After a few moments, Celestialstripe coughed and gasped for life,scrambling to her feet,only to slowly slide back down hopelessly in the mud.With a snarl, she stubbornly sat up,and dug her claws into the ground."Where'd he go?That little...."she snarled,looking around for the raccoon that had attacked her.But then,something else caught her attention.Celestialstripe was beginning to feel weaker and weaker,and as she looked around for the source of the problem,her eyes widened when she found it."Oh StarClan...."She meowed softly,her voice somewhere between a groan and a gasp.For rapidly, blood was dripping from a fresh wound on her neck.Though it hadn't hit the killing spot,if she bled freely for much longer she'd probaly die anyway.

((Yeah. Sure Celestailstripe......get a fatal wound when there ish no Med cats!))
Hawkscar's eyes widened at the site of his sister "d**n ratcoon" He snarled and turned back towards the tree "If she dies.....YOUR going to wish you never were born!" He yowled and turned back to Celestailstripe "Its....ok, theres got to be cobwebs around here somewhere.....and yarrow" He added "Just hold on ok?" He meowed, his voice on the edge of a panicy shake.
Seapaw nodded to Hawkscar as she bounded up towards her mentor "I have the cobwebs" She meowed and instantly began to press the cobwebs into the deep cut on the warrior's neck. Wordlessly, she turned and bounded off towards the hollow tree for more cbowebs.
Hawkscar nodded and bounded off to get some yarrow....

((lol,yep! Celestialstripe: "Tis what i do best!"))
Celestalstripe stared wordlessly at her paws,her eyes narrowed.The attack had happened so fast.But she should have been able to fight.The pain in her neck beginning to grow numb and oddly stiff as the cobwebs stooped the bleeding,she sighed and watched her brother leave,his pawprints quickly fading in the light sand."Thanks,Seapaw."she meowed quietly to her apprentice.

Seapaw shook her head "Save your breath" She meowed and eyed her mentor. Seeing regret in her gaze, she sighed "And stop thinking that you could fight back" She meowed "You had no idea a huge ratcoon was going to take you under the water like it did....no one could have fought back like that." She meowed "And remember the story you told me, on how Hawkscar was attacked by a hawk when he was an apprentice? Its not like he turned and attacked the hawk by himself either" She added and pressed another layer of cobwebs onto the fresh wound.
Moments after he disappeared, Hawkscar reappeared with a jawful of plants and herbs "I learned some of this when I was an apprentice" He meowed and began to chew and mix the herbs together into one paste. After mixing them, he dapped his paw into the thick paste and slowly began to drip it onto the cobwebs, making them turn a tinted yellowish color "Lets get back to camp for tonight" He suggested "Tomorrow, I'll take Smokepaw and Seapaw out....maybe Swiftclaw could come too. Once we find that ratcoon, I'll bring his fur back to line your nest" He vowed to Celestialstripe. His gaze drifted back towards the tree where the ratcoon had retreated, eyes gleaming in the night's shadows. He turned back to Celestailstripe and Seapaw "Lets.....just get to camp ok?"

Celestialstripe sighed,and shrugged sulkily.Then,she shook her head,gently so as not to disturb the cobwebs placed there."I suppose you're right..."she told Seapaw,pausing for a moment, as if debating on whether to say more.Obviously,she decided to,though seemingly with difficulty."It's just that...."she meowed, finding it a bit strange to be confiding in her apprentice."When the raccoon pulled me under....I felt so...helpless."she confessed.However,she was relieved from the task of saying any more by Hawkscar's arrival once again.
After listening to her Brother's raccon comment,Celestialstripe smiled slightly."Thanks,hawkscar."she meowed wearily,growling slighty at the lingering scent of the raccoon."He's still up there somewhere."she hissed,suddenly hostile again.The one who had nearly killed her was above,listening to her every word, out of reach,and yet,fully capible of attacking at any moment.And Celestialstripe didn't like it.And then,almost as if Hawkscar was echoing her thoughts aloud, he spoke.Celestialstripe nodded,and stood up as best she could."Okay..."she agreed quitely.
Above,Sly stood on the highest branch of the tree,watching and waiting.These creatures were already wary and full of rage.Parinoid.Perhaps this was a good thing.Then again,maybe it wasn't.His brown eyes glittering in the shadows,Sly smirked as he listened to the cats' conversation silently.Though the two species spoke in different tongues, he could understand them for the most part.

Seapaw nudged her mentor slightly to help her to her paws "I guess we take the long way back huh?" She meowed in slight humor. She padded on beside her mentor as the patrol headed back towards the camp.
Hawkscar narrowed his eyes, already comming up with a small party to hunt and kill that ratcoon. Already choosing his apprentice and Seapaw to come he was thinking of another warrior to come along. Again returning to the distant state he was in before the waterfall and his head hung low in shame that he wasnt the one that had been attacked by the ratcoon instead. The flame colored tom padded on towards the camp with out looking up to see where he was heading.
Suddenly, he brought his head up again with a new plot to kill that ratcoon. He would go alone instead of risking the apprentices lives or another warriors......he would take that ratcoon down by himself. WITHOUT help or interuptions.
