got to the spot just by the entrance he pushed into the bushes lining the outside of camp and laid down out of the way.

"I slept better. Slept most of the night. How did you sleep?" Yarrowfur replied, rolling on his side a bit awkwardly and viewing the forest from the camp entrance almost upside-down. His tail flicked anxiously.

Asterpaw and Elmsong are back in camp, Icewhisper is treating them and explained Asterpaw's injury to him and Irisheart (his mentor). Mothstripe and Flowerbreeze fought off the fox for a short while and started bringing Thymestar and Wovensight back to camp. Sakura and Night led another patrol of warriors out of camp and met up with them. That new patrol is fighting the fox again (mainly Darkclaw and Adderheart), while Mothstripe is trying to get Thymestar into camp. Duskpelt and Yarrowfur are watching the camp entrance for signs of any cats who come back or if the fox gets too close to camp. Also I was told I should get your opinion on whether or not Elmsong dies)

(they pretty much got it covered lol)

DuskPelt finally stopped, and crouched, tail flicking back and forth. "i slept fine. i wish id woken up sooner, i would have gone with the patrol.... i hope everythings okay out there" she meowed, glancing over her shoulder briefly at her mate. her eyes were dark with concern, and she growled softly as she turned back to watch the trees, hating not being able to do anything but sit. part of her considered just going out to find the patrol herself, the scent trail was strong enough she was sure she could find them.

"Please don't move, we'll be back in camp in a moment." Mothstripe said to Thymestar, who was still on her back. She passed through the entrance to camp and set the leader down next to Asterpaw, Elmsong, and Icewhisper. "I think he's lost a life." she said to the medicine cat.

"It must be chaos out there." Yarrowfur said, ears pricking as he could faintly hear the sounds of cats fighting the fox in the distance. He sat up and watched as Mothstripe brought Thymestar back to camp, moving out of the way to let them pass. He stepped over beside Duskpelt, somewhat relieved to see the leader moving and breathing. "Three injured cats now..." he muttered to Duskpelt.

Adderheart raked her claws across the fox's flank one more time, then she stepped back as Sakura got off of its back legs. Then she crouched low and dived for one if the fox's back legs, sinking her teeth into it. The fox still had one free leg but Adderheart tried to prevent the fox from using it by placing her front paws on it.

Darkclaw losened his grip on the fox somewhat as he heard Sakura's call. Moving fast he sidestepped its first kick but stumbled back as the second one connected, forcing him to let go of the fox. He quickly rolled out if its reach, climbed to his paws just as Sakura landed on its front legs and lunged for its throat again, hoping that it wouldn't be able to fight back for much longer, especially with Nightwhisker biting into the back of its neck.

Icewhisper quickly changed the cobwebs on Elmsong's wound and applied more marigold juice. She pressed the cobwebs on the wound while meowing to Irisheart "Cobwebs aren't enough in some cases. The marigold is supposed to help stop the bleeding. Can you press the cobwebs to the wound while I work on Asterpaw?" She placed some more poppy seed in front of the apprentice and waited for him to lick them up. Then she raced to her den to get some bindweed. Once she was sure the poppy seeds were taking effect she started to work on Asterpaw's leg.
When Mothstripe brought Thymestar into camp she looked up, narrowing her eyes at Mothstripe's words. She looked Thymestar over and as she tried to stop the bleeding with cobwebs and marigold juice she frowned, suspecting that the leader had broken a rib. "He might lose another live," she murmured, fear in her eyes.

Thymestar moaned again. His vision went dark and his body stilled. He knew he was losing another life snd could fo nothing about it. He just wished he was alone and none of the clan had to see it happen. He lay still as his breathing stopped momentarily. He then came to and tried to sit up. "Hello" he said meekly unable to make out who was there.

(I think I'm gonna say he has bad interal damage thst thry can't heal that does him in.))

Wovensight groaned as he was laid down, his eyes opening slightly to look around, searching. "Where's Snowdapple?" His voice was low and shallow, his words slurring together.

Rainsong nodded as Yarrowfur told Duskpelt to stay put. After a while he meowed "He's right, Duskpelt. And I told Sakura to send for us if the fox is too much for them." He stayed silent for a bit before adding "And I trust Nightwhisker to make the right decisions." Then he focused on guarding the camp again.

Icewhisper glanced at Wovensight and then back at Thymestar. She nodded to Spottedbreeze who was pressing the cobwebs to Thymestar's wounds and took a closer look at Wovensight before she started to treat his wounds.

Adderheart let go of the leg and quickly bit into the other one. The fox seemed to have given up but they couldn't let their guard down.

Darkclaw tore at the foxes throat, resisting the urge to step back and catch his breath. Out of the corner of his eyes he spotted Sakura scratching at the fox's underbelly. "Keep at it," he meowed at his clanmates through a mouthful of fur, placing his front paws on the fox to aply even more pressure to her.

Foxkit moved to sit closer to Ferrettail and looked at the ground, having seen enough for now. Wolfkit sat to his mother's other side and shot some glances towards Thymestar and the others. While Weaselkit sat close to her mother too she openly stared in the direction of the injured cats.

(jeez now i really feel sorry for Rapid i wish they didn't have to kill her. edit: i've also got a playlist up of really sad music rn lol)

(Yeah, feel sorry for the poor creature. But she did injure Thymestar to the point that he will die, wounded Wovensight and Elmsong and crippled Asterpaw. Soooooo, pretty sure she did a lot 😁)

Rapid’s hope level mounted slightly as the pressure lifted a bit. She didn’t move though, cause she didn’t have a chance now no matter what these cats did.

(Bah, just kill her already. I’m running out of things to say! Lol)

Sakura stopped scratching at the fox, her heart suddenly just not feeling it. She walked around Darkclaw and sat by its head, bending down to clean the area around its eyes. Her pity for it was too much and she almost darted away into the bushes to grieve for it. But she forced herself to stay and watch it go, hoping to reassure it.
