"Because here you can rest up and heal, and as for Blizzard, don't get in his way kit."
"Alright, but couldn't I have just been brought to Riverclan? I mean, I'm a medicine cat apprentice, so with the right materials, technically I could fix myself. My mentor's out for a while."
Ha titled his head and looked down at the black cat, "Do you think I care?" He said blankly, "Because I don't care if you if your Clear Sky's himself, your staying here."
Ashpaw turned his ears back, but didn't argue. Looked like he'd be stuck here a while. But what about the clan?! Finchsong left me as the medicine cat! Lilypetal's just there for assistance! She can't do it all by herself! He started getting anxious and fidgeted with his paws.
"Do you need to walk?" The tom asked blankly, staring out the den.
"I can try, but I don't know whether I can." Ashpaw pulled himself onto his three usable paws and began limping around in circles, the crippled version of pacing.
"Good for you, you learned how to walk.." His voice was still level, and now it was getting annoying.
Ashpaw ignored the tom's comments. If he paid them too much mind, he'd get irritated, and he really didn't care enough to be vexed right now. He just continued his strange pacing, worrying about this and that.
"Is he ok?" Asked a unknown female voice.
"Yes he is Winter, don't worry." Said the tom, glancing back at him.
"What am I going to do?!" Ashpaw muttered to himself. "Finchsong's gone, and Lilypetal's inexperienced… no, no, no!" He started shredding the grass inside the cave with his claws.
"Learned to walk and now how to use his claws, very good." The tom muttered.
"Just leave me alone! I've failed my clan and there's nothing I can do about it!" Ashpaw's eyes filled with tears, and he started pacing again.
"What a sad story…" He muttered, "I don't care.."
Why is this tom such a jerk? He's separated me from my clan and now I'm doomed! His breathing grew quicker, and he looked for a way out. I can't stay in here any longer or I'll suffocate!
"Cant we let him out?" Came the voice of Winter, "Fresh air is good for hurt cants."
"I don't give a mouse dung about what happens to him." The tom muttered, leaving the den.
Ashpaw sat down and started pulling clumps of fur out of his tail. No, no, no, no, no! I need to get back! You can't walk, stupid!
"Ashpaw?" Winter said, padding into the den. "Ashpaw?!" She exclaimed, pushing his paws away from his tail, "Don't do that!"

"I have to get back to camp! What if some cat's injured?! I can't do anything to help!" He lay down on the ground and hid his face in his paws.
"It will be ok," Winter soothed, "Think about the feral cats that have no home, no healer, but yet they survive."
"But my mentor's not even there! She left me as the medicine cat for the entire clan and now I can't do anything! I'm such a disappointment… I've failed her and the clan…"
"No, you were found and brought here, you had no chose to come or go so you have not failed your clan."
"I wanna go home…" Ashpaw knew it sounded childish, but he didn't care much. He kept his head hidden beneath his paws, and his tail between his legs. He was very small for his age, he always had been, and he looked like a kit beside the large she cat.
"I can't do that, I'm not the leader."
"The leader? I thought you guys were just some band of rogues or something… rogues don't really have leaders, do they?"
