Smallfeather skidded to a halt beside the lake. He put down his herbs and said to Darkness, "You can swim right?"
Darkness nodded, "My father taught me how."
Smallfeather grinned "perfect. Scorchpaw show us the way." he picked up his herbs.

Smallfeather followed Scorchpaw. He kept an eye on Darkness just in case.

Scorchpaw ran into the clearing and over to Quantummystery. "The Tornadoclan medicine cat is here, don't worry, he'll heal Sorrowkt."

Smallfeather followed Scorchpaw, not bothering to shake his fur. Darkness did though. She didn't care who was dying she didn't like being wet. Smallfeather entered the camp and went over to Quantummystery and gently nudged her away from the kit so he could take a look.
Quantummystery backed away reluctantly, "Can you help her?"
Smallfeather didn't look up. Instead he looked through the herbs he had and said, "She has Greencough. I need every cat away from here now" he picked up an herb and chewed it up then he made Sorrowkit swallow the pulp by massaging her throat. "Some one get me catnip!"
Quantummystery's eyes widened, "greencough! NO!"
Darkness butted her shoulder, "You heard Smallfeather, get away from here before you catch it too!" She herded her back to the nursery. "Stay in there, Smallfeather's a really good medicine cat, let him do his job."

Scorchpaw ran into the medicine den and grabbed a mouthful of different herbs, not knowing which was catnip.
OOC: are they going to stay a while or tell someone what to do and leave?

Smallfeather sniffed the herbs and found a catnip leaf. "Here, smell this." he told Scorchpaw. "Catnip has a very distinct smell, you can't forget it. Ge get more of it."
He looked back at Sorrowkit. The kit seemed strong but he didn't know if she would survive. Kits often didn't.
Quantummystery went back into the nursery. Owlkit still lay in the nest where she had left him. She licked his head and froze, he felt just as hot as Sorrowkit had and he wasn't moving. She didn't know what to do. Her mind was frozen with fear adn she couldn't think straigght. She yowled.

Scorchpaw got some more catnip and ran back to Smallfeather before hearing the yowl. He ran into the nursery, "What's wrong?"

Smallfeather took the catnip and made a poultice with other herbs he had and forced it down Sorrowkit's throat.
Quantummystery looked around, "It's owlkit." She said.

Smallfeather sighed, "Great. darkness keep an eye on Sorrowkit. If her condition changes come get me. Scorchpaw you come with me." He padded toward the nursery and went in. Once again he had to force the queen away from her kit. He sniffed Owlkit. This kit was much worse off. He could hardly hear the kit's breathing and the kit wouldn't move no matter how much he nudged him. The kit didn't even have enough energy to cough. This was the part Smallfeather hated about being a medicine cat. He looked up at Quantummystery and said, "I'm sorry, he's too far gone, there's nothing I can do for him."
Quantummystery stared at the Tornadowclan Healer sadness keeping her from thinkning clearly. She unsheathed her claws and leaped at him, tearing at his sides and biting his shoulders.
Smallfeather tried to get away from the queen but the nursery was too cramp. Not wanting to hurt her he tried to push her away. He could feel hot blood dripping down his sides already.

Scorchpaw pushed Quantummystery away, "Stop or Sorrowkit will die as well."

Quantummystery struggled but Scorchpaw's words broke though to her. She stood still for a few heart beats looking at Smallfeather and Scorchpaw with sorrowfilled eyes. Her gaze rested on Owlkit and then she lowered it. She left the den and collapsed on the ground.
Smallfeather's heart went out to Quantumystery. He couldn't even imagine the pain she was feeling. He looked over his wounds, one of them was long and slightly deep but it would be fine. He went over to Owlkit and sniffed the kit again. He was gone.

Quantummystery didn't look up or even move she looked forward. Her eyes glazed over.
Smallfeather left the den and went back to Sorrowkit. "Any change?" he asked darkness.
She shook her head.
