Emberblaze stuck her nose into the apprentice's den. No Lilypaw. "Oh where could she be!" Emberblaze needed her soon for the sun-high patrol and she was nowhere to be found. "Emberblaze? Who are you looking for?" It was Riverstream, the deputy. "Lilypaw. I need her for the patrol, but she's not here!" Emberblaze felt despare wash over her. "I told her to be here and eat before sun-high, so she knows." "It's okay, Emberblaze. Go on the patrol and we'll look out for her at camp. I'll inform the rest of the patrol member to keep an eye out for her." Riverstream stayed calm, helping Emberblaze to cool off a little. "Thanks, Riverstream." She walked off to the fresh-kill pile, helping herself to a mouse. 'I wonder what Duskstripe is doing?' She thought, biting into the mouse. Then a yowl aroused her from her thoughts. "Quick! Get a medicine cat! Lilypaw's hurt!" Emberblaze rushed to the scene. There was her dear apprentice, laying on the ground, scars across her thigh and face. Gingertail, the one of AspenClan's two medicine cats, came walking briskly with herbs in his mouth. Riverstream beside him, swishing his tail in worry. "What happened?" Gingertail demanded, looking over all of her wounds. Lilypaw yowled in pain as the medicine cat dabbed some moss on her bleeding neck. "Someone attacked her, we don't know who," one of the warriors answered. "Maybe she'll tell us when she's better." "Please, clear away so I have more room!" The medicine cat was brushing the warriors off with her tail. Emberblazes ears drooped. "Emberblaze, can you help me please?" She perked up and Gingertails words. "What do you need?" "I need you to hold this while I get some cobwebs. I did not think the bleeding would be this bad." Emberblaze held the ball of moss on to Lilypaw's neck. She moaned in pain. "Hey, Lilypaw, I want you to be brave right now okay? I didn't train you to be going back to the nursery with the kits." Lilypaw laughed a little, but stopped from the pain in her chest. "What happened?" "I was-" but Lilypaw was stopped by Gingertail, who pressed some cobwebs soaked in dock juice oon her wounds. "I'll come see you in the morning," Emberblaze told her, turning to go rest for the day.
