Whitepaw was hunting in the wet forest. It had rained last night and all the trees and ferns were covered in rain droplets. Shadepelt was padding beside her looking for prey. They stopped at a huge tree to sniff the roots when she heard a loud groaning coming from the tree."Whitepaw look out!"But the tree came up from the ground and fell on Whitepaw with a sickening thud.

Whitepaw felt a paw pulling her tail, a voice saying"Hang on Whitepaw we'll get you out."Shadepelt said panic edging his mew. Whitepaw felt panic prick her pelt and pain in her hips and shoulders.  Soon Whitepaw was out from under the tree, Shadepelt rushed to her side and let her lean against him.

Standing beside her was Treestar a worried look in his eyes, his tabby fur sticking up on end, but relief edged his amber eyes and the clan medicine cat Flowerleafa light brown tabby she-cat with green eyes. Sandfire was there too, sitting next to Treestar her orange pelt glowing in the sunlight, looking sad and relieved at the same time."Thank Starclan your safe!"Shadepelt said and lead her all the way to camp.

A few days after she had been in the medicine cat den, Whitepaw shook out her white fur and padded into the clearing, the sun warming up her pelt from her ears to her black-tipped tail. Just then Shadepelt slid out of the warrior den, and when he saw Whitepaw standing there his eyes lit up with joy and he leaped over to her rubbing his muzzle along her cheek, his black pelt mingling with her white one. He had come to the medicine cat den to see her every day bringing her pray to share and sometimes watching over her as she slept.

"Are you ok? Can you get back to training?"He asked eagerly his yellow eyes filled with joy, Whitepaw smiled and said, "Flowerleaf said I could go back tomorrow."Shadepelt purred then licked the top of her head, then ran off to join the border patrol, leaving Whitepaw standing outside the medicine cat den her heart aflutter. 

Treestar padded over to her and said, "He'll be a good mate."Whitepaw felt hot under her pelt and looked down at the ground. "I'm glad that your up and out." Treestar mewed his tabby tail running down her flank, the father and daughter had grown close since Whitepaw had been in the medicine cat den. Treestar would tell her stories about his youth and what she was missing outside of the den.

Then Sandfire stalked over to her family, rubbing her muzzle on Treestars shoulder, he licked her ear. But when she saw Whitepaw standing there her blue eyes narrowed. "What are you doing out here?"Whitepaw's ears flipped to the back of her head as she listened to her mother, Sandfire had rarely visited her when she was injured. "Get back in the den so you can heal."Whitefeather just nodded and slid back into the medicine cat den.

Two sunrises later leaped out of her nest and over to Dasyfoot, who was giving her chest a final lick. "I can start my warrior training again!"Whitepaw mewed happily, Dasyfoot looked up happily."Good, let's go."She purred, then lead her into the forest for battle practice.
