The sillouettes of four cats contrast against the bare ground as they paced around a heap of fur, motionless excluding the slight rise and fall of its flank.
What is the meaning of this? A silver and gray striped shadowclan cat stopped pacing and nosed the poor cat, eyes glistening with obvious concern. She picked her head up and stared into the eyes of each medicine cat individually before sighing heavily and sitting up, curling her tail around her paws.
An orange tabby cat, a few tail-lengths away from the others, countinued plodding, on foot in front of the other, but answered weakly, This has never happened before. There is no cure.
But we can find one, GingerFur! a rather small white windclan cat hissed towards the opposing she-cat, lashing her tail angerly, We are medicine cats! We cannot just give up! This disease will kill us all if we dont find a cure!
The rather large cat laying in the middle realsed a cough. Its body spasmed wildly, while at the same time releasting a broken yowl of pain from its twisted maw. The four medicine cats huddled around him, ears plastered against their heads, each one in their own deep thought.
Finally, the one cat that hadnt spoken at all yet, mewed, It isnt contageious, it would spread a lot faster if it was, we'd all be in Starclan...
StarClan![/i] The three opposing cats spat, and Tallpoppy, the white windclan cat, mewed in a hushed RaggedFang-she-cat tortie ice, who are you to believe in starclan? They left us many moons ago, if they were watching over us, they would have sent a cure! A spark of hope! None of us have recieved any sort of omnious sigh in many many moons! Starclan has abandoned us, RainWhisper, and theres nothing we can do about it... Rainwhisper, a sleek brown black and white medicine cat, let his head drop and shuffled his paws.
With a final yowl, the huddled mass of black fur on the ground was dead. Its body was literally motionless, and the four medicine cats ignored the sudden gust of wind that upset their fur as they dug a deep hole and burried the cat, muttering inaudible words to themselves as they did so.
They sat and said a few words about the noble warrior, but before filling up the hole with its first pawful of dirt, Gingerfur yowled, STOP!, and the cats turned their heads to face her. This is the first of many deaths, and, despite our clans disputes, we must stick together and stop this before it gets worse...agreed?
Each cat, in turn, mewed and nodded enthusiastically, excluding Rainwhisper, the riverclan tom. Rainwhisper.. The silver and gray shadowclan she-cat, DawnCloud thingyed her head his way, and flashed him a warning glare, what would they do if he refused to get along with the others?
Whatever. Rainwhisper muttered carelessly, and, without a second thought, covered up the hole, sealing away the first death of a disease that would soon alter the lives of all clan cats to come.
