Skystripes and Sparrowfeather were finally at the Lightclan camp. Her pelt was plastered to her body by the rain back in the meadow. But it had stopped, it seems, as soon as they crossed the Lightclan border. Their territory was unknown to her and Sparrowfeather. But they had found the camp. They were still carrying Orchidleaf. She hadn't said a word sense she got attacked. Her eyes had stopped bleeding and the swelling had got down thanks to the nettles. But her breathing was still shallow. Skystripes placed her in the middle of Lightclan camp clearing.
"Hello?" Skystripes called, "Anycat here? We have Orchidleaf, but shes hurt." She stopped talking the camp seemed quite. She glanced around the clearing. For the first time she noticed how bright and warm the clearing was. She let the sun soak into her striped pelt. Is It always this warm here? She thought, well I guess thats why they call it Lightclan. But I still prefer the dark caves of Stoneclan. Skystripes let out a purr.

Pearlflower heard someone call out. She blinked sleep from her eyes and stumbled out of her den. The senct of StoneClan and ShadowClan drifted to her nose, snapping her awake. She stumbled into the Suntouched Clearing, and saw Skystripes and Sparrowfeather, medicine cats of StoneClan and ShadowClan. Then she saw Orchidleaf. Her eyes were half closed, but a trickle of blood ran down from one, and the other was gone.
"What happened!" she cried. She saw Orchidleaf breath, shallow but alive. "I'm Pearlflower by the way, the deputy. Thank you for bringing her back. Will she be all right?" she mewed. Please StarClan, Oblivion, anyone! Let her live!

Orchidleaf stirred a bit, feeling returning to her limbs. She let out a small moan and rolled over. She heard whispering beside her, and pricked her ears a bit. She felt her strength return and she fluttered her eyes open. Or, to her dismay, eye. Orchidleaf swore her eyes were open, but she could see nothing. Nothing but darkness. "Am I dead?!" She whispered hoarsly. She felt as if her smelling and hearing had increased.
She managed to struggle onto her haunches. Her face throbbed a bit, but she felt nothing on one side. Her eye was gone. Orchidleaf couldn't imagine how hideous she must look, but she didn't dare say a word. "How bad do I look?" She meowed sheepishly, shuffling her paws.

Skystripes looked up as she saw the Lightclan Deputy come out of her den. "Yeah she'll be fine," Skystripes meowed, "All she needs is some good sleep. But she will never see again, I'm sorry." She looked toward Sparrowfeather, who was still sitting next to Orchidleaf, for a comforting nod. But her friend still seemed shocked at what she had witnessed. Skystripes looked back at the deputy, "Where would you like us to place her? In her den?" She asked.
The out of the corner of her eye she saw that Orchidleaf was waking up. Skystripes let out a small purr when Orchidleaf had asked if she was dead. "No your still alive." Skystripes looked over the now-blind she-cat, "Umm.....you look great for what you went through. You lost one eye, and the other one was pincered. The bleeding has stopped. Right know you have healing herbs in you eye and eye socket. Sparrowfeather and I didn't want to give you poppy seeds until you came round."

Pearlflower breathed a sigh of releaf. "Yes I think her den should be fine, she knows it best, and can treat her eyes if they hurt." she mewed thoughtfuly. She barly spoke the words as she saw Orchidleaf stir, and croak out some whispered words, which Pearlflower distinguished as "Am I dead?" Skystripes answered no, and Orchidleaf struggled to sit up.
"Oh Orchidleaf, I'm so sorry." Pearlflower murmered. Orchidleaf looked fine, a side from her crushed eye. Suddenly she thought of Silverstar. "I better go get Silverstar. Thanks again for bringing Orchidleaf home." she mewed breathlessly as she dashed away.

Silverstar could hear voices and pawsteps from inside of her den. Her silvery ears lifted up in alarm. The LightClan leader sniffed, eager to find out who exactly was inside of her camp. She hadn't seen Orchidleaf yet this morning, and as the sun rose above the trees, Silverstar tried to smile that the days continued. Silverstar bounded out of her den, her brilliant green eyes gleaming in fury. She lifted her nose, eager to see who was invading her camp. She scented StoneClan as well as Orchidleaf and Pearlflower. "What? My goodness," she mewed. As she looked down at her medicine cat, Silverstar tried her hardest to keep her calm. "Who did this? And what are you doing in my camp," the leader demanded, eyes blazing now. She was a kind and gentle leader. As long as you didn't hurt her Clan.
She sat down, anger pulsing through her body. I swear by Oblivion if ANYthing hurt my Orchidleaf, I will personally kill them, she told herself as she looked at both Pearlflower and the StoneClan cat. "Why didn't you come and get me," she asked her deputy. If she's betrayed me..... I won't forgive her. The leader wasn't exactly rational right now, but she was able to make slight decisions and she glared at all cats but Orchidleaf, her eyes holding different emotions for her. Worry and sadness.
((EDIT: dont forget about in the clearing and in your dens as well!))

Skystripes watched as Silverstar bounded from here den. The Lightclan leader was distrought. Skystripes was getting mad. She didn't like the leaders accusing tone. But Skystipes knew that this wasn't her clan, and so she stayed calm. " I am here with my friend," she flicked her tail toward Sparrowfeather who looked stilled shocked, "Sparrowfeather, MC of Shadowclan, to bring your MC back to camp." Skystripes could feel the red hot angey boiling in herself. But she still was calm, "We were all out in the meadow getting catmint and then it started down pouring. Sense I like the rain I went to hunt for the others. Orchidleaf caught her own prey. While I was out hunting I came across a baby deer. The other MC helped me bring the baby back to the two-ley nest, where we were waiting out the storm. Orchidleaf was watching the baby when......." Skystripe's voice trailed off," Orchidleaf looked out across the meadow and saw a adult deer. It attacked her. It wanted the baby. Sparrowfeather and I tried to stop it but........." Skystripes couldn't finish.

((I won't! And btw, am I allowed to post in the warriors den like I'm visiting and such?)) Orchidleaf had her head down once she smelled Silverstar approach. Don't look up! She'll probably think I'm some mangy rat that got beaten by twolegs! She hissed to herself. She perked her ears, hearing the distress in her leader's voice. She felt a lump grow in her throat. I bet I'm the worst medicine cat ever!
Orchidleaf drooped her ears, though she was still listening. She heard Skystripes stop and started to twitch her ear. Then she realized that the blue she-cat had stopped talking. Orchidleaf was about to finish the sentence but held her tongue. "But it mauled me and made me look half dead." She murmered, her sighless eyes stil on the ground. She twitched her whiskers, and lifted her head, prepared to hear her screech or something. She quickly dropped her head again, afraid what her leader would think of her now. I'm such a loser!

Sparrowfeather looked down at her black and white friend. her eyes were filled with sorrow. Sparrowfeather bent down to her medicine cat friend. "Don't worry Orchidleaf, I'll come back every day until your better if I have to." Sparrowfeather mewed. She padded up to The silver leader. "Me and skystripes are very sorry we had to intrude on your camp Silverstar. If we hadn't been there Orchidleaf would be gone!" Sparrowfeather mewed.
"We had rescued a baby deer and we brought it to the shelter to see if it was ok then then the father came along and mualed poor Orchidleaf. We checked her over to see if she would be ok and yes she will but she's definitley blind. She'lll never see again. Once again were're very very sorry to intrude on your clan! I want to have your permission first but can we check on Orchidleaf every day for a while to see if she's ok?" Sparrowfeather meowed her voice filled with sorrow.
((sorry its short!! I'm going swimming and my e mail is screwed up! I didnt get a chance to read anything. so sorry if I repeated anything.))

Pearlflower flinched at the sound of Silverstar's anger. "I'm so sorry Silverstar. I... I had to make sure Orchidleaf was O.K. I know I should have gotten you first, but I just woke up and was a bit sleepy and-" she broke off, realizing how feeble her protest were. Sorry Catches No Prey. she told herself angrily. "I really am sorry." she mewed softly, eyes downcast.
She glanced at Orchidleaf, who looked as frightened by this glimpse of uncharacteristic anger that Silverstar showed as she did. Skystripes' fur was bristling ever so slightly, and Sparrowfeather was pawing the ground. She tore her gaze back to Silverstar, whose anger was dimming and showing a new feeling: Worry
