Ivypaw decided not to talk to Dawngaze about it yet.

"Why don't you sleep in the Medicine den with Daisyfoot?" Ivypaw asked.

"Yeah!" The kits jumped around.

Ivypaw flicked her tail for the kits to follow her. Three deaths in only one moon... more than they have had then the last two Leaf-bare's all together. It was weird. Very wierd. Ivypaw trotted across the clearing and into the medicine den. She came back out with no kits, only herself.  She looked at Dawngaze warily then headed toward the Oak tree. She layed on a piece of moss just inside the den, near the oak tree's entrance. Ivypaw always looked tired because she always did stuff all around the Clan. Taking care of the elders, healing, learning with Daisyfoot, and taking care of her littermates since Honeydusk was sick. Daisyfoot was already sick with greencough, slowly getting worser every moon.  

Honeydusk was waking up and stretched once she got up. She looked at Pebblekit, Brindlekit and Boulderkit sleeping near their sister, Ivypaw, who was curled around them, keeping her littermates warm near the Medicine cat den. Honeydusk laid back down, knowing that Ivypaw would have to check her first if she wanted to go hunting. Honeydusk could wait for moons and many more just to go hunting. Ivypaw needed rest, and she knew that. Ivypaw's eyes fluttered open and she yawned, getting up and stretching. Ivypaw walked to the entrance, noticing that Dawngaze was creeping out of camp to go hunt. At least she thought. Ivypaw padded back in and walked toward Honeydusk.

"How are you feeling, Honeydusk?" Ivypaw asked.

"I feel good. I can look after Pebblekit, Brindlekit and Boulderkit if you want to go check on Jaggedpaw, Daiyfoot and the Clan." Honeydusk suggested.

Ivypaw dipped her head in thanks and padded toward Jaggedpaw who was still sleeping. Pebblekit, Boulderkit and Brindlekit had stirred from their moss nests and padded toward their mother. Honeydusk was still sad after the loss of Hareleap, Honeydusk's mate. Honeydusk blinked and saw that Ivypaw was walking out of the area and Honeydusk looked back toward Jaggedpaw. Jaggedpaw had 3 juniper berries and at least 2 poppy seeds right by his side. It looked like he was still sleeping and then he finally stirred, his clear blue gaze resting on the herbs on the side of him. He took the juniper berries and ate them, then waited a little while and started on the poppy seeds. The poppy seeds were supposed to help the pain, Honeydusk accepted that Jaggedpaw had a bellyache, the Juniper helping it. Jaggedpaw was now sleeping again and Honeydusk rested her head on her paws. The three kits were already asleep. 

Ivypaw walked out of the camp, looking back a few tail-lengths away from the camp to make sure no one was following her. She caught onto the scent trail of Dawngaze but then lost it when the she-cat had made two circles. Ivypaw sighed and headed to the camp entrance.
