((Lightface sounds like a kit... Just kidding. xd ))
It was still dark out. "The Clan is resting. There is no need for you to lose energy. To help WindClan recover you need your sleep," Smallstar said softly. "Don't trouble yourself with it Hazelpaw," Smallstar said, turing to the apprentice. There wasn't much that another cat could have done. Minxpaw was injured alone, so no cat could have helped that. His broken leg happened while he was alone, and the dog was fended off with only minor scratches and bumps as a result. Smallstar turned back to Lightface. "Take some poppy seeds. If there is any trouble, Hawkpaw will be able to take care of it, I'm sure, and if we need you, I promise I will wake you."

(( I know!))
Lightface mumured, "Fine." She wouldn't dare disobey Smallstar. She walked over to her poppy seeds, and quickly ate one. She settled down in her bedding, and when the poppy seeds started to kick in, fell in a deep sleep.

Hazelpaw looked up to her leader. She couldn't quite find the words to say, so she simply nodded. Hazelpaw also nodded to Lightface and headed back towards the apprentice den. The sky above was clear and she looked up to Silverpelt until her eyelids grew heavy.
Good night...mom.
She curled up tightly next to Lightpaw and fell asleep, knowing her clan was safe.

((I suppose I'll start it since no one has replied for four hours and a half.))
Minxpaw was conscious now but strangely painless. The poppy seeds and the internal shut down gave her a more the peaceful sleep. Her dreams were empty, or had escaped her clutches as her mind demanded the same euphoria after all those hallucinations of shaded figures and the faraway sounds of dogs. Her timing couldn't have been more then punctual, arising early morn where the zookeepers came out for a daily feed. The confines of her stomach screamed food as it ate away whatever stored fat wasn't torn off from the now decaying mutt. Minxpaw remained deathly still however, seeing that when she moved a paw, the connecting muscles rippled in pain and felt the scabs which were torn flesh drag another continent of her fur painfully. She noticed that a few remained near as her eyes caught Hazelpaw nestling close to Lightpaw. Her ears flattened and she turned away to a wall, refusing to move no longer afterwards.
After awhile, Minxpaw grew restless. Her stomach roared for food and having no heart to even ask the others she attempted to rise. Carefully, she tried to balance her weight onto her front paws as she was flung from her hind legs from the dog's feral jaws. Sadly, her front paws ached as well. She stood... Proud of her somewhat fast healing but... She couldn't move. Her body froze, refusing to withstand the pain of open wounds. As she lifted her left paw while placing an intense concentration in how she used to trot about and lost her balance. Something was wrong... The most important factor in balancing weight to remain resilient to gravity. Her tail. As her shoulder connected with the floor, she hissed with a growling yowl as her nose wrinkled in pain.

((Your posts are so long!))
Smallstar appeared behind Minxpaw. "Minxpaw, you have to rest. I'll get you some fresh-kill." He walked off and soon returned to her with a rabbit in his jaws. "You'll have to try to not get up for a while. Your muscles are torn and sore." He brushed her with his tail and went to go wake up Lightface. She would want to be awake. He walked to her side and prodded her with his paw to wake her up. The dawn light streamed in from the entrance to the Medicine Den as the sun edged up into the sky.

((Finally Hurray! : D))
Lightpaw blinked a few times as the first bright rays of a new day invaded the den. She lifted her head now realizing her muscles were sore and aching from the battle. She shifted a bit noticing Hazelpaw curled up beside her. She smiled but didn't make a sound. Gazing out of the den and across the camp she wondered if anyone else was stirring. If not she wanted to go out and hunt a bit before the others woke up. She rose soundlessly still not wanting to wake Hazelpaw. Later she would ask her to come with her on another hunting trip.
She walked out of the den and breathed in the morning air deeply. It was relieving to see the sun. It meant it was a new day. A new beginning. Hopefully today would be a gentle, harmless, day of healing. She padded toward the medicine cat's den just incase there was someone awake, she wanted to let them know where she was going or maybe see if she was needed and shouldn't go after all.
She peeked inside wordlessly, surprised to see Minxpaw moving around. But then noticed Smallstar standing....despite his injured paw. She made the smallest sound of protest involuntarily. Knowing she should keep her mouth shut. But it was so quiet here. She was sure Smallstar heard her.

Smallstar looked up and nodded at Lightpaw. "Don't worry about my paw. I can still stand, but not put weight on it." He turned back to Lightface. The effects of the poppy seed must still have been working, because she was still fast asleep. He felt a longing at the thought of sleep. He and Hawkpaw had been up all night watching Minxpaw.

Lightpaw searched his face. He looked exhausted. She whispered almost silently. "Hunting?" She phrased it more as a question because she wanted Smallstar to tell her no if he thought she should stay and help. She was a little concerned now. What if she left and they did need her?

Lightface stretched, and mewed sleepily, "Morning?" She turned to look at Minxpaw, and, surprised, mewed, "Minxpaw! You can't get up! You must be in so much pain..." She mumured, and continued, "The poppy seeds had a very long effect on you, and you've already had too much. You can't get up, yet. You're still injured!" She ran over to her herbs, put a few in her mouth, and rubbed them over Minxpaw's wounds. She noticed that she had barely any herbs left. "Oh,no..." She mewed, "I'll need to get more soon..." She turned back to Minxpaw. "I'm not sure if you want to hear your injuries, Minxpaw..."

Dragoneyes sat up slowly and stretched, squinting against the sunlight. Noticing some others walking around, Dragoneyes walked out of the warrior's den and into camp. She padded over to the medicine cat's den where Minxpaw was on the ground and Lightface was worrying over her.
Dragoneyes walked over to see that her apprentice was okay, and turned to Lightface. "How is she?" she asked, giving a small nod at Minxpaw. She caught Smallstar's eyes and nodded respectfully before turning back to look at Minxpaw.

Hazelpaw awoke slowly and stretched. She kept her eyes shut, not wanting to look at the blinding sun. "L-lightpaw?" she mewed quietly. When no one answered, she opened her eyes slightly. She glanced around the apprentice den and Hazelpaw jumped up in shock. "Great StarClan! Did I sleep in?" she cried, shaking off the extra moss from her pelt. "Fox dung! she hissed, and raced into the clearing.
Hazelpaw noticed a group of her clanmates crowded around the medicine den. She padded over to the group and; careful not to make a scene, she tapped Dragoneyes with her tail. "Is Minxpaw ok?" she asked.

Lightface mewed, "She's gotten up, but, she seems as hurt as ever." She looked at Minxpaw. She looked at Dragoneyes, and nodded, "You're wound is fine, just try not to open it again." She sat down and licked her paw. "I'll get Minxpaw some fresh-kill!" She mewed, before racing to the fresh-kill pile and grabbing a pitifully small vole.

The whole clan was awake and bustling in a matter of five minutes. That was fast. She thought. But that little fact also reassured her that they would be ok if she went hunting. She slipped away from the gathering crowd without a word and bounded out of the camp in search of prey.
It didn't take her very long to catch a few small mice and 2 sparrows. She figured it'd at least be enough for Lightface and Hawkpaw to get some energy for the morning and there was still some fresh kill left over from last night. She decided she'd bring what she had back and then ask Hazelpaw to join her on a second outing.
