Lillypaw's paws seemed to hit the ground like bricks, weighing her down as they hit the ground. The apprentice took short gasps of breath as she kept running as fast as she could. The entrance of the Windclan camp loomed up ahead. Thank Starclan! thought Lillypaw. She stopped for a heartbeat before forcing herself to gallop into the camp. "Spottedstar!! Windfleet!", the medicine cat apprentice stopped, her heavy breathing probably heard at the back of every den.

Snowshoe, who had been sifting through some herbs that she had gathered, started violently as Lillypaw's voice rang through the camp. Her thick white leopard spotted pelt stood on end as her wide paws hit the ground and her short stocky legs began running as fast as they could out of the den. At the entrance of the den she paused and glacned around, then took off again with her bob tail held high as she charged towards Lillypaw. 'What is wrong darling?' she asked worriedly, giving her a hasty lick on her head to try and calm her as her gray eyes flashed with worry.

Lillypaw's breathing became slightly more normal, feeling reassured with Snowshoe there. "Icestorm", the young she-cat gasped. "She's fighting 6 loners all at once! Mirrorkit is there too." Lillypaw gasped for more air before continuing. "We don't have much time. Icestorm could die any minute"
Spottedstar, allerted by the commotion, raced out of her den to Lillypaw's side. She'd heard what the medicine cat apprentice had said. "Where?" she demanded, giving Lillypaw a friendly lick. "Moor", replied the apprentice.

Snowshoe's head whipped up to look at Spottedstar, waiting for instruction. She knew that she would most likely not be able to go, she knew that she should probably start getting herbs ready for injuries. She glanced around as Quickpaw, Tigerpaw, and Brownpaw all came running up with their eyes wide in wonder. 'What? Loners? Great! Let's go!!' Tigerpaw looked at Spottedstar and then started off at a quick pace, Quickpaw close behind him, though she wasn't sure they should be going without Spottedstar telling them to. Brownpaw stayed behind, knowing that he shouldn't go unless Spottedstar told him to. Ashpelt's dark form appeared from the warriors den with Badgerpaw. They both trotted over and Ashpelt stared at Spottedstar, waiting for her to lead.

"Tigerpaw! Quickpaw!", called the leader. "Back here please." She closed her eyes, thinking of a plan. They shot open a heart-beat later. "Okay", meowed Spottedstar. "Ashpelt, you and the rest of the apprentices come with me. Lillypaw, I think you're too tired to lead us. Snowshoe can come with us instead and treat Mirrorkit. Lillypaw, I want you to-" Spottedstar broke off as Birchfur appeared from the warriors den. "Birchfur, we need your speed. One of the apprentices can stay here with Lillypaw. When more warriors appear, tell them what has happened and lead them to us. Are there any volunteers to do that?" Spottedstar's gaze swept over the apprentices in question.
[ooc] That plan alright with you? The thread is Mike, open to all in the Moorlands.

[{fine with me!}]
Tigerpaw and Quickpaw stopped as they heard Spottedstar's voice calling them back and then trotted over to her, eyes lifted expectantly. 'Great! We'll still get to fight.' he grinned and nudged Quickpaw with a grin. Quickpaw smiled and nodded in aknowledgement.
Brownpaw lifted his head. 'I can stay!' he called. He was good at tracking and he didn't exactly want to fight yet, he wanted to train more first, especially since he couldn't see. He sat down next to Lillypaw and smiled, relieved.
Badgerpaw smiled faintly as Spottedstar explained her plan to the others. She wasn't excited about fighting, but she wasn't dreading it either. She decided that it would be good to try out what she had been learning lately in her training. She shuffled her paws and waited impatiently.

Spottedstar gathered the patrol with a flick of her tail. "Let's go then", she meowed. With a last reassuring glance at Lillypaw, the Windclan leader bounded out of the camp, Birchfur just behind her. - - - Lillypaw watched her leader go in silence. She hoped that the rouges would be driven away without too many being injured. She looked at Brownpaw beside her. "You don't want to fight?" she inquired.

Ashpelt and Badgerpaw bounded after Spottedstar, staying near the back. Not that they weren't eager to fight but because Badgerpaw wasn't very fast and Ashpelt liked the company of the quiet apprentice. Snowshoe also hung near the back, because her legs were too thick and short.
Tigerpaw and Quickpaw, eager to fight, ran quickly close behind Spottedstar. They were running as fast as they possibly could, excitement eminating from them in waves.

Brownpaw looked over at Lillypaw and debated on whether or not to tell her. He had only told Tigerpaw and Quickpaw because they were his closest friends and he trusted them the most. Also, Quickpaw had eyes as quick as her paws and had caught that Brownpaw didn't seem to be able to see very well. 'Well, it's kinda hard to explain.' he admitted, truthfully enough. He wasn't sure how to say that he was blind, useless perhaps, when he had gotten so much training done on him. He didn't want it to get out that he had been keeping a secret that might mean that his training had been wasted.
