"Alright. Finchsong, come along." "Can't Oakleaf help us get her back?" Foxstar considered for a few moments. "Fine, he may come. He's probably stronger than you are anyways."
"Alright. Finchsong, come along." "Can't Oakleaf help us get her back?" Foxstar considered for a few moments. "Fine, he may come. He's probably stronger than you are anyways."
Leaping back to them, he walked over to the other side of Silverbrook and helped lift her up. "Ok, lets go."
Finchsong nodded and assisted in any way she could. The most efficient way to get back was through another clan's territory, so they made haste. Surely, they wouldn't be attacked. They couldn't be. The leader of a clan surrounded by medicine cats who were bringing a fallen medicine cat back to her clan.
"So wheres you camp?" Oakleaf asked, trying to find it from the top of the hill from where they all where.
"That way." Finchsong gestured with her nose to a large patch of reeds and tall grass. "It's well camouflaged for safety purposes." There was also a small stream surrounding the camp, which required cats to either swim through or hop across the slippery stones that led inside.
"How do you guys stay dry?"
"Well, this is Riverclan. We don't need to." She slid into the water and gracefully swam across, coming out the other side with sleek fur. She shook out her fur, leaving it mostly dry. "True Riverclan cats have water resistant coats and webbed paws, like otters."
"Ewwww." he put one paw in the water, and then pulled it out, "You cant go in with Silverbrook, I'll like to stay dry tonight."
"Use the stones, then! That's what they're doing." She looked over at Foxstar and Hawkflight, who were stepping carefully across the stones with Silverbrook.
"Uhhhh." Sighing, he followed them across then went back into place besides Silverbrook.
Finchsong followed behind the group, falling silent. She tried her best to not show how sorrowful she really was. She needed to be strong for the clan, as she was now the only medicine cat.
"if you need help with anything, Finchsong, just ask me." He muttered, following close behind her.
"Of course, Oakleaf." She could hear her clanmates' shocked gasps as Silverbrook was carried past them, and she hung her head. They were staring at her, wondering what happened, how it could have happened. After all, Finchsong was a medicine cat, she should have been able to fix it. No, I couldn't have… I had no access to any necessary resources, and the wounds were too bad anyways…
"Thank you Hawkflight for doing what you did," Oakleaf said, nosing the brown tabby tom, "Thank you."
"It's no problem, Oakleaf. Silverbrook and I were quite close; it's only respectful that I should help. My deepest condolences, Finchsong." Hawkflight dipped his head before leaving.
Turning to her, Oakleaf asked, "Should I go too or do you want some company?"
"I think you're allowed to stay, if you want to." She smiled weakly, trying her best not to make eye contact with any of her clanmates.
Seeing how well she was pushing back her tears, Oakleaf quickly took his placed next to her, "You don't have to hid you sadness, its actually heath for you to cry when you sad."
(I forgot about the poor baby JAYSONG!!)
(NOOOO JAYSONG he needs to come in and sob dramatically over her body. "MY LOVE! WHOMEVER HAST TAKEN THOU FROM ME???")
Finchsong nodded, closing her eyes. A few tears rolled down her cheeks, and she hung her head in silence.
(I give you the honer of being dramatic because I cant do it ;/
Awkwardly glancing around at the other cats, Oakleaf followed Finchsong's manner of mourning.
Suddenly Jaysong rushed in. "Silverbrook!" He cried out. Finchsong looked up, slightly surprised. "Silverbrook nooo!" He lay over her body, sobbing.
"Uhh, did he…. love her?" He turned his head to Finchsong in confusion.
Finchsong nodded. "Supposedly secretly, but he's terrible at bluffing." She looked down at Jaysong, more tears falling from her eyes. "If she hadn't become a medicine cat, they would have been mates."
Oakleafs ears when back, "Wow, he would have been one lucky cat."
"Why Starclan?! Why have you taken her from me?!" Jayson cried out. Finchsong smiled softly. "I know. He would always get small injuries and such just so he could come visit her in the medicine den."
