Dragging herself back home (Anyone!)

[Nightfur and Co.]

Ginger 's mangled body hurt everywhere; her heart ached, her broken leg throbbed, her side burned. Blood followed her as she stumbled down the path on three legs, her broken tail dragging. No one would believe her if she told them that someone she loved, someone she thought was her brother, did this to her.

Rogue.

She had thought he wouldn't do it, she had thought he would come back with her. But she just sat there, helpless, letting him attack her. First her leg, then her side, then her tail. But lastly, he broke her heart.

The snow blew at her face, stung at her wounds. But she couldn't feel any of it. All she wanted was to get back home. When she came to a fence, not caring if it was hers, she dropped to the ground, being careful of her leg. All she wanted was to die....she closed her eyes....

She was walking through the forest, collar gone and body healed. It was calm and peaceful, the sun shining down through the leaves. This place was nice. She wanted to stay here.

She heard a rustle, and turned. There was her mother, Dot, in all her sleek, beuatiful glory. "Mom!" she cried, and raced towards her. They nuzzled, Ginger breathing in her sweet scent. "I've missed you, Mom," she whispered.

"I know," purred Dot. "I missed all of you, so much. How is your father?"

"He's good. Simba is, too."

Dot looked at her, concerned. "What about Rogue?" Ginger looked down.

"He sent me here. He broke my leg, hurt my side, broke my tail. He wanted me dead, and he got his wish."

Dot shook her head. "You're not dead, sweetheart," she meowed after a time.

Ginger looked up with wide eyes, shocked. "I'm not?"

"No. I'm in StarClan now, Ginger. They say it isn't your time, and sent me to meet you half way. You have to help Rogue, whatever you do." Dot sighed. "I shouldn't have left you."

"You did the best you could, Mom!" insisted Ginger. "Lunar was your daughter, you loved her. We all did." She licked her one last time, and noticed her fading away. "Mom, what's happening?" she gasped.

"I have to go. Remember, help Rogue!" The ginger she-cat turned and ran, fading away completely. Ginger felt tears prick her eyes.

"No, Mom...."

"Mom!" cried out Ginger.

[daggerheart]

Starfeather was wandering, when she heared pitiful mewleng.
Starfeather raced to the little she-cat. "Are you okay"
she mewed nosing the little cat gently.

[brindleface]

Brindlefur dragged the cat into her garden, and laying her under the thickest and the most covered bush, with warm moss, she getly licked the she-cat in pain, and licked the blood that trickled down her side, "It's okay I'm here, I'll take care of you" she whispered, and gave out a sooting purr, as she left, to get the poppyseeds, and the cobwebs, she trotted back with her jaws full of herbs, she wrapped the cobwebs on her side, and her leg, she had noticed that the leg was not broken but out of the joint, and twisted, she had to do something, she licked the leg gently and put her paws, and snapped the bone back into place, but it would still hurt, the pain would never end until the she-cat took the poppyseeds. Brindlefur put the poppyseeds in the cats mouth and waited until she swallowed.

[Thorn & Co. (Night)]

Half-concious, Ginger let this cat do these things to her, partially knowing that she was alright with her. She groaned, but swallowed the poppy seeds. They numbed the pain, but she didn't fall asleep. She was too hyped up now. "Momma..." she whimpered, and she tried to get up.

[brindleface]

"It's okay, I'm here" Brindlefur was use to being called momma cat, but she never really knew this cat, she licked the cat gently on the face to clean the splattered, and matted blood and fur tide together, "M here" she purred, as she gave ginger a soothing warm bath, like the mother she was, she was use to taking care of cats, and kits and after having her own, she decided to take care of cats that are hurt, and need help. Brindlefur purred as soft but soothing as possible, she mewed simple words, and made sure the wounds on ginger would not open again. Brindlefur was no medicine cat but her mother was one, and had taught her to do many things. Brindlefur saw starfeather and only stared and flicked her tail side to side, and pointed her, muzzle to the catmint. Brindlecur saw the broken tip of ginger's tail but she didn't know how to cure something actually broken, but she was able to find that the tail was only fractured, and would heal if she didn't mess with it.

[Thorn & Co. (Night)]

Ginger blinked away the dark void that threatened to swallow her whole. No, she wouldn't fall asleep! She couldn't! She needed to tell Dad and Simba what Rogue had done!

Rogue!

Suddenly Ginger jumped up and looked around wildly, falling back down as her legs gave out. "Where's Rogue?" she growled, feeling the bloodlust fill her again and her claws jump out. "I want to kill that low piece of fox dung!"

[brindleface]

"Calm down sweetie, you aien't going back in the snow, and with a hurt leg, a fractured tail, and scratches all over your bodie, Fox-dung your not fighting any battles now, for starclans sake, your staying here with me, and I'll get that nasty peice of Crow-food when you get better, but for now, I'm going to get you some fresh-kill, and let you rest" she purred and got up, to shake little bits of moss from her pelt. Brindlefur put more warm moss over the body, and then brindlefur's nesting blanket her twolegs gave her, she covered ginger up, and headed toward the thick bushes at the far side of the garden.

Brindlefur crouched down, and pounced on the two mice cuddled up, and killed them with two paws, she proudly carried her prey, to ginger and set the fatest mouse on her paws.

[Thorn & Co. (Night)]

Reason made it through to Ginger's clouded brain and she laid her head down, not touching the mouse. She didn't feel like eating. She closed her eyes, murmuring, "Find Simba....please?"

[brindleface]

"Baby, eat your mouse to gain your strength, and i'll find simba, just keep warm" she purred and licked her ears.

(where do I find simba?)

[Thorn & Co. (Night)]

((Pm Longwhisker to get a thread going, he RPs him. Simba's her brother.))

Ginger managed to nibble at the food, but it tasted weird. DIfferent. It was still warm from being so recently killed, but she couldn't think of where it had come from or how it had gotten to her. She pushed it away and turned her back on it, curling up in the blanket. It was so cozy....

She was back in that forest again, back to where her Mom had met her. Frantically she looked, but Dot was nowhere to be found. She ran and ran, hoping to find somebody, but no one was there.

Then she saw her. Lunar. But this time, she was wary; she wanted this one to last longer than her Mom had. Lunar walked up to her and smiled.

"Long time no see, sis," she mewed. Ginger couldn't help it; she pounced at her and licked her all over.

"Oh, Lunar, I've missed you so much!" cried Ginger. "And so have Dad and Simba and Rogue--"

Lunar put her tail over her mouth. "Hush. I know what happened, no need to tell me."

"Are you in StarClan too?" asked Ginger. Lunar nodded. "Then why's Rogue like this?"

"It's his choice," Lunar answered sadly. "Just keep an eye on him, alright? Get him back home."

"I will."

Ginger purred. "Lunar..." she whispered.

[brindleface]

brindlfur smiled as ginger slept lightly in a unconisous world, brindlefur walked to the twolegs door, "Mew, Meow, meow" she meowed as loud as she could, and the twoleg opened it and let her in. Brindlefur grabbed her otgher blanket, and walked outside and lay beside ginger.

[Patches]

" Brindlefur" patches meowed, jumping lightly over the fence to see her currled up with ginger, his next door neighbor, he never really met her but he wanted to see brindlefur.

[silverfur1]

Cream

A cream colored she cat jumped over the fence and walked over to the small ginger colored she cat. "Oh poor dear her brother left her just like that. She probably won't forget that" Cream said. Cream had been taken from the forest when she was an apprentice so she knew what it was like.

[Sky & Eagle]

Ebony watched the cats from the roof of the twoleg house. He saw Ginger lying next to Brindlefur and felt a pang of sympathy. The poor cat was torn up and didn't seem to notice. Taking advantage of the quiet he leapt lightly down onto the fence and then to the earth. When Brindlefur didn't notice him he padded forward and nudged her with his muzzle.

[Meerful]

Whiskerpaw-

Whiskerpaw ran along the Thudnerclan terra, racing to catch a vole that was trying to outrun her. We'll see if that happens! she growled to herself, each paw pounding to the ground and with each stride she got closer....closer... No! The vole ran down a burrow. Whiskerpaw pawed at it then growled. "Darn it!" She growled. She got up and disappointedly turned around. Suddenly she caught a scent. "Cats?" She mewed, running towards the scent and coming upon a group of cats. "
"Mind if I join the party?" She mewed. Confronting the cats.

[brindleface]

"Whiskerpaw where have you been, today was our training lesson" she scolded her eldest kit, "I'm disapointed in you" she growled, and then grabbed her tightly by the scruff and pulled her closer to her and groomed her daughters ruffled fur, "YOu move and aruge I'll make sure your fur will cleng to your sides" she threatened and then started licking her. "Yes?" brindlefur looked up to see patches and another tom looking at her.

[Meerful]

Whiskerpaw Sighed angrily. "I was with Arrowpaw helping him take care of the elders!" She growled, struggloing to get out of her grasp. "I thikn there aremore important things at hand here you know!" She mewed angrily.

[brindleface]

"Hey it isn't my fault your going to have other siblings, just be careful toms are stupid, and you could end up in trouble just like feathertail did, with her last mate" she meowed looking into whiskerpaw's grey eyes, "I believe that you like arrowpaw don't you?" she meowed coaking her head in a angry, but questioning tilt. "I don't want you to get hurt, and besides, I'm going back to Thunderclan, I just need to stay here with patches until I know I'm ready to leave, and go back home, this was the place you grew up in, this is our home, but you could never really remember that blackthorn helped take care of you, this is where you have history, stop acting like your already a warrior you have 4 moons ahead of you before oyu can run out of my sight for good" she teased and licked whiskerpaw on the forehead.

[Meerful]

Whiskerpaw growled. "Why do you care what I do? I can take care of myself!" She squirmd ou of her grasp and trotted off by the other cats.

[brindleface]

" she's just like oyu Patches, stubborn and aroagant, at least moon came out like, either that I would be pulling out my fur by now" she meowed licked ginger on the ear, and purring her back to sleep. "I have to take care of this one, she has been literally torn up by some rogue of a brother" she growled.

[Meerful]

Whiskerpaw growled angrily. "Leave me alone! I can run my own life and do my own thing. No one wants to kill me, and if they try I'll do what any reasonable cat would do ; KILL THEM FIRST!" Whiskerpaw flexed her claws before leaping out oof reaching distance fom her mom.

[Nightfur and Co.]

Ginger had glanced up at the yelling; her head throbbed and her leg and tail ached. "Huhwha?" She looked around, then laid her head back down. ALl she wanted was sleep....

[Sky & Eagle]

Ebony watched the apprentice argue with her mother. Before they could fight he asked, "Is she going to be okay?" motioning towards Ginger. She was sleeping peacefully but from the closer distance he could see the extent of her injuries.

[brindleface]

"Of course I am taking care of her, and I have already given her herbs" brindlefur meowed, then brindlefur walked closer to her daughter, "You bring more anger into your life, every second you fight with me" she growled, "I have no power over you but your lack of seeing, and lack of reason, is going to get you fur clawed out, by the wrong kinda cats" she growled turnign away from her daughter and staring at ebony, he was okay looking, she smiled, "What can I do for you?" she meowed, licking a paw, and staring back at ebony.

[Meerful]

Whiskerpaw shrugged. "I'm a teenage heart throb, what do you expect?" She mewed, flicking her tail back in forth in boredom.

[Sky & Eagle]

"I was wondering if I could be of some assistance." He stepped to the other side of Ginger and carefully brushed her injured shoulder with his tail.

[brindleface]

" what ever you would like to help" she purred and looked at her daughter, "you are just 61/2 moons old missy don't try to hide your age from your mother, I know when I gave birth to you" she meowed and patted her daughters ear lightly. "Ebony, I would love for you to help me" she meowed and looked at him aberving his features, of nice strong cheekbones, and a very fit body, "You look quit well to be a kitty-pet" she meowed looking at him again, and got up to meet his gaze.

[Meerful]

Whiskerpaw sighed. "Teenage Heart Throb"

[Sky & Eagle]

"Yeah well my twolegs let me run around most of the time as long as I'm back before night. It's kinda like living by myself but I have this stupid collar." Ebony dipped his head at Brindlefur's compliments.

[Meerful]

Whiskerpaw laughed. "You'd see me die befor you'd see me in that" She mwed.
