Thorn

[cinderdust]

Suddenwind limped with each painful paw step. She peeked into the medicne cat den "Rikka, are you there?" She called out.

Rikka shook the moss out of her pelt. She walked over to Suddenwind, and her eyes snapped open. "Oh my Starclan?! What happened?!" She rushed forward, helping Suddenwind to a moss bed.

[cinderdust]

" Well, first I stepped on a thorn and then I tripped into a bush of them!" Hissed Suddenwind.

OOC: She's quick to anger lol ^.^

[~ Konkarite ~]

OOC: okay! ^^

Rikka just nodded, examining the wounds. "Okay, im going to pull some out first." She examined her pelt even closer, using her nose. When she found a thorn, she would hold it tightly in her jaws, then pull it out gently.

[cinderdust]

Suddenwind flinched a bit as each thorn was pulled out of her pelt. "So, when did you first know you wanted to be a medicine cat?" She asked, trying to take her mind off of her dis-comfort.

Fog seemed to cover over her light frosty blue eyes. "Well, i wanted to be a use to my clan. Being born a kittypet, i didnt want it to seem like the leader made a wrong choice in accepting me." She left for a little bit, coming back with marigold in her jaws. She then cruched it into juice, letting it trickling onto Suddenwinds thorn wounds. "Plus, sense i was badly hurt when Afterclan found me, i spent most of my time in the medicine cats den. There, Lilacpond taught me and i decided that that was my calling. Lilacpond was so happy, and i grieved when she died." The foggy look was then gone, a warm smile on her face. "So here i am. Rikka the medicine cat of Afterclan." She then rechecked to make sure she got all the thorns and put the polstice on all the wounds.

[cinderdust]

"That must be so good....to have such a useful purpose to your clan..." Suddenwind sighed. "Thanks Rikka, I feel alot better now. You're a talented medicine cat!"

[~ Konkarite ~]

Rikka blushes under her fur. "Why thank you, Suddenwind. It means a lot to me." She smiled again, nodding. "Yup! Your good to go! Just be more careful and take it easy today. You had many thorns in her pelt. If you feel any pain or anything, just let me know, okay?" She wanted to make sure that she did a very good job taking care of the pain and stuff. Even if i cant even deal with my own. *sighs*

[cinderdust]

' Your welcome. I'll remember to tell, you, I'm not a kit!" As an afterthought Suddenwind added "You're acting strangely Rikka...is something wrong?" Suddenwind asked concerned for her fellow clan member.

[~ Konkarite ~]

Rikka quickly hid away her emotions with a smile. "Nope! Never better!" She tried to convince Suddenwind that nothing was wrong.

Azurestar padded across the camp, her blue pelt almost shimmering. She heard talking from the medicine cats den and padded over curious, she was still incertain about letting Rikka keep her name rather than a warrior one, but decided to leave the matter. She poked her head through the entrance. "Hey!" she purred casually as she walked into the den, sne noticed Suddenwind was there too. "Oh, hope it's nothing bad Suddenwind" she said, smiling.

[cinderdust]

" Are you trying to pull the wool over my eyes Rikka? A kit could see your smile is fake!" Hissed Suddenwind. 'It's none of my bussiness, but it's not healthy to keep all your emotions bottled inside of you!" Tone turning dark Suddenwind further backed up her claim "They have to come out some time. You don't want to end up evil and twisted like those Crimsonclan cats, do you?" Suddenwind screeched. And with that she stalked away from Rikka. She wasn't done with this, not by a long shot.

[~ Konkarite ~]

OOC: hmm . . . i dont think the clans are suppose to even know about Spiritclan and Crimsonclan yet but . . . *shrugs*

Rikkas ears lay flat on her head, and she somewhat scrunched down. She then looked over at Azurestar. "N-no! It wasnt too bad of a wound." she promises Again, she put up a smile to hide away her emotions. I made a promise to look after others! Others are more important then me! She tried to stay to her logic, and not let Suddenwind get to her. She could also tell that Suddenwind was far from over.

[Kiba]

Azurestar watched as Suddenwind stalked away, her tail twitching. She blinked then turned back to the medicine cat. "Um... Is something... Wrong Rikka?" still not completely used to the idea of being a leader and without the steadyness of one. She took a few paces closer and smiled at Rikka. Not entirely convinced by her smile. "If there is, feel free to talk with me. I know its usually the other way round but.." she smiled again and shrugged.

[~ Konkarite ~]

Rikka shook her head. "Nope. Nothing is wrong, Azurestar. Dont worry." She looked up at her leader, for Rikka was a very small kitty. She was the runt in her litter. "Theres nothing to talk about, do not worry." Again, she put out a smile.
