Mudhound
Thunderclan Hornet | They/them | 40 Moons
Bilingual T3 | Flock Together T3 | Rapid Recovery | Killer Aptitude T3

The clanmates panicking around Mudhound were a blur, the medicine cats scrambling to get the herbs for the sudden unexpected flood of injured and maimed were a blur, the only thing the hornet could see was their sister. Bumblestars lives were preventing her from dying, the tripod was pretty sure, this wasnt a final death. But she wasnt waking either. Bumblestar always got up after she died, and quickly, usually irate and ready to work. Why not now? Why why why why Mudhound didnt want her to die for them! Mudhound wanted their loved ones to live ALWAYS it was their dearest wish to starclan so why wasnt starclan waking their sister from the death she'd gained dying for Mudhound.


Mudhound felt sick, gagging up a mouthful of swallowed blood and water from their drowning, Bumblestars blood from when she'd bled out in the river the first time oh starclan that was their sisters blood, sobbing through the motion and trying to claw forward.


Quackpaw and Sprucejumper were their salvation.


Jolted from panic at Sprucejumpers barked order, the tripod well conditioned to listen to his rare words, Mudhound stilled instantly, eyes wide and shocked and just confused like a kit left alone in the dark. Lost was a good word for all of this really, and blinking a couple times as they took in their first and current apprentices distress something finally snapped inside them. A good thing, this time, as it was their adrenaline driving them to help when they werent capable of it.


Their help was hurting their beloved apprentices, they needed to stop. Slowly, so slowly Mudhound went fully limp, slumped into the ground and their wailing petering out into quiet gasped and weak whimpers they couldnt stop. But their eyes, their eyes were hazed but fixed and aware of the two cats near them, focusing on the loved ones they could reach when Bumblestar was so far away to keep themself present.


They could go, sleep, and drift off when they were in the medicine cats den and Wolfhawk said it was ok, for now they were forcing themself to stay away through the cold in their bones (bloodloss and shock, they knew) and the pain for Quackpaw and Sprucejumper.


@Minku @Alchemist Kitsune (Double posting in the med cat den now and Im saying spruce/quack dragged them in, if you wanna do a quick post there of your cats leaving once muddy is being tended to feel free)
