Palebelly looked down, trying to hide her tears. “I’m fine. I shouldn’t go into labor for a few days.”

Otterholt raised an eyebrow at the Queen. "I'm not asking about your labour, Palebelly. Clearly you're upset about something," Otterholt stated matter-of-factly. "If you were not upset you wouldn't be here now in front of the leader's den sniffling."

“It’s just something that Echostar needs to know. I’ll probably be exiled before I have my kits.” Palebelly didn’t look up at the medicine cat apprentice. “No need for you to worry.”

"Exilted?! Whatever do you mean?" Otterholt was taken aback by Palebelly's comment; she had to admit to herself that she never spent much time around the clearing or around the daily gossip of the camp, but the exile of a clan cat seemed like a piece of gossip that would, or should, have made it to the medicine cat apprentice's own ears.

“Someone else will have to tell you.” Palebelly sighed. She curled her tail around her paws. Her eyes stared blankly at her paws.

"I understand that I may not be the most sociable cat, Palebelly, but if you want to talk, I can always listen. As a Medicine Cat, I care for, and about, the welfare of the cats in Anouraclan; that does not just mean physical injuries but the mental injuries as well. You may not want to talk now, but if you ever change your mind you can find me in the Medicine Den," Otterholt gave Palebelly a small smile before turning to leave the Queen.

Palebelly nodded. She started crying silently again. She was terrified, but she knew the chances. Her whole body trembled.

Otterholt glanced back at Palebelly one more time before returning to the Medicine Den; she would wait a little there to see if Geckofern showed up. To keep her mind off of the troubling events with Palebelly she decided to sort through the stock of herbs layered in the cracks of the dens walls.

"Really? Foxshadow's a deputy now? Guess that means I really am meant to be leader." The lynx point loner clicked his tongue thoughtfully before glancing over at his feisty friend. He stretched his long, striped legs out lazily before releasing a heavy sigh. "Oh, yes. You are very tiring for Mr....uh, I haven't picked out a leader name yet."

With the patrols done and that discussion with the white warrior over with, Foxshadow had a few moments to himself. The newly elected deputy was yet to decide what he'd do with the rest of his afternoon, but he was contemplating going for a hunt.

Pawing through the clans storage of herbs provided Otterholt the knowledge of what herbs the Medicine Den was running low on. "Plenty of cobwebs and goldenrod," the she-cat murmured to herself as she swept over the contents of the storage niches in the stone wall of the den. "Could do with some more poppy seeds and marigold."
Otterholt suddenly recalled Palebelly's remark of kitting in the next few days; the Queen would need certain herbs that the Medicine Cat's could provide to aid with the birthing and the after birth. Scanning back through the herbs, Otterholt concluded that borage and burnet would be needed. "Borage for milk production and burnet for strength during the birth," Otterholt muttered to herself before padding out of the Medicine Den.
The she-cat spotted Foxshadow in the clearing of the camp; she surmised that she would need help collecting the herbs and there were no apprentices to be found around the camp.
"Foxshadow!" she called to the tomcat, limping over to where he sat in the clearing. She mentally made a note to herself that more comfrey root wouldn't hurt; her mangled paw was sending unpleasant stabs of pain through her nerves. "If you are not currently occupied, would you mind accompanying me to gather a few herbs? I would ask an apprentice, but as there are none in the near vicinity you've made it top on my list of helpers for the evening."

Cherryfrost narrowed her eyes. "How about Stupidstar?" She teased. "Just because Foxshadow trained you doesnt make you a great leader. You are too full of yourself to be that good a leader." She said and waved her tail around.

Applepaw was playing around in the mud as he made his way to the marsh. While he kicked up some mud, a fast and peculiar worm shot from beneath his paws. Channeling his inner kit, he followed it and tried to pin it under his small but sharp claws. He almost didn't notice that he had passed the large reeds and was close to the swampy water. The worm vanished within it making Applepaw stop, his paws slightly beneath the sinking mud that has splashed up and past his shoulders.
Applepaws fur was always dirty, so this didn't bother him much. What most cats would think that his fur patterns were just tabby stripes and a dark ginger, but really, that was just all the mud and clay that caught in and stained his fur since he was a kit. He never had a proper bath and never washed himself. Why he never smelled like dung was a mystery. Maybe if he at least was properly groomed or thrown into the river, the rest of his markings would be visible.
Applepaw began to back away from. the water. He never quite cared for it much anyway. even when he felt dehydrated. Trying to hop over the tall reeds, his Honda legs slipped and he tried to catch his balance by slamming his two front paws in the mud. He felt them squish and sink into the mud tightly and uncomfortably. He knew he was now stuck before he heard the mud scream beneath him. His fur stood out in tufts of dark ginger and brown.
The apprentice wasn't sure what to do or if anything could find him. Was he even in the clan territory? Would they waste their time looking for a cat whow asnt even clanborn? Would they even cared for a cat who wasn't clan born? He began to feel sick in his stomach as he realized that was probably what Palebelly was thinking about with her kits. Maybe he shouldn't have been so hard on her when Blossompaw snapped. He just wanted to make his fellow apprentice feel something about him. Even if it was just a yad bit or respect. Maybe he should start thinking about how all these cats should have nothing to do with him if he grew up like Blossompaw was. His sharp blue eyes softened as he looked to the ground quickly, still struggling to distract him from his racing thoughts. He was feeling bad for thinking that about a fellow apprentice he didnt even know too well. She wasn't even that bad. Was this how he really was? Wanting others to think about him while he judged them? His fur tingle, but he shook his head roughly. If this was what he was thinking in a place he should be trying to get out of, he was surely never going to be found. He let out a loud yowl, his tail sticking out of the mud, spiked with the dark gooey substance. "Help!"
His clan scent wasn't that strong to begin with, seeing as he was sonly there for a few short moons, but now he was sure he wouldn't even be recognizable in the mud. Would his clanmates help a complete stranger like Seed had helped Owlscar? He yowled, hoping his voice was heard from wherever he was.

Owlscar looked at the medicine den where Seed was resting. Owlscars leg was still hurt but she could walk on it. Owlscar turned towards the entrance and looked back at the camp to make sure no one was watching, she knew she shouldn’t leave camp but Owlscar wanted to hunt again. It was boring being stuck in camp all day, Seed was asleep so if she came back soon enough Seed would never know.
Owlscar was hunting, it was hard and she was often stumbling over her back leg but she still managed to catch 2 mice. She was near the more swampy area of the territory, she didn’t want to go in there knowing she would most likely get stuck. Owlscar was stalking a mouse when she heard a small “Help!” coming from the swampy area. Her ears twitch and she yelled back “Who’s there?”

Applepaw wasn't sure who's voice he heard, but he heard someone. He yowled out one more time, listening intently. Glancing around, he saw the worm from earlier, hiding within the reeds. "Oh, I bet your just LAUGHING now, arent you?!" He hissed to it, wishing he could free a paw and swipe at it. The worm seemed to stick it tongue out for a split second, Applepaw assumed in a mocking manner, knowing most likely it didnt even know what was going on. Then, Applepaw froze. "Worms don't have tongues." He mewed silently to himself, sounding as if he wasn't ready to meet his maker just yet. He didn't think of the snake just being a hatchling and probably more scared of him than he was it. That didn't keep him from screeching, though. "Help me! Oh God I'm gonna die!" He yowled. Not being too familiar with the clans religion just yet, he used the only phrase he learned from his mother.

Horror filled Owlscar as she was almost positive that the voice was Applepaw she stared at the swamp knowing she couldn’t go through it. She called back to the voice, just to make sure it was Applepaw “Applepaw! Is that you? Are you ok?”
