The brown tabby padded up into Snowpoppy's den and saw Lionblaze fretting over his daughter and Jayfeather demanding to know what Snowpoppy had done for treatment. Cheetahstep sighed.
"I'm fine. Calm down, the both of you. Its just a sprain. I will just have to wait a while to start walking on it again." Cheetahstep said. Runningwish chuckled and Cheetahstep looked at her with a bit of embarrassment.
"They can be protective." The golden she-cat said with a smile. Jayfeather growled.
"We have to be, especially now of all times. Firestar comes back and the Dark Forest is rising again, and now you end up in a state where you can't even walk on your own? Do you know how dangerous this is?" Jayfeather demanded. Lionblaze hushed his brother.
"Of course we will worry for you. We're family. And what Jayfeather said is true, if Thistleclaw striked now you wouldn't be able to defend yourself." Lionblaze said. Runningwish stepped in.
"Well if what is said about you is true, Lionblaze, you can't lose a fight so if you stayed with Cheetahstep she would be rather safe." The brown tabby said. Lionblaze sighed.
"I cannot lose a battle, sure, but that doesn't mean someone I am trying to protect is in the fight. She could still get hurt." The gold tom said back. Runningwish looked down at her paws. He was right about that.
After a few more arguements, Lionblaze and Jayfeather left Snowpoppy's den. Runningwish had left to fetch some food for Cheetahstep and the medicine cat.
She paused, lifting up two mice, when she saw Barkfur talking to Patchpaw. She felt uneasy watching them for some reason.
The tabby shook herself and headed back to the den.
