Beauty of Healing
(Katniss’s POV)
She looked up at the early morning sun. The battle seemed so long ago now. It had been a week since that battle with Shadowclan. In the past week she had learned much of how the clans. Her wounds had healed but she had accidently reopened her Shoulder wound. [1]
“Hey Katniss you want to come hunting with us?” called Graystripe from across the clearing
“Be right there Graystripe!” she called back. She cleaned herself and then walked over to where Graystripe and Cloudtail were discussing where to hunt.
“I think we should go down to that first burrow Lionblaze found.” Graystripe said.
“I’m telling you that burrow is abandoned. Sure mice are dumb but they aren’t that dumb!” Cloudtail replied.
“Maybe we should search over towards the Shadowclan Border. Since the battle no one has gone over there except to patrol. If we got in a little from the border we might find some mice that are dumb enough to come out.” Katniss put in.
“Not a bad idea Katniss.” Graystripe said. Then they walked out to begin hunting. They quickly caught two mice and a rabbit. Katniss was about to catch a vole when she noticed Jayfeather was running into the old Twoleg Place. She looked back at the vole to see it scurrying away. She looked at it angrily and then turned back to the Twoleg Place. She raced in and found Jayfeather at his herbs.
“Oh good it’s you. Grab some catnip and bring it back to the medicine cat den immediately” he muffled through the catnip leaves and then he ran off. She grabbed a mouthful and ran off to the camp. When she got there she saw that several cats were walking around anxiously. She took the catnip into the medicine cat den. She looked at Jayfeather who was working the catnip he had collected. He looked at her and swiped the catnip from her before and pushed her out of the den. “No one is allowed in until I heal Dovekit or…” Jayfeather told her. She noticed Gale sitting nearby. She walked over
“How you feeling?” she asked him
“Better. Jayfeather said tomorrow I should be able to move around freely and help the clan.” Gale replied
“That’s good.” She said smiling.
She then looked back at the den to see Jayfeather running off to get more Catnip muttering “why isn’t she getting better?” she sighed hopefully Dovekit would pull through. She decided to take her mind off it and go for a walk down at the lake she walked down the shore towards the Windclan Border. It was nice out. Maybe she should hunt a little more for the clan. Soon she had caught a mouse that was hungry, it was scrawny but she didn’t have time or numbers to invade a mouse den. She continued on her walk until she got to the Windclan border. She was about to turn around when she heard voices of Windclan cats “hey there! You!” said a voice.
Three cats all holding herbs walked up to the border “what do you think you are doing?” asked the tabby tom that had first called to her. Lionblaze had told her about the leaders, this tom must be Onestar. Beside him was another tom and a she-cat.
“Just taking a walk, you’re name is Onestar correct?” she asked
“That is correct… these are my clan mates, Crowfeather and Kestrelflight, now who are you?” replied Onestar. He set the herbs he was carrying down.
“My name is Katniss.” She replied, “Sorry if you thought that I might cross your border, one of the Thunderclan kits has Green-cough. Well actually it might be that Fatal Black-cough that Jayfeather was talking about.”
“Black-cough?!?!” yelled Kestrelflight dropping her load in the process she began sniffing through her herbs and pulled out three flowers and handed them to Katniss “This is Chamomile, it will keep the kits strength up and soothe it, that will help a lot. You are lucky that Crowfeather found some and we were just getting herbs.” Kestrelflight said then picked up her herbs. “I hope the kit feels better.” Kestrelflight muffled then began walking away from the border. Onestar and Crowfeather followed her.
Katniss ran back to camp to give the Chamomile to Jayfeather, it was a tight squeeze adding the mouse into that. But she made it back to camp without dropping anything. She placed the mouse on the small pile. She looked around for Jayfeather and saw that he was in his den trying to heal Dovekit. She walked up to the door “I told you not to come in here!” Jayfeather yowled taking a quick glance at her.
“I brought herbs.” She muffled through the Chamomile, Jayfeather turned and saw the Chamomile.
“Chamomile, Where in the world did you get that?” Jayfeather asked bewildered
“Windclan found some wild and gave some to me” she said, Jayfeather nodded and took it he began chewing it into a pulp and feed it to Dovekit. He used a few more herbs and soon Dovekit was asleep. Katniss stepped outside and sat down next to Gale. Jayfeather came out and checked on Gale.
“Everything looks good Gale, you can move around freely now.” He told Gale. Jayfeather then went off to talk to Firestar. After a few minutes firestar jumped up onto the big rock on top of his den.
“All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highledge for a clan meeting.” Firestar yowled all the cats, including Gale and Katniss, gathered around the Highledge. “Jayfeather has told me that Dovekit will be okay.” He said simply. There were sighs from all around after the week of worry for the kit they could finally get back to their regular duties without worrying.
