(( Lol, Nice NightShade. ;D

And Nano, yer not responding to my Rmails! ))

(( Err... Yeah? ))

Wolf sighed slightly and he glared sharply at Dogheart, his blind gaze terrifying. "Over. My. Dead. Body." he spat.

Foxpaw watched him. Why was Wolf so angry? Suddenly, she saw a large and deep cut on his thigh that was bleeding. She looked closer and she saw a needle inside it. A human needle. She let out a silent squeak.

Wolf rounded on Foxpaw and he smacked her upside the head.

~

Foxpaw flew through the air and landed on a patch of moss. She lay sill, waiting for the pain of the smack to fade.

Wolf's eyes grew wide with horror and he began backing away, shaking his head. His leg with the wounded thigh gave out from under him and he let out a yowl as he landed on it. he lay still, breathing hard. "Sorry Nightshade... Maybe I shouldn't..... of come..." He whispered, staring blindly up at her.

Nightstar stared with horror as she watched Wolf smack her apprentice and see a twoleg needle on his side. "Dogheart, if you want to fight, I will. I'm only giving you a warning to stay off our territory. Tonight has a truce of no fighting." She told Dogheart warily, still ooking at Wolf. "Wolf, where have you been?" She asked, daringly taking a few steps closer to look at the needle stuck in him. "What happened?"

Skyshadow smiled. "Great catch! Sorry I left you in camp, there was a dilemma going on at the Gathering. But now that we're here, I'm certainly not taking the long trek back! Wanna train? We haven't done so in a while, and I apologize, but I've been so busy, yet stilll trying to train you!" She sighed, then took a ferocious bite out of an eagle, her taste buds buzzing. "I guess I'll stay here, too. The Gathering's almost over, and I'll need to get a good sleep so I can train Sparrowpaw tomorrow."

Wolf lashed out at Nightshade when she came close. "Don't!" he cried, his voice deadly again. Then he flopped back down, foam at the edges of his mouth. "I was looking for herbs to stock up on in case I got hurt or the clans needed it when someone humans startled me." He shook his head slowly. "I can't believe they were able to sneak up on me. They shot something into my thigh and I blacked out. When i woke up, all I could feel was blinding pain. I stumbled through the forest. Soon, the blinding pain clouded my thoughts and I became one who is lost." he said the last part in a whisper. He body convulsed and he coughed harshly.

Foxpaw finally sat up and pawed her head. She wiped it away to see small flecks of blood on her paw. She stared at Wolf. He was strong! He hadn't been lying. She stumbled behind her mentor and watched Wolf. What had happened to the friendly cat i had met before? She thought sadly, watching him.
