When she re-opened her eyes, she was in the medicine cat den. She sighed in relief, and stood up. Her paw was better, but she had got a cough, so Sparrowleaf had told her to stay in the medicine cat den overnight.
"Sparrowleaf, can I go now?"
Sparrowleaf looked over to her.
"Sure Dreamriver. It doesn't seem to be WhiteCough, yet. But just come back everyday for some tansy, and maybe feverfew. We don't need it to get worse"
Dreamriver nodded a thanks, and padded out of the medicine cat's den. She yawned, and stretched her legs. Rainblossom had given birth to two she-cats, and was watching her two new kits, Tigerkit and Frostkit. Dreamriver smiled. Maybe I'll have kits of my own someday. This thought brightened her mind, because after Hawkclaw attacked Dreamriver, Dreamriver and Cloudriver had become mates. It was the best thing that had happened to her.
She padded into the forest to look for Cloudriver. She padded along, feeling secure. Then, she heard a few voices. She narrowed her eyes, and thought about climbing a tree, but LakeClan cats were not built for tree climbing. She crept through the undergrowth, when the scent hit her. SandClan. The scent was overpowering, like the whole clan was there! Dreamriver backed away slowly, before racing back to camp to warn Miststar.
She burst into the camp, panting hard.
"Miststar!!! Patrol... intruders... Attacking... S-sandClan!"
Miststar's eyes widened, but before she could take any action, SandClan burst into the camp. Rainblossom shrieked and grabbed Frostkit. Dreamriver saw Freezecloud race across the clearing, and scoop up Tigerkit, before rushing into the Nursery. Leaf-fall and Honeystripe were doing the same. Dreamriver snarled, and leaped onto a black she-cat, and pushing her away before racing out of camp.
There were three patrols out, and Cloudriver was in one of them! She raced through the forest silently, before coming up along the MarshClan border. She scented the air, and followed the fresh scent of the patrol. Finally, she found them.
"Get back to camp! SandClan is attacking!"
Cloudriver was in this patrol, and his eyes widened. The patrol nodded, and raced off all except Cloudriver.
"Come on! I'll help you find the other patrols"
Dreamriver nodded, and went to find the other patrols. Cloudriver went the opposite way.
Dreamriver finally rushed into camp. She already saw Cloudriver fighting, and went to fight beside her mate. She snarled, and ripped into a tom, and then was pulled back by a tan tom. She yowled as the tom slashed her face. He had her pinned down, and she struggled to get up. She felt the weight lifted off of her, and saw Cloudriver wrestling with the tom, eventually driving him away. he ran up to Dreamriver, panting.
"Are you okay?"
She nodded, and smiled, before leaping at a she-cat that was about to spring at Cloudriver...
::---::
She panted, and looked around. SandClan had fled, and she saw every cat, all except for Flameriver. She then saw her mother, Moonlily crouched over a body. She raced over, and saw Flameriver, very badly wounded.
"Sparrowleaf!!!"
The tom medicine cat looked over in annoyance as he was treating some wounds. Then soon raced over when he saw Flameriver.
"Help me bring him back to my den. He's badly wounded, be careful handling him."
Dreamriver and Moonlily nodded, and gently picked up the deputy, and carried him to the den.
Sparrowleaf nodded a thanks, and Moonlily padded out to go see if anyone needed help. Dreamriver smiled, and started to walk out of the den.
"Wait, Dreamriver."
She stopped, and looked over her shoulder.
"I-i think you should know this..."
His eyes danced happily, and she padded back into the den suspiciously....
(SORRYYYYYYYYYY! Again for the long wait. :) )
