Medicine Cat Apprentice of Riverclan
“Let me go with her.”
Cherrypaw turned to see Edge leaning on the entrance of the medicine cat den, his dark green gaze watching Darkstar and his family as they were surrounding Cherrypaw and Leapingpaw. It looked like Darkstar was about to object, as Cherrypaw had just woken up and the dark tone leader wanted his daughter to rest. But the small calico molly looked over at the black and gray Maine Coon before looking at her parents “I have to go to Skyclan, they need the help.” She said softly, looking at her parents with pleading eyes and a frown on her face. Darkstar and Sorrelember hesitated for a moment before agreeing to let her go. It was going to be a long night for Cherrypaw, and the molly knew that she was running on temporary energy from the traveling herbs.. It would only be a matter of time until Cherrypaw’s body gave up on her.
Slowly limping until the small calico was in front of Edge, Cherrypaw leaned on the large Maine Coon for support. As the two made their way out of the den and into the clearing, Cherrypaw heard a couple of gasps and a couple of mutters. The black and gray tom had looked over at Snowfeather, nodding to the white and gray molly. An understanding between two partners, as Edge knew that he wasn’t coming home tonight but helping his friend instead. The two Riverclan cats made their way out of the camp, and slowly into the territory.. The first stop? Skyclan. Cherrypaw had to go wake up the comatose cats, before Edge and herself would make the long journey to Windclan.
“O mask of flesh and bone, ye who bears the name of warrior. Truth and temperance, upon this sinless wall, unleash the wrath of your claws. Stun the mortal realm and open the crack between the abyss and life, draw out its vile power. Free thy mind, desire release. Be discharged from these binds!”
Cherrypaw watched in relief as she had chanted the prayer, slowly seeing a couple of the comatose cats starting to wake. Behind her, Edge was sitting with Firestar and his sister Auroraskies as the three were watching the young medicine cat apprentice perform the prayer. A familiar scent overcame her, and Cherrypaw looked over to see Sunowl press himself against her so she could lean on something. A weak smile appeared on her lips when looking at him, she wished that they had more time to catch up with each other.. How she can tell him everything that she saw, including his warrior ceremony.. But the calico had a duty to perform. It seemed like he understood as well, as the large ginger and white tom led her to Edge. After saying farewell to Firestar and his clan, the two cats had set out to Windclan.
However, things seemed to change as the sun was going up.. Because Cherrypaw was getting weaker, and was tripping over her paws. Edge noticed and kept asking if they needed to stop, but Cherrypaw refused. It wasn’t until moments later, Cherrypaw stumbled over, and collapsed onto the ground. Edge’s dark green eyes widened “Cherrypaw?!” He panicked, pressing his nose against her cheek in an attempt to wake her. His paw went to her side and began shaking her lightly “Come on Cherrypaw, we’re almost in Windclan territory.. You gotta get up.” He said, but she never responded, she was completely unresponsive. A string of curse words escaped Edge as he moved his head to her side, and carefully moved her into she rolled onto his back.
“Bunch of crazy females in this clan, I swear.” Edge muttered before seeing that Cherrypaw was secured on his back, as the last thing that he needed was to drop the small calico molly.. Darkstar would kill him.
The young Riverclan warrior began running, fast as his paws could take him. Soon Windclan’s scent hit his nostrils and Edge’s nose scrunched up for a moment before dashing into the Windclan border. A grumble escaped the black and gray Maine Coon as moments later, a couple of Windclan cats were chasing after him. “I need your medicine cat, Cherrypaw collapsed!” He called back towards them. The patrol leader, Blackfire, soon commanded something as it seemed like they began running with him instead of after him. What Edge didn’t know was that Wasppaw was already in Windclan camp, waiting for his companion. It seemed like he told Desertstar that Cherrypaw would be joining him, and the Windclan leader was awaiting for the Riverclan molly’s arrival.
“Come on, stay with me Cherrypaw.” Edge muttered to himself, as he slowed down slightly for Blackfire to take the lead. The Windclan patrol and Edgefrost had burst into the entrance of the camp, and a couple of cats had jumped at the sudden entrance of the cats.. But others looked relieved that Cherrypaw had finally arrived. The black and gray Maine Coon soon saw the calico form of Wasppaw and moved quickly towards him “She passed out when we got near the border, I don’t know what’s wrong.” Edge said, his voice anxious as he lowered himself so Wasppaw can look at Cherrypaw.

Edgefrost
Riverclan Warrior
The black and gray Maine Coon watched the male calico healer, hesitant to let Wasppaw touch Cherrypaw.. But Edge remembered that Wasppaw was a friend of Cherrypaw, and the Shadowclan tom wasn't a bad soul at all.. But a kind one. Slowly lowering himself, he watched as the male calico observed Cherrypaw before Wasppaw slowly rolled the red calico off Edge’s back and to the ground. “Is she gonna be okay?” Edge asked quietly, his dark green gaze looked over at the crowd of cats that were starting to surround them. His dark and grey fur was slightly standing up, not sure how to react to the feeling of everyone’s eyes on them. The black and gray Maine Coon had to force himself to relax, as now wasn’t the time to have a negative reaction in another clan’s camp. As the male calico left the pair to get some herbs, Edge looked over and saw the familiar face of Desertstar and hesitated for a moment. He knew that the bengal leader was his brother Sleekfeather’s sister, better yet.. He knew the feelings that his brother had. Looking at Wasppaw when he returned, Edge nodded as he lifted Cherrypaw’s head slightly to let the Shadowclan healer put herbs into her mouth. Lowering her head, Edge frowned for a moment when Startledcrow approached them and leaned down at Cherrypaw to sniff her. The former medicine cat called for Quiethawk and the larger healer arrived and began to reach for the red calico. Edge released a low growl but Startledcrow soon gave the Riverclan warrior a warning glance before the two Windclan toms moved Cherrypaw to their den. Edge released a small sigh and shook his head, looking at Wasppaw and listened to him closely “I’ll bring Rainysky and Darkstar in the morning to check up on her.” He said, as Edge intended to stay within Windclan for the night so that Cherrypaw wouldn’t wake up confused on how she passed out. “I’ll send someone to speak to you when she wakes up.” Edge said, as he looked over and saw the worried expression of Wasppaw when Cherrypaw was carried away. But within time, Cherrypaw would return to normal. Looking towards the Windclan warriors, he released a sigh and shook his head “I should head towards the Riverclan border and find a patrol to let them know.” Edge said, before going to Desertstar and explaining where he had to go. The two had a quiet conversation before Edge nodded and bid her a farewell and flicked his tail for Wasppaw to join him. Once the two toms were out of camp, Edge and Wasppaw padded towards the Shadowclan border. Watching Wasppaw stepped over to his side of the border, Edge was silent for a moment before clearing his throat “I just wanted to say… Thanks.” Edge said, looking down as he wasn’t one to really express gratitude towards strangers. In fact, he most likely would just make a smart ass remark and leave.. But Wasppaw did help his friend Cherrypaw “You should get back to your camp, family must be worried.” The black and gray Maine Coon muttered before turning around, and waved his tail in farewell before taking off towards the direction of the Riverclan border.
