Brightpaw slumped lazily over her nest of bedding, her eyes closed and her tail resting atop her nose. The sun streamed down onto her pelt soaking into her fur and making her sleepy. She finally felt she was only being a burden to her Clan by just sleeping, so she stood up from her comfy nest of dried moss. She let out a big yawn and stretched her forelegs and then her hindlegs. She padded sleepily over to the crack where the herbs were kept and began to organize them and see which supplies she should replenish for Solargaze. She saw that their supply of watermint was very low, she probably would have to warn Solargaze about it and collect some more later. She also noticed that she might need to collect some more Poppy seed and juniper berry while she was out. She sighed and flicked her tail wondering where Solargaze could possibly be! She lifted her snout to the air, closing her eyes and taking in all of the scents of the den. Solargazes's scent was definitely stale. She stared out the entrance to the den waiting impatiently for her mentor to return.

Solargaze entered with strange purple berries clambed slitghly in her jaws. She carefully set them down next to the low supply of borage leaves and water mint and lifted her head to look up at Brightpaw.
"I see we're low on supplies, I want to teach you about a berry today, wolf berries. they are the same tecture and shape of death berries, only they're purple. So don't get them mixed up. They help slow seizures, relieve aching joints, and prevent heart attacks for the elders. But it is very important to only use so much of these, to many could parylize you."She warned and sat down to give her shoulder a few licks.

Brightpaw nodded and began to examine the wolf berries. She took in the bitter smell in her nostrils and winced a little. She then spat, "They smell horrible!" She twitched her ears and opened her eyes again to stare at the berries. She looked up at her mentor and said, "How can you even tell the difference between them and deathberries? they look and smell exactly the same..." Her voice trailed off as she blankly stared at the berries concentrating hard on if she noticed any differences. The sun began to soak into her pelt like water and make her feel tired, she blinked and looked up at her mentor and said, "But they sound very useful. Of course, there is hardly any in our stock, should we replenish them soon? Oh yes, we're low on Juniper and Watermint, so we should replenish them too."

"Calm down."Solargaze chuckled and put a paw on her apprentices mouth."My sleepy little apprentice, maybe if you weren't so hyper and excited all the time you'd sleep better at night. Death berries are red, and wolf berries are a redish purple. They'll be darker."She purred.
This medicine cat was truely beautiful, mind and look wise. She started for the entrance and looked behind her.
"Are you coming? Wash your paws after handling the herbs too please, because we need more mouse bile as well."

"Mouse-Dung! I hate gathering stupid mouse bile..." She muttered as she followed her mentor out of the entrance to the medicine cat's den. She yawned as she trailed behind the ginger pelt of her mentor, "You're right I should go to sleep earlier I sure am T-I-R-E-D!" She flicked her tail irritably and made her way through the undergrowth. She suddenly stopped in her tracks, "Hey! I smell Juniper!" She gaped her jaws wide and took in the scent and began to follow it. She soon found a bush with spiky, dark green leaves and purple berries. She quickly began to pull the small berries off of their branches. She gathered them up in a small pile in the grass beside her creamy white pelt. "That should be enough." She soon sighed, stuffing the berries in her cheeks like a chipmunk and padding over to her mentor.

Solargaze still had the usual smile on her face. Her tail poked from out of the bush Brightpaw was in.
"I found wolf ber- SNAP! MROW!"Solargaze shrieked as her tail fur spiked and she kicked and squealed.
Around her paw was a silver tooth filled, jaw like twoleg contraption. It was a fox trap.
"BRIGHTPAW! BRIGHTPAW HELP ME!"She squealed desperatly as tears spilled from her eyes and blood poured from her right paw."Get it off! Before I lose my paw!"

"OH MY GREAT STAR CLAN!" Yowled Brightpaw, a timid and scared look in her eyes. She looked around, "Fox-dung! Where's some poppy seed?!" She gaped her jaws wide, but all she could smell was blood. Her neck fur bristled and her tail fluffed out she was determined to save her mentor. Suddenly the smell of poppy filled her nostrils she bounded towards the patch of poppy and pulled off a head of it and bounded back over to Solargaze. She said, "EAT THE POPPY SEEDS!" She then snatched a huge wad of cobweb and pressed it against her mentor's paw, sobbing really hard. Through her tears she meowed, "Please don't leave me Solargaze! I am not ready to be a full fledge medicine cat!" She sat beside her mentor crying and padding cobwebs to Solargaze's paw.

It stung like no other pain as Brightpaw pressed the dob webs down, she could feel the trap cut down further.
"Go get Dreamstar! She's close!"Solargaze mewed helplessly as she yanked desperatly and tried to free herself.
"I'm already here! I could hear your cries for help."
A beautiful, silver cat jumped down with her long, wavy hair. Her black striped made her look taller than she was, her eyes a mixture of green and grey.
"Dreamstar! We don't know what to do! Although Brightpaw has done a well job of calming me with poppy seeds, I need to ge this off!"Solargaze's eyes shined with more tears she tried to hold back infront of the great leader.
"Hold on!"Dreamstar mewed dertermined has she dug up the steak of the trap that held it to the ground."Now Brightpaw, you grap one side and pull that way, I'll do the same."
Her eyes turned fully green and determined as she grabbed one side of the gaping, medal jaws, ready to pull.

Brightpaw did as Dreamstar told her pulling as good as she could with her jaws. Her creamy white siamese fur was stained with red and all she smelled was the stank of blood...everywhere. She yanked but it felt as if her teeth were being pulled out of he gums. She flicked her tail and studdenly felt it become looser. She felt the pupils in her eyes become littler. She saw the wond that the fox trap had put upon Solargaze's ankle it was deep and bloody. Brightpaw winced as she stared at it from her pulling. She then began to pull harder this horrible twoleg contraption had to come off her mentor's leg! Her mentor was not to be lost to Star Clan! She flicked her tail aggresively, her muscles were tense and she felt sooooooooooooo tired from having hardly any sleep along with pulling for so long.

"I'm afraid I can not help medicne wise, if there's anything I can get you I'll try!"She promised as she murmured to Solargaze who still bled.
Dreamstar's eyes turned green from more determination and snatched cob webs.
"Brightpaw, maybe you can make some sort of cast with that."Solargaze whimpered as she tried her best bot to cringe while Dreamstar touched her wound.
"If your clan needs anything major, I can send someone down from my clan, you certainly can't do much with that kind of wound. You're lucky I was patroling when i was or you would have died."Dreamstar wished that Smallclaw was here.
Her eyes seemed kind of watery, as if not her own feelings. She hated it, but she knew one day she'd meet the thing that haunted her so badly.

Brightpaw said, "Well you can find loads of cobwebs and a stick for the cast." She nodded and pushed her noze into the ginger fur of Solargaze. Her eyes wellled up in tears as she said, "It'll be just fine. I promise you." She rasped her tongue over the ear of Solargaze a determined look glowing in her robin egg blue eyes. She flicked her tan tail and stood up searching the clearing and checking if Dreamstar had returned yet. She gently licked the wound on Dreamstar's ankle and muttered, "Want more poppy seeds?" She grabbed her poppy head and layed it beside the ginger paw of her medicie cat mentor. She sat down and realized the sun was setting, they would have to return to camp soon. "We should also report this fox trap to Solarstar, he will need to tell the patrols about it."

"Yes, we will. And yes it would help."She murmured, staring down at her ankle.
It was shredded. It would be a permanent scar, perhaps even a permanent wound too.
"Back, here. Do you need help returning back to camp?"Dreamstar purred soothingly as she helped Solargaze up.

Brightpaw put the sticks on the back and front of Solargaze's ginger bloody leg. She strung the socweb around it to hold it in place she murmured, "That's the best i can do for now, let's go back to camp. First I should give you some more poppy seed though." She grabbed the poppy head and nudged it closer to Solargaze. After her mentor had eaten some, she helped Solargaze up and they padded through the undergrowth back to camp. She was tempted by the welcoming aromas of herbs growing all around her but her duty was to bring Solargaze back to camp. They approached the thron tunnel and padded through it into the main clearing.
