((:P I've never met Sparkfire pissed off, and if there's one thing she hates, it's being told what to do rather than asked...))

"I'll say what I want Nightstar!" Sparkfire hissed bitterly. "I'll go get some new catmint if you're too stubborn to admit that you have black cough, or you simpy want to take it away from anyone who may have something curable!" she said, stomping out of the medicine cat den and towards the rescue party. "I'll lead you to where Applepaw must have gone, then I'll go back to camp with catmint." Oh, but she wasn't bringing back catmint for her dear mother. She would bring back a sprig of nightshade, the two herbs smelled similar anyways.

Crowheart nodded. "Let's move then! Sparkfire, lead the way!" he said.

Sparkfire growled and led the patrol into the forest on Applepaw's scent to the twoleg garden.

((Hahaha. Sparkfire's scary when she's pissed. XD Post coming))

Nightstar scowled, her temper burning away. She was about to say something sharp back, but Sparkfire had already gone.  She glared at the entrance, frowning, thenstood up. She wasn't really planning on going anywhere, but the scent of herbs made her feel a bit weird. She blinked, trying to withstand the dizzy feeling. She couldn't tell whether it was from the scent of herbs or because of blackcough. She shook herself fiercly, then sighed heavily. Just as she tried to clear her throat, a strong and painful cough came up, making Nightstar make a quiet shriek of pain. No blood.......yet.

((Hahahah yeah.))

Cinderpaw ran as fast as she could, staying closley behind Sparkfire.

Sparkfire stopped at the patch of catmint. "She would have been right here, you continue the search." she said, picking catmint. Nightstar wouldn't eat nightshade if it wasn't hidden.

Crowheart nodded, then saw Applepaw... inside the monster! It was driving away down the thunder path! His tail drooped. "You guys, Applepaw was inside that monster." he said.

((Are you planning on killing off Applepaw or making some epic appearance? XDD))

"WHat? You saw her in there?" Cinderpaw asked, hoping he was lying. She didn't want to see her sister go.

((You'll see))

"Yeah, I saw her." said Crowheart dryly. He jumped up to the window and nearly jumped out of his skin. "They left their dog, so they'll probably be back, even if they don't have Applepaw, we can get a bit of revenge." he growled.

Sparkfire finished with the catmint, taking a leaf of Nightshade from under the tree and bounding back to camp. That would be all it would take. Nightstar would die... and be healed in a way.

((Suprises, surprises.....c:))

A flash of sorrow went through Cinderpaw's eyes, but quickly switched to fury. "Those twolegs will be sorry for what they did!"

Nightstar tried to get confortable in the nest, coughing every now and then, getting worser and worser like it was supposed to if you got blackcough.

Sparkfire entered the medicine cat den and dropped the herbs in front of Nightstar. "Eat these, though I doubt you'll feel any better, catmint doesn't help cats with black caough." she said bitterly.

Crowheart waited for the twolegs to return.

Bloodstar sighed. "Okay, after all, you do need your full medicine cat name, and no one knows how to give that to you, run along."

Nightstar purred. "Simply follow my scent, and your instincts Spoolpaw." she said. "I've already picked out the best name for you."

Nightstar looked up, glaring at her daughter for the bitterness in her voice. (What a horrible death! XD) Not saying anything, she opened her mouth and bit down into the herbs Sparkfire gave her, chewing them up and then swallowing. Something felt...different...(Death coming in next post! Jeez thats sounds weird to say!)

Cinderpaw hopped up next to Crowheart, waited along with him.
