ThunderClan: Life Before 2020's Fire

[Mango]

The grey kit stood miserably in the clearing. She was a bit depressed, but she didn’t want to be depressed. She hated her name with a burning passion, but she dared not ask her mother or Passionstar to change her name. Witheredkit grimaced watching other kits playing.

Tallmarsh's expression lightened a bit at the sight of her former apprentice. She padded over, long tail swaying behind her. "Everything's...stressful. Being medicine cat is a very difficult job, especially when you suck at memorization," she said with a small purr. It seemed that whenever she was around Nightpaw, Tallmarsh's mood was exceptionally better. "I just need to get out of the medicine den and away from those stupid herbs. I was thinking we could go on a hunting trip, just like the old days?" she suggested. What the medicine cat needed was some fresh air and time outside. She dearly missed exploring the territory, running through the undergrowth and climbing trees in pursuit of prey. What she really wanted right now was a chance to forget about her medicine cat duties and be a warrior for a few moments.

Stupid wounds. Stupid battle. Stupid mangy mouse-brained cat who doesn't know how to clean his own claws... Cherrybubble was not in a good mood. During the most recent battle, she had received multiple additions to her already large collection of scars. And they weren’t small and simple. No, they were quite large, with a few that could be serious. But of course Cherrybubble slunk away when everyone else was getting treated by the medicine cat. She was strong, and independent, she could handle herself. But, curse her horrible luck, one of the acts she had battled, a large burly tom, did not have clean claws when he gouged them into her fur. So instead of having simple, quickly healing wounds like usual, two of her larger ones had grown infected. This had simply been a bother of her, as she could not perform her regular warrior duties efficiently. And cats had started to take notice. The infections had grown worse, and a certain cat had decided to take matters into her own paws.
So now here Cherrybubble was, having been forced into the medicine den by Passionstar’s mother, Springingsky. Ever since her and Passion had become best friends, Springingsky had been like a second mom to her. And Cherrybubble adored the older feline, who was just as frisky and hard-headed as she was. But, also like her, she was ridiculously stubborn. She had achieved a motherly stubbornness level that Cherrybubble had quickly learned couldn’t be overcome.
So, with messy white and black fur, yet green eyes still shining with her ever burning fire, Cherrybubble made her way into the medicine’s den. She sat down with a wince, the larger laceration on her back glaring up in pain as she did so. Her eyes scanned the dim den, looking for any sign of Tallmarsh, the Thunderclan medicine cat. She would like to be out of here as soon as possible. The space was making her claustrophobia act up, and she wasn’t too particular fond of the smell either.

((lol perfect, tall is salty too))

Why couldn't they have just not fought? Sure, it was fun being able to fight again, but now it seemed like Tallmarsh's den was never empty. There were always cats in her den wanting to be healed as if she could just tap there wounds with her magic healing stick and have all their injuries disappear. Currently the medicine cat was pouting in her nest at the very back of the den. Normally she would be sorting herbs or trying to memorize their names and uses since there was no one in need of healing, but Tallmarsh was tired of that. And she was not going to go outside and risk forced conversation and a messy pelt. She was fine sitting in her nest, pretending to sleep and wondering why she'd even agreed to this position in the first place. There was rustling at the entrance, and with it the scents of an unfamiliar cat, open wounds, and infection. Great. For now, the medicine cat was pretty much concealed from view with her dark pelt blending into the shadows, but she couldn't stay hidden forever. It was her duty to help her Clanmates, after all. Not bothering to open her eyes or move from her position, she grumbled, "So, what's wrong with you?"

The patched feline perked her ears as she herad a voice from deeper within the den, her tail-tip flicking slightly. She had certainly been surprised, she hadn’t smelled a cat in here at all. But then again, anyone who lives in this stench is likely to smell exactly like it. Cherrybubble narrowed her eyes in the dim, trying to get her eyes to adjust faster. She was able to pick out a shape among the darkness, turned away from her. But the voice had been clear.
Letting out a small huff, she kept her tone serious as she answered. “I’m not invincible, that’s what.” She meowed, her eyes widening seriously. She shuffled her paws on the ground for a better position, tilting her head to one side a little. “Got any stinky herbs that can help with that?” A small smile had made its way to her maw now, her green eyes glinting with a mixture of amusement and genuine curiosity.

Tallmarsh sat up and opened her eyes. She glared at the wall for a moment, tail tip twitching with annoyance. "Mm. You're stinking up my den with your infections, so I'll see what I can do," she answered. She finally looked over her shoulder at the black and white she-cat. With an exaggerated sigh, the medicine cat stood up and plodded over. When she had reached the wall where she stored her herbs, she motioned with her tail for Cherrybubble to come over. "I'm going to put marigold and horsetail on that infection, which should clear it up. And I'll put dandelion on it to help with the pain. I can also give you stinging nettle for swelling." As she rattled these off, she pulled a few leaves from each pile. Frowning at the wall of herbs, she pulled out two more, muttering, "I'll use cobwebs...no, catchweed to keep the paste on and cobnuts to thicken it... Oh, and I could also give her that other one... golden-something, but that's for preventing infections..."

Silverkit shot past her sibling, maneuvering through warrior's and apprentice's legs. The she-kit managed a leap to the other side of the clearing and looked back at her sister.

''Where we are going?'' She yelled, running until she got very close of her sister.

"Dunno." She said and looked around. "Hmmm... How about... The fresh kill pile!" She said and though they could drag their mom a piece of prey, and take one for themselves

He figured it would be rude not to,and he usually enjoyed playing with them anyways. Despite Silentkit's act, he knew that she did to. ¨If you don't want to play Silentkit, you don't have to.¨ Birchkit tld her, just to be sure she really wanted to play.He knew most of the time, she did but said she didn't, but he wanted to be sure so he was not forcing her. He knew he would't want to be forced to do anything, so he very highly doubted she would.

"that's great!" Fawnkit mewed loudly before crawling around the nursery looking for some moss balls. "Can yall help me look for some I'm not sure where they went," she said a little worried that the bigger kits may have taken them.
