Morningmeadow gave a confused glance at Goosepaw. "Hey Goosepaw..." she said gently. "Is everything alright?" Morningmeadow sat behind him as he covered his face with moss. What was he doing?

"Yeah, everything is fine," he grumbled into the moss. But it was clear he wasn't being truthful. His voice was choked, strained. His wounds hurt so much, even with the poppy seeds. Why had he decided to take part in that stupid raid at all? He'd fought, and this is what it had cost him. He shifted closer to Morningmeadow, bandaged back beginning to tremble.

Morningmeadow began to notice all the wounds on Goosepaw. They were everywhere! What had happened? "Goosepaw i... What happened?" She said. Had something happened in the raid?

He couldn't take it anymore. He snapped his head toward her, left eye glistening with tears. His right was nothing but an empty socket roughly patched with poultice and cobweb.
"ShadowClan happened!" he shouted. "ShadowClan happened, that's what! They took away my eye, just like they took away my home! I hate them, Morningmeadow, they're all monsters!" He cut himself off and buried his face in the his nest again, shaking. If Shimmeringpool had given him such a disgusted look, he couldn't bear to see the expression on Morningmeadow's face, too.

Morningmeadow gasped, not in disgust, but in surprise! "Oh Starclan, Goosepaw!" Tears began rolling down her cheeks. There was a cat who would go as far as to take an another cats eye out in battle. That, not what Goosepaw looked like, but that was what truly disgusted her. She laid down next to him and patted him with her tail, like she did when she first met him. "Oh Goosepaw, i'm so sorry... I should have been there, i should have helped you.." Morningmeadow's expression turned from being sad, to being filled with rage. "Who did this to you?" She started. "I swear i will claw both their eyes out, and then rip out their throat!" It wasn't like Morningmeadow to act like this, she was usually kind, gentle and forgiving. But not this time, this time she would be a lot less forgiving.

"You didn't have to be there. Sootpaw and I fought them off." He sniffled and leaned into her. Her outburst was, admittedly, shocking - he never would have expected it from a cat who was usually kind and gentle.
"Sparrowpaw and her mentor Bloodtooth," he murmured. "Some other apprentice - I never caught his name, but Sootpaw and I banged him up pretty good. Gave him a pretty deep chest scar to worry about."
He dug his claws into the moss of his nest. They all deserved to die, the whole rotten lot of them, and frankly he wouldn't care if Morningmeadow started with those three.

Morningmeadow managed to calm herself down a bit before continuing. "You're right, Shadowclan is just full on monsters." Morningmeadow sighed, the world was just full of monsters. "Even though all this has happened, i'm super proud of you Goosepaw for you fought during the raid."

"Lionstar said I get my warrior name soon," he whispered. "I just... I just don't know how I can face everyone looking like this." Coyotesnarl had said he would lose friends because of his scar. He didn't want to lose friends. He only really had three of them, after all.
"I can hardly walk, Morningmeadow. Everything's messed up. I had trouble getting into my nest, and that task is supposed to be SIMPLE. How am I going to fight? How am I going to hunt? How am I supposed to be a warrior like this?"
It took him a few moments to realize he was shivering, and he pressed himself into her. "I'm cold."

@Slushie

Morningmeadow was at a lost of words. She felt so bad for Goosepaw, having to go through all of this must be tough. She silently prayed to Starclan that Goosepaw would get better.

"Hey, when I become a warrior-" He cut himself off. No, it would be a weird request, and besides, he didn't even need someone. He would get through this on his own, with or without Shimmeringpool or Wormbite or any of those cats. If they decided to abandon him because of his scars, then that was fine. At least he would know their true colors then.
"I'm going to go to sleep," he murmured. "My eye- my eye hurts." Or, rather, the empty hole in his head hurt.
