Before they got too far away, she slowly turned and stretched her neck out to rip a large feather from the tail of the hawk. She shakily turned back to face Willowpaw, "f..or yo-your nest..." she weakly mewed, forcing a smile onto her face. She had to stay strong! She had to be there for Willowpaw! She had to be the one protecting and supporting her apprentice, not the other way around!

Willowpaw bit back a mournful unhappy whine at the kind gesture taking the feather before putting all her weight in trying to move her too compassionate mentor somewhere safe. Still hysterical strength was something special as Willowpaw was able to shoulder much more of her mentors weight than shed normally be able to determined to pull Snowfern to the medicine cats den no matter what.
"Th-thanks but you need to focus on getting back ok? That stupid bird didnt hurt me so you gotta focus on being ok too!" Willowpaw tried to reassure the older she cat unknowing pf the tear tracks cutting thro
ugh the hawks blood soaking her pelt. "Just keep moving! Please keep moving!" She begged trying to force herself to move Snowfern faster.
