Lightpaw looked at Smallstar in alarm. "Do you smell that?" she asked, dropping the prey between her jaws. The smell of blood wasn't close but it was pungent. She aouldn't be sure who was in trouble, the smell wasn't very familiar to her. [Minxpaw hadn't been around long enough for her to recognize the scent straight off the bat.] "Should we go back?" She asked searching Smallstar's face.

Minxpaw struggled to remain conscious, her state of mind caused her to hallucinate as a factor to avoid pain. She registered voices, although couldn't place figures for someones blood rain in her eye. The twolegger, the mongrel, or her own? She let out a hiss, which was rasp as it turned out to be just a gasp of breath when Lightface and Dragoneye's began to rub medication onto her sore cuts. First, she imagined the dog holding the bone of her tail coming back to finish whatever was left of her but the frightening image of the bloody eyed, Satanic smirk of a mongrel faded and replaced with her mother, slightly vex as her ears flattened and her tail swished. However... There was this kitten... This strange ball of fur her mom first swatted with a sort of disgust and in the kitten's second attempt, she accepted it. "Hanuli, my young whose pride and tenacity that cannot be swallowed by the sky, there will be a time where you'll find yourself chasing the sunset when you're lost... Stop and dance with the stars, do not follow the pawprints of your old mother." She let out a yowl of anguish, starting to seeing the lies hidden in the words of the Ancients as their pride tarnished by the hands of mankind. The lie she was living was slowly settling in as she continued to yowl whilst writhing on the floor, and pressing forward in a fruitless attempt to run. "Mama... Mama..." Truth was crushing her, her sort of justified pride...
Meaningless.

Lightface jumped at the noise, and mewed, "Minxpaw, shush shush..." She mumured, "I really should've brought poppy seeds.." She used her cobweb on the last of her wounds, and mumured to Dragoneyes, "C-Can you help me carry her? I-I need to get her to my den quickly.." She pushed minxpaw on her legs. "I think she's having a dream.." She got on one side of Minxpaw, trying to lift her.

PiratexXxAngel Lightpaw looked at Smallstar in alarm. "Do you smell that?" she asked, dropping the prey between her jaws. The smell of blood wasn't close but it was pungent. She aouldn't be sure who was in trouble, the smell wasn't very familiar to her. [Minxpaw hadn't been around long enough for her to recognize the scent straight off the bat.] "Should we go back?" She asked searching Smallstar's face. [[Umm... It's too late to fix it now, but there is no Twolegplace connected with WindClan territory. xd ]]
"Follow it," Smallstar mewed briskly. "It's a cat scent. Run." Smallstar broke into a sprint to get to the area with his apprentice. The scent was coming from the Twolegplace, but he wasn't afraid. Especially if a wounded cat was involved. The scents of blood and fear filled his glands as he raced with Lightpaw at his side.

Lightface mumured, "I should run back to camp..." She turned around. "I-I'm sorry, Dragoneyes, but can you quickly go back to camp, go in my den, and get some poppy seeds? I-I know she's asleep, but she seems in too much pain, and I'm afraid if we lift her it'll be worse. Please? They're little black seeds..."

((oh well : / thats ok no one has to know about the twoleg border thing...shhh ;] ))
Lightpaw bolted after her mentor. She struggled to keep pace with him, but suffered silently. He was so lean and looked so effortless as he ran at top speed, no wonder he was their leader. She suddenly felt so grateful. As they neared the scent was almost unbearable. She could smell dog too and wrinkled her nose at the odor. Still running silently beside Smallstar she heard the roar of two leg monsters far off. Adrenaline began to pulse through her as she felt her ears get hot and her whiskers stand out straight. Her runnning became more desperate as her instincts to protect her clan took over. As they got closer still she gained control of herself, and her mind come back into focus. "Minxpaw?" She spotted them and ran over to them. She was appalled at what she saw. Too shocked to say a word. She looked at Dragoneyes to Lightface asking with her eyes what she could do.

Lightface looked at Lightpaw and Smallstar. "S-She ran to Twolegplace...she met a Twoleg kit...she scratched her, and the twoleg kicked her, then a full grown Twoleg kicked her, then she met...a dog..." She glanced at Minxpaw. "Lightpaw, I'm sorry, but can you please run to my den and get some poppy seeds instead of Dragoneyes? They're little black seeds, and it'll make her pain less while we carry her back to camp."

Dragoneyes nodded. "Lightpaw, can you do it? I now you just ran the whole way here." Dragoneyes was panicking slightly, this was the first major thing to go wrong since she had been deputy.
((I guess I was just too lazy to look it up...))

Lightface bent back over Minxpaw, and dabbed some of the poultice on her wounds. "She's still in pain.." She mumured. "Lightpaw, please..." She grabbed some of the remaining cobweb, and wrapped it over the blood soaked cobweb.

[[Actually there are two large dogs in Barley's farm... But that is long off in the future. Barley isn't even alive yet!]]
Smallstar was in a state of shock. "She is in no immediate danger?" he asked silently, not really wanting to hear the answer. Why had she been so far away from Dragoneyes? He body wept blood as she lay there in pain. Smallstar flicked his tail nervously. "I'll go to get the poppy seeds. Lightpaw, stay here and make sure the dog doesn't come back to get Minxpaw." He bolted away from the four cats and ran twice as fast as he did on the way to the Twolegplace. His legs screamed in protest but he only increased his speed. He had to get the poppy seeds for Lightface so she could work without hurting Minxpaw.
Smallstar was running so fast his paw got caught in a small abandoned snake nest hole. A painful jolt went through his body as a crack echoed off the ground. He painfully pulled his injured paw out of the hole and sprinted on on three legs. The pain in his paw was horrible, but he had to get help to Minxpaw.

Dragoneyes paced nervously back and forth. How could she have let this happen? Green eyes darting back and forth, Dragoneyes sat and stood, sat and stood.
What is taking Smallstar so long? She knew it was wrong to think of the leader like that, but he was taking longer than he normally would have.
((I was tempted to have Dragoneyes hurt herself also, but I though it would be a bit over the top.))

((Hmm. I can confront both situations. Winds can carry scents far, especially if it's as strong as blood. I think a can can detect the scent a few miles far even if it's faint. Next, the dog was presumably a runaway taking shelter in a nearby alleyway... Even if the book does not mention such an occurrence, the possibility is rather vague.
You've got to dream a little dream~ xD))
Minxpaw slowly began to recuperate, not physically but mentally. Snapping back from her mental rewind, she came to in the painful world. Her body was resilient enough to bring her back to the real world, a burst of colors but no lines to hold it in. However, seeing that the wounds were painful was a way to indicate that she was recovering. She let out another exhausted hiss, as she tried to rise. She couldn't register Lightface's gentle touch, pain was resonating everywhere, the concentration at the tip of her tail. She felt like heaving, actually, the hisses were her attempt in easing her pain. After a gurgle, she managed to move a solid inch before she collapsed once again. There were muffled voices, around her... They sounded anxious... Solemn.
The dog lifted his head, now hearing rustling through the outskirts of the home. He was a vagabond, running off from his master and living off whatever he could find in this town. The twoleggers were generally kind, some offered food but nothing soothed the mind more then a successful hunt in the dumpster or in the wild. Twoleggers were stingy with their food... As they throw more good food away then they offer. He walked out, his dark sleek coat blending in with alleyway shadows. Now interested that the number of cats had at least doubled he dropped the tail that belonged to Minxpaw and let out loud intimidating growl. If he was lucky, he would have something for lunch and dinner... If not... He'd still have lunch. He licked his chops just by the thought.

Lightface whispered, "Don't move, Minxpaw. You'll only make things worse." She glanced at Dragoneyes and Lightpaw. "D-did you hear that growl?' She mewed. She could've imagined it, but...

Dragoneyes looked around nervously, her eyes coming to rest on a giant dog. "No... You didn't imagine it Lightface." She locked eyes with the dog, her fur puffed up in fright. Suddenly the warrior training kicked in and she moved to stand in front of the medicine cat and the apprentice.
They were more important than her anyways. Dragoneyes hissed at the dog, walking towards it slowly. If it was going to kill her, which it probably would, she wanted to go down fighting to protect her Clan.

Though Dragoneyes was protecting them, Lightface couldn't help unsheathing her claws. If she could help it, she wouldn't let the dog kill anyone. "Hurry, Smalllstar!" She mumured to nobody.
